A lady at Madison, Tennessee, made the same excuse. She even went so far as to say, “If you’ll just talk to my husband and get him to obey, then I’ll come along with him.” I told her that wasn’t the right attitude. The next Sunday at church she came down the aisle to make the confession and be baptized. When I met her, she stopped and whispered to me, “Brother Dark, I wish you would go back and talk to my husband.” He was just two steps behind her and she didn’t know it. That’s the way to get your husband to come! That’s the way to get your wife to come! If you wait for somebody else, then you’ll be lost. There was a lady in Chattanooga who didn’t wait for her husband. She went to church. Her husband tried to keep her from going. That’s unusual. Most husbands like for their wives to be good whether they are or not. But this husband didn’t want his wife to go to church. He told her she couldn’t have any money to give to the church. She began to take in sewing to make money for her contributions. That made him angry. He said, “You can’t use that sewing machine, I paid for it.” So she just kept on going without any money to contribute. He saw that he was defeated on that point so, in desperation, he locked up her wardrobe. He said, “I paid for those Sunday dresses and you can’t wear them to church.” She defied him again and borrowed some dresses from the next door neighbor and other ladies in the church and just kept on going anyway. He felt like he had to do something about it, so he went over to the meetinghouse to see if he could find out what could be done. He stood on the outside and listened. It didn’t sound as bad as he thought it would. Before the meeting closed he was baptized. Suppose his wife had been fainthearted and had refused to go ahead without her husband. He now says that he used to be the meanest man in Chattanooga and I’m inclined to agree with him. I heard another story of a lady who was influenced by her husband. She was attending a revival meeting and he was going with her every night. One night while they were dressing, she said something about going to church, and he said, “No, we’re not going to church tonight, we’re going to the show.” She replied, “I can’t go to a show. The revival is going on. You know that! I have to be over there!” He said, “No, we’re going to a show.” She kept on insisting that they go to church and he kept on insisting on going to the show. Finally he said, “Now, I’ve been going with you every night, and it’s only fair that you go with me tonight.” She still refused. Then he said, “If you don’t go with me tonight, I’m not going with you any more.” So she gave in.
