It was a large sheet, with only six words on it, painted in plain blue and red letters. It hung for many years in a little room where boys and girls met on the Lord’s-day afternoons to hear of Jesus and His love, and where meetings were also held for older people in the evenings. It was colored by a little boy who loved the Lord, and desired to do something to lead others to Him. He was too young to be a teacher, and the thought crossed his mind that he might spend a few of the winter evenings coloring this text for the meeting-room, and perhaps it might be the means of arousing some little one to think. After he had finished it, he asked permission to put it up on the wall. Many an eye rested on it, and it was known that God blessed the word of that Colored Text to make more than one think about the great eternity and “the wrath to come.”
How many boys and girls who are saved might do a similar work, and if it were truly done for the Lord Jesus, he would bless it to many.
