"OUT OF A HORRIBLE PIT"
Illustration★★★I knew a man who had a bit of board. He said,
“When they pulled down the old chapel, I went in and
sawed it out; it was the board from the kneeling part
of the Communion-rail, where,” he said, “I was kneel-
ing when God spake pardon to my soul. Whenever
the devil comes and says it was all a delusion, I say,
‘Never’; I up and at him with the bit of board on which
I was kneeling when God saved me” (Ps. xl. 2).

The point
