The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1878-01-09
The Duty Done.

A Presbyterian minister tells the follow
ing: He was at one time pastor of Church
in town where the richest and everyway
most prominent man was VIGOROUSLY neg
lector of religion, and openly hostile to the
ministers. Seeing the old man in his car
riage before store in the place one day, he
felt strange impulse to 60 near and join
himself to the chariot, and ask the liberty of
visiting him that he might preach the Sa-
viour. Fearing a scene, he refrained, and
was conscience. smitten. Six weeks later he
met the carriage on the street again, and the
impulse was renewed, and the came words
suggested. Heimmediately consulted one of
his judicious deacons, who advised him not t.,
visit him. He would be driven from tie
door-there would be scandal, and ne
would become an object of derision. Bus he
could not rest. He felt it was God calling
him "to go near and join" the goddess old
man, and in disobedience to advice, the next
day be approached the stately mansion,
trembling. He saw the old man, and was
seen by him. The door was opened. He
expected insult. Instead, two trembling
hands we're extended in welcome, and the
strange words uttered: 81 have been look
ing for visit from you for six weeks. l
have been longing to know more about the
Lord | have so long rejected. The wife
and daughter was called in, and there he
"preaChed unto them Jesus" and all three
soon after believed, and "went on their way
rejoicing" When one is prompted by the
Spirit to speak, it is safe to hope and believe
that the Spirit is prompting to hear.
