"Could I Keep the Good News?"

Listen from:
MANY years since, a New Zealand girl was brought over to be educated. She became a true Christian. When she was about to return, some of her playmates endeavored to dissuade her, saying, “Why go back to New Zealand? You are accustomed to this climate now, and it suits your health; besides, you may be shipwrecked on the ocean; and everybody there will have forgotten you.”
“What!” she said in reply, “do you think that I could keep the good news to myself? Do you think that I could be content with having received pardon, peace, and eternal life for myself, and not go and tell my dear father and mother how they may have it too?”
