AN EVANGELIST was holding some special gospel meetings in a school house, and on this particular night those under fifteen were not admitted unless accompanied by their parents.
When the evangelist arrived two boys were standing outside. One of them said, “Mr. Wilson, I’m fifteen, but Arthur here is only fourteen. Can I act as his parent and take him in with me?”
Those two dear boys had pressed faith in Christ some time before. Today, as young fellows, they are bright happy Christians, actively engaged in gospel and Sunday School work.
We want the young for Jesus,
Be this our best employ;
No mission could be nobler,
Or filled with sweeter joy.
