Babes, Dead—Missionaries to Survivors – Charles Spurgeon

IN this great city the deaths of little babes are among Heaven’s most important missionary operations. The many who are born only to die, are these wasted lives? Oh, no! Mothers are beckoned to the skies by their departing infants, and fathers, though they may be steeped in indifference to the gospel, are made to think seriously of the world to come. You infant cherubs, who in Heaven behold the face of our great Father, how often are you ministers of his that do his pleasure! In this sense, out of the mouth of babes and sucklings has God ordained strength.
