Acts 8:5-8 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them.… A lady named Ruth Montgomery, writing in an American journal, tells us of hearing a young man just entering the ministry, who visited her grandfather when she was a little girl, deliver an address on some public secular occasion. Years afterwards, when grown to womanhood, she heard the same speaker deliver a lecture of deep interest, in a town in the interior of New York. Standing at the entrance of the pew, as he passed down the aisle to the door, she shook hands with him, and said: "I am little Ruth." A smile lighted up his countenance, and he replied, "Do you know that you said something to me when I was at your grandfather's that I have never forgotten?" "Oh, no," I said; "it cannot be possible!" "Yes, you did," he replied; "when I returned from the lecture, you said, 'Dr. D., you didn't forget to bring in the Saviour into your lecture.' And I determined then I never would forget it. I have remembered it from that day to this, and tried to keep my resolution."
