accept it as the token I had asked of the Lord. On my return to Toronto
I spent this gift in buying ready-made clothes for the children, to save
my time and strength for the Lord's work.

When busy in my home one day, the thought of two dear friends of the
China Inland Mission kept coming constantly to mind, and I began to
wonder if I should not send them some money. Looking into my purse, I
found I had only fifty cents on hand. I put the matter out of my mind,
with the thought that if the Lord wanted me to send them anything he
would provide a way. That afternoon's mail brought a letter from a
distant place in Ontario where, a year before, I had visited and spoken
for a friend. The letter was from the treasurer of the Christian
Endeavor Society for which I had spoken. He enclosed five dollars, and
said the money was to have been given me at the time I spoke for them,
but had been overlooked.

My first thought was to return it, as it would be dishonoring my friend
to accept money for such a service; and then I remembered my friends for
whom I wanted money, and I decided to send the five dollars to them. My
husband, returning the following morning, handed me another five to put
with it, and the ten dollars was sent off.

In due course a reply came from my friends, saying that the very morning
my letter arrived they both had been given assurance that a certain sum
would come, for which they had been praying. This was to meet a need
which they did not wish to bring before their Board. My letter brought
the ten dollars; and another letter in the afternoon's mail contained a
sum which, with mine, exactly made the amount they had been asking the
Lord for.

"Say not my soul, 'Can God relieve my care?'
Remember that Omnipotence hath servants everywhere!"

On one occasion, when about to leave home on a ten days' trip to
Montreal and other places, word came that the children's Sunday-school
treat was to take place during my absence.

Little Mary had no "best" dress for the occasion. I had planned to make
her a white woolen dress, but now there was no time; and I knew I could
not make it while away, with so many meetings ahead. But, that very day,
a lady from our church called and said she had wanted for a long time to
help me, and asked if she could do any sewing for me. With dim eyes and
a grateful hear
