A son of one of the chiefs of Burdwain was converted by a single tract. He could not read, but he went to Rangoon, a distance of 250 miles; a missionary’s wife taught him to read, and he soon could read the tract through.
He took a basket full of tracts, and with much difficulty, preached the gospel at his own home, and was the means of bringing hundreds of people to the Lord Jesus Christ, to accept Him as their own Saviour, He was a man of influence, the people flocked to hear him; and in one year, 1500 natives were baptized. And all this through one little tract!
That tract cost one cent, O, whose cent was it? God alone knows. Perhaps it was the mite of some little girl; or perhaps it was the well-earned offering of some young boy. Yet, what a great blessing it was.
Now, dear reader, will you not make an effort to buy some good, gospel tracts, and send them out in one way or another? You may thus be used of the Lord to bring one or more dear people, young or old, to the Saviour. What precious Seed it was to sow, to bring forth fruit to God.
“In the morning sow thy Seed, and in the evening withhold thine hand: for thou knowest not which shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.” Eccles.11:6.
