“Hallo, little man, what’s the matter with you?” cried a stranger, as he saw a poor, barefooted little fellow crying pitifully.
“I’m hungry and cold!” was the sobbing answer.
“Do you believe that God cares for you?” asked the stranger.
“Yes,” was the quick reply.
“Then why doesn’t He tell someone to give you some fresh clothes and a good meal?”
The reply was unexpected.
“I expect He has told someone, only somebody has forgotten.”
How often we forget our duties to those less fortunate than ourselves. How often we neglect the chance of bringing cheer into some other’s heart. Let us remember that it is our duty to help all who are in trouble and distress, for God demands this of all who would truly serve Him. — From the “Colporteurs’ Messenger.”
Reader! Have you forgotten your duty to the dear soldiers and sailors? Has God told you to send help to get them Testaments, and have you forgotten? Remember for five shillings we can send a parcel to the Front, and for thirty shillings we can send a Testament post free to, one hundred soldiers.
I am doubly anxious now, as the War is assuming an aggressive character, to help give every soldier a Testament. The Word of God alone can answer the fearful blasphemy that is being preached, that death in battle saves the soul. Help us all you can for Christ’s sake. Pray for me, and for all my helpers.
HEYMAN WREFORD.
