CONNIE and her sister May were at some children’s meetings and picked up the words and tune of the popular hymn the chorus of which is,
“Jesus paid it all: all to Him I owe.”
They sang it at home, in the house and at play until their mother became so interested that she asked Connie one day
“What did Jesus pay?”
Connie, although the elder of the two girls could not answer, but her sister May, three years younger, quietly said,
“His own precious blood.” That she had learned at the meetings, and I think it had been received into her heart by faith.
When the two girls were alone, Connie told May how much she desired to be saved and her younger sister told her how Jesus had “paid it all,” and there was “nothing to do, but just believe on Him.” Connie believed, was saved.
Her mother went with her to the meetings and was saved, and before long her father also was converted. Now they all delight to sing “Jesus paid it all,” and call it “Connie’s Hymn.”
