and anxious about me, but now you can be at rest. It is God Himself
who has made me take this step, who was too strong for me, and there is
no turning back."

That was Mrs. Lue's story. What joy it brought to us as we stood and
listened to that testimony. She had spoken truly, "there was no
turning back," and so there was only grateful praise in our heart, no
fear for the future, for the victory had been won once for all. Mrs.
Lue's conversion was like that of the Apostle Paul, a radical change;
and like him she began to preach boldly the Truth in Christ Jesus. All
who saw and heard her marvelled and could not understand what had
brought about such a change. Over and over again she had to tell the
wonderful story of her conversion, and it made a deep impression on
many.

The vegetarian leaders were angry, and came time after time to try and
win her back, sometimes by earnest pleading, at other times by threats
and denunciations. But she remained firm, and to each party confessed
that it was God who had called her. It was in His almighty power that
she had been constrained to give up her vow and seek salvation in
Christ Jesus, and she could not resist Him. He had done for her what
no human power could ever have accomplished. She told them it was no
use trying to persuade her to go back, for she would never serve any
one but the Lord Jesus, so they might as well leave her in peace to go
her own road. Her old friends and instructors did not like it, but
while they threatened, she remained calm and spoke kindly to them, and
even suggested that they too should believe; whereupon they began to
curse her in their rage.

Steadily Mrs. Lue went on growing in the knowledge of Christ. She
continued her reading, and soon began to teach others. About six or
seven months later she and her husband were baptized together into the
Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They returned to their home,
full of joy in the Lord, and with the earnest desire to live for Him
who had died for them, and to show forth His salvation from day to day.

CHAPTER XV

SAVED TO SERVE

But the story does not end here. It is possible to go on to tell a
little of the life of Mrs. Lue as a follower of Him whose Name she
bears. The more we saw of Mr. and Mrs. Lue the more we loved and
appreciated them, and many happy hours were spent in true fellowship
with them and a few other Christians at Kucheng. We felt indeed that
