MY dear little children, I am going to tell you about a little boy named Freddie. Two or three days before he was going to start on a long journey, to be away for a long while from his home and all his brothers and sisters, I thought I would have a talk with him, to see if he was afraid of anything happening to him on the journey. So I said to him, “Freddie, suppose the train got blocked on the line by snow (for the snow was very deep where he was going), or an accident should occur, do you know where you would go if you were killed?”
He smiled and said, “Oh, yes.”
Then I said, “Can you tell me where?”
What do you think he said? ―
“To heaven.”
Well, this little boy said he was going to heaven, so I said to him, “How do you know you would go there?”
Then he said, “Because Jesus washed my sins away in His blood.”
Ah, Freddie knew the way to that beautiful place. What was it that Freddie knew? Why, he knew if he came to Jesus, and “believed” on Him, he would be saved, and so he had come.
Dear little children, will you come to Him now, this very minute? Do not wait any longer. Come now, and own to the Lord your deep need of Him. Will you come to Him now, and live forever, always to know the Saviour’s love and compassion? Once more, dear little readers, will you come?
It does not matter how small you are or how weak you are, you may come, for the dear Saviour Himself said, “Suffer the little children to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
