YOUNG HARRY was going away to school. His parents had boarded the train with him and after kissing him good-bye they left him. He had never been in a sleeping car before, but when he saw other passengers push a button and then ask the porter to make their beds, he did the same. So the porter made up his bed.
Sitting on the edge of his bed Harry opened his suitcase, took out his Bible and began to read. Many were watching the little fellow, and his face was rather flushed, but he was not ashamed. Then he knelt down beside his bed and prayed just like he always did at home. Finally he drew the curtains together, got into bed and settled down for the night.
Among those watching little Harry was an evangelist and two businessmen. One of the men said to the preacher, "It's been a long time since I saw anything like that. Mother used to kneel by her bed and pray." Then he added, "How can I get right with God?"
The three men talked together quietly and earnestly for some time, while the train rolled on in the darkness. That night the evangelist led those two businessmen to Christ. They had both been deeply touched when they saw the little boy kneel in prayer on the train.
Dear young friends, boys and girls who love the Saviour can shine for Him in the darkness of this world. Has He not told us, "Ye are the light of the world. . . . Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"? Matt. 5:14,1614Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (Matthew 5:14)
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16).
