"At times these verses flash across my mind at most inconvenient seasons, and destroy my enjoyment; they occurred when you first spoke to me in the saloon, and the other night I caught myself repeating them when playing an important game of billiards." The pocket Bible was produced, and the words solemnly read,--"He hath appointed a day in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men in that He hath raised Him (Jesus) from the dead." The visitor then repeated to him the verses of a Judgment Hymn of his own writing, which evidently made a deep impression:-- Roll, roll, ye thunders with terrific dread! Shout, shout, ye angels and awake the dead! Proclaim the mandate of the Almighty King; Man, dead and living, to the Judgment bring. Rise, rise, ye millions of reposing clay! See, see, the light of the eternal day! The brightness of His coming gilds the sky, The glorious mantle of the Judge most high. Rejoice, rejoice, ye ransomed sons of God! Sing, sing, the virtue of the Saviour's blood! Your loud triumphant Hallelujahs sing, With great rejoicing hail your Saviour-King. Mourn, mourn, neglecters of a Saviour's love; Weep, weep, rejecters of the Heavenly Dove; Insulted mercy leaves thee to the law Which dooms to death, and bids thee hope no more. Awake, awake, ye slumbering sinners, pray; Cry, cry for mercy, now in mercy's day; Flee to the Covert from the storm, and rest Your blood-bought souls upon the Saviour's breast. After this visit there were several other meetings, and then a long interval occurred. Upon inquiring for his friend at the divans and saloons, the visitor was told that "he had not been seen for some time: that he had no doubt gone upon the Continent, and would turn up next season." He was not there the following year, and was never seen in his old haunts again. It was with him as with others,--much effort without apparent result; and yet it is possible that, in the day of the Lord, good concerning some of them will be made manifest. In one class of cases there is freedom from discouragement, and that is when the Christian worker is enabled to strengthen, to encourage, and to assist disciples in their efforts to give a testimony for the Lord, and to do good under depressing circumstances.
