ull salvation and
trusting God for everything. We have held meetings in over twelve of the
different states, and have never asked for money. Not on one single
occasion have we taken up a collection. It would require volumes to tell
of the many times the Lord has blessedly answered our prayers. God has
never called us to any conspicuous position in this world. The great faith
for the building of orphanages and homes, and establishing missions has
been entrusted to other men. Our faith has been only for our daily bread
and needs. Oh, what an assurance our heavenly Father gives us that he will
never forsake us. We do not want the riches of this world. We would rather
not have them. There is a blessedness in taking our every want to Jesus.
To look unto him daily for your temporal as well as spiritual support has
a strong tendency to draw one very near to him.

We would take pleasure in telling you of many of the instances in which
God has heard and answered our prayers, but fearing you will take less

petitioned for corn for our horse, and the prayer answered in a marvelous
way before the day was over. We have asked God for a spool of thread, and
our prayer has been answered at once. One time wife was on her knees
asking God for soap, when there was a rap at the door, and upon opening it
a lady presented her with a bar of soap. Almost daily the Lord is

we need. It is wonderful and just as glorious as it is wonderful. In fact,
such a life is made up of glory.

Some one may wonder if we ever have any tests of our faith. Oh, yes; there
is where the greatest glory is. Not long since we were much in need of a
dollar. In searching through my vest pocket for a match I found a dollar
bill all neatly rolled up. Where it came from, and how, I never knew, only
that the Lord sent it. Just last night, our twelve-year-old daughter said,
"This is the last Sunday I can wear these shoes. Unless I get a new pair I
shall have to stay at home." We asked her if she had been asking the Lord
for a pair. She answered, "Yes, sir." This morning in our family devotions
we made especial mention, amid some other things, of the shoes. In less
than two hours a Christian man came to the door and presented her with a
pair. Yes, we would rather have a faith and trust in God than the wealth
of a world. We feel more secu
