KINGSTON : PRIKTED BY WILLIAM LIQHTFOOT, WELLINGTON BTBEBT. 1871. ) S 1 / CraJ ^ 51 3 ;i i THE LAST TWENTYONE DAYS OF D.iNIEL MANN I CALLED on him for the first time on Friday the ISth of November. He appeared very cheerful, but his ways soon convinced rae he was doing all in his power to excite himself into happy feelings to drown the thought of his impending execution. Upon testing him a little as to the ground of the hope he expressed concerning the life to come, I soon found it to be his thorough repentance, his comparative freedom from evil desires, his great love to God, &c. He thought surely he had made his peace with God since he had so many good things to show. His lips talked about Jesus and His love very nicely. He repeated some of God's precious promises, but evident- ly his heart was so intensely occupied with self, that he could grasp no meaning in those promises. His earnest face, however, and the thoughtful attention he paid to what I said to him, attracted me at once. I remembered how, four years before, I was in the same 4 THE LAST TWKNTY-ONE DAYS OP state — occupied with my humility, my repentance, my faith, my love — and while putting on a cheerful face to make myself believe I possessed that happiness which I had often heard belonged to a man at peace with God, what bitterness and anguish lay in the depth of my soul. I remembered the d:iy when, at the climax of misery, some one had pointed me to the third chapter of Romans, how it had opened Heaven to me — the unutterable deliverance it put me into — and I burned to have him get in the same place. I told him nothing he could do could save him ; neither his repentance, nor his love, nor looking to the work of the Spirit in him, could give him peace with God. " You are lost," I said : " you are dead in trespasses and sins — condemned already— and you might as well think that weeping and promising to do better could pnt away the sentence pronounced against you the other day as to think your repentance, or your promises, or anything from yo//, can move the curse of God's eternal law which now hangs over you, as well as over every soul of man who is not saved.'* I told him the ofily thing which could meet a " lost" man's need was salvation — a " dead" man needed li/e^ and a " condemned" man needed mercy, I declared to him he was grievously mistaken if he thought he had made his peace with God. lie could never THE coNVKrr daniki, mann. 5 .1 do that. ** What, then, must I do?" said he, ui a half- stunned way. ** Read there," eaid l,and my finger pointed to Colossiaiis 1. 20: " Aftd hfivlng made peace through the hloodof His cross . , . ." I pointed ap^ain to GulatianB iii. 13, and said, "read again here!" "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of tlie law, being made a curse for us . . ." I then besought him to read, thoughtfully and prayer- fully, the third, fourth, and fifth chapters of Romans, and commending him to the Lord, who alone, I knew, could open his blinded eyes, I left him in his lonely cell. I did not call again until the following Tuesday, NoV. 22d. The Turnkey at the entrance-door told me one of the criminals was anxious to see me since morning. Without , asking which of tlic two, I called first on the one occupy- ing the cell nearest the entrance-door, but found him much as before — more occujued with the actual consequences of his crinu^ than with His lu.^'i condltioh before 6rOf^— ready enough to pray and engage in devotional exercises; but comi>letely blind as to the [/round of salvation. I It'fl him much downcast in my spirit — full of that de- jection which often makes n\v long to be w^ith Christ when I have set forth a Jinhhed sr the ungodly. For scarcely for a rigliteous man will one die; yet peraar^, and I can answer: I've been doing that since my mother's womb, and here is the sad end of it !" Here I felt in my heart the pang which crossed his own, and I Said : " Yes, you've faithfully finished the work the devil gave you to do ; but hear the word in John xvii. 4 : * I have glorified Thee on the earth : I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.' Who said that? j . '~nB!H- wmmmmmm M V ai w It n( w CO th re pe an yo to mi has It kiK exj Gc me thii THR CONVICT DANIKL MANK. What work was that which the Father gave Him to dO| and which He, in ' nticipation, says He has finished?" The pang was gone. His dear face beamed again. The word ^finished was enough to soothe all his sorrows now. It made him laugh with delight every time it was pro- nounced. We knelt and praised God together for a long while, and I left that happiest of all places on earth — a converted criminars cell. On Friday, November 25th, I called again, but finding there was a visitor with him, I told the Turnkey I would return tho next day. Upc turning the next day, I found him anxiously ex- pecting me. The Turnkey had told him I was coming, and he said he knew he would have another feast. " What do you mean," said I, " by another feast ? Arc you so fond of visitors tliat my coming should be a feast to you ?" " O, no sir," he replied ; " of course I love you very much. I can't help that, for you are the one whom God has used to show me the way — Jlis way of saving sinners. It is what you point me to thai makes the feast. You know when a man is as near his end as I am he can't be expected to take much comfort from any thing bnt what Ood has said. That is the very thing which first drew me to you : you never said any thing, or answered auy thing, without referring me at once to Serq^ture." ,^y^ „...,... . 10 THK LA6T TWENTY-ONE DAYS OF ■ ' n •• I feel exceedingly happy," I Bai'l, " when I sec a man whose confiilenee lies alone in whi»t the Word of God teaches ; for I know this is not the work of Nature. Jesu8 Bays : * My sheep hear my voice,' and His voice, dearcBt soul, being heard 07ily in the S<^nptures, it is no wonder you care for nothing but that. When you see a man sat- isfied with more or less than God*s Word, you may be sure he is none of His sheep. Would to God I could get the whole City of Kingston — if it were only those who profess, even — to try Xhrn foundation and their walk by the W^ord of God. But, alas! when they find their position untena- ablc in the light of Scripture, many flee behind the ram- parts of their creeds or opinions, and think themselves safe there." "That is very sad," he said. "Oh! how I wish they would all with one accord turn to the Word alone. I will not cease to pray for this wow as long as I am here But tell me, why earing before God in such a condition terrified me, so that I lay all night curled up on the floor crying out : ' O, God, I am surely doomed — there can be no hope for such a wretch as 1 1' It was the first time in my life I knew II THK CONVICT DANIKL klANX. n what conviction of sin is. 1 had already before wlbhed imicli to be a Christian, and, to attain my wish, iiad eu- doavored to lead a better life. For quite a while in the I'enitentiary I 8toj)ped stealing altogether, and refused to join in the wickedness of luy fellows, until, overcome again, I made up my mind it was of no use trying to be a Christian in such a place: but now it was no more trying or wanting to reform — it was a burning within — a tossing up and down — an unaccountable anguish, which made me think of liell — a place where a man craves for death and can't get it. Well, I was regularly visited, and portions of Scripture read to me, but to no avail whatever. Look* ing to the clergymen for help— as I supposed them endow- ed with special power — I often felt bitter against them, not getting the relief I expected from them, and which I thought they had it in their power to give me.* I have no doubt now the fault was mostly mine; but, tell me, why did'nt I see the Truth sooner ?'' " First of all," I answered, " God's time is the best time. Had you found * peace in believing' before your trial, it would have been very ditferent from what it was. You ^ l8 there not an awful responsibility reBtiufi^ on that body called the clei'gy, which has assumed a place of Priesthood, thereby leading;^ precious souls to look to them for hdp f Did tl»e ministry of th» Gospel keep its place of $ermtudi, hoxxIb would not have the excusa they now have, n THR LAST TWENTY-ONE DAYS OF would not have pleaded * not guilty,' which was a lie : you would not have needed lawyers to talk for you and color things; but you would frankly, openly, and truthfully have stated things as they were. The truth thus spoken has great eiFect on men's hearts. They might have seen your real intention was to disable the guard — not to kill him — so as to effect your escape. You might have been sent back to the Penitentiary for life, whilst God can glo* rify Himself most in this way. And remember, now that — since you believe— the question of your salvation is eter- nally settled, God expects you to have only Ifis glory at heart See 2 Cor. v. 15 : * And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.* ** Secondly, how can a man tell another the way to a certain place ?" I asked him. " Of course, he must know it himself," he said. "Truly," I answered, " and before a man can preach Christ he must know Christ — have Christ. Mark, I do not Bay before he can preach, but before he can preach Christ, A man may preach all his life, and preach with such elo- quence that not an eye could be dry, and yet not preach Christ, A well-informed mind, a sentimental imagination and a good flow of language, is all a man needs to make a popular preacher ; but to preach Christ a man must be con- verted — he must be born again.

I can't think about any thing else now, and though some may look upon it as presumption, from the abundance of my heart my mouth must speak." "There is also another thing I must tell you, to answer your question fully : Dear, earnest souls, really converted men may be very zealous in advising and trying to teach others without helping them at all, and the reason is this ; They have never learned to make the difference which God's Word makes concerning the relative position of 6^- lievers and unbelievers / therefore they will apply to a be- liever what belongs to an unbeliever, and vice versa — so that confusion must ever prevail in the advised person's u TIIK I^AftT TWENTY-OKK PAYS OF tniad. God's Word calls believers * SaiiitH/ and all tho rest * Sinneiu' Sinners are described in 1 Cor. vi. 9, 10: * Know ye not that the unrighteous hhall not inherit the Kingdom of God ? Be not deceived — neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor cifeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God.' Saints are described in the next verse : * And such were some of you — but ye ark washed, but ye ARE sanctified, but ye ark justified in the name of the Lord JesuSy a?id by the Spirit of our God.'' God's Word speaks to these as to men who are saved ; to those as t^ men who are lost ; and unless that distinction is strictly adhered to the state of things is seen which is mentioned in Ezekiel xiii. 22 : * . . . with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad^ whom I have not made sad ; and strengthened the hands of the wicked^ that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life.' " A flood of light was pounng in the precious soul.

He eould not comprehend about the works of a man being burned and himself saved as b}' fire, but now he saw through it: The man who was on the founda- tion was a saved inau^ and if he worked for God he would receive a reward for his faithfulness ; but if he did'nt work for God, he would get no reward, but only be saved as a man out of a fire — ^^just with his life. ** Ah !" he said, " would'nt it be sweet, if life were mine again, to live for God now in every thing !"

After a good while of sweet fellowship together, during which I coidd see the wonderful pi'ogress he was making in the knowledge of Christ, he said, hesitatingly : " I beg your pardon for taking such freedom, but i)lease tell me how you live, since you belong to no sect. There was a irood deal of talk amono* the men at the Penitentiary about vou and those who came before vou in the same way, and some said you were all the sons of noblemen, or very wealthy men, who provided you with all you needed, so that you did not need to put yourselves in tlie hands of a society."

When I came in tins prison, thi'ce weeks ago, mother, I only knew one passage in the whole l^ook which could give me any ho]»e at all.

Mother, as sure as Christ sits at God's right hand, so sure am I that I am saved, and that I shall be with Him in a few days." His mother wept bitterly. P^specially when she left him she could not control her sobs, but he comforted her to the last, saying : " Mother, I never was any comfort to you, but now you inay have this comfort the rest of yo\ir days : The law demands my body, but it is all it can do ; I am now redeemed bv the blood of Jesus, and vou may be sure that in a few days you shall have a son in Heaven. '* His composed, smiling lace was l»eautifiil as long as he could thus comfort his poor mother; but as soon as the sound of her stei)s was lost in the corridors, and we were h)cked in alone again, his heart began to swell, and his sobs, breaking out almost into roaring, manifested such distress, that I coidd only look at him and weep. Soon, however, he looked up to heaven, and, lifting uj) his clasp- ed hands, unburdened himself in beseeching God to com- fort his [)oor mother, and all those he was grieving by his sad end. - Soon he was calm again, as usual, and turning to me h<' said : " I wish 1 had not to wait so long to be with Jesus.^' I said, "let us talk to our Lord a little while."

Salvation fj\ > 'e sinner is through His blood, restoration for the ])elievei- l^* through His intercession." We read together the first ten verses of John xiii. and then T said to him : " Do yon see how that Jesus in anticipation o/the work He was going to do on the cross for the salva- tion of sinners, girds Himself with a towel, and, with ioatei\ washes His Disciples^ feet f Peter n(»t yet knowing the wondrous work his Master is to do before he can be a converted man, cannot understand such humiliation, ami therefore refuses to have Him humble Himself down to such work, but Jesus insists, telling him he will know after a while what this means. In a moment Peter changes his mind and wants to be washed all over. O no, says Christ, "he that is washed (by blood) is clean every whit; he needeth not, save to wash liis feet (by water).' All this is very simple now. The *atler while' is passed, and any til THE CONVK^' DAXlttL MANN. 39 child of God can see what it moans, for afler Christ had obtained an eterual redemption for us and gone back Home, He sent down the Holy Ghost who now dwells in every converted man and enables him to search and comprehend the deep things of God : when a man believes, then and (Jiere he is washed in the blood and * is clean every whit/ By one sacrifice he is * perfected /'or every so that he 7ieveT again need be washed in the blood. Those who think they need to be washed in the blood constantlv make the blood •r of Jesus, as far as tliey are concerned, no better than that of bulls and of goats, beside annulling the need of His inter- cession. But while he is a man every ichit^ and eternally cleansed by the one shedding of the blood of Jesus, he is a man who has the iiesh dwelling in him, a wicked world iill around him, and the devil constantly after him. He lias to walkm the midst of all these difficulties, and \\\^feet are very apt to get muddy, as yours did by the article on ihe paper, and may yet again. Christ washing our,/e^^ in water must be clear to you now. 1 John ii. 1, expresses it : ' If any man sin ice {tnho are saved) have an advocate witl) the Father^ Jesus Christ, the Righteous;' and again in Uo- mans viii. 34 : * who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (believers).^ Jesus died, and therefore the btlieviny sinner livefe ; Jesus intercedes, and therefore the offending but confessing believer is re- stored to communion with God." 40 THE LAST TWENTY-ONK DAYS OF His cup was full and running over. We knelt together, and in a quiet, subdued prayer, such as I never had heard before, he poured out his heart to God, especially beseech- ing Ilini to keep him from ever again grieving His Holy Spirit and dishonoring His Blessed Name. For a long while we sat close together on his bench, he weeping like a child and only interrupting the silence from time to time by saying: "How sweet to lie down on the mercy of God !" or, " what a vile thing I am ; Lord, what a vile thing 1 am !" or, *• how kind in you, dear brother, to tM^W me !" " I am no better than you," I said ; " my flesh is tbe same as yours. My spirit is willing as yours, and my flesh as weak also ; to-morrow I may need to be admonished in my turn. I have only done what my hand would do for ano- ther member of my body, if in need.

On Friday, Dec. 9th, he was quite taken up with some- thing he had found on Wednesday night after I had left him. It was the same thing with which he had been oc- TIIK CONVICT DANIEL MANN. 41 cuf>ie(l for some days, of which ho had tasted the bitter fruit a little while before, and which God was showing him with power, namely, thejfesh. Until a late hour at night, he said, he was, as it were, swallowed up in this passage of Psalm li. 5 : " Heboid, I was sliapen in ini(piity, and in sin did my mother conceive me/' " I saw myself," he said, *' a mere mass of corrup- tion, and such corruption, that I cannot describe my feel- ings ; r praised (lod who enabled n^e to sec myself as He saw me, and. Oh! my brother, if you knew how I got to hating myself! it was such a strange thing. You know it is natural for every man to have some respect for himself, and, even when in the Penitentiary, if any man had said in- jurious things to me I would have resented it, supposing my honor as a man was touched. Some one who calle reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, . alive unto God throuojh Jesus Christ our Lord." But he seemed unable fully to grasp the /.' He put nin on Christ at the cross, then looked on Him as if He w^ere Bin. Christ was crucified, and, of course, I was crucified with Him: Christ died, and, of course, I am a dead man ; but Christ is risen, and He is my righteousness. God looks ou Him in me, and He loves i.4e even as He loves TTIK COXVICT DANIEL MANN. 47 Christ Himself. Mow aweot those two lines are to me now : ' I am a |KK»r Binner, and nothing at all, ^ „, But Jesus Christ is my all in all.' I see how it is, too, that T ;im a * new creature' in Christ ♦lesus.

In a prayer he made he licsought (Jod to lead many precious souls to find what lie had just found, and especially asked it for his poor fellows-criminal. He prayed 48 THE LAST TVVKNTV-ONK DAYS OF in particular for evcMy one of his family. Of one whom ho had loved much, he said : '' T^ord, he is a good, u|>right, affectionate man, hut still he is lost, and he knows it not : Oh ! do Thou tell him he is lost !" Praying f»)r me, he said: '^Thou knowest, Lord, how much T love my dear hrother, and what T would do for him for Thy sake if! could; hut I know Thou lovest him far more still than T do, and I commend him to Thee.'' He spoke evidently face to face with (iod. Then* was no ex- citement, no familiarity, hut tlie sweet liherty of a submis- fiive son before a loving Father. Thei'e lay a book of pray- ers on his table, which some one had s toncr'ue can exiiress tills his bosom and breaks out in "prayer without ceasing,"' that he may have grace to walk worthy of such a wojulrous calling, in the sinrht of God and of men. O that God's dear children might knowwdiatis theirs in the ristii Christ ! They w^ould then talk less about their feelings, their frames of mind, their weakness, their victor- ies, their faith and works of faith, any thing good or bad about themselves : the theme and substance of all their talk would be Christ "made unto us of God, wisdom, right- eousness, sanctification and redemption." On Monday, Dec. 12th, I spent again the morning with 60 THE LAST 1 WEXTYOXK DAYS OF lum. He was in a cletiply quiet state of inind. "The hour h fast approaching" he said, " but I know in whom I have believed. God, who says that by the blood of Jesus my sins are all washed away, and that he remembers them no more, has so enabled me to believe Him that I have almost forgotten them too, and am wholly taken up with Christ my righteousness. Sometimes I wonder if it can be pos- sible that such grace should be true, but when such thoughts come 1 open quickly my Testament and reafsure myself that I am not mistaken. Ah ! my brother, God's Word alone can satisfv the soul with which God is at work. It 18 only what God says that is worth any thing. Oh ! how I wish men would see this ! let every thing go but the Word of God:' " And how does God say we are his children ?'' I asked.* "Bylaith in Jesus Christ," he replied, pointing to tlif verse. *' And what does God say His children are?" Tasked again. He did'nt <^atch my thought so I referred him to Komaiis viii. 17. "and if children, then heirs, heirs o/ God^ and joint-heirs with (.'hrist:'' After a little while of new delight from this passage li^ said: "O that my motherland mv brothers and sisters, and every body might see the things that I see !"

He seemed even more free than before from the strangled sobs which he could not restrain through all our former interviews. "I am living," he said, *'iu the first four verses of Colossians iii., and in the second of Ephesians.'* " You are living in pastures wliich sheep only know," I said, " and they are sweet." " Yes, very, very sweet," he replied. " They are so sweet that I have nothing whatever to wish for for myself save that my Father may give me grace and strength to deport myself in every thing as it becomes a poor sinner saved by grace. Since 1 can glorify God in nothing else now, may 1 glorify Him in the full peace and confidence which become one whose righteousness is Christ." " God may glorify Himself through you more than in this which you desire," I said : " As soon as I saw the Holy Ghost had opened your eyes to see the grace of God., a voice kept repeating in my ears.

Indeed it is the greatest thing: Turn to the seventeenth of Luke." ^- We read from verse 11 to verse 19, and I said : *' There are, in figure, ten sinners saved by grace, through faith ; but Jesus Himself declares o7di/ one of them, and he is a poor cast-out like you — a Samaritan — has glorified God. And the wav in which he i^ave ejlorv to God was bv re- turninc; and fallini; at his Lord's feet in heart-felt adora- tion. Ah! this is something we are all too apt to forget.

I was kindly allowed what we both wished much : to spend the last night together, as the hour for the execu- tion was at eight o'clock in the morning, so 1 arranged to return in the evening. ♦ ♦ * 41 <|i f ♦ No words can describe the strange, sweet hours of that night. Its sweetness, deepened by its sadness, cannot be told. It was my share of God's grace displayed in him. It was my harvest for my three weeks' teaching. It is another oasis in the wilderness I have been traveling in these four years. I will be glad when it ends, but until then this is sweet. It was no more teachinjj and learninir as before. We were feasting together on what he had learned during the past three weeks. We to or s hip2^ecl onr God ; we adored our Lord Jesus. There was no noise, no excitement. Ours was a quiet cell that night, but O the solemnity of it I Jesus was there. Ah ! my breiaren, do you know what it is to worship God ? do you know what it is to possess eternal life ? — to know that that life is in Jesus, yea, is Jesus Himself who sits at God's right hand, now in the very same body in which He bare our sins on the tree ?

I wept sore many a time at the thought that that man whom I now loved as my own soul was about to be torn away from me in such a violent manner, but he would say, as he would draw mo up against him : " Don't weep, brother; you know I am a son of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus." Hut this, while it forbade all bitterness, oidv grieved me the more for that was the very ground anart of Thee, Lord Jesus I O why should I not rejoiee ?" He never remained long without returning to his Testa- ment which lay open on the table with many leaves turned and many portions underlined. It was not to seek any thing new but to read and reread the passages which re- ferred most clearly to the grace of God. The special por- tions he used were the 20th verse of Galatians ii., the fifth, sixth and eighth of Romans ; the second of Ephesians ; the first 4 verses of Colosians iii. and the first 4 of John xiv. An expression in the passage of Gal. ii, especially filled 68 THE LAST TWENTY-ONE DAYS OF him: " and tlie life which I now live in the flesh, Hive by the faith of th( son of God^ who loved me, and gave Him- self for me." — **It is nothing of mine" he would say; "it is all of (Jod.

Then I will be tilled. l>ut O, my Father, until then give me to remember that 1 walk by faith, not by sit/Jit ; by sinjple faith in what Thou hast written in Thy Blessed Book." Often we prayed. He never asked any thing for himself, save that he might have strength from the Lord to act io the last moment as it becoiiies one who has all things in Christ. — " Thou knowest, my Father," lie would say, " how natural it is to the flesh to shriidv from death, and especi- ally a death like this ; but Jesus has borne my sins In His own body on the tree ; He is risen ; He sits at Thy right hand, and He is i!iy lif\ I, therefore.
