BROTHER EK YOO, of Batavia, Java, is about sixty years old. He has had the opium habit nearly all his life. He put away his second wife before baptism, as his first wife was still living. He thought he had the victory over the opium habit also; but shortly after baptism, he lapsed back into his old habit. Earnestly we labored with him, and sincerely did he try to stop this vile habit, but he continued to fail.
At a revival meeting, Brother Ek Yoo took his stand. In the midst of the conflict, he said, "O Brother Detamore, give me medicine." I pointed to heaven, and said, "God has medicine for you." His faith was strengthened, and he believed, from that hour, that victory was his; and he has not touched the poison since, though that was nearly a year ago. Now he rejoices to tell others of what God has done for him.
