Let Your Light so Shine

MR. B., an avowed infidel, speaking of a Christian lady, said to me, "So Miss S. is dead! Now, she was one of the true salt of the earth—she was a Christian, and, according to her light and belief, so she lived; she believed in Christ, and she lived Christ; she was zealous, loving, charitable—in fact, she was as near as could he to the true ideal of a perfect Christian. I believe she earnestly sought my salvation, according to her belief; and I, knowing her to be what I state, carefully avoided saying anything in her presence which might pain her, and, as I said before, she lived Christ.”
I have written this testimony, word for word, as nearly as I can remember, as it was rendered to me by the infidel! The words in italics being those to which he gave special emphasis. Christian reader, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Let men take knowledge of you that you have been with Jesus. "Ye are the epistle of Christ, known and read of all men." J. M.
