About the Author

When he went to church he saw the saints of God acted the same as his mother and father. He concluded that this was real because they held up holiness more important than education or anything else in this world. They were happy people to be free from the world of sin. They gave up the world and dress and look like the saints of God. They kept their testimony year after year. William knew these people were real.

When William was six years old, he was stricken with a serious illness and placed in Medical College of Virginia Hospital Richmond, Virginia. His father called Mother Williams, who prayed for him, and God wonderfully brought him out. Even the doctors who attended his case said, “It was the hand of God that brought him out.” William devoted his heart to the Lord and got saved, sanctified, and baptized of the Holy Ghost filled and fire at the ages of thirteen to fourteen years old. He was nourished in the Word of God under his pastor, Bishop William H. Easter, who succeeded Mother Williams as pastor of Rising Sun Holiness Church of Emporia, Virginia, along with Bishop Rufus A. Easter, pastor of New Jerusalem Holiness Church of Garysburg, North Carolina. God wonderfully worked in his life and took him through many trials and tests. He remained steadfast in the faith and rejoiced in the Lord. He did not cause the church to be ashamed of his conduct. He lived a saved, sanctified life no matter how people treated him.
