Margery Uses the Junior Page M other , what do you do with your K ing ’ s B usiness magazines after you have finished reading them?” asked eight-year-old Margery as she hur ried in from school. “ Couldn’t we give them to our neighbor, Mrs. Brown. You know, Mother, Dorothy doesn’t go to Sunday- school at all. Her mother might read the Junior page and want Dorothy to join the Know Your Bible Club. She would have to read the Gospel of John to become a mem ber, and by reading this Gospel she might believe on the Lord Jesus and get saved. Wouldn’t that just be wonderful, Mother?” “ Indeed it would!” agreed Mother en thusiastically. “ Suppose you gather up sev eral copies of T he K ing ’ s B usiness and take them to Mrs. Brown and Dorothy right away.” Margery was soon standing at Mrs. Brown’s front door, her arms full of maga zines. When Mrs. Brown opened the door, Margery began to explain her errand. “ I’ve brought you some of Mother’s K ing ’ s B usiness magazines, Mrs. Brown. I thought you might like to read them— and there’s a page for children, too, that tells how to become a member of the K. Y. B. Club. See, I’m a member,” continued Margery as she proudly pointed to her K. Y. B. C. pin. “ You might like to have Dorothy join, Mrs. Brown. It’s easy to join. All you have to do is to read through the Gospel of John.” “Thank you very much for thinking of us,” replied Mrs. Brown. “We should think more about Christian things. I’ve been talk ing about sending Dorothy to Sunday-school with you sometime.” “Oh, that would be fine,” replied Mar gery. “We should love to take her with us,” and she hurried home to tell Mother all that was said. As the days passed by, Margery joy fully reported to her mother that Dorothy was reading the Gospel of John. And then one day Margery and Dorothy both came in to see Margery’s mother. “ She’s finished, Mother!” exclaimed Margery. “ She’s read through the whole Gospel of John I” “Yes, I have, Mrs. Fenn,” burst out Dorothy, “ and my mother wants to know
whether you will write in and get me a pin like Margery’s.” “ Indeed, I will,” replied Margery’s mother, “ but suppose we all sit down and have a little visit first. Do you remember what you read about in the Gospel of John?” “ Oh, yes, about Jesus,” promptly an swered Dorothy.
Today Dorothy is wearing the K. Y. B. C. pin, and she goes with Margery each Sunday to Sunday-school. Both girls to gether read the Junior page in T he K ing ’ s B usiness , and Mrs. Brown has begun to ask Mrs. Fenn many questions about the Bible. Margery and her mother and Doro thy are all praying for Dorothy’s mother, and they are trusting that very soon she, too, will be saved.—M. S. H.

“And did you know that the Lord Jesus loves you, Dorothy,- and that He died for you upon the cross of Calvary?” continued Margery’s mother as she told the two girls the story of Jesus and His love. And as she finished, she turned to Dorothy and- said, “Wouldn’t you like to accept the wonderful One as your Saviour, Dorothy?” “But I don’t know how,” replied Dorothy with^real earnestness in her face and voice. “ Come, I will show you the way,” an swered Margery’s mother as she drew Dorothy a bit closer and, opening her Bible to John 3:16, ‘began reading that precious verse. 1“ Now ybu- read it, too, Dorothy,” suggested Mrs. Fenn, and Doro thy read: ‘,‘For God so loved the world . . “Let us stop here for a moment,” inter rupted Margery’s mother. “How many peo ple are meant by the word ‘world,’ Doro thy ?” “Oh, everybody,” answered Dorothy. “ And does that include you and me?” “ Oh, yes,” she replied quickly. , “Then you could put your own name in the verse instead of ‘world,’ couldn’t you?” continued Mrs. Fenn. “ Suppose you do.” And Dorothy read: “For God so loved Dorothy that he gave his only begotten Son.” Again Mother reminded the girls of the story of the Lord Jesus whom God gave to die on the cross for sinners; and this time as she heard the story, Dorothy truly believed that the Lord Jesus had died for her. Then as the rest of the verse was read, Dorothy gladly substituted her own name and read: . . that Dorothy Brown who believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life.” “What do you have now?” Mrs. Fenn asked as Dorothy finished reading the verse. ■»Margery sat near by, anxious to give the answer if Dorothy should fail. But Dorothy did not fail. She promptly replied, “ I have everlasting life.” “According to God’s own precious Word, you are now His child, Dorothy, since you have received the Lord Jesus as your Sav iour. Wouldn’t you like to thank Him for dying for you?” “ That’s what I did,” chimed in Margery, who had been listening quietly. “Yes, I would,” agreed Dorothy, and to gether the three knelt, and each in turn voiced her thanksgiving to God the heavenly Father who had given His best gift for Dorothy.
