Once there was a prisoner who was cast into jail because he preached
Jesus. It seemed to him he was alone and without friends to help. But
there was another prisoner in an adjoining cell who knew him but could
not speak to him because the guards would hear his voice. At night the
lonely man would hear some one knocking on the wall. What did this
sound mean? What did the knocks say? At last he thought the knocks
might stand for the letters of the alphabet. One knock meant A, two
knocks B, etc. so he counted the taps one night. He counted twenty-one
taps. "That," said he, "means U." When he counted again it struck
fourteen times; that meant N. The next time it struck four times; that
meant D. Now he heard five taps; that meant E. Again he heard eighteen
taps; that stood for R. Then nineteen taps; that stood for S. Then
twenty taps; that meant T; then one tap which meant A; then fourteen,
N; then four, D; then the taps ceased and he knew the message had been
delivered and discovered the word meant UNDERSTAND. He answered by
twenty-five knocks which meant Y; then five taps for E; then nineteen
taps for S which spelled out his answer which was YES. They talked
together because they knew each other's language. God often knocks at
our heart's door. Some great trouble comes to our home. Over and over
He knocks and the knocking spells out the word COME, let us answer
25/Y 5/E 19/S.
Give them further illustration in knocks. They will like it.
