The Heart of Stone Relents

Another consumptive in the neighborhood, was thoroughly an infidel. Mr. A. visited the house three times a week, and, at last, succeeded in overcoming his objections to a weekly prayer-meeting in his house. In his hearing, earnest supplication was always made for him, and, at the end of four months, the heart of stone relented. He had not, at first, the courage to appropriate the promises to himself; but on« morning very early he sent for the missionary to reveal the

news that be felt all his sins forgiven, and had Christ m him, the hope of glory.” Four months more he lived to bear witness continually to God’s amazing mercy, and then joyfully expired, declaring himself saved by grace alone.
