What a Christian Hymn Did

A RICH Japanese silk merchant sent for the missionaries in his town, and entertained them most hospitably. He told how, as a child, he had attended a Sabbath-school. “Very often,” he said, “right in the midst of my business the words of the hymn ‘Jesus loves me, this I know,’ come to me, and, try as I may, I can’t get them out of my mind.” He then repeated the hymn from beginning to end, and added: “Though I’ve lived my life without religion, I feel that it is the most important thing there is, and I want my little girl to be a Christian; and it is for that purpose,” he added, emphatically, “that I have placed her in the mission school, that she may become a Christian.”—Missionary Review of the World.
