Rev. E. B.
Slade tells an interesting instance of answered prayer. One cold winter he
was forty miles away from home, holding revival services, when, in the midst
of a terrible snowstorm, during which travel was almost wholly impossible,
his wife, at home, ran out of wood. To save the little that remained, she put
her children to bed, and wrapped them up in blankets, At last baking must be
done, and, making a fire of her last wood, she began to pray that help might
come, and persevered until her faith won the victory. She then went about her
work in perfect peace of mind, assured that relief would come. In the course
of a few hours her nearest neighbor, a lady, waded through the snow, saying
that she had been impressed that she must come over and see what was the
matter. The facts were stated, and relief promised. Hardly had she gone when
another lady came in with the same statement, and the same offer was made. A
little while later a gentleman came in expressing a similar feeling; and when
he learned the facts, he took them all to his home, and cared for them until
Mr. Slade returned home. |
