Harold is a happy Christian man whom we met once in a grocery store. When we asked him how he came to know the Lord Jesus as his own Saviour, he told us the following story:
"When I was a boy I attended a large church every Sunday where I was a choir boy and wore a long black robe, However, I knew nothing of the way of Christ Jesus. As I grew older, I drilled away from the church and became indifferent.
“Some years later my little daughter and son started to attend a Sunday school in our neighborhood, and they brought their gospel papers home. I began to read the little papers and noticed the word 'salvation.' This was a new word to me. The children would beg me to go with them to the gospel hall.
They said,
`”We sing about Jesus and read from the Bible, and the men say that we have le he saved to get to heaven.' I became interested, and finally one night I said to my wife,
"Wife, I'm going to that gospel meeting and I'm going to get saved tonight.' That night I accepted the. Lord Jesus as my Saviour and peace and joy filled my soul. Later my wife and her aged 'mother were brought to know the Lord Jesus as their own personal Saviour."
How lovely to know that the Lord Jesus never turns one away, for we read, "Him that cometh to Me I will in no win cast out." John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).
