Then I told them how I had been saved, how long I had been saved, and what He had done
for me. For nearly forty-five minutes I preached Jesus to this great group -- kind Jews who never
once stopped me, but listened to me with hunger. As a result, I have had access into many of the
homes of those to whom I spoke. Many, many times since, I have stopped at the home of this kind
rabbi and his wife. I have stayed with them overnight. They have told many Christian people in
their little town that little by little they are being drawn to Jesus the Messiah. Not long ago the wife
said to me, "Every time you come to see us we feel we are one step closer to the Lord Jesus
Christ."
As yet I have not heard of them becoming believers, but it is good to trust the Word and
leave them in God's hands.

PROPAGANDA FOR A COMMUNIST
I felt a strange urge and leading to go to the big, downtown stores in St. Louis. I dislike
shopping and rarely do it. As I was leaving one of the stores, I saw two young men with clip
boards upon which were petition papers. Hanging around their necks were newspaper bags. On
them was written in red letters, "Vote Communism." I passed by, crossed the street and stood
watching the hundreds of people milling past. It was the noon hour.
As I studied the boys, I knew that one of them was definitely Jewish. I'm sure he was
scarcely sixteen years old, because he had not started shaving yet. The Holy Ghost told me to cross
back over and He would give me the words to say to these young men.
I approached the Jewish lad and said, "Shame on you, such a nice Jewish boy selling
Communism on the streets. Do your mother and father know this?"
He said, "How did you know I'm Jewish?"
"I believe God."
"I don't," he said, "I'm an atheist,"
"So," I said, "if you're an atheist and don't believe the Bible, how do you know you are
Jewish?"
"Well," he grinned sheepishly, "you've lost me, lady."
"Good," I said, "I want you to get lost worse than this."
I told him I, too, had been through that "atheist bit," and it did not bring me peace or joy,
but I did find it all in Israel's Messiah, Jesus.
