Dr. P. once heard a voice calling to him, "Is that Dr. P.?”
"Yes, I am Dr. P.”
"Well, if you spare me a minute or two, I would be very grateful. I have been to several of your meetings, and last night I wanted to confess Christ, as you explained it, but something seemed to hold me back.”
"Well, friend," Dr. P. said, "I am very glad to hear you are interested about your soul; but why do you not accept Christ as your own Savior? You may do so right where you are.”
"Yes, but I am a very hard case; if you can tell me anything that will make it plain to me, I will thank you very much.”
"Are you a sinner?”
"I am, and a great one.”
"But will you believe what God says?”
"Yes sir; God is saying to me all the time, unless you are saved you will be lost.”
"O, yes; but I am a hard case, I am very ignorant.”
"Do you not see that your very ignorance and sinfulness are the very reasons why God sent His Son to die for us. Do you believe that Christ is willing to save you? Ought you not to surrender to Him at once?”
"How am I to take Christ as my Savior? If I come tonight, will you explain it?”
"You need not wait till tonight, you may take Him here and now.”
Tears came into the man's eyes, and looking full in the Doctor's face he said, "I confess Him, Jesus Christ, as my Savior, and I take Him with all my heart.”
