How the
devil fought in those early days, but God gave gracious victories! Miss Archer
tells of one trial that turned to blessing. "We cooked on a little oil
stove and used coal oil lamps. Fall was coming. We had to have heat for our
buildings. A well driller was contacted to come to clean out an old gas well.
He came with very little equipment and no faith in God. He worked a while,
then told us there wasn't any gas left in the well. We prayed. God assured us
we would get gas. The driller worked a while longer, then quit. Mr. Swauger
begged him to let the bailer down one more time. Suddenly there was an
explosion. The pressure blew all the remaining debris out of the well. We had
gas. The atheistic driller said, 'I don't know if there is a God or not, but
somebody is surely answering those people's prayers.' Later he became ill. He
called for the Bible school men to come to pray with him. He was gloriously
saved." |
