Many years since, a New Zealand girl was brought to England 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 England 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 pardon, peace:, and eternal life for myself, and not go and tell my dear father and mother how they may be saved too?”
“Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.” Mark 5:19.
