The Lost Boy
Once a little boy was lost in the woods. The alarm was sounded; a church meeting broke up; the whole congregation and neighborhood responded. Fishermen abandoned their nets and merchants closed their shops. Plows were left in the field and washing in the tub. Everyone turned out to hunt for the little fellow. There was a feverish haste. The night was dark and harm might befall the little fellow. After hours of search, he was found, and oh, the joy that was felt because of the rescue!
Today that boy is grown. He is lost again! But none seem to care. Mom and Dad are busy with other things. The church does not seem to care. No alarm is sent out. Yet, a far worse fate awaits him now. You see, he is now lost in sin!
Do we really care? Enough to do something?
