" She talked with them, and when that brother
went to bed, he began thinking and thinking. He had tickets for the
theater next night, but when next night came he said he would go to the
meeting with his sister, and, to make a long story short, he came and
was converted. He came to me--he was a mechanic--and asked me to talk to
the laborers and have them come to the meetings. He had got such a
blessing himself that he wanted them to share it.
That man brought me a list of the names of the mechanics about half as
long as this room, and we got up a meeting in the theater, and we had
that theater packed. That was the first meeting of working men I ever
had, and the work of grace broke out among them. This was but the result
of the woman taking her stand. She went into the inquiry-room and became
an earnest worker. I get letters from her frequently now, and I do not
believe there is a happier woman in all England. If she had taken
another course she might have been the means of ruining these young men.
There is one thing that Christians ought to ask themselves. Ask your
heart, "Is this the work of the devil?" That is the plain question. If
it's the work of the devil turn your back against it. I would if I
thought it was.
