e what it meant, and I said I would see him. When we met I asked him
if he wanted to become a Christian, and he seemed every way willing, but
when it came to confession to his family, he halted. "I tell you," said
he, "I cannot do that; my life has been such that I would not like to
confess before my family." "Now there is the point; if you are not
willing to confess Christ, He will not confess you; you cannot be His
disciple." We talked for some time, and he accepted. I found while I
had been in one room his daughter and some friends, anxious for the
salvation of that aged father, were in the other room praying to God,
and when he started out willing to go home and confess Christ, I opened
the door of the other room, not knowing the daughter was there, and the
first words she said were: "Is my father saved?" "Yes, I think he is," I
answered, and ran down to the front door and called him back. "Your
daughter is here," I said; "this is the time to commence your
confession." The father, with tears trickling down his cheeks, embraced
his child, "My dear daughter, I have accepted Christ," and a great flood
of light broke upon him at that confession.

Angry at First, Saved at Last.

In Dublin I was speaking to a lady in the inquiry-room, when I noticed a
gentlemen walking up and down before the door. I went forward, and said:
"Are you a Christian?" He was very angry, and turned on his heel and
left me. The following Sunday night I was preaching about "receiving."
and I put the question: "Who'll receive Him now?" That young man was
present, and the question sank into his heart. The next day he called
upon me--he was a merchant in that city--and said: "Do you remember me?"
"No, I don't." "Do you remember the young man who answered you so
roughly the other night?" "Yes, I do." "Well, I've come to tell you that
I am saved." "How did it happen?" "Why, I was listening to your sermon
last night, and when you asked, 'Who'll receive Him now?' God put it
into my heart to say: 'I will;' and He has opened my eyes to see His Son
now."

Removing the Difficulties.

I was speaking to a young lady in the inquiry-room some time ago, and
she was in great distress of mind. She seemed really anxious to be
saved, and I could not find out what was the trouble between God and
her. I saw there was something that was keeping her back. I quoted
promise after promise, but she didn't seem to take hold on any of them.
Then we got down on our kn
