For several days the truth went unheeded. Near the close of the meeting I saw a young man push his way to the isle and courageously walk down to obey the gospel. Of those present, he was considered least likely to take that action. The impact of that young man’s decision was felt over the entire assembly. Thirty-two other friends followed him down the aisle. It would be interesting to know how many hundreds of people those 32, in turn, have helped down some aisle somewhere in the intervening 30 years. The influence of that one boy who led the way will live after him.
