Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography of Rev. Charles H. Sage: A Member of the East Michigan Conference, Free Methodist Church; Embracing an Account of His Pioneer Work in Michigan, of the Formation of the Canada Conference and of His Labors in Various States My only object in writing this book is to glorify God and advance his cause. I have no desire to make a display of what I have done, but I do desire to show what God is able to do with very common people, if they are only saved and will walk in the light as Gad is in the light. While God has often called great men to do his bidding, he has also called a David with his sling and smooth stones to kill Goliath; a Joseph to save his people from starvation; a Gideon with pitcher and lamp to redeem Israel. Joshua took Jericho without a battering-ram. The walls fell down flat. It was God and not man who gave the victory. In my weakness and ignorance I have felt many times that I was a failure. Then when I would read how God fed thousands with what a lad could carry in a basket, and how he restored the sight of a blind man by anointing his eyes with a little dust wet with spittle, I have taken courage and have felt truly that God was able to take the weak and foolish things to confound the mighty. I trust that this simple story of my life will be the means of encouraging honest souls to do all they can for Christ even though they may not be as well prepared for service as they might desire. I send it forth in the name of the Master. Please look on what God has wrought, and not on my mistakes and common language.
