In Dublin I was speaking to a lady in the inquiry-room, when I noticed
a gentleman walking up and down before the door. I went forward and
said, "Are you a Christian?" He was very angry, and turned on his heel
and left me. The following Sunday night I was preaching about
"receiving," and I put the question, "Who'll receive Him now?" That
young man was present, and the question sank into his heart. The next
day he called upon me--he was a merchant in that city--and said, "Do
you remember me?" "No, I don't." "Do you remember the young man who
answered you so roughly the other night?" "Yes, I do." "Well, I've
come to tell you I am saved." "How did it happen?" "Why, I was
listening to your sermon last night, and when you asked, 'Who'll
receive Him now?' God put it into my heart to say, 'I will'; and He
has opened my eyes to see His Son now." I don't know why thousands
should not do that here to-night. If you are ever to be saved, why not
now?
