I remember laboring with a man in Chicago. It was past midnight before he got down on his knees, but down he went, and was converted. I said: “Now, don’t think you are going to get out of the devil’s territory without trouble. The devil will come to you to-morrow morning and say it was all feeling; that you only imagined you were accepted by God. When he does, don’t fight him with your own opinions, but fight him with John vi. 37: “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.’ Let that be the “sword of the Spirit.” “The struggle came sooner than I thought. When he was on his way home the devil assailed him. He used this text, but the devil put this thought into his mind: ‘How do you know Christ ever said that after all? Perhaps the translators made a mistake.’ Into darkness he went again. He was in trouble till about two in the morning. At last he came to this conclusion. Said he:

‘I will believe it anyway; and when I get to Heaven, if it isn’t true, I will just tell the Lord I didn’t make the mistake–the translators made it.’
