Brother Moody, l want to be a
Christian
You've come to the right person
and place.
So Moody talked to her, used all
the argument he could thmink of. He
was just getting discouraged. Final
ly he happened to think of that situa-
ton of the pendulum and the clock.
On the first day of January the pen
dulum sat down and figured out how
many times it would have to tick in
a year. Getting up in the billions it
threw down the pencil and said. NO
use, nobody can hold out to tick that
long. | won't try it,
Accepts
Jesus Christ
But then it thought, But it's only
a tick at time
! She looked at Moody and said,
Brother Moody, will tick the first
tick now" and she fell on her knees.
When she got up she said, Folks, l
accept Jesus as my Savior"
She turned to Moody and said, 81
have licked two ticks"
He said, Right sister, go out and
tell others
She came back the next day and
| Sdlus L nave llChSQ IL IlCkS SINCE L
saw you last night
She invited Moody home to dinner
| She gave him a beautiful clock, gold
hands and figures on the dial, dec
GRATED with Jewels She said, "You
take this home and If anybody asks
you the story you say it is only tick
at time.
If you go to his late home in North
field you will see it on the mantle.
Tick your tick now. The crepe may
flutter from your doorknob tomorrow.
Behold, now is the accepted time.
Now is the day of salvation"
And God will remove the stumbling
black out of your way, then what?
He will give you the assurance of
peace and salvation, and when you be-
gin to live out your belief, your belief
begins to grow and take form and
shape like PygmaIion's statue of
GaIatea.
When he started to carve he had
nothing but a piece of repulsive mar
BILE and at last there stood before him
the beautiful form of Galatea and
when you try to live out your belief,
your belief takes form and shape.
We see it in everything. In music.
l can't read music to save my life.
, can't do it. I will bet you there are
, a lot of folks in that choir that can't
, read music. Rody can read it, but
! most people that sing, sing by ear.
u You can sing Brighten the Corner
: Where You Are" but can you read the
music? No. They will open the book
) and read the sharps and flats and
? measures and sextets, run the chro
matte scale like squirrel climbs a
tree. So we all know, Brighten the
Corner Where You Are" we all know
1 "Since Jesus Came Into My Heart
. Most of us sing that by sound and moi
. by note. You are willing to do the
best you can.
