A woman
had often been urged by Christians to receive the Lord. In spite of their
persistent efforts, she continued to harden her heart. One day she threw into
the blazing fireplace a Bible and several tracts someone had given her. One
of the leaflets fell out of the flames, so she cast it in again. A second
time it slipped down, and once more she put it back. Again her evil
intentions were frustrated. The third time, however, part of it became
scorched. That night when the fire had died down, she picked up the portion
that remained and exclaimed, "Surely the devil must be in that paper,
for it will not burn!" Out of curiosity she began to read the partially
destroyed tract. Being a message on salvation, it brought deep conviction to
her heart. Finally, through that half-charred leaflet she was led to Christ! |
