There--from his parents, from North Congregational Church, from Sunday School, from Christian Endeavor Society, from the YMCA, and from St. Johnsbury Academy, he was steeped in the importance of conversion, Bible study, prayer meetings, seeking God's guidance in a Quiet Hour, and reaching out in love and service. And when Dr. Bob was through drinking, he returned to what he called his excellent training and brought the basic ideas into the Akron Christian Fellowship which he and Bill founded in 1935.

First, we might look at Bill Wilson's original belief that conversion was the solution. It was for his grandfather Willie who had been a drunk, went to the top of Mount Aeolus in East Dorset, Vermont, and cried out to God or help. He had an immediate conversion experience, rushed down to the pulpit of the little church next to the Wilson House, and announced that he had been saved. Grandpa Willie never drank again. And his grandson Bill W. never forgot this solution. It is why he went to Calvary Mission, made a decision for Christ at the altar, announced he had been born again, went to Towns Hospital and cried out for help, and had a conversion experience very similar to that which his grandfather had. And Bill never drank again. See the new title The Conversion of Bill W.<BR/>http://www.dickb.com/conversion.shtml<BR/>God Bless, Dick B.Dick B.'s son Ken B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849845661502523671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-54973644530075081302008-01-06T10:15:00.000-07:002008-01-06T10:15:00.000-07:00I think you keep leaving out the most important pa...I think you keep leaving out the most important part of the teaching thing.<BR/>Do you get to write on a chalk board?<BR/>I can't wait till you start grading papers!!
