F. B. Meyer tells the story of a young girl who lived centuries ago in a convent in France. She was sweet and pure and admired of all who saw her. Her work was to care for an altar and answer the portal. Wars swept over France bringing soldiers to the convent, and one that was wounded was given into her care. When he recovered, he persuaded her to leave the convent. She went with him to Paris where she lost her good name and everything that made life worth living. Years passed, and she came back to die within the sound of the convent bell. She fell fainting upon the steps, and there came to find her, one who had lovingly kept from others the knowledge of her fall into sin. She picked her up and carried her into the convent and placed her on her bed. All the years that she had been gone, she had faithfully done her work and none knew of her disgrace; so she glided back into her old place, and until the day of her death no one ever knew her sin. All this, Christ has done for me. I like to think that He had me in mind when He suffered and died, that He has made up before God for all that I have failed to do, and when I stand before Him it will be as if I never had sinned in all my life. --J. Wilbur Chapman
