IT WAS in a little country schoolhouse. Twelve boys and girls formed the class. The school teacher’s wife taught that Sunday school and she sought to interest the boys and girls in the great matter of their present and personal salvation. One Sunday she departed from her usual lesson and used the blackboard, giving the children a plain talk on the Lord Jesus Christ — A Saviour, THE Saviour, MY Saviour.
One of the boys, a bright-eyed young fellow of twelve, was that day led to accept Jesus as his personal Saviour, and to say, “My Saviour.”
The blackboard was often used after that with good results, and the boy who was that day saved is himself now an earnest Sunday school teacher, and in his service for the Lord often uses the blackboard.
