But why go so far to find evidences of the
Gospels power to save a soul? “We are wit.
nesses.” We ware so proud that no man
could have humbled us; we were so hard
that no earthly power could have malted us,
Angels of God were all around about us; they
oould not overcome us; but one day, perhaps
at a Methodist anxious ssat or at a Presby-
tarian catechetical lecture or at a burial or
on horseback, a power seized us and made as

grasp, but we could not. It flung us fat,
and when we arose we were as much changed
as Gourgls, the heathen, who went into a
prayer meeting with a dagger and a gun, to
disturb the meeting and destroy it, but the
next day was found crying: "Oh, my grout
sins! Oh, my great Saviour” and for
eloven years preached the Gospel of Christ
to his fellow mountaineers, the last words
on his dying lips being "Free grace” Oh,
it was free grace!
There is a man who was for ten years a
hard drinker. The dreadful appetite had
sant down ita roots around the palate and
the tongue, and on down until they were
interlinked with the vitals of the body, mind
and soul, but he has not taken any stimo-
lants for two years. What did that? Not
temperance societies. Not prohibition laws,
Not moral suasion. Conversion did it,
