These Things I Have Seen

by Mary Warburton Booth

To read Mary Warburton Booth’s stories is to read the ways of God. Someone who had visited Mary’s home, remarked, “The presence of God is so real I can hardly bear it!” She had a beautiful love relationship with Jesus. The mundane things of daily life were sacred to her.

God called her to care for the neglected little ones of India, and, in obedience to His voice, she formed the Nurseries Fellowship. She could take the most incorrigible child with language so foul others begged her to send the child away and see the girl transformed into a beautiful example of God’s grace.

Early in the formation of the Nurseries Fellowship, Mary wondered what place they would give prayer. For a while they kept busy working, but she said, “We fished all night and caught nothing,” so they make prayer the work. When things were prayed through, money came, buildings were built and lives changed. Prayer was their work.

Through her example, you can learn how to:

• Pray until answers come
• Enjoy and retain Jesus’ fellowship
• Love like Jesus loved
