A tiny baby was found in a basket on a doorstep. They carried her to the local hospital and the nurses all fell in love with the little thing. They took her to their home and called her Mary Lost.
The nurses taught her about Jesus who loves and died for little boys and girls. While still a little child Mary opened her heart to the Saviour and became a Christian. She was a “new creature in Christ Jesus.”
After that Mary went on her own to the superintendent of the nurses’ home and told her she didn’t want to be called Mary Lost any more. “Jesus has found me,” she said, “and now I want to be called Mary Found.” And so she was from then on.
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it. And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.” Luke 15:4-64What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. (Luke 15:4‑6).
