wished 1t were more. 2 The next day
passing from the hotel to the audi
forum to a question meeting, this
gentleman put slip of paper in my
my hand, which l supposed was a
question, and l thrust it into my coat
pocket. On the platform drew it
forth as one of the questions to be
found it was check for $1,000. The
man had not been asked for one cent
but the love of God had captivated
his heart and gotten control--not
only of it, but Of his pocket-book and
all. He wished to show the Lord his
appreciation Of the Love Divine, the
length and breadth and height and
depth of which he now comprehend
ed, as never before.
Another case: l met with a Con-
vention of Bible Students in Chatta-
nooga some five years ago. A gentle
man attended who introduced him
self to me saying that he was from
Mississippi and that he had become
deeply interested in my presenta-
ticns Of the harmony Of the Word of
God. He said in substance: Brother
Russell, will not attempt to tell you
how wicked man was before l got
your literature. My dear wife here,
an earnest Methodist, said to me,
John, John, you will surely go to
hell!' | replied to her, Mary, I know
it! know it! And, Mary l am deter
mined that / will deserve all that

lesk in my store. | said that this
was different form anything i ever
understood respecting the teaching
of the Bible. 1t seems more God
like and more rational. | sent to you
for various Bible Students Helps.
The result, dear Brother Russell, is
that the Love of God, has constrained
me, has conquered me, ina way that
the doctrines of develish torments
could not influence me. Now | see
the true teaching of Gods Word. I
| can honor him and worship him and
take pleasure in laying down my life
in his service. have made full con-
secration of everything. For a time
sent you a $50 check every month ;
but, Brother Russell, that was in the
nature of conscience-money, because
/ the most profitable feature of my
store trade was the sale of liquor to
the Mississippi negroes, These checks
stopped, ) because, as the grace of God
more and more filled and overfiowed
my heart, it brought me to see that
must love my neighbor as myself and
do injury to none. That is ait gone
now, Brother Russell, and my whole
life is devoted to the service of God
and my fellowmen."
Three murderers confined in the Co
lumbus, Ohio, penitentiary had from
childhood been trained in the doc
trines of eternal torment in different
churches and yet committed murder
Those men under Gods providence
received some of our literature
i Scripture Studies ''-and were cut
to the heart when they learned of the
Love of God, as expressed in the Di-
vine Plan of the Ages. To be brief:
A knowledge of the Love of God
made such a change in the hearts
and lives of those three murderers
that the prison-keepers took knowl-
edge Of them that they had been with
Jesus and had learned of him. By
and by they were paroled and today
two Of them are preaching the Cos
pei of the Love of God, seeking to
bring their .fellowmen out of the
condition of darkness and sin into
the glorious sunlight of Divine Love
