When did he accept Christ(more detailed version and wayyy longeeeerrrr =.="")
As a lad,George went to church and heard a great many sermons and listened to a great many which made no impression on his mind and contributed not the smallest influence to his spiritual development.He drove his father's sheep to the moors and contracted the habit of swearing...

"Little George Williams,careless of anything in the nature of religion and given to swearing , made his acquaintance with spiritual life in the shop of a Bridgewater draper[cloth merchant].There are two other apprentices in this business , and both of them were serious lads.Their conversation , their manner of life , the whole set and purpose of their character came to the farmer's son as a great awakening.He became vividly aware of another world penetrating and interpenetrating the world of sense , a world of which he had scarcely begun to dream.His master was a Congregationalist and insisted that his apprentices should attend chapel.

"The early spirit of Methodism was abroad,and in the Bridgewater chapel little George Williams heard sermons which deepened the influence made upon his soul by the conversation of the other apprentices.He saw that infinity separated good from evil.He became sharply sensible of the great issue of character.He visualized the two great roads on which every man that lives must make his journey to Eternity.He felt in the deepest recesses of his soul the immerse separation of sins and the exquisite unifying force of love. ' I now began to pray,' he said ' but even on my knees oaths would come to my lips.'

"A sermon in chapel determined his life.It is a case of one who had begun to seek, one who had already detected the great difference between good and evil , quietly but with and iron decision turning the direction of his inward life away from selfishness,vanity,and evil toward love , beauty, and God.There as he sat listeded to a sermon by a preacher whose very name is probably forgotten , the youth in a back pew of a chapel just simply turned his face to God and decided for righteousness.

"He said of that time, 'I learnt at Bridgwater t see the vital difference, the tremendous importance , of the spiritual life.I saw in this town two roads -- the downward road and the upward road.I began to reason and said to myseld , " What if i continue along this downward road, where shall i get to , whence in the end of it , what will become of me?""

"After the service he returned to the shop, knelt down behind the counter , and, in phrase too marvelous and beautiful in the history of mankind ever to become false or meaningless , gave his heart to God. ' I cannot describe to you,' he said, ' the joy and peace which flowed into my soul when first I saw that the Lord Jesus had died for my sins and that they were all forgiven.'

"Uncertainty had come to an end.Darkness rolled away.Henceforth he saw a straight road, a definite destiny , and a great light streaming from the kingdoms of invisible beauty."
