“His Forgiveness Won Him”

In the home of Dr.Goheen, a missionary in India, a native was dusting the furniture and carelessly upset a beautiful vase, which fell to the floor, breaking in many pieces. The frightened native dropped on his knees before Dr. Doheen, begging for mercy.

The doctor smiled and said, “Never mind; I forgive you.”

The astonished servant looked for a moment upon the quiet face of the Christian man, where there was not the slightest trace of anger; then leaping to his feet he cried, “I believe! I believe!”

He then told how, as a servant in the home, he had been gradually coming to know Christ through the doctor, and now his readiness to forgive had won him completely to the Master. --Christian Work
