How can I praise him for what he
has done for me? He saves me and sanctifies me and heals me. I praise
him for sending Evangelist Blank here. I would not say a word against
the people of Mount Olivet church, but for thirty-some years I lived in
that church an up-and-down life. God knows I wanted to live for him all
that time but my experience was not sufficient to keep me. But since I
have learned of the more perfect way, how my heart rejoices in this full
salvation. Since this meeting began, the good Lord has been showing me
great light on the church question. I see the one body of Christ, which
is the church. I have just learned that I was born into the real, true
church thirty-some years ago. O brethren, the day is dawning, the light
is shining. How glad I am that I have lived to see this day."

When Grandma Gray had well-nigh exhausted her feeble strength in
exhorting the people to come to Jesus and accept his truth, she sank
into her big willow chair and silently prayed. For a brief period there
was a deathlike stillness over the audience.

For years Grandma Gray had lived a life that could not be gainsaid.
True, she spoke in her testimony about her up-and-down life, but when
compared with the average professed Christian's life in that community,

Jake Benton was next to testify. He was simply overwhelmed with joy, and
spoke at some length of his hope of someday being reunited with his
darling girl in the skies. Jake's testimony scattered enthusiasm all
through the congregation of the saints and there was rejoicing and
praising God that was doubtless participated in by the angels around the
throne.

Little flaxen-haired Eva Gray, eleven-year-old daughter of Nolan Gray,
arose and said that Jesus had saved her and that she aimed to spend her
life for him, as had Grandma Gray. Thus we see a godly life is fruitful
of influence even on the lives of little children.

Probably the most remarkable testimony given was that of Squire Branson.
Branson spoke thus: "Friends and brothers: I stand before you a redeemed
man. I am washed and made white in the blood of Jesus. I am as a brand
snatched from the burning. I am now in my eighty-third year. You know
the manner of my life up until this meeting. I have had absolutely
nothing to do with religion. As you know I have lived a life of
