MARY, who was thirteen years old, was converted at Sunday School, and sought to please the One who had saved her. One day shortly after this her teacher called to see Mary’s parents.
“Well,” said Mary’s mother, who was not a Christian, “I don’t know what has happened to Mary, but I must say there is a very great change in her. Whatever I tell her to do she does at once, without a word. I wish you could make all my children so.”
Another girl, who was the maid in a certain home, was converted and rejoiced greatly in her newfound Saviour.
“What difference does it make in your life now that you are saved?” she was asked.
“Oh, I sweep under the mat now,” she replied.
Yes, children, knowing Jesus as our Saviour should make a great difference in our walk and ways; for now we have One to please whose eyes are always upon us and who has done so much for us and loves us so dearly, that to do all things to please Him should be our greatest joy.
“ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY: Isa. 53:6.
LIKE a little wandering lamb,
Lost upon the hills I am;
Like a shepherd Jesus stands,
Holding out His blessed hands.
“Come,” He says, “Come back to Me;
Little lamb I died for thee;
I will take thee to My home,
Little lamb, I pray thee, come.
