A friend of mini) was preaching in ! Ujdo Park ouo afternoon to a goodly number of usual frequenters, and as he wao uu tho point of dismissing his I audience, at the conclusion ol his address he was slopped by some one touching 1 him on the arm. lie turned round, and j saw a man whose appearance and attire \ evidently showed that ho huilod 'from j the country,* who addressing the preach- j or, earnestly begged to bo allowed to j speak a word to the people, and tell j them the etory of his conversion, which 1 had taken pla:c but a few weeks be- i fore. At 6rst my friend demurred, know- ] ing the prejudices of Londoners, and , at the same time fearing the man might ! undo the impression already made. However, as he persisted ui his request, aud only asked for a few minutes' time, my friend thought, 'Well, I can oasily stop him if 1 find be is ou tho wr ing tack,' so he told him he might stand on the chair and say what was on bis mind. 11c spoke with a broad country accent, and this, with his happy face and heart felt manner, secured hi:u a riveted at tention. His story was to the following effect: 'The gentleman who bus just spoke to I you has given mo leave to toll you J what's in my heart. I am a poor la- i borinp man. and never being no scholar i I you'll excuse my simple way, nnd let mo tell you how the l.ord saved my soul: »I was ploughing for my master in a l field besilo tho road, aud ju.t sat down j agon the fence nearest to it to have my bit of bread and cheese, tho horsc3 standing m tho furrow at tho headlands, when 1 sees a gentleman leaning over the gate looking out at the prospect. I'rescutly he spies inc, aud comes across . the gate to where I was sitting, lie i said it was a lino day, atd 1 said it was so by the blessing of God, as we always j says down in them parts, Ihinkingnoth ing about God all tho time. Howsum ever, ho pulls nic up sharp, though in a kindly voice ; says he : 'Do yon know the blessing of God in saving your soul ?' It took ino aback, and I says: 'Of course, we all wanU to be saved, and hopes we (hull aforo welcome to die.' Then he spoke a great d-.:! t no j as I never heard tho likes iu my life— . about being born again and all to that ' away. Hofore he goes, he takes out a ; book and says : 'I should like to give you this; and j will you read this chapter where I turn tho leaf down !' 1 thanked him with my heart but told him 1 was no scholar, never having had no book lam ing. •Well, says he, 'ucvcr mind that; you got the first person you soo that can road, to read this chapter to you.' So ha left the book, and I've never seen him from that time. 'After a bit, as 1 sat on the bank, thinking in a dazed way of what I had beon told, with my mind all in a mud dle, I hears a boy coming lumping along home from school, whistling soma tune himself. Thinks 1, 'He'll do!' So lj calls, 'Hey, boy! Oomo here" H# conies over. So I tells him to sit down just thoro beside nie, and read to me outot a book a gentleman gave me. I axed him, 'Can you read 1 'Ay, can I, and write my own name, j too.' 'lie reads away, and 1 sits listening i j with al! my might. He reads about a man what came to Josns by night, and I I ueyer knew anything to take such hold on ov; a' them word* did. I lia.! offer. ' heard sermons with fine long word*, | but these ctfrne light home to me ; and I I was wholly stainincd ■ when ho read J aboul lifingborn again, fW that wus what, i the gentleman was saying to mo before, j Then 1 lost what he road for a bit, for I thinking to myself, 'Except a man he j hoin again, he cannot SRO the kingdom lof heaven.' Now, T •vant to go to : heaven, and I always t. "«rht if a man ! did the best h« ooph' * • ..ill h ; s wiy, i .nnl i.'ivad • J. n. ;7 •re could ' ho tlo, and ho wotihl sue,/ iju'to heaven iat tho end ; hut this floored mo—this j being born again—! was sure I wiwm't j this, though I didn't know rightly what |it meant. I knew I ought to he differ ent to what I was, but this sccuiod j something beyond me, and didn't tnean my being different in myself, but out of myself altogether, something straight fiom heaven, and I kept thinking these thoughts, and wondering. Then 1 again caught up with the boy reading, am! the words lie read made my hMirt jump with tho strange feeling that I had got it at last, and vet hadn't got it, and was frightened of losing it. 1 called \ out to him to stop and read that last over again. As ht read what ho told | uio was tho sixteenth verse, the light I began to shine iu ou my heart, and I 1 thought this is what being boru again j uican.i, this explains it. I knoiv, now, j it was tho Iluly Spirit of God through • them words, 'For God so loved the ! world that 110 gave Ilis only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Iliui should not perish, but have everlasting I iifo.' j 'Yet I couldn't half think it wa- for IUC ; and there was ono word that seoru | ed to me the chief word, that I couldn't 1 understand ; so I axed tho boy : ! 'Can you tell me what that thcro w.iid 'whosoever' means!' But he i seemed to kuow it as little as myscii: he igoked this way and as . b;ys do, but oouldu't see the ticaning nowhorcs; then he said : 'I can't for the life of me tell you what it means.' Rut I wasn't to bopu! off, I was too anxious, so I urged hiui to think again. 'You're such a good scholar, and can write your own nama, surely you kuow what this word meaus !' i 'No,' ho says, '1 dou't know what it ! means, unless it means you, me or any i body else.' I "Well,' says I, 'why didn't you say i that at first! 1 can understand that • easy ouough. Now, read that verse over again, if you please, aud put them words in instead of the long one. So he real ovor again : 1 "For God so loved tho world that lie gave His ouly begotten Son, that you, me, or anybody else, believing in him should not perish, but have everlastiug life.' 'I lifted up my heart aid thanked God there and then, for such mercy to ] a sinner like me. His love wns so won derful, and those words made it all plain that it was forme. I got tho boy to say tho words over again, walking by ' mc ns I wcut on with my ploughing, un til I knew them mysrlf as well. The | rest of that aftcrnoou my heart was sin : ping for joy, and as I followed tho plough up and down in tho furrow I I kept repeating tho words ovax & myself, ' getting fresh understanding of tlicni ! every tune i 'After I had baited my horses, and ! put them out in tho yard for the uight, I I went home, and the first thing 1 says ! to my wife when I g'ets in was : | "Wife, with tho blessing of God'— and I meant it this time—'my fortune's ' made ! For this very day I have re ceived everlasting life.' Sho said, 'Thank God, thcu, my prayeis are an swered.' Sho had bees a Christian wo ; man for a long time, aud often I j given her sorrow through my ways. '■Rut how did you come by it ?' she asked. 'Then I read to her or, rather said it to her, though I opened the book, tho 16th verso of tho 3d of John. 'I was so full of my new-found happi ness, that as soon as 1 had my supper, I felt 1 must go down and tell my mates I tho good news, thinking, of course, theyd !be glad to hear it. We were accustom ed to ineot at tho public in the village street, oalled tho 'Fleece,' and I think now it's A good name for lucb places, for it's just there a follow disss got pro perly fleeocd, as I havo proved muny's the time. We used to meet there to ! talk all the gossip of the oountry ; it was i a regular seandal shop. So I goes down ! there this uight with my Testament in ! try pocket. When I gets there my I mates, aud the landlord especially, Le ' gin by crying out how late I am, that | I must havo something very good to , tell, and so on. Then when they arc i i * quiet, 1 fells thcui what I tolled my wife, antl pulls out my Testament and I says tho verse to them : j "For Gad so loved tho world, that | Ho gave His only begotten Sot:, that , whosoever- that means you, tic, or atiy i body else —bsheveth in nim should not ! perii.h, but have everlasting life.' i Well, they rtai .>d ut hut ha-! rot a word to say . at Inst, the htfdlord spoke up. I suppose he saw that if fill • ; camo to this way of thinking ihelo would bo an end to his trade, so ho .! says ! "Come, we don't wan't any of that i sort of cant here : wo have enough ! preaching on Sunday by lamed men, without ycu sotting up to bo so good 1 ' I answers him : 'ls that the way it is j landlord ? Well, it opens my eyes 1 plain, what tho friendship of tho world's ' worth. I would conio hero and talk all j manner of b'.iff about any one, and anything, no matter how low, or drink till I was scarce able to find my way ' home, and 1 was welcome ; but new th.it I my soul i saved 1 musn't speak about ! that, nor about my Savior. Then 1 cau't come here any more, indeed. ] j Here's the throe shillings I owe you, i good-by. Old mates, 1 would to God j J you would take tho word of Jesus, and thank hiui for it.' Rut the mole they | laughed at me ; only two, 1 believe, and j thank God for theui, gave any hoed. | One of thcin was a young chap who had ' been converted before, aud me and my mates had drawn hiui back among u; ; he followed me out, with tears iu his j eyes, and said, Oh, pray for mc; 1 have dishonored my Savior, I have left hiin ! Will he rective mo back/' And He did, as lie ever will. Tnat young man is rejoicing a';ain iu Christ.
