III

Do you know when you were converted? That is, do you know the exact

time? There are two extremes in experiences in this matter. I recall

the experience of an old man who sat in my lecture room one Friday

evening, and just as the hands of the clock marked the hour 9:30 he

said "I will," and came to Christ. That was the moment of his

conversion. But, as for myself, I have not had this experience; I do

not know just when I turned to Christ. It must have been when I was

but a small child. One of the best women I know has had an experience

similar to mine, while one of the greatest preachers in the land has

told me that he was a drunkard until he was 21 years of age, and then,

on his knees, by his father's death bed, he came to the Savior. After

all, it is not so much a question of the knowledge of the day, or the

hour, or the month of one's conversion as "Do we now know Christ?"
