When God finds a man who’s willing
And hungry for holy filling
He fills him, like water jars, up to the brim.
God is never known for failing,
Nor “short,” nor unavailing,
When a man is sold all out to Him.

“…I have been among Episcopalians, Congregationalists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists and members of many other denominations, and I have found that no amount of baptismal water can keep the devil out of the hearts and lives of Christians.”
– Jonathan Goforth, By My Spirit, (Minneapolis: Bethany Fellowship, Inc), 119.
Goforth (went to China), probably the greatest Canadian missionary, died this date 10/8/1936.
(underline mine) [Goforth is not saying devil has to stay but water will not keep him out.]
