"What is it?" asked a sad-faced Glasgow mother when offered a gospel tract.
"A little tract that tells you how Jesus died to save poor lost sinners," replied the Christian worker.
"I am a poor lost sinner," she replied, "and when I am drunk I am wicked and bad tempered.
"One day when the children came home from school for dinner, I was drunk and had no dinner prepared. They asked for something to eat and I beat them and sent them back to school without dinner." As she told that part of her story she wept bitterly and said in broad Scotch: "Oh, man, de ye think that God wid save a puir drunken mither that leathered her weans and sent them back te school without their dinner?"
He assured her that God would save her, proving from the Bible all that he said. Her reply was: `Oh, man, ye widna deceive a puir sinner like me, wid ye?" He then read her Isaiah 7:18:
"Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool. If ye be willing..." Then he added: "God is willing. Are you willing?"
"My God, I am willing," she cried as she dropped on her knees. She was born again and her joy knew no bounds.
About four months later the Christian that presented her with the tract received a letter from her husband whom he had never met. He wrote to say he felt he should thank him for the great change that had taken place in his home, and then added: "I don't understand about being saved and being 'born again' that my wife is always talking about; but this I do understand, that my home that was through my wife's conduct made a misery for years, has through her changed conduct, been made a perfect Heaven for four months. I hope I may have my wife's joy soon."
"Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matt. 5:15, 16.
