SILENCED



William Hague Wood turned infidel recently. He attended a revival meeting several nights at High Shoals & ran an opposition meeting outside the church.

He made mighty addresses & declared that the preachers were talking nonsense. He said they were frauds & were deceiving the people.

On Sunday his tongue was paralyzed while he was making a speech ridiculing the church. This frightened his hearers, who broke for the church. At night Wood attended the meeting & handed up the following note to the preacher in charge:

"I now believe that there is a hell & that I am doomed for it. Pray for me."

There was a great sensation in the congregation & in less than five minutes the altar would not accomodate half the mourners.

Ps 7:12 (GNT): “If they do not change their ways, God will sharpen his sword. He bends his bow and makes it ready.”

“The Judge will pass sentence, not according to what any other person has said concerning you, but according to what you have yourself spoken. They that are accused, then, have no fear, but they that accuse.” -  John Chrysostom.
