The Bible woman left, not feeling satisfied that this soul was born again. Some weeks passed, and the Bible woman went back to the home to see the girl she was praying for. She was not at home, but in talking with her mother, she found the daughter had told her mother of her decision and that she intended to join the, church, and the mother said, “O, she is a different girl in the ■house!” Thus God , gives us surprises and shows us that the seed sown shall bear fruit.

It was thrust into a pocket and then, at the close of a heavy day’s work, it was found to be from his old home across the sea, and read as follows: “Dear Boy: Your mother has been spending a few days with us and showed me a letter received from you which has delighted us very much.

a very good boy. (Of course, you under stand that you are all boys to me.) May God keep you ever under the shadow of His wing, and don’t neglect to pray that you may be kept very close to Him. Also, read a portion of Scripture daily, for with out these two things you cannot succeed in your Christian life. And always choose Christian men for your companions. All your friends here are so pleased to hear the good news because the time is short and it will not be long until the blessed Lord will come, and we want you to be with us at His coming. Your aunt and mother have gone to church as I am writing this note. I want to say to you, dear boy, be careful. You are in a dangerous business, but God can take care of you no matter where your lot may be cast, if you will only put your trust in Him. He is faithful that hath promised. Drop me a line when it is convenient for you; though absent in the body, we are praying for your welfare
