The Spirit Illumined the Face of Jesus

One night a lot of our students came home from Pacific Garden Mission full of rejoicing over the number of conversions there had been that night. “We had a great time at the mission to-night,” they said, “a large number of drunkards came to the front and accepted Christ as their Saviour.”

The next day I met Harry Monroe, superintendent of the mission on the street. “Harry,” I said, “the boys tell me you had a great time at the mission last night.” “Would you like to know how it came about?” he answered. “It pleased the Holy Spirit to illumine the face of Jesus, and sinners just saw Him and believed.” It was a rather unique way of putting it but it well stated the truth. It is only when the Holy Spirit bears His testimony to Jesus that men see and believe.
