A pastor named Augustus Schultz, residing near Berlin, had a small salary. But when occasion offered to give to the poor, he gave liberally, and seemed to be rich. Some said that he was extravagant in his charities. Perhaps there was some foundation for this reproach; but if he gave too much, he acted from love to God, and God did not forsake him. It happened one day—and this was not the first time—that there was not a morsel of bread in the house, nor money to buy any. Schultz asked his wife to set the table as usual. “But, my dear,” said his wife to him, “you forget that we have nothing to eat.” “Be easy,” answered the faithful servant of God, “the Lord is able to give us what we need.” The table was then set out, and the cloth spread, but there was nothing upon it. The pastor and his wife prayed. During the prayer a loaded wagon stopped before the door of their house. It was filled with bread and other food which some Christian friends had sent the good pastor, whose beneficence they knew. The servants of Christ then realized that the Lord never forgets those who really trust in his goodness.
