Evidence: | Confession of invalid convict George Day:
'I hope I prayed but found little peace, until I heard the doctor pressing on our attention the words of God, contained in the third chapter of John, verse thirty-six, and the fifth chapter, verse twenty fourth. I could scarcely believe it to be true at the time, for it seemed as though a voice spoke to me "He that believeth in the son have everlasting life". I was astonished!' |
