When I was in Ireland, one Sunday afternoon I was invited to speak to some children. Such a crowd of children came that we had some difficulty in packing them in the seats and on the benches.
After the service commenced, I noticed the door open and two little mites dressed in white walk in, holding each other by the hand.
They came slowly along the middle aisle, looking into each row of seats, but the people only shook their heads, which meant “no room,” “no room.”
At last they had walked right up to the front, and could not find a seat, so I paused a minute and asked for some hassocks. The dear little sisters then sat down just at my feet.
At the close of the service, a well-known writer to children talked to these little ones in the after meeting. Presently the smaller of the two, who was only four years old, looked up so brightly and said to the lady,
“I know what Jesus will say if I come to Him.”
“Well, dear, what will He say?”
“He will say, ‘Come along little one, I am so glad to see you.’ “
Yes, that is what Jesus will say to any poor sinner, reading this little paper, who comes to Him. “I am so glad to see you,” for “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” (Luke 15:10).
“Suffer the little children to come unto Me (Mark 10:14); “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28); “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” (John 6:37.)
Do you feel a desire to come? Do you feel a secret drawing towards the Reemer? It is surely the Holy Spirit drawing your heart to look to Jesus and be saved.
Look at once and live!
Trust Him and be saved!
