Coming along the country road on a quiet evening, I heard the sound of singing borne on the breeze. As it came near, I recognized the tune, and soon the words of the familiar gospel song:
“Saved by grace alone,
This is all my plea,
Jesus died for all mankind,
And Jesus died for me.”
Two happy farm boys on horseback came into view, each pouring forth a tribute of praise to the great Redeemer’s grace.
“You seem happy, boys,” I said as they passed by.
“Yes sir, we are,” was the quick response.
“Is it because you’re really saved by grace?”
“It is, but only a week ago, at the tent meetings.”
Up at the village a bright gospel tent was pitched, and under its roof the happy boys had heard and believed “the old old story of Jesus and His love.” Had they not good cause to be happy? Yes, indeed. Are you saved and happy?
