little one’s reply.
“Pray tell me, Nellie, what you were thinking about?”
“I was remembering what my teacher said last Sunday. She told us that if
we brought sinners to Jesus by our influence, we should win stars for our
crown in heaven; and when I saw those stars in your crown, I wished I
could save some soul.”
These simple words that Nellie spoke took a strong hold of her sister’s
feelings. She went to the ball that night, but felt little interest in
it. She had no heart for the music or the dancing, and was truly glad
when all was over.
On reaching home she went to Nellie’s room. There she lay, sleeping
sweetly. She stooped and kissed her loving lips; and then, kneeling
down by the side of her bed, she asked God to forgive her for the giddy,
careless life she had been living. She gave herself to Jesus then and
there, and prayed for grace to live henceforth for him and for heaven.
Then she kissed Nellie again and said, “Precious darling, you have won
one star for your crown!” God help us all to win many stars for our
crowns!
Thus we have taken a hasty view of this great apostle. We have seen that
he was great in his natural talents; great in his opportunities; great in
his prejudices; great in his conversion; great in his privileges; great
in his labors; great in his sufferings; great in his influence; and great
in his reward.
And now this work is done. I thank God, with all my heart, for permitting
me to engage in it, and for helping me to get through with it. It humbles
me in the dust to think how utterly unworthy it is of the glorious
Saviour to whom it refers. But I know he is pleased to work by feeble
means. He puts the treasure of the gospel in earthen vessels, on purpose
that “the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” My
earnest prayer is that he will graciously accept it as a tribute of
grateful love from one of the least and most unworthy of his followers;
that he will pardon all the mistakes and imperfections connected with it;
and bless it, notwithstanding, and make it useful. And if it shall prove
helpful to Christian parents and teachers in training their children for
Jesus; and if the young who read these pages shall find anything here to
aid and encourage them in trying to know and love and serve the blessed
Saviour, I shall feel that the time and labor spent upon this work have
not been in vain! AMEN!
