I led her to Christ. She believed the gospel, and what joy there was for both of us, and the Lord, and the angels of heaven that day! As I hiked on into another logging camp that evening, I pondered on the faithfulness of God to answer prayer for souls, and to prepare hearts and lead His servants to them.

Although I had been told “No,” I followed unnoticed behind him. He thought he would save a little time by climbing through the wire fence instead of going to the gate. As he stooped to go through the fence, the axe which he had slung over his shoulder, came right down into the top of my head. There was no time for hitching a team to the buggy and driving miles to the doctor, who was more likely to be away than to be home when one got there. “Miss” poured the gaping hole full of campho-phenique and patched it together with tape. As she tried to quiet her screaming baby, she remembered Ro mans 8:28. The seed of her complete

Everett and his faithful helper T HE Lord has given me great joy in spreading His Word in the lumber camps. Pacing me now, though, was a long jaunt across the lava beds on the Northern California border. For miles I had hiked across hot and scorching formations, and now my water jug was empty. It was getting toward the heat of the day, and my pack felt mighty heavy. Suddenly I saw a sign reading “ WATER” and I followed the little trail only to find an empty, dry hole in the ground. I looked to the Lord, and con tinued hiking. Toward evening there was added to my extreme thirst, the shock of hunger. But ever afterward I recalled this experience with thanks giving, for I was thereby able to under stand something of the meaning of the verse: “ Blessed are they which do hun ger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled” (Matt. 5:6).

The next morning I hiked on in the strength of the Lord and arrived at a solitary ranch. A woman was sitting on the well, like the Samaritan woman! I was just about to ask for a drink when she asked me an astounding question: “ Could you please tell me, Sir, is there some way in which I could start life over again, and begin anew?” I forgot about my thirst and in a few moments M A Y , I 9 4 9
