I said, "Do you live there?" "Yes," he said. "I'm a doctor, a practicing physician there." "O," I said, 'this is an answer to prayer. I have to be there at eleven o'clock myself to speak in the church and I didn't know how I was going to get there." "You just wait right here," he said, "I'm going in and get my wife and we'll have you on your way in no time at all." He got his wife, and sure enough, by eleven o'clock I had arrived at the meeting. I spoke in the morning and in the afternoon. Someone took me to the city where I would have taken my bus and I was back at the ladies' apparel shop by four o'clock. The lady asked, "Are you coming home to have supper with me?" "I surely am," I told her. "O," she said, "I surely am glad. Will you stay all night?" "Yes, I'll call my husband, and if he says it's all right, I will." My husband quickly assented. "I'll tell you what I've done," she said. "I've called up all the Jews in town to come over to my house tonight and I want you to tell them all you've told me here today about Jesus. I'm sure none of them have ever heard." I was thrilled for this opportunity. We had supper and by seven-thirty the guests began to arrive. They were there until eleven, asking questions; and the Lord helped me to answer them. This was not on my agenda for the day, but this is how the Lord works if we let Him. After the last of the guests had gone, my hostess said to me, "Mrs. Hanley, I feel real bad. Everybody was here except one Jewish woman, and I wanted her here worst of all. I know it's still raining, and it's late-eleven o'clock -- but I'll call her up. If she's still awake, I wonder, if I loaned you a pair of my rain shoes, and I have umbrellas, would you mind walking over there with me and telling her about Jesus?" "Of course not," I told her. "I'll be glad to go." I wondered for a moment who was the missionary -- she or myself? We went over to see this lady after eleven o'clock, and there we sat in her library. I told her of the love of Jesus, and by midnight this dear Jewish woman had gotten down on her knees and received Christ as her Saviour as had my hostess before her. Later on, I sent two Bibles to this
town, and I understand both women are still witnessing to the love of Jesus Christ. How wonderful it is to walk by faith and trust God for the outcome! * * * * * * * 18 "OUR GOD IS ALIVE, ISN'T HE?" At one time I was asked to speak in the northwest section of Missouri. I did not have the train fare to go. I borrowed ten dollars from a friend and bought my round-trip ticket which amounted to about nine dollars and fifty cents. I boarded the train in the morning of the day I was due at my appointment. The train was rather slow, but I thought, "O it's all right. It's fine. I don't mind having only a few cents left in my purse. I don't need to eat anything until evening." But at noon I began to feel hungry. My coach was right behind the dining car, and every time the conductor opened the door I could smell the delicious food being served. Eventually I became so hungry, I thought, "I just can't stand it. I'm going in there and get a cup of coffee for a dime." I entered the dining car where a colored steward graciously pulled out a chair and beckoned me to be seated. I sat down and he handed me a menu. I said, "I won't need the menu. How much is a cup of coffee?" "Twenty-five cents, ma'am." "O . . ." "In a pot, coffee is forty cents." Well, I knew that was out of the question. I said, "How much would a piece of toast be?" "That would be fifteen cents." "O I don't think I'm very hungry," I excused myself. "I think I can wait until I get where I am going." I got up to leave. He stopped me. "Just a minute, lady, I can let you have a cup of coffee for fifteen cents if you want. Won't you sit down?" So I sat down and waited. Soon he came in bearing a tray, and on this tray were a pot, coffee cup, scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, jelly and butter. I really became frightened. I thought he
