COMING along the country road a quiet evening, I heard the sound of singing borne on the breeze. As it came nearer I recognized the tune, and soon the words of the familiar gospel song:
“Saved by grace alone,
This is all my plea,
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.”
Two horses soon came into view, on the backs of which sat happy farm boys, pouring forth a tribute of praise to the great Redeemer’s grace.
“You seem happy, lads,” I said, as they passed by.
“Yes, sir, we are,” was the quick reply.
“Is it because you are really saved by grace?”
“It is; but only a week ago, at the meetings in the tent.”
Up at the village a bright gospel tent was pitched, and under its roof the happy boys had heard and believed “the old, old story of Jesus and His love.” Had they not good cause to be happy? Yes, indeed. Are you saved and happy?
