Start Again
--by Hy. Pickering/1,000 Tales Worth Telling
"Therefore, my beloved brethren (brothers and sisters in Christ), be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of The LORD, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in The LORD.
1 Corinthians 15:58
A Christian man was giving away Gospel tracts on board a steamer. A gentleman who accepted one in a gracious way, said, "I have not much faith in that kind of work." Said the Christian, "It was through a Gospel tract given to me in Glasgow twenty years ago that I was converted." The gentleman showed considerable interest , and asked for particulars. On hearing the young man's story about the tract, the gentleman said, "I am the one who gave you the tract. For years I ceaselessly distributed tracts but I saw so little result form my efforts that years ago I ceased scattering them. But by the grace of God I shall start again."
(Treasury of Gospel Gems, 1944)
