BESSIE D—, one of our Sunday school scholars, was brought along by another scholar whose example ought to be followed by children world-wide. When the woman at the well found Christ, she went into the city and said to the people;
After Bessie had listened for some months to her teacher telling about the “Friend for little children,” she opened the door of her heart for that Friend to enter in. Shortly afterwards her class had to compose an article entitled, “Saved,” and she, from her own experience, wrote thus:
“It is a grand thing to be saved. I have accepted the Lord as my personal Saviour, You never realize how grand it is until you accept Him. At first, before I accepted Him, I thought it would be the same as if you hadn’t been saved, but I made a big mistake, for you are brighter and happier. I cannot say how glad I am, and I suppose others that are saved are the same. I hope many others will accept Him.”
If the boys and girls who read this do as she hopes in her last sentence, this happiness and brightness will be theirs also. It matters not who the children are, they need Bessie’s Saviour before they can be “saved.”
Accept the Lord Jesus as your own Saviour, and you will be saved at this moment, and saved “forever.”
