A BOY eight years of age was knocked down and run over, and so hurt that at first it was feared he was dead. He was carried home and laid on his bed, and when after an hour or two he opened his eyes, his poor mother was so thankful that he was spared.
However, it was not God's will that the little fellow ever should be well again. He suffered a great deal for a few days, and was scarcely able to talk, until about nine hours before his death, when the pain left him. Then he sang many hymns, and said to his Mother: "Mother, I am going to Jesus! I am going to sing, 'Glory! Glory! Glory!' in heaven. I shall stand before the throne of God! I shall see Jesus, for He shed His blood for me! Glory! Glory! Glory!"
"Glory! Glory! Glory!" These were Henry's last words. He had been taught that he was a sinner, but that the "blood of Jesus Christ . . . cleanseth . . . from all sin," when dying, God in mercy and love gave him strength to assure his parents that he was going home to Jesus.
My young friend, where would your soul go, if you were suddenly to meet with an accident which should cause your death? Does the thought make you shudder? Well it may, unless you have found Jesus; for if you cannot answer, 'Whatever may happen to my body, my soul is saved, through what Jesus has done for me,' you are in awful danger of being eternally lost. THIS VERY NIGHT God may require your soul to appear before Him, and then, if not already IN CHRIST, how shall you escape punishment for your sins?
