"All right. Would you like to come to the waiting room where this man's wife is sitting? I'll<br />
tell you about Jesus."<br />
"Vy not?" he said again.<br />
We sat down on the sofa. I began to tell him he was a sinner and why he needed a Saviour.<br />
I quoted scriptures from the Old Testament to him. All of a sudden he began to cry.<br />
I said, "What are you crying about?"<br />
"Oh, I'm just remembering all my sins that I did ven I vas a little boy. I remember ven I vas<br />
eight years old I stole an apple from the grocer. I remember that -- ven I vas such a tief, I vas such<br />
a tief."<br />
He was crying, and I was praising the Lord for the faithfulness of the Holy Spirit in<br />
reminding a man that was eighty years old of the sins that he committed when he was a child in<br />
Russia. Now he was weeping more and more profusely. He pulled a gold, blue and white farmer's<br />
handkerchief from his pajama pocket, blew his nose and wiped his eyes. I felt he was sufficiently<br />
under conviction for sin, so I proceeded to press upon his heart the claims of Jesus as his only<br />
Saviour.<br />
"Now," I said, "I'm going to pray for you. You want me that I should pray?"<br />
"Vy not?"<br />
So I prayed for him. When I finished, I said, "Now you pray."<br />
"Out loud?"<br />
"Yes."<br />
"I don't vant to."<br />
"All right. You don't have to pray out loud."<br />
"Do you have to hear me?" he asked.<br />
"No, I really don't, but I'd like to."<br />
"I don't vant you to hear me."<br />
"All right. Just so God hears you. That is the most important -- that God should hear you.<br />
Go ahead. Just pray in your heart then."
