The Lord Woke Me Up in Time to Save My Clothes
D. W. Whittle · The Wonders of Prayer, 1885
In the very top of a four-story building, used only for various manufacturing purposes, lived an old man and daughter. They lived literally _by faith in Christ_, from _day_ to _day_; one hour at a time. At his voice, followed Him, whether into darkness or light. Neither took a step but as they held his hand. A lady calling one day, said, "Oh!
Jennie, I thought of your large wash hanging on the roof, last night, when the drenching rain came; and I was so sorry to think you would have your hard work all over again!" "_Oh! no ma'am. The Lord woke me up out of a sound sleep, just as the first few drops fell_! I hastened up and brought them all down nice and dry, and had only got to the foot of the stairs with the last armful, when it poured down.
Now that was the Lord, ma'am, for there was not a single noise of any kind to waken me, and I was sound asleep!"
