Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Revival in Manchuria
On Monday morning, immediately after breakfast, ex-elder D was announced. He desired to see me in private. He began in a low, sad voice, saying that he felt ashamed to come but he had to do so. He could not look me in the face with out shame, and he could not lift his heart to God until he had straightened out matters with me. I asked, What things, Mr. D Do you remember, he said, that about ten years ago Deacon M died, and that he had at the time Of his death a certain sum Of money in trust, belong ing to the Church? Yes, I remembered. DO you remember, he continued, that my firm was security for this money, and that the Church accepted interest on it while the family were unable to pay? Yes, I remembered. Then the Boxer trouble arose, and you got the Church to cancel the debt, in View of the losses the Christians had sustained at that time? Yes, that was so. Pastor, he sobbed, the M family prospered afterwards. They paid the money to me, and I never said anything about it to you. Yesterday, when Mr. Goforth spoke, I became very uneasy and unhappy, I have not slept all night, and I have come to make this confession to you, and to ask you to pray the Lord to forgive this my great Sin.
