Elmer Clark

Twenty-eight years ago God remembered us, just a few colored people in the city of Winfield, Kansas. God sent a little sister to this place and she brought papers and she didn’t skip anyone. She came to my home and brought me the story of salvation. That day was so dark and my heart was so burdened; I failed in life of every good thing. I wondered that day what would be next. But the next day I had the victory. God had saved me the day before and it seemed like another world. It was such a wonderful day. I was walking up the street and it seemed as though I could hardly stay on the sidewalk. I never could tell you all God has done for me. I am glad for this privilege to witness to His glorious salvation. The old-time religion has kept me.

Thank God He came down and healed me.

He saved three of my sisters and has helped us all through the years. He helped me to raise my daughter; it was only through the mercy of God that I was able. I have seen many miracles in the life of that child and I want to thank Him again today for His healing virtue. A week from last Thursday I couldn’t raise my hand; I couldn’t get wood or anything into the house. I couldn’t get out of bed even to make a fire. But there is a little sister across the hall from me and we help each other. Thank God He came down and healed me.

Today, most of all, I praise Him that I am saved. It is a wonderful salvation. The Word is growing richer and sweeter; the way grows better. I have no other intentions than to go through with Him.

Elmer Clark was saved in 1929. She was a faithful worker in the Mailing Department at the Portland headquarters for many years.
