Tom came to some of our gospel services not long ago. One night Tom stopped behind to the “after meeting,” and found Christ. When he went home he did not run into the parlor and tell his dear mother, but went upstairs in the dark without any supper and went to bed.
About eleven o’clock, when his father and mother went up to bed, the lady said to her husband, “I will just look in Tom’s room and see if he is comfortable.” So she crept in softly not to wake him, and he looked very happy in his sleep, but she noticed by the candlight that his lips were moving, and she heard him whisper, “I am so glad that it is settled”; then a pause like snoring — “Jesus has taken all my sins away” — another pause — “I am washed in the blood of the Lamb.”
When Tom ran down to breakfast in the morning, his mother told him what he had said in his sleep.
Sinner, heed the warning voice;
Make the Lord your happy choice,
Then all heaven will rejoice;
Be in time!
Come from darkness into light,
From the way that seemeth right;
Come and start for heaven tonight;
Be in time.
