In a little Gospel Room in Nanchang-fu the Gospel is preached to the Chinese in their own language, and the needs of the sick are attended to likewise.
A young woman from the country came one evening, and after having an abscess from which she suffered attended to, desired to stay over night. This is most unusual, as the natives are generally afraid of foreigners at first.
The second evening she attended the prayer meeting in the lady missionary’s home, and to the astonishment of all, she knelt down in the center of the circle and repeated over fifteen times the words, “Thanks be to God’s grace for taking away my sins.”
She had only heard the Gospel three times, but she knew her need of it, and welcomed it to her heart.
Reader, have you, like this heathen girl, discovered that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour?
You are, as surely as she was, for God’s Word declares,
And it also tells that Christ “gave Him, self a ransom for all,” (1 Tim. 2:66Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (1 Timothy 2:6)), for, YOU, as surely as for her.
Have you personally put in your claim, and said “for ME?”
