Date Of Conversion

Some can tell the time of their conversion, giving day and date, the hour, the providence, the place, the text, the preacher, and all the circumstances associated with it. They can show the arrow, which, shot from some bow drawn at a venture, pierced the joints of their armor, and quivered in their heart. They can show the pebble from the brook, that, slung, it may be, by a youthful hand, but directed of God, was buried in the forehead of their giant sin. It is not so however with all, or perhaps with most.

Some, so to speak, are still born; they were unconscious of their change; they did not know when or how it happened; for a while at least they gave hardly a sign of life.— GUTHRIE.
