Mr. Moody asked us all to kneel, and
offered a prayer, One man was present
who said he had never kneeled before.

gentleman. He name to me with an
open Bible, and stirred up all the devils
in me. I bated the Bible and didn't
want to have anything to do with it.
What I wanted was to have somebody

was this : Rom. 8 : 16 -"The Spirititself
beareth witness with our spirit that we
are the children of God."
It was the word "witness." That
meant evidence. That was what I want.
ed, and what I had always been seeking
for. In a few minutes the worker said I
was a bard customer, and he would have
to give me up. With that he went away,
and presently came back with a Scotch -
man, whose name wee Merton Smith,
He sat down beside me, kept his Bible
out of sight, and simply gave me a leaf
from his own experience. - My talk with
him gave me a litt'e mustard -seed grain

ing prayer with me ; bub I declined and
went home. and don't
I had no thought of praying,
think I put a prayer in words until after
I was converted, but I went to bed with
a yearning down deep in my soul to know
the God of whom Moody had been speak-
ing. There was a burning desire in my
heart that He would manifest Himself
to me in such a way that I could believe
in Him.
I goon fell asleep, and slept soundly ;
but when I awoke I found, to my awful
consternation, that God had given me
the wished -for evidence. He had said :
"Let there be light, and there was light."
At last God bad revealed Himself to me.
I cannot describe the condition of mind
in
whioh I found myself. I was in awful
torture, for I now saw myself se God saw
me. The moment I was awakened to
thetruth of His reality, I was also made
aware of my own sinful nature, and yet I
cannot say that I was especially troubled
because of anything I bad ever done,my-
eelf. My own individual eats of sin did
not rise before me mountains high, as
we sometime, sing. Tbat wasn't the
thing, It wasn't what I bad done in the
past, or what I was in my heart at that
moment that troubled me. For the first
time in my life the real meaning of sin
was made clear to me. I saw that my
nature was at enmity with God's nature.
I knew that in me were seeds of evil
which only needed suitable oonditioneto
make me as vile as the vilest. The only
reason why I was not as actively winked
no the worst man on earth, was because I
hadn't had his chances, and it was sal-
vation from this awful condition of heart
that I wee groaning for, I did not know
what to do, and the thought of doing um
thing almost crazed me.
I have often been asked what means
God used to reveal Himself to me. Did
I have a vision, something like that of
St. Paul? No. Was I stricken to the
floor by some violent and unknown foroe,
as some have testified to ? No. Did I
hear an audible voice speaking to me ?
No. Did I see the omitted Christ bleed-
ing on the tree for me ? No, I had
none of these experiences. How then
did God speak to me? I don't suppose
I could make this clear to another soul,
or say anything that would have any
weight as evidence to the skeptical. God
is a revelation, and not an explanation.
He is infinite in Elis resources, and does
not repeat Himself. No two people have
the same knowledge of God any more
than two persons oat see the game rain.
bow. Abraham saw Him as one man
beholds atother ; to Moses He appeared
in the burning bush; while Blithe saw
Him in the whirlwind that took from
him his master, and John beheld Him as
a Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world. Nevar appearing in the same
way to any two people, and yet always
in a way that proves beyond all question
that He is God. God came tome in His
own Word. In an instant the neglected
Bible which I had all my life rejected,
and hated, was made to blaze with the
seal of divinity, and I knew in my soul
that the thoughts in it had been born in
the mind of God,
When 1awoke on the mooning alter
the Needy meeting, I wag to the "Xn.
terpreter's 100486," and 40003!0131( doings
were being made known ta, me, Tboughte
were. flowing through my mina withal
l
did not bear the gltghtaet ee00mblanee 10
anything that had ever been there before,
I knew that en outside intelligence wa0
explaining things to nae 111ab had been a
life-long mystery, 1 wag made to see
with the briglltneeg of the noonday sun
that the second verge of the brat ohapter
of Genesis was it oorreot picture of my
own soul ; "Without form and void,
and darkness was upon the fade el the
deep." Forever pitching and toesing,
with unsatisfied longings, and never at
rest, Until that Hour I hod never had a
spiritual thought in my life. It had
never occurred to me that the Bible wag
full of hidden meaning. That ie was a
book within a book. A book in which
the affairs of men and the )histories of
nations wereused as symbols to give ut.
issues to the thoughts of God. On the
rare occasions when I had tried to read
the Bible, 1 had opened it just asI would
have any other book, and load tried to
read it in tele same way, But on that
morning God gave me new 0709, and the
Bible was no imager a dead mass of pa
per and binding, but a living volume.
let that time I didn't know muoll about
the Bible. There were occasional events
like the storiee of Noah and the era, and
Jonah and the whale, that had pictured
themselves upon' my mind with such
vividness in ohlldhood Mutt oouid never
forget them, but beyond that about all I
bast ever heard or read had become a
hazy fog. I might have been able to say
that it was Elijah and not Esau who had'
stood on Alt. Carmel and defied the
prophets of Baal, but I am not so sure of
it. Mingled with the anguish of mind
which I have above referred to, there,
was also something of almost ecstatic joy
in my new condition -joy thab I had
found the truth at lash. There is some-
thing in every soul that protoste against
aanih119819t, and there 00.119t a than on
earth who would hot rathee ge to the
lowest hell than have his existence blot-
ted out forever. From that moment to
this I have never for one instant load the
slightest doubt about the truth of the
Bible. Before conversion I had a sorry
time with skepticism, but since then I
have not been troubled with it. I know
that I have been born again.
