After a heavy rain, the water rushed down the hillside one morning, encircling our school, and flooding the road for a half a mile. Some of the smaller children had to be-carried to school by their parents, and others took off their shoes and stockings to wade.
One of the tiny girls fell into the water, and a great call arose that slit would be drowned. A brave bov threw down his books, and wading into the deep water, lifted the little girl, taking her in his arms to the school door. We all cheered him, and the next week he was presented with a watch.
Who do you think gave him the watch? The little girl, whose life he had saved.
So the Lord Jesus went down into the waters of death for us, by dying oh the cross that we might be saved from an eternal hell, of suffering and woe, to be with Him forever in His glory above.
All who trust themselves to Him as their Saviour, will want to give Him, not a present like a watch, but give their own selves to serve and please Him day by day, for all His great love to them.
