232 An Interesting Experience Belated
thought it would cost a very large price, and when I told her then
that the price of a large Bible was only one dollar she quickly
brought me the money, and asked: "But are we allowed to read this
book?" I told her that some people forbade reading it, but I repea+ed
to her the words, "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that under
stand the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are
written therein," and told her how our Saviour commanded, "Search
the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are
they which testify of me"; and I repeated the charge to Joshua,
"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou
Shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein, for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." Then
the sick girl said, "Never mind, mother, we must have this book, and
no one will be able to take it away from us."
The Good Seed in Good Ground
The father and mother agreed with her, so they kept the Bible, and
also a Testament in large type, in order that I could read to them
whenever I called. The sick girl gave me several addresses of her
friends, upon whom she wanted me to call in order to sell some
books to them. She even said that if she should get well again she
wanted to go with me to sell these books. Her desire was to read
this wonderful Book, and she would pray continually without a
prayer-book. She would trust God that He would lead her according
to His will.
I continued visiting this young woman for about two weeks, and
each time the mother would tell me how the daughter could hardly
wait for me to come. Finally, when I came to see her for the last
time, I sang to her one stanza of the hymn, "Oh, Think of the Home
Over There." She liked it so much that I had to sing it for her
over and over again. I cannot describe how happy she felt. Her
mother, too, was very thankful for that hymn, for she said, "This
song is- worth more to us than money." When I came again to see
her and had brought some beautiful flowers which were given me
for her by one of our Chicago Tract Society officers, I learned that
she had passed away to the enjoyment of the "home over there" of
which we had been singing.
