I remember one occasion at the Breakfast Association, Philadelphia, at the twilight service, New Year's Eve, I saw five hundred men stand for prayer at one time. Our Mission is much smaller, but on New Year's Eve and during New Year's Day, when we have a continuous service from 12 o'clock midday to 9.30 P.M., with an entire change of leaders and musicians each hour, I have seen your nominal Christian, the toper, the criminal, all so overcome by the convicting power of the Holy Spirit that social differences melted away and they knelt side by side at the mercy seat; we have seen fifty people enter into covenant relations with God in that pivotal period of the year, and we have seen most of them keep the faith. Think of a church holding a meeting nine and a half hours long; in most churches the pastor and the elders would have the last three hours or more all alone. But at the Mission the interest deepens so that it is hard to dismiss even at a late hour. THE FORGER FROM NEW HAVEN It was at one of those long services I saw a New England man brought under deep conviction, and at last yield to the Spirit, make confession and receive Christ. It was about 4 P.M. when he arose to tell his story of sin. He said, “I have committed a crime against the State, and I want to know if I can be forgiven before that is made good. I want to see three members of the Board alone.” Three of the men went into consultation with him. It proved that he had forged a check at New Haven for $300, had collected the money and had escaped. He was told, “God will forgive you now and undertake for you in case you promise full restitution.” He kneeled at the altar, began to pray out loud, promised restitution and promised to bear patiently any punishment the State demanded. A worker was sent with him to New Haven. He went first to his own father, who said, “John, I never want to see your face here; you had no business to come back, for you will be sent to prison and disgrace us all.” “But, father, I am converted, I mean to take my punishment, then live a true man ever after.” “Oh! that is different; in that case, I will help you all I can.” They went at once to the man whose name had been forged. They found him very bitter at first, but when John told his story of how ashamed and sorry he was, and added, “I have come back to take my punishment, then I want to be a good man and a good citizen all the rest of my life.” At this point the father said, “Mr. Percy, I will gladly pay back the $300 and interest if you think you can forgive John.” That was done and the prosecution withdrawn.
