He was down and out sure enough! He thought he would end it all, and he
bent his steps toward the East River, intending to jump in, but was
chased from the dock by the watchman.
He passed a Mission, heard the singing, and went in. He heard men that
were once drunkards get up and testify to the power of God to save a
man. He knew a few of the men and thought, "If God can save them He
surely can me!" What a lot there is in testimony for the other fellow!
He went out that night and slept in a hallway. He waited until the
Mission opened, and going in, heard the same thing again. When the
invitation was given he went forward and was gloriously saved. He did
not walk the street that night nor has he since. He went to work at his
trade--he was a printer--and he and his dear wife, who had always prayed
for her husband, were united and are now working together in the
Master's vineyard.
This was over three years ago. Today this man has a position at a salary
of $5000 a year! Three years ago ordered out of a Park Row saloon as a
disgrace! Doesn't it pay to be a Christian and be on the level! I could
go right on and tell of hundreds that have come up and are on top now.
