THE following letter was written by a little girl, of eight years of age, to her brother. The child was in great trouble lest her brother should not love Jesus. This is the letter: —
“Dear brother, —I write this letter and hope you are quite well. I hope you feel the need of a Saviour. Do believe Jesus died for you. It is so simple; you have only to believe on Him, and confess your sins to Jesus, and He will pardon you. Think how sad it will be if you do not believe on Jesus now. You will be cast out into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. O! do come to Jesus now. Do not put off till tomorrow. Tomorrow may not come. I am sure you have had Christ and His cross put to you so many times, yet you have rejected it. O! how sad if all the family went to heaven and you were left out!
“I am your affectionate sister....”
“I could not wrap my guilty soul
In any robe of mine.
Sure naught can make me fit for God,
But righteousness divine.”
