This month's testimony is given by Herley English, a Frenchman, horn Mar. 28 1927, and born again Feb. 16th,1051.. I was born in Montreal, Que. My, father was a taxi driver, pp to the age of 114 I had a normal life in a Catholic home with a very goods mother and father. My start in crime was when I was the watch boy bootlegger, to watch for police r which I did for about 8 or 7 m" ;ts9;, after which my father Brough' 91e back home. Then he wanted it €i learn a trade and sent me to a pkt school which I did for at least a , and a half. Ail this time I was 1* bad company. As soon as I got chance to leave home again I" four; a way to make easy money by robbe ing the dead drunk of jewelery, waw+ ches and money, which I practice for about 2 years. Eight years age,} when I was still in Montreal I roes my teacher in crime. He taught m how to steal money on a lege scales, by selling false real estate, and seal ing false Iottery tickets. 'this wers on till I was 21 until one day Y wascaught when I was sentenced for V. years less one day at t. Vincent Paul, Que. Penitentiary. while there I met my crime teacher and partner' who was coining in to serve 18 years which caused me to think. While i&a. there I tried to keep myself busy' ,just to use' up the long, long days and nights. It never occurred to me that I could turn to the Lord for help.. After being in there for 6 months )i even stole a package of cigarettes from the •guard for which I got Con.. finement with half ration of food April 5th 1950 I finished my term ie the Pen. Instead of going back to scheming and stealing I drift a' round from one city to aneithq Dai king here and there. 'The fele a,na that I had a good jab it just .f'ei till they found out that I' had ! jali record. A. few months ago I "f;' ell into London. I was planning ex yr.eak :eking and stealing again. 'First ]? needed a good -rest and .that night slept at the Goodwill Rescue Mission where I was met by Fro: Roth, who asked me if I was saved.i I told hint "No" and didn't feel like discussing. it any further. After being at the services for two days and evenings and on the third morning after bre- akfast I didn't want to lie to myself because 1 knew I was beat, I felt c had to make an opening for the Lord before it was too late. Ever since then I've beat my drinking, my gamti. Ming, and my urge for easy money. Ever since the Lord saved me I can sleep and rest a lot better then what I could before, And now at present T am just waiting for a sign from the Lord to express His thought foe I am ready for whatever work He has for me.
