It seems to be a matter of no importance that a certain woman, whose name has been forgotten, dropped a tract in the way of a very bad man by the name of Richard Baxter. He picked up the tract and read it. It was the means of his salvation. In after years, that man wrote a book entitled, "The Call to the Unconverted," which was the means of bringing a multitude to God, among them Philip Doddridge. Philip Doddridge wrote a book called, "The Rise and Progress of Religion," which brought thousands and tens of thousands into the kingdom of God, among them the great Wilberforce. Wilberforce wrote a book called, "A Practical View of Christianity," which was the means of bringing a great multitude to Christ, among them Leigh Richmond. Leigh Richmond wrote a tract called, "The Dairyman's Daughter," which has been the means of the salvation of multitudes. And that tide of influence started from the fact that one Christian woman dropped a Christian tract in the way of Richard Baxter -- the tide of influence rolling on through Richard Baxter, through Philip Doddridge, through William Wilberforce, through Leigh Richmond; on, on, on, forever, forever. So the insignificant events of this world seem after all to be most momentous.
