our way--and they
will--remember that there is always a light in God's window for the
faithful, a light that will guide them safely home at last. Remember
also that He has said, 'Be thou faithful unto death.'"

When the farmer bade John adieu, the sun had disappeared beyond the
horizon and the crimson shades were gathering in the western sky. The
landscape that stretched before him was beautiful. And while John was
not unconscious of these beautiful surroundings, by his inner vision,
which could not be limited by the vast prairie country with its varied
possibilities, he looked upon another scene far beyond--he saw the
heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, once beheld by the sainted John;
and he wondered what could be more grand and majestic.

John had at last developed into a noble-hearted Christian, whose
greatest desire in life was to please his God, and to spend his time
wholly in God's service; and one day a few years later he stood on the
deck of a large Atlantic steamer and waved farewell to his friends on
the shore. He was bound for a far-distant land; God was sending him
as a missionary to carry the gospel to the people of another country.

His large brown eyes, sorrowful no longer, were dimmed by tears of
farewell; but the tears only made them shine the brighter. They
witnessed to the gladness of his heart; and to the eagerness within
his bosom pushing him forward.

John had at last become a man after God's own heart.
