In a Restaurant.

We who love the Lord do well to be always on the look out to please Him, to do some kindness and help to anyone we see or meet. The Lord gave me one day a message of comfort, and may I also hope, a word of blessing, at a restaurant to which I had entered both hungry and almost fainting with London fatigue. One of the waitresses came by my side simply exhausted with her constant work. She said: “I must try to sit for a few minutes, I am so very weary; with tears in her eyes she again said, “I must rest.” Perhaps she may never forget the sweet and comforting words so apt at that moment, that I repeated to her: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)), She was so grateful to hear those blessed words of the Lord Jesus. She most gratefully expressed herself and shook bands when we parted.
