When inside he listened to the singing and
heard the text, "Where art thou?" and he thought he would go out. He
rose to go, and the text came upon his ears again, "Where art thou?"
This was too personal, he thought, it was disagreeable, and he made for
the door, but as he got to the third row from the entrance, the words
came to him again. "Where art thou?" He stood still, for the question
had come to him with irresistible force, and God had found him right
there. He went to his hotel and prayed all that night, and now he is a
bright and shining light. And this young man, who was a commercial
traveler, went back to the village in which he had been reared, and in
which he had been one of the fastest young men--went back there, and
went around among his friends and acquaintances and testified for
Christ, as earnestly and beneficially for him as his conduct had been
against Him.
Governor Pollock and the Condemned Criminal.
When I was East a few years ago, Mr. Geo. H. Stewart told me of a scene
that occurred in a Pennsylvania prison, when Governor Pollock, a
Christian man, was Governor of the State. A man was tried for murder,
and the judge had pronounced sentence upon him. His friends had tried
every means in their power to procure his pardon.
