Eddie was a telegraph operator in a little town in the Midwest. He was very anxious about his soul's salvation, but had no idea how he could get peace, comfort or rest. One day he even listened to three preachers, but did not receive an answer.
He went home to his room very much upset. How could he get saved? He knew his sins were unforgiven, and he had little sleep that night.
Monday morning he went to his work in the telegraph "box" on a railway line. Shortly after he arrived, there came the signal that his station was called. As the message was received, he wrote down the name of the sender and addressee then waited for the rest.
He dropped his pencil and looked at the telegram. It had been sent to a young lady who also was troubled about her soul, and who, too, found peace in believing the precious message, as she read it later. But to Eddie, it was God's message directly to him, and he accepted it as such.
He said afterward: "The words: Lamb of God Redemption Blood Riches of His Grace went right into my poor heart. No one in the whole world could have had greater joy than I had that Monday morning."
