Mr. X had lived out his four-score years, and was still without Christ. He had a praying daughter. Tenderly had she sought to lead her aged parent into the paths of peace, but finding her efforts fruitless, she asked a Christian friend to unite with her in praying for his soul. This earnest man was given the promise from Mr. X. that he would read the Bible straight through.
His loving daughter watched him from day to day as he continued to read. No word was spoken till a considerable time had elapsed, and he had come to the last chapter of Revelation. Imagine her joy, when, on her father, closing the book, he said with emphasis:
“Yes! there is a God; and Jesus Christ is His Son; and He died for me!”
Take courage, praying friends, and bring your loved ones before the Lord. Seek, too, to bring them in contact with His own Word. The sword of the Spirit has penetrated many hearts as hard as his about whom I write. Remember, too, that we have a God of love to count upon.
