I thank God for an opportunity to try to tell you what the Lord has done for me. If it weren’t for the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ I would not be here. It took a real miracle to place me in the glorious light. Ever since the Lord saved me I have been walking in that narrow way. I don’t feel like I am confi ned. I have perfect liberty, because He lives in my heart. There is so much light on this road, it is a pleasure to walk, and far in the distance are the glowing lights of liberty.

I thank God that He called me when I was in sin. I was in an awful shape, possessed with a vile temper and blasphemous mouth, full of hatred, envy, and covetousness. I didn’t love anybody because of the hatred that I had. Today it is a different story: I love everyone. I had smoked cigarettes since I was a small boy, but God took that habit from me. I thank God with all my heart; He has been faithful to me.

I thank God with all my heart; He has been faithful to me.

I thank God that this old time religion is good for the American Indian. I have been a logger all my life, and you know the type of men I work among, but with Jesus by my side it is a pleasure; it doesn’t hurt me any. I am in this world, but bless God I am not of this world. I am thankful that God took me from this world and planted my feet in the path that is narrow and straight.

I have been a logger and a barber, I have met so many people in the past years, infidels and all sorts of men, but God was able to keep me among all of them.

I have learned that I can be thrilled just at some mention of the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ who has done so much for me! I love to feel the tears roll down my cheeks. It isn’t that I am sorrowing over His death, but I love His presence, and I feel the balm of His glorious Spirit. This is the best I can do. This uncertain voice of mine, I have dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ Who has done so much for me. I am dedicating the balance of my life to Him who died for me and lives today.

I am dedicating the balance of my life to Him who died for me and lives today.

I am glad His plan of redemption has included the American Indian at Neah Bay. The people there are full of sin and evil spirits. One visitor to the village said, “You can’t go any farther to the end of the world than Neah Bay.”

It is good for the Makah Indians as well as the white man. It is good for anybody. I thank God I have the victory in my heart and a testimony, and in Heaven I know that there will be a few Indians mixed in that throng.
Brother Charlie sang solos before most of his testimonies.
Some of those he sang were:
It Took A Miracle
I Have No Regrets
A Little Nearer Home
God’s Gift To the World
Just Tell Them When You Saw Me, I Was On My Way O The Bleeding Lamb
