I AM going to tell you, just as it was told me, of a way God saw fit to use to show a poor sinner, who could neither read nor write, his need of a Saviour.
“Just afore I knew the Lord, I had two dreams. In the first, I was walking out one day and met with a pilgrim going on his way; so we talked along together, and, of course, he soon knowed who I was, and what I was. So he says to me, ‘John, be you a sinner?’
“I says, ‘Yes, I be.’
“‘Well, then,’ he says, ‘you come along a me, and I’ll soon show you where they goes to.’
“So taking hold of my hand and shoulder, we walked on together till we came to a great built pit, bricked, and as full of fire as ever it could hold; and I saw it just in time to save me from stepping right in. And I just looked in, and I saw two men, as black as black, all chained together. And, mussy me! it frowt me so that I jumped back, shouting and screaming.
“When I went and saw our minister, I told un all about my dream; and he says to me, “Pend upon it, John, that’s a warning for you.’
“About a month after this, I had another dream. I dreamed I saw Jesus, and He called me twice. He says, ‘John! John!’ I answered un; and He says, ‘Never mind what anybody says to you, or what anybody does to you; your sins be all forgiven you.’ Then I broke out laughing so hard that it woke me up.
“So that was how I come to believe in Jesus. And He’s never failed me, though ‘tis nigh on forty years.” E. L. T.
