THEY PROVED IT.

By G. Campbell Morgan

SOME years ago I was at work in Hull, England. God was giving us gracious seasons of refreshing, and a man came to me one night and said:—

"Do you know the strangest thing has happened to me!"

Said I: "What has happened?"

He said: "I am a cabinet-maker, and I work at a bench, and another man works by my side. He has worked by my side for five years. I thought I would like to get him to come to some of these meetings, and this morning I summoned up courage and said to him, 'Charlie, I want you to come along tonight to some meetings we are having down in Wilberforce Hall.' He looked at me and said, 'You don't mean to say you are a Christian?' and I answered, 'Yes, I am.' 'Well,' he said, 'so am I.'"

This man said to me, "Wasn't it funny?"

"Funny!" said I, "no. Is he here? for if so, both you and he want to get down here and start. You never have been born again."

It is an absolute impossibility for two men born again of the Spirit, filled with the Spirit, to work side by side for five years, and neither one or the other find it out. If one man is a Christian and the other isn't, the man that isn't will soon see the difference in the work the Christian man does. Christian men do pure, strong work, and the best work in the world.—Rev. G. Campbell Morgan.
