Preas, Pab= Member of the Uni Mehed daily by 7 ime Co, Sudden Repentance ; » Underwood, an Ohio According to evidence in coyrt, Joe Underwood, a man, was out one night in a lonely road, when suddenly he saw a great light on high, Realization of the enormity of h sins rushed upon him, His soul was posse ssed of a mighty | He repented, with meeknes of spirit R G. Patterson, that he had treated Mrs. Underwood worse than any Christian would treat a mean cow, and begged forgiveness About a week later Rey, Patterson found Joseph in his kitchen sharpening his knife, and, after some mutual exchange of opin oseph told his father-in-law that it sire for freedom from evil ways. Then he went home, told his father-in-law, Rev “jon regarding would be a real pleasure to hang for cutting his throat Joseph had evidently backslid; taken the toboggan for the pit, as they call it out west. This story is not such a very uncommon one, Perhaps the very reader of this has had a somewhat similar experience. persons, A poor, weak, guilty sinner goes out into the deep, dark night. After he has been out in the night long enough, he find himself in some lonely road, or some place the what of which he does not recognize. Then a great light appears overhead times there are half a dozen lights. The influence of these | is to make him repent, often to the extent of tears and remorse diluted with more tears. Then he goes home, after the lights have disappeared, and forgives everybody and beseeches for giveness of everybody. And when the repentance wears off he is quite likely to see genuine pleasure in chasing father-in-law up a tree to save his throat, or in boiling mother-in-law in oil, or in treating their daughter meaner than an obstreperous cow The lesson to be learned from this is that the repentance that comes to a man when he is out at night, in a lonely road and seeing bright lights, is wholly ephemeral. It is much safer to go into court or to climb a trolley pole than rely on it. Still, it’s pretty nearly as good as most other forms of sudden repentance.
