Teachers Wept All Night

One night two of the men teachers, both preachers' sons, got under terrific conviction.  The cries and loud prayers of one wakened the other (one lived upstairs and one down) and they both wept and prayed most of the night until they found peace with God.  One of them, Paul Wang, was the son of the Chinese district superintendent I had worked with several years.  Rev. Wang Shih-tsing was a very capable administrator and preacher, but there were some questions about his ethics and morals.

Now the son talked to his father about repentance.  I happened to come into the room just then, and I believe if it had been the old days in China when the father could kill his son, Pastor Wang would have done it.  But he finally broke down and confessed his sins.  His wife was released from her inhibitions, and he told me, "Aggie is happy again like she was before we were married." The other young teacher was in war work with me in West China in 1945, and he handled millions of dollars honestly, a rare phenomenon in those times.  These were some of the social benefits of Holy Ghost evangelism.
