Weeks later two of us from school went to a convention held in an assembly which I had never visited. The . other worker preached and I gave my testimony of how God had called me from my public school life, how He had so wonderfully baptized me and chosen me to walk with Him. At that time I used to play the guitar and sing, and God greatly blessed my ministry along that line. Often while singing He would carry the music on into the Spirit, and used the singing and the music to refresh people.

That evening the Lord blessed in a precious way and gave me a testimony concerning His love and grace. Of course I could not mention anything about my personal needs or “our secret”, for that would have clouded my heart life and broken the sweet understanding between God and me. I slept soundly that night, but about four o’clock in the morning I heard a knock at the door. A little later someone called to me to say that a letter had been left for me, and then slipped it under my door. Although I was rather sleepy I arose to see who could be sending me a letter at such an hour. On opening it I found it was a message from someone who had been in the service the previous evening. She was a Christian woman who had needed just the bit of testimony God had given me. He used it to bring her out of a hard place in her experience, and had quickened her faith and had given her a fresh touch of the Spirit.

She also informed me that the Lord had been dealing with her since the meeting and that she could not sleep before obeying Him in the thing that He had told her to do. For a long time He had directed her to put her tithe money aside, at least a part of it, without in­dicating what to do with it. In the letter to me she enclosed the sum of $50. explain­ing that she did not know why she was do­ing so or for what purpose it was to be used. All she knew was that the Lord had directed Her to do so and that there was a blessed witness of peace and joy as she brought it to me.

By this time I was really awake. I had a little camp meeting and praise service all by myself before and with the Lord. At last, at four o’clock in the morning, in a strange home and from a Christian woman whom I had only seen in a meeting, God actually put $50. into my hands. I had discovered the law of faith; the process which is perfectly safe and sure. Had He not said:

“Trust Me and I will give you $50.”
—Fact number one

(He had held me steady), and I had dared to believe what He had said.
—Fact number two

(And now I had the joy), I had seen the answer and God was glorified.
—Fact number three

This is but one experience, but it shows the way. During these many years He has helped me to trust Him for not only hun­dreds but thousands of dollars. The same law works always in the same way. When there have been no visible or tangible means upon which to lean and all natural conditions have been impossible, He has given me His word on which to stand, and in which to place my faith.

“Said I not unto thee,
That, if thou wouldest believe,
Thou shouldest see the glory of God?
