When he was only four months old, -he lost his mother by the plague. She was a good mother, and desired -above all things for her children that they might become the disciples of -Christ. - -Charles, though a pleasant child, needed a new heart, as all children do, -however lovely they may be. While yet young, he was made to feel this. -When he was about seven years old a child of a mission family died. This -led him to think of death. A sermon which he now heard made him pray -very much for his sins to be forgiven. The Holy Spirit was striving with -him. He soon yielded to His power, and put his trust in the Saviour. He -now entered upon a new life. Prayer was his delight. The Bible was a -precious book. He aimed to do right and to make everybody happy. - -Charles’s companions could not help loving him, for he was always kind in -his ways. Some of these, like himself, were pious youths. They never came -together to spend any time in each other’s society without praying before -they parted. As one of these loved friends was about to leave on one -occasion, Charles said, “Let us not part till we have prayed together;” -so they went into a room by themselves, and he read a chapter in the -Bible, and they knelt down and prayed. - -That very night—it was Saturday, February 5th, 1853—he was seized with a -headache. The most skilful aid was called in, but it could not help him. -His pains at times were very great, but he never lost his patience, nor -his sweet hope in God. A part of the time his mind wandered, and then -he kept talking, now in English, now in Greek, now in French, now in -Turkish,—but it was about Christ and his cause. Once, when a dear friend -who was siting by him asked him if he felt ready for whatever might be -the result of his sickness, he said, “My head is in such pain that I -cannot collect my thoughts; but sometimes I am able to do so, and then -my mind is in perfect peace. But if I had not been led to make my peace -with God before this disease came upon me, I am sure I never could have -done it now.” - -At another time, in reply to a question from his father, he said with -great feeling, “I cannot yet say that I _want_ to die now; but I desire -the will of the Lord to be done. If He wills that I die now, _I am -ready_.” - -But why, do you suppose, did he not _want_ to die then? It was not -because it is so happy to live. His life was indeed a happy one, but -he knew it is far better to be with Christ. The reason why he seems to -have wished to live rather than to die, was, that he might do good. His -heart was set on being a missionary. He hoped soon to visit his father’s -country for his education, and then to return, and preach the gospel. It -was this that seemed to him even more desirable than to go at once and be -with Christ. - -Prayer was very sweet to him. Once, after his father had prayed with him, -he said, “It is such a comfort to have you pray with me!” He also prayed -himself. He asked of God that all the members of the church might “lead -holy lives,” and that those who are in their sins, and the children, -might be converted. He ended as follows:—“O Lord, thou knowest how much -greater than our words are our desires and necessities; and do thou hear -us and bless us as thou seest we need, for the sake of Jesus Christ, to -whom be glory for ever. Amen.” - -He also found great comfort in the Bible. As his father repeated passages -to him, such as “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” “This is a -faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came -into the world to save sinners,” he would say, “Oh, how sweet! how -precious!” - -For twelve days he had been getting worse, and it was now plain that the -conflict was nearly over. A little before the end, his father bent over -him, and said, “Charles, can you now commit your soul into the hands of -Christ, as your gracious Saviour?” He replied, slowly, and with deep -feeling, “I have done that _long ago_, papa.” - -His father, having heard these sweet words, threw himself on a sofa, and -being very tired, quickly fell asleep. A loud call from a servant soon -awoke him. He sprang to the bed, and found the poor sufferer in great -pain, and in a few minutes his spirit was with Christ in heaven. - -Would you join him there? Then “commit your soul into the hands of -Christ, as your Saviour,” that you too may be able to say, at the end of -life, “I have done that _long ago_.” - - Benjamin Pardon, Printer, Paternoster Row. - -[Illustration] - - God loves the child that humbly prays, - And truly seeks his face; - That walks in all his holy ways, - Depending on his grace. - - God loves the child whose earliest youth - Is given to the Lord; - Who fears his name, and speaks the truth, - And trembles at his word. - - God loves all those who prize his love; - And, till this life be past, - Will shine upon them from above, - And save them to the last. - - O heavenly Father! shine on me, - And all my heart unite - To love, and serve, and honour thee, - And make thee my delight. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Charles Dwight; or, the missionary's -son, by Unknown - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK CHARLES DWIGHT *** - -***** This file should be named 61131-0.txt or 61131-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/1/3/61131/ - -Produced by hekula03 and the Online Distributed Proofreading -Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This book was produced from -images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

When he<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span> -was only four months old, he -lost his mother by the plague. -She was a good mother, and -desired above all things for her -children that they might become -the disciples of Christ.</p> - -<p>Charles, though a pleasant -child, needed a new heart, as all -children do, however lovely they -may be. While yet young, he -was made to feel this. When -he was about seven years old -a child of a mission family died. -This led him to think of death. -A sermon which he now heard -made him pray very much for -his sins to be forgiven. The -Holy Spirit was striving with -him. He soon yielded to His -power, and put his trust in the -Saviour. He now entered upon<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span> -a new life. Prayer was his delight. -The Bible was a precious -book. He aimed to do right and -to make everybody happy.</p> - -<p>Charles’s companions could -not help loving him, for he was -always kind in his ways. Some -of these, like himself, were pious -youths. They never came together -to spend any time in each -other’s society without praying -before they parted. As one of these -loved friends was about to leave -on one occasion, Charles said, -“Let us not part till we have -prayed together;” so they went -into a room by themselves, and -he read a chapter in the Bible, -and they knelt down and prayed.</p> - -<p>That very night—it was Saturday, -February 5th, 1853—he<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span> -was seized with a headache. -The most skilful aid was called -in, but it could not help him. -His pains at times were very -great, but he never lost his patience, -nor his sweet hope in God. -A part of the time his mind -wandered, and then he kept -talking, now in English, now -in Greek, now in French, now -in Turkish,—but it was about -Christ and his cause. Once, -when a dear friend who was siting -by him asked him if he felt -ready for whatever might be the -result of his sickness, he said, -“My head is in such pain that -I cannot collect my thoughts; -but sometimes I am able to do -so, and then my mind is in perfect -peace. But if I had not<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span> -been led to make my peace with -God before this disease came -upon me, I am sure I never -could have done it now.”</p> - -<p>At another time, in reply to -a question from his father, he -said with great feeling, “I cannot -yet say that I <em>want</em> to die -now; but I desire the will of -the Lord to be done. If He wills -that I die now, <em>I am ready</em>.”</p> - -<p>But why, do you suppose, did -he not <em>want</em> to die then? It -was not because it is so happy -to live. His life was indeed a -happy one, but he knew it is far -better to be with Christ. The -reason why he seems to have -wished to live rather than to die, -was, that he might do good. His -heart was set on being a missionary.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span> -He hoped soon to visit -his father’s country for his education, -and then to return, and -preach the gospel. It was this -that seemed to him even more -desirable than to go at once and -be with Christ.</p> - -<p>Prayer was very sweet to -him. Once, after his father had -prayed with him, he said, “It -is such a comfort to have you -pray with me!” He also prayed -himself. He asked of God that -all the members of the church -might “lead holy lives,” and that -those who are in their sins, and -the children, might be converted. -He ended as follows:—“O Lord, -thou knowest how much greater -than our words are our desires -and necessities; and do thou<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[7]</a></span> -hear us and bless us as thou -seest we need, for the sake of -Jesus Christ, to whom be glory -for ever. Amen.”</p> - -<p>He also found great comfort -in the Bible. As his father repeated -passages to him, such as -“In my Father’s house are many -mansions,” “This is a faithful -saying, and worthy of all acceptation, -that Christ Jesus came -into the world to save sinners,” -he would say, “Oh, how sweet! -how precious!”</p> - -<p>For twelve days he had been -getting worse, and it was now -plain that the conflict was nearly -over. A little before the end, his -father bent over him, and said, -“Charles, can you now commit -your soul into the hands of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span> -Christ, as your gracious Saviour?” -He replied, slowly, and -with deep feeling, “I have done -that <em>long ago</em>, papa.”</p> - -<p>His father, having heard these -sweet words, threw himself on a -sofa, and being very tired, quickly -fell asleep. A loud call from a -servant soon awoke him. He -sprang to the bed, and found the -poor sufferer in great pain, and -in a few minutes his spirit was -with Christ in heaven.</p> - -<p>Would you join him there? -Then “commit your soul into -the hands of Christ, as your -Saviour,” that you too may be -able to say, at the end of life, “I -have done that <em>long ago</em>.”</p> - -<p class="center">Benjamin Pardon, Printer, Paternoster Row.</p> - -<hr /> - -<div class="cover-back"> - -<div class="poetry-container"> -<div class="poetry"> -<div class="stanza"> -<div class="verse">God loves the child that humbly prays,</div> -<div class="verse indent1">And truly seeks his face;</div> -<div class="verse">That walks in all his holy ways,</div> -<div class="verse indent1">Depending on his grace.</div> -</div> -<div class="stanza"> -<div class="verse">God loves the child whose earliest youth</div> -<div class="verse indent1">Is given to the Lord;</div> -<div class="verse">Who fears his name, and speaks the truth,</div> -<div class="verse indent1">And trembles at his word.</div> -</div> -<div class="stanza"> -<div class="verse">God loves all those who prize his love;</div> -<div class="verse indent1">And, till this life be past,</div> -<div class="verse">Will shine upon them from above,</div> -<div class="verse indent1">And save them to the last.</div> -</div> -<div class="stanza"> -<div class="verse">O heavenly Father! shine on me,</div> -<div class="verse indent1">And all my heart unite</div> -<div class="verse">To love, and serve, and honour thee,</div> -<div class="verse indent1">And make thee my delight.</div> -</div> -</div> -</div> - -</div> - - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Charles Dwight; or, the missionary's -son, by Unknown - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK CHARLES DWIGHT *** - -***** This file should be named 61131-h.htm or 61131-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/1/1/3/61131/ - -Produced by hekula03 and the Online Distributed Proofreading -Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This book was produced from -images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
