stage wasn’t due for at least another hour. By the time it did come Charlie was pretty much recovered from his horrible experience. And on the way to Cheyenne I learned all about Charlie, why he came to the ranch and why he had been so sad and depressed. He told me how my life had been a sermon, just the kind he needed. All those times I played with the Wiley children and was so thoughtful of them, I was really preaching to him in a way he needed it most. All this, of course, made me feel good, but I was especially thrilled when he told me how he went up to my hunk and borrowed my Bible which I kept on a little shelf. And how by reading the Christmas story and then reading on and on, he came to believe in Jesus as his own personal Saviour. “ But why did you leave in the middle of the night?” I asked. “ Because I was ashamed to have anyone at the ranch learn the truth about me and find out what a chump I had been to leave my fam ily and all,” he answered humbly. When we reached Cheyenne that night, there was no train for Ogden until the next afternoon. So we Spent the night together and then in the morning we went shopping. He bought things for his wife and chil dren and I bought things for Mel ody and Happy. I don’t think I ever saw a man get such a thrill out of buying things. I went with him to the train sta tion and waited with him until the Westbound Special pulled in. “ This is going to be the greatest Christmas I or anybody ever had,” he said. Then he looked at me, his eyes filled with a light of gratitude and added, “ Thanks to you, Leonard.” “Well, I’m sure glad, real glad. But, Charlie, don’t ever forget that the thanks belongs to our heavenly Father and to the Lord Jesus Christ. Without them, there’d be no Christ mas for you or me or anyone else.” The last time I saw Charlie he was looking out of the train win dow, waving goodby at me. He was on his way home! And there you have it, boys and girls. Once again it is time for me to wave goodby to you as Deerfoot and I take off. And don’t forget, don’t ever forget, to be good, just real good until we meet again! END.
