“I HEAR a bell ringing,” said Mrs. Blake to her husband. “Where is the sound coming from?”
“Oh, I know. Tom told me all about it today. He’s got a new idea. When he gets the milking done, he’s going to ring that bell outside the barn to tell us he’s ready for supper.”
“That will be fun,” said Mrs. Blake smiling. “Then all of us will hear Tom’s chimes. He is always on time too so we can almost set our clock by his bell.”
“Trying different bells and sounds is one of Tom’s hobbies,” said Brad. Then he added thoughtfully, “Mother, Tom told me something else today. He told me the story of Jesus.”
Tom told many of his friends about his best Friend, the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as his bell rang out a message, so his voice told out his joy in knowing the Lord Jesus as his Saviour.
Tom had told his father of how the Lord Jesus was nailed to the cross and of how He died to put our sins away. His father believed Tom’s message. So ardent was Tom’s love for his Saviour, that he desired to see Him soon.
The Lord granted him this request for while he was still a young fellow, He took him out of this world to be with Himself forever.
