Jeremiah 9:1-2 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears… There is an anecdote told of a careless Sabbath breaker who stumbled into Mr. Sherman's chapel one Sunday evening when he was engaged in prayer. He took his stand in the aisle, and, seeing the tears rolling down the minister's cheeks and falling on the book as he was pleading for the conversion of sinners, he was aroused, and said to himself: "This man is evidently in earnest; there must be something in the condition of sinners that I do not understand." He remained, was instructed and converted, and became a useful and steady member of the congregation.
