Value of a Single Religious Paper
DR. EDWARD JUDSON, son of the great missionary, relates a curious coincidence. "A clergyman in England met an innkeeper's wife who had been led to serious thought upon her spiritual condition, and finally to become an ardent and consistent Christian, by reading a paper containing an extract from a sermon by Mr. Spurgeon. This paper was printed in America; had been sent thence to Australia; there, wrapped around a package, it was sent to England, where, by its contents, it reached a soul." To show that such blessed results might occur anywhere, he says: "When I was a pastor I gave a tract to a little boy. It was Todd's 'How a Child May Come to Jesus.' A few years afterward I met the father of the boy, who told me that his child had been converted. He had kept the little tract I gave him, read it, and carried it in his pocket until it was worn out. It had led him to Jesus."—Christian Advocate.
