A small group of children were on their way to Sunday school. One of them had a little packet of gospel tracts. They passed the farm of a neighbor who had long neglected going to the gospel meetings; in fact, he had gone downhill for some time.
One energetic little gospeler climbed over the fence and fastened a tract called “The Swearer’s Prayer” to the man’s plow, and then went on to Sunday school.
Monday morning the farmer returned to his plowing, found the tract, read it, took it home and read it again and again. His heart and conscience were stirred. In repentance he sought the Lord, who graciously received him, for He has said, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37. The farmer found peace in the Saviour’s love. And all this through a gospel tract given out by a little child.
