DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

D.L. Moody emphasizes the significance of every individual soul,
particularly in the context of teaching and nurturing young children in
faith. He recounts an encounter with a Sunday-school teacher who
dismissed her class upon finding only one little boy present. Moody
challenges this mindset, asserting that even one child can hold immense
potential for greatness and transformation, likening them to historical
figures like Knox, Wesley, or Whitefield. The sermon calls for valuing
each soul and recognizing the impact they can have on the world.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

One afternoon I noticed a lady at the services whom I knew to be a
Sunday-school teacher. After the service I asked her where her class
was. "O," said she, "I went to the school and found only a little boy,
and so I came away." "Only a little boy!" said I. "Think of the value of
one such soul! The fires of a reformation may be slumbering in that tow-
headed boy; there may be a young Knox, or a Wesley, or a Whitefield in
your class."
