told the Lord that if he would make him a channel he would speak to
these men. The first man who entered his office the next morning was his
confidential clerk, who had been with him eighteen years. The merchant
said, "Edward, haven't I been a good employer to you?" "Yes, sir." "Have
not I treated you well?" "Yes, sir." "Why, sir, what have I done," said
the clerk, "that you are going to discharge me?" "Edward, I am on my way
to heaven, and I want you to go with me." Tears came into the eyes of
both men as Edward took the merchant's extended hand and said, "I will,
sir." Dr. Carson afterwards received eleven men into his Church because
this trustee had consented to be a channel for the Holy Spirit.

Dr. Manley S. Hard talked with a physician about his soul, and, two days
after, the doctor entered the revival-meeting just before the
benediction, walked straight to the altar, and begged the people to
wait and pray for him, saying:

"I know it is late and you are all tired, but I want you to stay a
little while and pray for me. This has been an awfully hard day. I have
ridden fifty miles and visited more than twenty patients, but I am the
sickest man of them all. Two sermons have been preached to me; a
faithful one yesterday by my pastor; the other this morning when I had
to tell a woman she had better get ready to die, for she could not live.
As I drove away I said to myself, 'You have warned another, but you are
not ready yourself.'"

To go to a man and speak to him directly and plainly about his
responsibility to God, and warn him to flee from "the wrath to come,"
may take more courage than to preach to a thousand; but it pays, and it
must be done if the dying multitudes are ever saved.
