Mr. Moody
once told me that he was conducting meetings in Scotland, passing
through an inquiry meeting he saw two little girls crying as if their hearts would
break. He stopped long enough to ask them their difficulty, and one of them
replied that she wanted to be a Christian. The great evangelist took his
Bible and, opening it at the fifth chapter of John, the 24th verse, he asked
her if she could receive that, and, with her face brightening, she said she
thought she could and would. The next night, passing through the same room,
he saw the same two girls upon their knees, and one of them crying bitterly.
He was greatly perplexed, and, coming near enough to hear their conversation,
he heard the child of the night before saying to her companion, "I say,
lassie, you do just as I did, grip a promise and hold on to it, and he will
save you, for he saved me." And this is true not only for the Scotch girl,
but for every one who will simply take God's Word and trust Him fully.
