"Something Better"

What a joy thrills through an old person’s heart when told of a word spoken in younger days that has been blessed of God to a dear one. So it was with me yesterday, when a niece of mine told me how I had told her of “something better” than what she wanted when she was a young girl. She said to me, “Oh! Auntie dear, I do want to learn to dance,” and I replied, “I can tell you of something better. Get Christ into your heart and you won’t want to learn to dance, for you will dance with spiritual joy and rejoice in knowing Him, your blessed Lord and Master, your Saviour and your Redeemer.” “Yes, indeed,” she said. “I have found it quite true. Christ in me the hope of glory, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.”
