A TESTIMONY FROM A.B. EARLE

TOPIC: Now Is The Accepted Time
SUBTOPIC: Not An Hour From Now
TITLE: All For Jesus

One of my very best hearers in a meeting in New York, was Post Master Wilkinson. He was very anxious to become a Christian, but could not be prevailed upon to make any movement until the last day, and the last hour of the meetings. He would neither rise for prayers nor go into the inquiry meeting, or kneel with us, yet he was greatly convicted of his sins.

But the last hour of the meetings, I asked those who could do nothing more and yet desired religion to raise up their hand. As Mr. Wilkinson began to raise his hand, he rose to his feet, and stretched up his hand high. This act had so affected him that he came near us at the desk, and wished to settle the question there.

We knelt and prayed with and for him, and at once he found peace. It was now four oclock, P. M., and I must leave in thirty minutes. Mr. Wilkinson put his name on my blank book and said, as he left me: All the rest of my life for Jesus.

He left the room and had just forty-five minutes of life for Jesus, no more, and went into eternity. I thought then and feel the same now, that I would urge each one to seek Christ at once. You may not have forty-five minutes for Jesus. I speak to every one whose eye rests on this page.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12, KJV).

Now is the time to receive Him as Saviour and Lord!
