A Christian farmer had arranged the kitchen of his house for gospel preaching. One evening the hearers were astonished to see among them a woman whom no one would have expected to see there. She was notorious through her wicked life, and more than one person said;
"What could have brought her here?”
Ah! They little thought of Him who came to seek and to save that which was lost, and who had that night drawn thither a poor wandering sheep that she might hear the words of life.
However, Caroline came regularly to the gospel meetings, while no one knew what was passing in her soul.
A little later it was noticed that she had ceased coming.
"She soon got enough of it," some thought, while others said:
"The Word was too clear for the conscience of one so bad.”
Some time passed, when the farmer received a message saying that Caroline was very ill, and wanted to see him. He went at once to her. They told her that M. D. was there. Opening her eyes, she said: "I am very thankful that you have come. I have wanted to see you. I am going away home.”
"Going away! where are you going?" asked M. D.
"To heaven," she replied.
"But how can such a sinner as you, be in such a holy place as heaven?" asked the farmer.
She turned towards him, and said: "I am a sinner; but there is the precious blood," and she passed away from this world to be with Him who receiveth sinners.
Simple and precious testimony, expressing repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ! Like David, long before, this sinner confessed; "I have sinned;" and the grace of God responded as it did to him; "The Lord also hath put away thy sin." Reader, listen to the word of God, "For there is no difference: for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
