Remarkable Awakenings
Jonah 1:6
So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What mean you, O sleeper? arise, call on your God, if so be that God will think on us…


By strangest way and in most unexpected manner men are awakened. The gardener of the Countess of Huntingdon was convicted of sin by hearing the countess on the opposite side of the wall talk about Jesus. John Hardoak was aroused by a dream, in which he saw the last day, and the Judge sitting, and heard his own name called with terrible emphasis — "John Hardoak, come to judgment!" The Lord has a thousand ways of waking up Jonah.

(T. De Witt Talmage.)
