I WILL WORK AND WHO SHALL HINDER –Part #1- Chapter 12 Page 57 Signs and Wonders book
“I next went to Summitville, Indiana, and commenced the meeting on Wednesday, February 25, 1885. The house was crowded the first night. The crowd was made up of infidels, skeptics and scoffers were church members. A few of God’s children stood by me praying for victory. Most everyone said, “She will make a failure here,” and were hoping it would be a failure. I went in the strength of God, knowing that He that was for me was more than those who were against me. I arose and told them that God was coming in power, that many of them would be at the altar that night, crying out for mercy. I saw some laughing, as if to say, you do not know us.
I commenced singing, “Let me in the lifeboat.” The Holy Ghost fell upon me. God made them to see the lifeboat on the ocean of eternity, and them drifting away into darkness and despair, down to an awful hell. I led in prayer. When I arose, the silence of death reigned over the house. They were trembling under conviction. While I was preaching, God sent every word like arrows, dipped in the blood of Jesus, to their hearts. After preaching, I called for sinners to come forward. There was a rush for the altar. It was soon crowed. Those who had opposed me most were the first to come. Some who would not yield were stricken down as dead in different part of the house. There were many bright conversions the first night. The work went on increasing in interest for one week. About five hundred were saved in the church.”
