CHILD CONVERTS Dr. C. R. Roads in “The Eastern Methodist, speaking of Jonathan Edwards’ child converts, says: In that mighty revival
in 1734 in New England, "The Great Awakening” under the preaching of Jonathan E d w a r d s , among the hundreds of converts was a little child only four years of age whose case the great evangelist particularly details. He unqualifld- edly defends the reality of the child’s repentance and faith in Christ and its complete spiritual change to the Christians saved nature. Think of how far ahead was the /great thinker in 1734 of /ifiany Christian parents and even pastors today. Rev.
