Captain Russell was wonderfully saved one night. The next morning he bought a large Bible and laid it open on his table.
Said he: “I want the Bible to speak to others for me. I’m afraid that I am not strong enough to speak for myself.”
Many of his fellow-officers laughed at his faith, but he stood firm for Christ through it all. Soon he not only had the open Bible on the table, but he was also speaking to others for the Lord Jesus! He prayed daily: “Help me, Lord, not only to please my commander, but also to please Thee!”
