"......they.... went everywhere preaching the Word" - Acts 8:4

"It was just too good to keep to myself," said a friend to me one day long ago. He had discovered a certain "fishing hole," where the fishing was fantastically good, and he wanted me to enjoy it also. But how loath and slow we are to tell others about the Lord Jesus, which is the best news of all. Truly the joy of salvation is too good to keep to ourselves.

A party of missionaries were sitting at tea one afternoon, when suddenly an ant appeared on the white tablecloth, made its way to one of the tea plates, walked around it, and finding nothing to eat there, made straight for the sugar bowl. After eating some bits of sugar, it went off with a small piece. The party watched it go off the table, down the table leg, along the floor of the room and disappear underneath the door. Not long afterwards, it returned with several of its relations, climbed up the leg of the table, and marched along the top. Led by the first ant, they all entered the sugar bowl. After they had eaten their fill of sugar, they all departed each with a piece of sugar in its mouth. But that was not all -- presently a swarm of ants arrived to partake of the same sweet food. What a great lesson those ants teach us. The one who came first of all, went and told others the "good news"; they, in turn went out and told the glad story to many more. Shall we let the ants put us to shame? Surely not. Like Isaiah, the Demoniac, the Woman of Samaria, and others, we must "go and tell" the glad story of God's redeeming love! - M.R.D.

Tell it again, tell it again, Salvation's story repeat o'er and o'er;

Till none can say of the children of men, Nobody ever has told me before. - M. B. Slade
