A Teacher and a Tract

Mary was in trouble. For years she had left gospel tracts on her desk for the students in the algebra class she taught. A lawyer on the school board had vowed to have her fired because of her overt Christian witness, and when he was elected president of the school board, he made good on his threat.
Fighting her dismissal, Mary finally got her job back after six months. In a strange turn of events, she discovered that the board members who had lobbied for her dismissal were themselves guilty of certain misdeeds, and they were in turn dismissed from the board--including the hostile lawyer. Again he vowed that he would one day ruin her and that his children would never be allowed in her classes.
Months later Mary attended the funeral of a student at the school. She arrived late and was seated next to. . .the irate lawyer! Though uncomfortable, Mary felt compelled to hand the lawyer one of the tracts she always had in her purse. The only one she had was written by a Christian lawyer.
Time passed, and at the beginning of a new semester the lawyer's daughter was assigned to Mary's algebra class. Mary told her that she should be assigned to another teacher, in keeping with her father's wishes. Smiling from ear to ear, the lawyer's daughter said that would not be necessary, for her father had accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior because of Mary's faithful witness and because of the tract that she had handed him that day at the funeral!
