Michael Faraday, one of the great scientists, was a Christian. One day he was lecturing to a large audience in London. When the applause had subsided, the Prince of Wales arose and proposed a motion of appreciation and congratulations to the lecturer. When they looked around for him, they found Mr. Faraday had hastily left the hall after concluding his lecture. His close friends knew that the hour of the weekly prayer meeting had arrived. It was there that Mr. Faraday had gone. Though he possessed one of the greatest intellects in the world, he felt he could not afford to miss the prayer meeting.
Gospel Tracts Children who love the Lord Jesus can distribute tracts and so help spread His fame as the Saviour of sinners.
Someone offered a gospel tract to an old man in a country village. He accepted it readily and said, “You don’t know how much good you may do, in giving away tracts and books.
“For years I led a bad, sad life. One morning while I was dirty, ragged and miserable, I leaned against a wall. I put my hand behind me and found a loose stone in the wall. Looking around I saw a little book pushed into the wall and held by the stone. I took it and found it was a little gospel booklet. Through God’s mercy, that little book was the means of my coming to Jesus, and trusting Him as my Lord and Saviour. That was years ago, but He has never failed nor forsaken me.”
