WHEN boys and girls have been brought to the Lord, and really trust in Jesus as their Saviour, it is a happy thing if they can help to bring blessing to their young friends.
It is not always easy to speak of Jesus especially to those who have known us in our unconverted days, but there are two ways in which all may help. One is by inviting others to go with us to a Sunday-school or gospel address.
Soon after I knew I was saved I felt a great interest in a young man I had known for some time.
I called on him and told him how I had received blessing, and asked if he would go with me one evening to hear the gospel preached.
He heard what I had to say, but only laughed. However, I called again and again, till at last one day, out of curiosity, he said, “Yes, I’ll come.”
That night a great work went on in his soul and he was saved. I did not know it at the time, but he, told me about it a few days afterwards. O, how glad I was that I had not given up asking him to go.
The other way to help, is to pray for those who are still unsaved. God loves to answer prayer, and He loves to see those who are really His sheep and lambs taking an interest in each other, not because they know each other well, but because they each belong to Jesus.
