Bill, the Telegraph Boy

From: Messages of God's Love: 1945

I had a bright little boy in my Bible Class, a telegraph messenger, whose happy face and consistent life and testimony as a Christian had done much to interest the young folks in the Gospel. He was saved in the Sunday school, and says it was while one of the teachers was speaking from the lesson for that day which was Exodus, ch. 12, the blood on the doorposts, which made the first-born son safe.

“The blood of Jesus the Lamb of God, which I trust makes me safe, and the Word of God which says, ‘Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe’ (Prov. 29:25²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. (Proverbs 29:25)), makes me sure,” was Bill’s bright testimony of the lips to the saving power of Christ.

Always rejoicing, as he delivers his telegrams to rich and poor alike, he is a true messenger of the Gospel as well, and testifies of Christ.

“It is the blood that inaketh atonent for the soul.” Leviticus 17:11¹¹For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. (Leviticus 17:11).

“Without shedding of blood is no remission.” Hebrews 9:22²²And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22).

“The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7⁷But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7).
