A poor traveler asked Feuneborg to lend him three dollars to enable him to reach home. Feuneborg, at the time, possessed but three dollars, but as the poor man asked in the name of the Lord Jesus, he loaned him all he had, even his last penny. Some time after, when in extreme want, he remembered this fact while in prayer, and with childlike faith and simplicity, he said,
“O, Lord I loaned Thee three dollars, and
Thou hast not given them back to me, though
Thou knowest how urgently I need them. I pray
Thee to return them to me.”
A letter arrived that day, which was delivered to him, with these words,
“Here, sir, you receive what you advanced.”
The letter contained two hundred dollars, sent by a rich man at the solicitation of the poor traveler to whom he loaned his all. Feuneborg, quite overcome with surprise said in his simple way,
“O, Lord, one cannot say a simple word to Thee, without being put to shame.”
