year. of age, who had been a devo
ted Christian lor more than (illy years,
who was totally blind, and suH'ured con
stantly wilb intense pain, I found hint
patiently hearing all, leaning on Christ.
I was about sixteen years old, and as 1
entered the room, the ladv introducing
mo, be said :
" I want to take your baud in mind.
ud so you have come to sit up with me ?
1 should think by your hand (hut you
were a young man. I want to talk with
you some more by and by."
U lien the lainily had retired, lie aked
me to place my baud anniu in his, and
said :
" I want to usk you it few questions.
Aro you a Christian?"
I thought 1 must answer honestly, and
I said, No."
' Do you mean to bo some tiuiu?"
"Yes!"
" Well, then, what are veu wiiiiin"
for?"
I wan speechless. l!ut the iiuestions
were daily in my mind until I yuvu my
heart to Christ."
