The other told her it was for her, too, and she brought the sister to
the meetings, where she found peace.
Like Martha and Mary, they had a brother but he was a member of the
University of Edinburgh. He be converted? He go to these meetings? It
might do for women, but not for him! One night they came home and told
him that a chum of his own, a member of the university, had stood up
and confessed Christ, and when he sat down his brother got up and
confessed; and so with the third one.
When the young man heard it, he said: "Do you mean to tell me that he
has been converted?"
"Yes."
"Well," he said, "there must be something in it."
He put on his hat and coat, and went to see his friend Black. Black
got him down to the meetings, and he was converted.
We went through to Glasgow, and had not been there six weeks when news
came that that young man had been stricken down, and had died. When he
was dying he called his father to his bedside and said:
"Wasn't it a good thing that my sisters went to those meetings? Won't
you meet me in heaven, father?"
"Yes, my son, I am so glad you are a Christian; that is the only
comfort that I have in losing you. I will become a Christian, and will
meet you again."
I tell this to encourage some sister to go home and carry the message
of salvation. It may be that your brother may be taken away in a few
months.
