MY father was an infidel, but my mother was a dear godly, prang Christian, who brought me up in the fear of the Lord. When I got to be a young man I strayed far from her teachings and got into the world. However, when I was nineteen a faithful servant of the Lord began holding special gospel services in Newark, New Jersey, where I lived and my older brother, Charlie, got saved at that time. Charlie then spoke to me about my soul.
For ten days I tried to be a Christian and not let anyone know it, but that failed. Then one night I went to the home where the evangelist was staying and told him my difficulty. He at once pointed me to Christ as the need of my soul. Then we got down on our knees and prayed, and that night I passed from darkness to light. I found Christ as my Saviour.
“I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins:... For I have redeemed thee.” Isa. 44:22.
