"IF THOU SEEK HIM, HE WILL BE FOUND OF THEE."
A convicted robber had spent some time in prison. After his release, one night he entered a gospel hall and sat under the power of the Word of God. At the close of the service he heard William Cowper's hymn sung by the company of saved sinners who knew from experience the meaning of its words. As the lines were sung,
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day,
And there may I though vile as he
Wash all my sins away,
the convicted man said to himself, "That admits me." He claimed and confessed Christ as his Saviour, and became a shining light for God.
