I am not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ : for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.—
(Romans 1:16 )
I remember some meetings being
held in a locality where the tide did not rise very quickly, and bitter and
reproachful things were being said about the work. But one day, one of the most
prominent men in the place rose and said:
“I want it to be known that I am
a disciple of Jesus Christ; and if there is any odium to be cast on His cause,
I am prepared to take my share of it.”
It went through the meeting like
an electric current, and a blessing came at once to his own soul and to the
souls of others.
