"Once again the gospel.
From the Savior you have heard."
The above well-know gospel song was used of God to convert a once successful lawyer who had sunk so low in sin and poverty as to become a tramp in the streets, of New York. A homeless, penniless wreck of a man, he happened one night to wander past a mission just as those within sang
"Will you heed the invitation?
Will you turn and seek the Lord?”
He stopped for a moment to listen. His early training had been Christian and old memories were stirred. He turned and entered the hall just as the second verse, was being sung:
"Many summers you have wasted
Ripened harvest you have seen,
Winter snow by spring have melted;
Yet you liger in your, sin.'
He realized that this unreeled a truthful record of his own past life away from God. He listened to the third verse ending:
"While the Sprit still is striving,
Yield and seek the savior’s side."
Deeply convicted, he jumped to his feet and said, "I will yield I will seek the Savior’s side!"
He was converted that night, and confessed the Lord Jesus as his Savior, and there was joy in the presence of the angels of God.
