At one of the meetings in Bradford, a man and wife were deeply moved but they hung back and neither of them rose to accept Christ. As they went home together that night the wife said to the husband, “Would it not have been nice if we had both risen together and accepted Christ tonight?” He replied, “Yes, it would.” In the middle of the night she awakened her husband and complained of feeling ill and in a few moments had passed into eternity. It was her last opportunity to make a public confession of Christ and she had thrown it away.
After the man had laid his wife’s body away in the cemetery he came to the meeting and told the story and publicly accepted Christ.
