As a result of one woman's conversion who had listened to testimonies given at a street meeting, several families of her relatives and several families of her acquaintances were saved, some miraculously healed. And she, for years, headed the corps of workers who visit the hospitals and other institutions in and around Portland. In giving her testimony she said:
"I was a broken-hearted woman when Jesus found me, an awful sinner. I had sin in my life that would put me behind the prison bars, but I was proud and haughty. I came out West and tried the theatres and other pleasures of this world but I would come home and cry myself to sleep and wonder what was the matter with me.
"I heard these people on the street corner one Saturday night, and Jesus Christ convicted my soul. I went home and told my brother I would rather have what these people had than anything else in the world. Ten days later I came to the church and got down on my knees, and cried out to God for mercy. I didn't care who heard me pray. God saved my soul and took the burden of sin away. He took the love of the world out of my heart. He also took the heartaches out and gave me joy and peace and happiness.
"God sent me back over my crooked path. I went to three department stores and confessed what I had stolen. I had set fire to a rooming house to get the insurance. I kept that crime covered up for eight years. Nobody knew it but God and myself. God gave me the grace to straighten it up, and they forgave me the crime. He has kept me true to Him through these many years, and I am thankful for His faithfulness to my soul."
