"Yes."<br />
I handed him one, still very much surprised.<br />
He reached in his pocket and pulled out a five-dollar bill.<br />
"O," I thought to myself, "so this is it." When he stretched his hand toward me with the<br />
money,<br />
I said, "What's this for?"<br />
"It's to pay for the Bible and literature."<br />
"No, sir," I objected. "You can't pay me for that Bible and literature. God provides that.<br />

"Never mind." I knew what he was doing. <strong>This</strong> was just a way of trying to salve his<br />
conscience.<br />
"Never mind" I repeated. "God's going to take care of us."<br />

back home and perhaps need another pair of shoes or not, but he brought out several pairs of<br />
sample shoes. <strong>The</strong>y looked rather shop-worn.<br />
"Try these on," he said. He tried them on my feet. "How about letting me give you these<br />
shoes?"<br />
"No, I won't let you give me anything."<br />
"All right, then, do you want to buy them?"
