Can We Trust God?

By Della Burroway

As I was preparing to leave Alberta, Canada, I felt that I must go by Eatonville, Wash., to see Sister Little, who lost her husband and two children in India. Upon inquiry at the station, I learned that it would cost fourteen dollars more than to go direct. I hesitated because of the expense, but something persuaded me to buy my ticket by way of Eatonville.

I had been asked to stop at a small town in Alberta and speak on India. When I arrived there, I found Baptists, Mennonites, and Seventh-day Adventists planning to hold a union missionary meeting in the Baptist church. Our leader said to me: “I should rather not ask for a collection, for I am very anxious to overcome prejudice here.” At the close of my talk the Mennonite minister arose and said: “A missionary meeting is not complete without a collection. I move we take up a collection to help this sister on her traveling expenses.” Just fourteen dollars was raised, which I accepted, knowing that God sent it for that very purpose.
