Immanuel
When Gypsy Smith was converted as a boy, he became interested in his Uncle
Rodney’s salvation and began to pray for him. In those days it was not considered
proper for a child to speak to his elders unless he was spoken to, especially about
spiritual matters. So the boy prayed and waited for his opportunity.
One day the uncle asked, “Laddie, why are your trousers almost worn out at the
knees?”
The boy answered, “Uncle Rodney, they have been worn out through praying for
you. I want so much for God to make you a Christian.”
The uncle put his arms around the boy, and a few minutes later fell upon his knees
and cried out to God for salvation.
