A Heathen Mother’s Effort
“ABOUT a week ago,” wrote Dr. Russell, of the Soonan (Korea) dispensary, “a woman brought an all but dying man to us, and said, ‘I am not a believer, but this my son is dying, and I hoped that by bringing him here he might believe on Jesus and be saved.’ He lived but two days, but in that time he gave his heart to God, and passed away in peace.” Poor soul! she knew that there was no hope in the heathen worship, and her mother heart longed to have her son in the hands of those who could teach him the light of Christian truth, of which she had heard but the faintest rumor herself. May this mother, too, find the way.
