FOREWORD

Whole libraries have been written on Christianevidences. The resources of philosophic and scientificresearch have been drawn up in defence of the Christianfaith. Yet important as these are, it may be questionedwhether any or all of them together bring home to the heartsuch conviction as does the story of a redeemed soul—a soullifted out of the fearful pit and miry clay—cleansed, purifiedand established in righteousness. Whatever intellectualdifficulties may occur, a countenance illumined with a light thatis not of this world is irresistible.

Henry Ward Beecher spoke of a nest of infidels he hadencountered upon whom argument made little impression.There lived in the same village a humble washerwoman ofsingularly beautiful character. When asked what theythought of her the sceptics were silenced. Harold Begbiesays of Old Born Drunk that "he advertised salvation.Before the miracle of Old Born Drunk the arguments of thetavern atheist melted into thin air."

We are indebted to Mrs. Goforth for having gathered fromher long experience in China a series of instances asconvincing as any told by Harold Begbie in "Twice BornMen." They are not the outcome of generations of development, forChina has no religious background. They are miracles ofgrace. Luther said, "God is the God of the humble, themiserable, the oppressed, the desperate, of them that arenaught. It is His nature to give sight to the blind, to comfortthe broken hearted and to justify the ungodly."

The divine nature is beautifully and impressively illustratedby these stories of redeemed and glorified ones whoseafter life verified the reality of the miraculous change. He isable to save unto the uttermost. With Him there is plenteousredemption. Go ye, therefore, and tell it out.
