Many years ago, the members of a drinking club had a Negro boy serving them. This lad was adept at mimicking people, and often amused his masters with this skill. One day they told him to mimic George Whitefield, the famous Christian evangelist. This the boy was very unwilling to do. When the men insisted upon it, he stood up, and in Mr. Whitefield's dynamic manner cried out: "I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, unless you repent, you will all be damned."
This unexpected speech struck home. The two-edged sword pierced every heart there. The club was entirely broken up, and many of its members turned to Christ.
