Some years ago two preachers went to a small city in Czechoslavakia to preach the gospel. When questioned by the authorities, they gave tracts to the officers. The next morning before they left the city, they were arrested and led off to the county courthouse. They paid the imposed fine and were released. But surely God “maketh the wrath of man to praise Him"!
Their tracts were confiscated and for the most part were burned. However, some of the police read them, and even the chief himself sought for more light and for more truth.
The police officer is now an old man, pensioned off, but he has put off the long-worn official uniform, and has put on the armor of God and is doing valiant service for his heavenly Master. Persecuted and misunderstood by his friends and acquaintances, he does not falter.
