" We
will work until Jesus comes, and then we will rise with Him.
The Faithful Aged Woman.
An old woman who was seventy-five years old had a Sabbath-school two
miles away among the mountains. One Sunday there came a terrible storm
of rain, and she thought at first she would not go that day, but then
she thought, "What if some one should go and not find me there?" Then
she put on her waterproof, and took her umbrella and overshoes, and away
she went through the storm, two miles away, to the Sabbath-school in the
mountains. When she got there she found one solitary young man, and
taught him the best she knew how all the afternoon. She never saw him
again, and I don't know but the old woman thought her Sabbath-school had
been a failure. That week the young man enlisted in the army, and in a
year or two after the old woman got a letter from the soldier thanking
her for going through the storm that Sunday. This young man thought that
stormy day he would just go and see if the old woman was in earnest, and
if she cared enough about souls to go through the rain. He found she
came and taught him as carefully as if she was teaching the whole
school, and God made that the occasion of winning the young man to
Christ.
