A story is
told of the mother of Dr. Tucker, an eminent founder of evangelical missions
a generation ago in |
|
She was
busy with her work in the kitchen on a certain forenoon when seized with a
powerful impression in which the Holy Spirit seemed to say, "Pray for
your son." Responsive to the call, she left her work and went immediately
into her bedroom and wrestled in prayer till she touched God and felt a sense
of victory. |
|
On
comparing notes later she learned that her son was surrounded by a murderous
mob of fanatics at the moment she was led to pray. It seemed to him that
death was sure, but in the midst of their fury some strange power got hold of
the mob and they went backward and fell away as by a miracle. |
