ng him. And this was the Christian who led
this drunken man to Christ. This young man had a neighbor who had drank
for forty years, and he went to that neighbor and told him what God had
done for him, and the result was another conversion. I tell you these
things to encourage you to believe that the drunkard can be saved.

A Remarkable Case.

I may relate a little experience. In Philadelphia, at one of our
meetings, a drunken man rose up. Till that time I had no faith that a
drunken man could be converted. When any one approached he was generally
taken out. This man got up and shouted, "I want to be prayed for." The
friends who were with him tried to draw him away, but he shouted only
louder, and for three times he repeated the request. His call was
attended to and he was converted. God has power to convert a man even if
he is drunk.

"O Edward."

I remember going into a young converts' meeting in Philadelphia, where I
heard a story that thrilled my soul. A young man said he had been a
great drunkard. He had lost one situation after another; till finally he
came to the very dregs. He left Philadelphia, and went first to
Washington, and then to Baltimore. One night he came back to
Philadelphia. He had lost his key and could not get into his home. He
was afraid to go into the house while the people were stirring, so he
staid outside watching till all had retired. He knew that after that
there would be at least one who would hear him and come to the door. He
went to the door; he knocked; when he heard the footsteps of his mother.
"O Edward," said she, "I am so glad to see you." She did not reprove
him; did not rebuke him. He went up stairs and did not come down for two
days. When he came to, the servants were walking about the house very
softly--everything was quiet. They told him that his mother was at the
point of death. His brother was a physician, and he went to him and
asked him if it was so. "Yes, Ned," said he, "mother can't live." He
immediately went up stairs, and asked his mother's forgiveness, and
prayed to his mother's God to have mercy upon him. "And God," said he,
"my mother's God, heard my prayers," and the tears trickled down his
face and he said: "God has kept me straight these four years in the face
of all trials." O sinner, ask for His grace and might; do not turn Him
away.
