AN aged couple who loved the Lord had gradually been reduced in circumstances because of prolonged illness. In order to pay their monthly rent they had disposed of all their possessions that could be spared. The landlord, seeing their penury, heartlessly threatened to eject them the following Saturday.
But our aged friends turned in their affliction to God continually in prayer.
A faithful friend knew of their distress, although he was too poor to advance the needed rent. To him there came that week a stranger who inquired if he knew of a worthy couple who could take charge of a children’s home. There was to be no work except to guard the house and keep order. For this service they would receive their room and the use of the kitchen besides a small weekly allowance. The case was urgent and it was necessary that they enter on the following. Saturday. There was indeed God’s helping hand!
Our friends were notified, and on Saturday they left the abode to take the new position. Truly, God had provided.
