For the glory of God, I wish to relate two very definite instances of
answered prayer.
One time I was holding services nine miles north of Kerkhoven, Minn. The
meetings were very good, but I was under a very severe trial, and it seemed
very difficult for me to learn the will of the Lord as to whether at the
close of the meeting I should go home or to Grand Forks, North Dakota, Camp
Meeting. I learned that my fare from Kerkhoven to Grand Forks would be
$3.32. Then I went out into the grove three times, (I believe it was on
Friday,) and asked the Lord that on Sunday forenoon at the close of the
services He would put it in the mind of somebody to give me exactly $3.32
if He wanted me to go to Grand Forks. No one but the Lord knew my needs. On
Sunday after the service while I was shaking hands with the people, a
brother put some money in my outside coat pocket. When I left the house, I
walked to the grove to the same spot where I had prayed and knelt down and
thanked the Lord for $3.32 in my pocket, and when I had counted the money I
found that it was the exact amount for which I had prayed. He had not only
supplied my carfare, but had in this way made known His will to me. Before
I left the next morning, the brethren had given me more, so that I had
something to send to my family.
