The letter concluded with the words, ''How dare you, being conscious of the truth of all the above, pray and speak to the people this evening, when you are such a vile sinner.''
2. North put the letter into his pocket and when the time came, entered the pulpit. Before he began his message, he pulled the letter out of his pocket, and told the crowded congregation what it said. North then said to the people, ''All that is here said is true, and it is a correct picture of the degraded sinner that I once was; and oh how wonderful must the grace be that could quicken and raise me up from such a death in trespasses and sins, and make me what I appear before you tonight, a vessel of mercy, one who knows that all his past sins have been cleansed away through the atoning blood of the Lamb of God.''1

Gone is the guilt of my sin, Peace is now reigning within; Since I believed-pardon received- Happy, so happy I've been. 2
4. As Christians, we are but vessels of mercy whose sins have been cleanse ...
