HAVE you ever heard the Gospel?” a missionary asked a Chinaman.
“No,” was the reply, “but I have seen it. I know a man who was the terror of the whole district. He was at times as fierce as a wild animal, and was also an opium-smoker. When he accepted the Jesus’ religion, he became quite changed. Now he is meek, and is no longer wicked, and has given up opium-smoking. I can see by that that the Gospel and the service for Jesus are good.”
Someone has said: “Lamps do not talk, but they illuminate. Light-houses make no noise, but they give light.”
Thus must the walk of a Christian be a living sermon. Actions speak louder than words.
