HOW THE BOY PREACHER GOT IT.
Here is the account of Harrison's con-
version in his own words. 1t occurred
December 81, 1869, at midnight, while he
was leaning against lamp-post in
Boston:
Il said, good Lord, excuse me just
now; let me go home; | can't get down
here in the snow and cry for mercy The
snow will blind me; the wind will pierce
through me; let me 60 home and get
where it is warm, and l will give you my
heart" Then there came a voice louder
than the blast Of that December night
Now or never l believe it had crossed
the hill that was just before me at that
moment and resisted Gods spirit, he
would never have come to me again, and
| should have been lost [ protested, but
the voice said, I'll hold back the stroke
of the bell while for one minute you look
to me. 1t seemed long time between
those two strokes of the bell, and thank
God before the eleventh stroke rang ouI
on the air, the pent up feelings of my
poor heart broke forth in one strong cry
Now, and the two 'nows' came together
Gods spirit answering to my own in ar
instant and l found myself saved-re-
deemed. II was all right in the twinklinG
of an eye. I met the conditions; Coo
blessed me.
