You Can Do Something for Christ.

Here is practical gem from DR.. Torrey He said:
Some years ago woman who had family of young
children had been reading the life of Frances Willard
and was greatly stirred by reading that life. She
came to me one day, and said, & wish 1 could do
something for Christ L said You cam No she
said, L can't; my duty is with my family. L re-
piled, of course it is but you do something for
Christ; you can bring your children to him; you
can bring your servants to Christ you can bring the
shop-keepers you deal with Christ
And L watched that woman Every child in her
family was converted in early childhood one of them
is now studying for the ministry two of them expect
to go as foreign missionaries of them was called
to the other world at nine years of age. The morn
ing the little child of nine died she told that
nurse was coming to nurse her. and she said to her
mother: L wonder if the is a Christian; if she
isn't we must lead her to Christ. Every servant
that came into that home was spoken TO about her
soul when the butcher came with the meat he was
spoken to about his SOUL when the grocer with
his groceries he spoken to about his soul when
ever she went out shopping to buy CLOTH or bonnet
or anything else the clerks with whom she dealt were
spoken to about their sous.'

which, if known to you would make you treat him
with great consideration. There a time when
he was not a preacher when he living an almost
purely secular life, doing little as you are now
for the salvation of men. But he began to feel i'm
pressions OF duty, to hear voice directing him to
preach the gospel to perishng men.
He obeyed the call in the face of discouragements
Ridicule opposition, unlnd treatment at the hands
of those for whom he labored have not turned him
from his course, and in the providence of God lie
comes to you to teach you remind you the great
est truth it is given to mortas to know-truth so
great that even the angels stand in awe before it.
Take care how you treat man that comes to YOU
on such mission. He is a messenger of God, and
God is looking. Welcome him, and thank God for
the message he sends, however imperfectly it may
expressed.
