Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 July 1907 — At the Revival. [ARTICLE]
At the Revival.
A revival meeting was in progress somewhere and Sister Jones was called upon for a testimony. Being humble she said: “I do not feel as tho 1 should stand here and give testimony. I have been a transgressor for a good many years, and have only recently seen the light. I believe that my place is in a dark corner, behind the door.” Brother Smith was next called upon. Fol lowing the example set by Sister Jones, he said, “I, too, have been a sinner for more than forty years and J do not think it would be fitting for me to stand before the as sembly as a model. 1 think my place is behind the door in a dark corner, with Sister Jones.” And he wondered why the meeting was convulsed with laughter of those who came to pray.
