But he couldn't tell me where his home was, and I did not know. I put
him down on the path again, when the dog was out of sight, hoping he
would trot in the right direction. I asked several people if they
knew him. No one did. I walked up one road with him and then another;
and was afraid I would have to take him to the Police Station, when
suddenly a young woman met us. She had come from his home, and was
looking everywhere for him. I gave him into her charge, and he went
away quite happily. I had tried to help him, but I was unable to do so.
I could only hand him over to the one who knew the way.
The Lord Jesus Christ is always looking for boys and girls. They may
ask grown up people, teachers, and preachers to help them, but they
cannot take them to Heaven, they can only hand them over, as I did, to
the One who is looking for them.
Jesus Christ is close to you. He came down to this world to be the Door
from earth to Heaven. He died to open that Door wide to every one who
comes to Him and trusts Him.
Will you come to Him to-day just as you are, and ask Him to take you by
the hand and never leave go of you till you have arrived inside Heaven?
He will do it. He has said: "Those that seek Me early shall find Me." "No
man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."

The Lord Jesus Christ is the only Way to Heaven.
Have you ever read the "Pilgrim's Progress?" Do you remember how safe
Christiana and her children were when they had Mr. Greatheart walking
in front of them to defend them from all dangers, and keep them in the
right path to the Golden City?
I always felt so sorry for Christian because he had no Mr. Greatheart.
We all have our Mr. Greatheart. It is the Lord Jesus Himself. He goes
before us and leads us by the hand. It will be easy walking with Him.
We shall be happy and safe. Oh, dear boys and girls, do come to Him;
do take Him for your Mr. Greatheart. Do trust yourselves body and soul
into His loving keeping.
Then you may be sure that you have found the Way to Heaven, and are
walking in it.
