The Morning Watch Calendar
By Jennie R. Bates
A COPY of the Morning Watch Calendar was several years ago given to a little girl who seemed interested in some I was mailing out; and while I was near, she would come each morning to read the text with me. Some weeks later her mother told me that the child said to her, “Mama, the Bible doesn’t open as quick for you as it does for auntie.” Then I knew that the texts had been read daily. I had longed to help the mother, who had been kind to me in many ways, but who had not allowed any one to speak to her on the matter of personal religion. A copy of “Steps to Christ” was sent her on her birthday, and word came that it made things plainer than anything she had read. Some conversation on these good things led at last to our kneeling in prayer together; and when we arose, she said, “It is the first time I have knelt since a child.” A new Bible was purchased and used through the first year, also “Christ’s Object Lessons” and some of our good papers. To-day that mother loves the Lord, and finds comfort in prayer and the blessed Bible, while the little girl keeps her busy with questions, and enjoys Our Little Friend. The opening wedge was a little Morning Watch Calendar. Have you sent any of these booklets out this year? Jesus will surely bless the seed thus sown.
