Into and out of Infidelity.
(nY ELIJAH
8, Enn11N.)
For several years before my conversion
I was probably as happy as the average
man who is away from God. I was bless.
ed with good health ; enjoyed life ;. never
worried about what I couldn't help ; and
was always iucl!ned to look on the bright
side of things. But I had an idea that
the ohief aim of religion was to take the
joy out of the bumen heart and make
everybody gloomy. It had never been
my lot to fall in with many happy Christ-
ians, but I have seen hundreds of them
since my conversion. One of the very
first duties every Christian owes to God
is to be happy.
Within a few weeks after my oonver-
cion I resigned my newspaper position in
Chicago, and returned to my home in
Indiana, where I burned up all of my in-
fidel books, and ohanged many of the
pictures on the walls of my home. In-
gersoll's picture had to come down from
the honored place it had long had upon
the mantle.
A great many doors opened before me,
and in less than six weeks after my oon•
version I was preaching. I got at it
through being called upon by neighboring
churches to tell my experience. I soon
had more calls than I could fill. There
was scarcely a Sabbath for many mouths
that I did not have appointments, and
when Winter came I was busy all the
time, holding meetings as an evangelist.
I had not had any thought of becoming a
preacher. I wanted to work for the
Lord, and could not have lived without
doing it, but I wanted to piok out a place
that would snit me. Before my change
of heart I had about as much love for
preaohere as the Egyptians had for shep-
herds. I looked upon them as a lot of
blood suckers, who were sponging their
living, and thought they ought to bake off
their Pats and go to work and do some
real good in the world. It was wonderful
that the Lord led me to do with joy the
very thing for which I used to have such
hatred. I was willing mud obedient from
the first, and when I knew that I was
where God wanted me to be I never fel.
tared. From that time to this I have
continued to try in the best way I could,
to point out the way of salvation.
It was more than two years after my
conversion before I did anything with
my experience. I kept it out of print
and never told it to an andienoe except
when urged to do so. I was led to pub-
lish it through hearing a minister say
that one of the most useful talents God
gives to a Christian is his experience.
This made me feel that I had beer. hid-
ing my light under a bushel, and so I
wrote out my story. Up to this time
more than fifty thousand copies have
been circulated, and I am glad to say
that it has pleased God to use it. I of-
ten hear of some one being converted
through having read it. I have a epeeial
desire for the salvation of those who are
troubled with unbelief as I have been,
and wish to be able to help thein to get
where they may know the truth ae it is
in Jesus. I desire to ask every Christ-
ian who has followed me thus far, to pray
that God will greatly bless this testi-
mony to that end.
On the 29th of January, 1880, the Lib-
eral society, to which I belonged in Cin.
cionati, celebrated Tom Paine's birthday
with a large demonstration in Robinson's
opera house, the speakers of the evening
being Reuben Daily, then and now editor
of the Daily News, of Jeffersonville, Ind.,
and myself. My address was printed in
pamphlet form, and distributed as a Lib-
eral tract, It was also printed in an in•
fidel newspaper. It ought to strengthen
the faith of my Christian readers to learn
that about throe years after my conver-
sion Mr. Daily was also converted, and
has ever since been doing all that he
could with tongue and pen to undo the
mischief of his previous false teaching.
How can people who sneer at the Bible
account for this ?
About e, year after my conversion the
way opened for me to go into the regular
ministry. 1 was installed on a country
circuit twenty-five miles east of Indiana.
polio, leaving my One home to go into a
plain little cottage of feat rooms without
a cellar and with no under -pinning. At
that time my wife was not a Christian,
and the prospect to her must have looked
desolate, but she bore up bravely, and a
few months after going to Morristown
was happily converted.
My experience on that Indiana oircuit
wa0 full of bleeeing, and is now of great
value to m0 in my present work. With.
out the things I learned as an itinerant
and in evangelietio work, the "Gander -
foot Letters" could not have been writ.
ten.
I engaged in the publication of The
Ram's Horn because I clearly felt that I
had been palled to undertake the work
for the Lord. When the call first came
to rile, however, I was not inclined to
hear it, I didn't want to get bank into
business again. I wanted to preach, I
knew that a mountain range of difficulty
was before me, and I felt myself too
weak to try to cross it. It was some
time before 1 could pomade myself to
give the matter serious thought. At last,
though, after more than a year of delay;
I became eptiefied that I Mad try to 00'

down to the last dollar for the work, and
The Item's Horn was soon a reality.
My greatest fear was that I might not
have sufficient capital to bold put until a
paying business could be established, but
I w80 00 confident that God was calling
me to go ahead that T did so, feeling sure
that He would take Dare of all my needs,

rescue. Whenever it would begin to grow
dark the promises would shine out, and
make it impossible to hemp uneasy. I
have found that the promises of God are
the eolideet foundation any one aim build
upon in businees matters. I Have never
had more peace about anything int my
life than I have had about' temporal af•

God has not suffered me to get to 10. It

In conclusion, I want to say in regard
to my work on The Rain's Horn, that it
ie the joy of my life, In oneway it is
very hard—hard on the mind and body—
hut in another it is wonderfully easy, be-
oauee I know I am working with Him
who said, " lify yoke is easy, end My
burden is light." When I go to my task
eaoh morning, I go with a heart overflow-
ing with gratitude to the Christ who has
so gloriously saved me, and with a con-
sciousness that I am in the plane where
He wants me to be, and to know that He
holds my hand gives a peace, and a
strength, and a oourage that makes heav•
en real and near to me. Surely it is bet•
ter—yea, a thousand times better—to be
even a door -keeper in the house of God
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness,
"If any man will do His will, he shall
know of the doctrine, whether it ba of
God" ; John, 7:17.

muokle I'm Mein' ilka day for want of
someane to gather the eggs an' milk the
coos. I'm turned thirty noo an' it's mair
than time I was tryin' to get mairit.
But the trouble is boo to gang aboot it.
If a body gangs to buy a horse or a coo,
if he biena skill o' thee beasts, he'll tak
ace o' his ekilly neebors wi' him' to gig

no' fashionable for a shield to speir any

folk gey an' afteo try to please themselves
an' a fine mess they sometimes mak' o't.
There's Tam, he said he didna marry his
wife for her guid looks but because she
had eiccan a fine gesture. Then there's
will's wife ; she makes a guid show -
horse for the milliners an' manty makers,
but an' awfu' puir wife for Will, or I'm
sair mista'en. And there's Sandy's wife;
folks say she paints, fiegh ! the nasty
thing. If she wad pit the paint on the
hoose there wad be some sense in it, for
her hoose wad be nano the wain: o' a
daub o' the paint -brush.
Duey, but there's some real guid wives
for a' that, but boo am I to ken a lass
that'll mak' a guid wife to me ? that's
the diffioaltee ; they may look to be a 'ae
woo', but they're no' a' ae woo' for a that.
Ay, ther's Geordie, he's got a real guid

she'll no' do. Then Mary, she took her

Mean without waieten ony o't, so Geordie
thocht that Mary wad be baith clean and
thrifty, an' he epeired her, an' got her,
an' just the aetber day I heard the
Deacon say that if he bad a span o'
horses that wad draw thegetber and were
as well mated in like, way as Geordie and
Mary be wadna tag' $1,000 for them ;

Solomon had a 17autle experience o'

dred wives. Of worse that was far ower

hundred, in fact seven wad be ower
mony for me.' Gif I had ane wi' a' the
gnid qualities o' seven that wad be a

had n lot o' experience, an he says some
gey hard things aboot the women that are
no just what they ocht to be and warns a'
mankind against them. Bat i' the ither
hand be canna say 0000010 in praise o'
the goad women. He tells us that b0e0ea
an' eiller are the inheritance o' faithers,
an' a prudent wife is frae the Lord.
That guid book the Bible tells ua that
"man looketh on the outward appearance
but the Lord searchoth the heart," an'
I'm sure that's far mair than I can doe ;
so I'll e'en tell the Lord what I want, an'
I'll has faith that he'll wale a guid ane
for me. Ab, but is it no' written that
faith without warke ie deed ? so I'll has
to wart mysel' as well as pray. I believe
I'll spank to the preaoher aboot it. May
be he might help me, he's a guid man, ay

is an' that bairn o' theirs, it's wall kent I
