From Drunk to Disciple

Rev. John Morrison of Petty was on his way home to the manse one day when he found a drunken woman lying by the roadside. He attempted to rouse her, but she responded by saying that if he would chant a tune that she would get up and dance. Morrison began a tune and she danced . . . a man close by tried to shoo her away, but Morrison said, "Let her alone, she is not tired yet. This is the last reel she will ever dance." The pastor's prediction came true: when she later got over her intoxication, she was filled with great shame and remorse. She was convicted of her sin, and this led to her repentance. The former drunkard became a new creation in Christ Jesus.
