Jack Norval was a boxer by profession. He had won many a prize in the ring. One Sunday he came to the gospel hall where John Hawkins, the converted gypsy, would often preach. Jack enjoyed the service and especially the singing. He came back several times and one night he stayed behind and a faithful Christian sought to make the way of salvation clear and plain to the inquirer. That night Jack gave his heart to Jesus.
“From this time forward,” he vowed, by the help of God, I’ll never lift my hand again against a fellowman.” Jack became a keen open-air gospel worker. He loved to preach Christ outside his own home and his neighbors listened respectfully. All could see the change in his life. His character agreed with his Christian profession.
