“ ‘That’s right, Harry,’ I assured him. ‘God does love you. Now read on and see how much He loves you.’ “ Slowly and deliberately he read the next part, lest he should miss a single word — ‘that he gave his only begotten Son.’ “ ‘Gave Him to die for you upon the cross of Calvary,’ I added. ‘He had to die for your sins, Harry.’ “Harry waited a moment before reading the rest of the verse. It seemed very wonderful to him, this fact that Jesus died for him. Then he looked again at the page and read, ‘That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlast ing life.’ “ ‘Whosoever is such a big word,’ I commented. ‘It means any one in the whole world, and it includes you. According to the rest of this verse, if you believe that Jesus died for you, you shall not perish, or be lost, but right now you may have everlasting life. Do you believe that Jesus died for you, a sinner, Harry?’ I asked, watching his face eagerly. “ ‘Yes, I do,’ his answer was clear and without hesitation. “ ‘Then according to this verse, which is God’s own Word, what do you have?’ I asked as I placed the verse before his eyes again. “ ‘Everlasting life.’ His reply was full of faith and came with a real joy- “ ‘Indeed you have,’ I replied, ‘and you have it now, according to God’s own statement. God has written your name in His Book of Life, has washed away all your sins and has given you this wonderful new life. Some day you are to live with Him in a beautiful home. He has gone to pre pare for you. Wouldn’t you like to say ‘thank you’ to One who has done so much for you?’ I asked. When he nodded, we both bowed our heads and Harry prayed, ‘Father, I thank Thee for Jesus my Saviour.’ “Now this story happened five years ago, but during all these years, Har ry has been growing in this wonder ful Christian life. You will find him every Sunday in Sunday School, read ing a Bible of his very own, one which he bought with his own mon- ey. He has often told me, too, that the dearest spot in this whole town to him is that street comer where he found the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour.” I hope we can meet Harry while we’re here,” Bob exclaimed, as Aunt Phoebe finished. “Wouldn’t it be fun for each of us to tell about the day we were saved? My story wouldn’t be like Harry’s exactly, but 1 think it’s even better.”
