Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot. At one of Mr. Moody's meetings in Belfast, the Rev. Wesley Guard mentioned an incident of which he said the facts had just been related to him. It was to the effect that a farmer, living three miles out in the country, wanted to come into the meeting one day, but was unexpectedly detained, and did not know how he would get there in time. He started, and presently he heard a car coming behind him. When it came up the vehicle was stopped, and the man said to the driver, "Thank you, sir, for giving me a lift." "I did not offer you a lift; but as the horse stopped you had better get up." The farmer got up, and they drove on. After a little conversation the driver confessed that he was in great distress about his soul, and the tears began to fall. The good man told him the way of life, and there and then as they journeyed on the car the gentleman found salvation. Said he, "I can see now why the horse stopped; it was that I might get into the light."
