be truly saved from eternal hell it was necessary to keep continually working at it. In other words, “ saved by grace but kept by works,” rather than “ saved by grace, kept, by grace, and then rewarded for works.” 1 Cor. 3:15 was used and, with clearer light, we are glad to say this man grasped the finished work of Christ when thus presented and went on his way rejoicing. “ ’Twas grace that wrote my name in God’s eternal book; ’Twas grace which kept me to this day and will not let me go.” We ran across another man— a free thinker— disturb ing and arguing, and continually interrupting the speaker. He was finally persuaded to step inside, and as the Word of God, sharper than any two-edged sword, was brought to bear upon him, the great light burst through, and so com pletely was he carried away by his new found joy that he threw his arms around the astonished worker and fairly hugged him to his heart. Another lingered as the crowd melted away, and seemed loath to leave. The speaker had been encouraged by his continued nods of assent to the message, and had concluded he must be a believer, but in close conversation it was dis covered his faith was pinned to a broken reed. He knew nothing of a personal appropriation of the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord, and when Rom, 6:23 and, finally, John 1:12 was presented to him he had nothing to say, but stood there a living illustration of the truth of. Rom. 3:19. When asked if he would then and there receive the Lord Jesus Christ as his own personal Savior, he willingly did so, at once stepping out before the band of Christian work ers and voluntarily confessing according to Rom. 10:9. “ Romans ten and nine is a favorite verse of mine; Confessing Christ as Lord, I am saved by grace divine, For there the words of promise in golden letters shine— Romans ten and nine.’’,' Following this, a Roman Catholic requested a copy of the New Testament. Many times he had stood in- front of Biola Hall listening, intensely interested. Finally, willing to be convinced, he ventured in, and now was anxious to possess a copy of God’s Word to read for ^himself. Can any one doubt what must be the final outcome? In one afternoon we witnessed three men step out of the crowd and confess Jesus a’s Lord for the first time. We had the joy of kneeling with three others yesterday as they too received Christ, while last night, as the Spirit of God had free and great liberty in . the testimony of the wit nesses, seven men and a backslider stepped into the light, and, as we close these lines we rejoice to see the gathering crowd of business men blocking the entrance to the Hall as the banner of His blood-stained Cross is presented. “ Room for Jesus, King of glory, Hasten now, His Word obey; Swing the heart’s door widely open. Let Him enter While you may.”
