A telegraph clerk had been aroused to a sense of his lost condition and was very anxious to be saved. He could find no peace, comfort or rest, although he sought it one Sunday by listening attentively to three preachers. He went home to his room greatly distressed. How could he be saved? Knowing his sins were unforgiven, he had little sleep that night.
Monday morning he went to his work in a telegraph office at a railway station. Shortly after he arrived his station signal was called. As the message came over the wire, he wrote down the name of the sender and addressee. Then came the message:—
Amazed, he dropped his pencil and again read the telegram. Though it was designed for a young woman who was also troubled about her soul, surely it was God's message to him.
He said afterward, "The words—Lamb of God Redemption—Blood—Riches of His Grace—went right into my poor heart! No one in the whole world could have had greater joy than I that Monday morning." My reader, do you have this peace and joy? May "the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing." Rom. 15:1313Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (Romans 15:13).
