He signified his desire
[FONT=Times New Roman]He signified his desire [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]of being admitted, but was told that it was not customary to receive strangers into their meetings; however, if he behaved decently, he might come in. The pas¬sage of scripture under consideration that evening, was acts xvi, 28 : "do thyself no harm." after several persons had made their remarks upon [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]Monster Beats[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman] the subject, they concluded, as usual, with prayer. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]Monster Headphones[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman] This they had no sooner done, than the stranger asked them how they came [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman]Beats Headphones[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman] to know his thoughts; for he had not mentioned his intention to any person on earth. This surprised the whole company, who de¬clared they had neither seen nor heard of him till that evening. He then told them of his design of taking away his life, and how he had been prevent¬ed by seeing a light in their window. This remarka¬ble providence affected his mind to such a degree, that, by the divine blessing, it was made the means of his conversion; he became an eminent christian, regained the favour of his friends, and lived in reputa¬tion and comfort. Hospitality rewarded. A woman who resided, a few years ago, near eden- derry, in ireland, owed her landlord fourteen pounds, and, being unable to pay the whole, she collected half that sum, which she brought him; but he re¬fused to take less than the full amount, yet detained her in talk till the evening, when she returned. When she was within a mile of home, she overtook a soldier, who was much tired, and entreated her to let him ride with her in her car, to which she at length consented. When they came to her house, finding there was no town within two miles, he beg¬ged he might sit by the fire-side till the morning. She told him she durst not suffer it, as hers was a lone house, and there were none in it but herself and her little girl; but, at length, she agreed to give him the use of one of the beds. At midnight, two men, who had blackened their faces, broke into the house, and demanded her money. She said, " then let me go into the next room, and fetch it." going in, she said to the soldier, " you have requited me well for my kindness, by bringing your comrades to rob my house." he asked, "where are they?" she re¬plied, " in the next room." he rushed in to them ; the men immediately ran away; he pursued them, and shot one of them dead, who proved to be her landlord! A very similar case occurred in holland, in the year 1785.[/FONT]
