Mrs. Jackson was the wife of prominent lawyer. For some days she had been under deep searching of soul, but then the light of Go shone into her darkened heart, showed her how great was her sin; and need of salvation, showed her too how that Christ had died to put that sin away. To some Christian friends she told the account of her conversion.
“Last evening my little girl came to me and asked: ‘Mommie, are you a Christian?’ ‘No, Fannie, I am not,'; I replied reluctantly.
“She turned and went away, and as she walked off I heard her say, ‘Well, if Mommie isn’t a Christian, I don’t want to be one.’
“And I tell you, my dear friends, it went right to my heart. I couldn’t rest until I had given myself up to the Lord Jesus.”
Father or mother, will you delay your decision for Christ when you know that some little boy or girl is following your footsteps leading down the broad road to destruction instead of on the narrow way to life and peace? Oh turn to the Saviour now; “and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.” Heb. 12:13.
