How God Answered My Prayer For $90.


"Suffice it, then, I was in debt. I was owing the large sum (large for a

poor home missionary) of $90.00. Expecting soon to be called upon for

the payment of it, and not seeing any way to meet it, _I went to the

Lord with it_. Early in life I had made this resolution: that no man

whom I was _owing_ should ever ask me for money, and I not pay him; but

now, I could see no way out; and if, as I expected, it should be

dema
ded, I was not in a condition to meet it. Such was my condition

when, on a certain day, the demand came. I took the letter from the

office at noon. What now was to be done? Again I took the case to the

Lord, and asked Him to help me pay it, so that my word need not fail, or

_his cause suffer reproach._ I first determined to pay a part; but, as

no letter could be sent out that day, I awaited the results of the day

following. From the northern mail, which first arrived, I took a letter

containing an unexpected draft of $50 to my wife, from parties whom we

did not know, and had never seen, nor they us. Within twenty minutes

more I was presented with a _surprise_ of $40, from a people where I had

preached for the six months past. Here was my $90, and, before the mail

went out, I had my letter written and in the mail. Both were as

unexpected as if they had come from heaven direct."
