Personal Influence in Conversion
Luke 1:15-16
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink…


Dr. Tyng, speaking of personal influence, mentions a young lady whom no storms of snow or rain ever kept from her class. One after another of her scholars, he says, would come to him, and when he would ask the question, "What has led you to seek a Saviour's love?" they would mention her name, until, he says, " I traced twenty.five, at least, of my young people who were converted through her prayers and labours, and among them that beloved son of mine, at whose bedside I sat for sixteen long hours, wondering why God had taken him and left me behind. This was the character of that girl. Nothing kept her back."
