For twenty years Sabha Tschand carried on the work of an evangelist, and went through the whole North-West of India with the glad tidings, with this message— “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
His son Serup Sing was also a faithful preacher. To him he once said that when he died, he wished to be buried under the fig-tree where he had first learned to know the Lord, and later on had placed his hut.
In December 1880 he returned to Rona, and testified there for Christ for the last time. To his son, who was just then on his way to preach in Turhoet, he wrote that he was lying in bed stiff and scarcely able to breathe. He wished Serup Sing to come and bury him, as his other unbelieving sons would probably, according to heathen custom, have him burned. Serup Sing hurried at once to Rona, but found that his father was already buried. On the 21St of December 1880 he had fallen asleep, and before the end, he had spoken so joyfully of Jesus his Saviour, to whom he was going, that all his sobs believed in the same Saviour and were baptized. (Acts 8).
Yes, beloved reader, in the same Saviour, for the Lord Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” John 14:6. Salvation is in no other, “for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12.
Serup Sing remained in Rona, and we may believe that from the twenty years sowing the seed with tears, of his faithful father, a rich harvest has grown. How many through his preaching in the streets and suburbs of Delhi have been brought to the Saviour of sinners, will only be revealed at the coming of Christ. Yes, truly, God desires to have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
