*FOREWORD*
Whole libraries have been written on Christian evidences. The resources
of philosophic and scientific research have been drawn up in defence of
the Christian faith. Yet important as these are, it may be questioned
whether any or all of them together bring home to the heart such
conviction as does the story of a redeemed soul—a soul lifted out of the
fearful pit and miry clay—cleansed, purified and established in
righteousness. Whatever intellectual difficulties may occur, a
countenance illumined with a light that is not of this world is
irresistible.
Henry Ward Beecher spoke of a nest of infidels he had encountered upon
whom argument made little impression. There lived in the same village a
humble washerwoman of singularly beautiful character. When asked what
they thought of her the sceptics were silenced. Harold Begbie says of
Old Born Drunk that "he advertised salvation. Before the miracle of Old
Born Drunk the arguments of the tavern atheist melted into thin air."
We are indebted to Mrs. Goforth for having gathered from her long
experience in China a series of instances as convincing as any told by
Harold Begbie in "Twice Born Men." They are not the outcome of
generations of development, for China has no religious background. They
are miracles of grace. Luther said, "God is the God of the humble, the
miserable, the oppressed, the desperate, of them that are naught. It is
His nature to give sight to the blind, to comfort the broken hearted and
to justify the ungodly."
The divine nature is beautifully and impressively illustrated by these
stories of redeemed and glorified ones whose after life verified the
reality of the miraculous change. He is able to save unto the
uttermost. With Him there is plenteous redemption. Go ye, therefore,
and tell it out.
