Winning and Bringing

A Christian lady was pleading with a poor, sinful girl, who had gone far away from her mother's God, to come to Jesus for pardon and peace. Suddenly the girl turned upon her.
“Have you been to him?” she asked.
“Yes, indeed, I have,” was the reply.
“And has he given you rest?”
“He has. O, thank God, he has! He is my Saviour and Friend.”
“Then put your arms about me, and try to take me with you to him,” murmured the girl. “It would be easier to go with one who has been before.”
It was the secret of success. Many who will resent an attempt to draw them out of evil courses will be won by that “touch of nature which makes the whole world kin.” Let it be rather, “Come thou with us, and we will do thee good.” Another girl was rescued as she exclaimed, “I don't care what becomes of me!” by the loving words of a stranger, who overheard and understood, “But I do.”
It will be well to remember that Christ himself is “touched with the feeling of our infirmities,”—the word used in the original meaning sympathy.—Christian Work.
