William was confronted by a man who begged him to come and talk to a dying man who wanted to see him. As Wil liam turned to get his hat, the man entered the room, and closing the door drew out a knife and rushed toward him. Quickly William threw out his hands and grasped for the man’s wrists, and when he did so the other gave a vicious stab. Each time he aimed at the arms and chest of William. The struggle was fierce and long, and William lost much blood. He was so totally unprepared for Buch an attack that he had no opportunity to get advantage of his assailant. Finally he fell to the floor and exultlngly the would-be assassin turned to leave, sure that at last they were rid of their enemy. As William sank to the floor, and before losing conscious ness he heard the man say In Spanish, “ The foreigner Is dead now.” He lay unconscious on the floor, he scarcely knew how long, when gradually his senses cleared and he realized his need of help. Don Alfonso and Don Geronlmo, coming In at that moment, were able to render immediate assistance in stopping the flow of blood. They reported the matter at once to the police. Immediately these officers began their hunt for the offender, but although they brought In three men on suspicion none of them proved to be the assailant. Definite prayer was made that the man himself would come forward and make himself known, that the real cause of the assault might be discovered. In a few days William was again about the city preaching and distributing tracts. One afternoon, as he went to a near-by village, he was again attacked, this time by two men on horseback, but at the critical moment along the road appeared a group of people on their way to Cuzco, and again William escaped death. Other attempts followed, but still no trace of the author of the attacks was found. One afternoon William was distributing tracts and telling about the living Christ to any and all he could get to listen to him. As he held out a tract to one man, he suddenly recognized the man before him as the one who had sought to take his life with the knife. Calmly he Invited the man to a meeting that evening, and surprising as It may seem, he came. Not only so, but told them to send for the police If they wanted to, as he would make no attempt to escape. He was much touched because he was not at once put In the custody of the police. It was explained to him that the Gospel they preached enabled men and women to lo.ve their enemies, and that they wanted him to hear this Gospel and to be saved from his evil life. The man then confessed the reason for his deed. He, with a friend, had but recently
