"On a recent evangelizing visit to Newport, one of its citizens said to me, 'In yonder house dwell a man and wife, who recently needed a sum of £30 to meet some payment the next morning. Having failed in their efforts to collect it, they earnestly prayed God to provide it. The store was being closed for the night when a sea-captain knocked at the door and asked for some seamen's clothes.

The gas was relighted, and various articles were selected; the purchaser then asked for the account, and the money was paid—_a little more than_ £30. The man and his wife thanked their Heavenly Father for sending it in this way in answer to prayer.'"
