Once when I was in Grand Forks holding a meeting, my oldest son wrote me
that a man to whom I owed $27.50 needed $20.00 and that if I could pay the
twenty he would give $7.50. Between the forenoon service and that of the
afternoon, I stayed in the church to pray and just before the next service
was to begin a number of people came in and stood beside the stove warming
themselves. An elderly woman from South Dakota put out her hand to me and
said, "Praise the Lord, Brother Susag," and putting a crumpled bill into my
hand, said, "This is for you." I thanked her and went behind the pulpit and
thanked the Lord for twenty dollars and when I looked at it, it was twenty
dollars.
The next day, between morning and afternoon services, I took a walk and on
my way I passed a fruit stand. As I looked into the window of it I saw some
delicious red apples, and Oh, how I wished I had three of them. I went back
three times and looked at them, but I had no money. I went back to the
chapel and the same old sister that had given me the twenty dollars the day
before, handed me a little paper bag and in it, to my happy surprise, were
three of those delicious apples that I had wanted.
One time when I was in Denmark, I wanted to go from Hjoremg to Lokkum. I
did not have the money for my carfare but stood up against a pillar in the
station praying the Lord to send it. As it was getting near train time it
looked as though it were not coming when suddenly a lady whom I knew--she
was not saved--came into the depot and crossed right over to me and handed
me a five crown bill. This lady had heard me often tell of the Lord hearing
prayer, but she did not believe that it was all true. I took it hastily,
ran for the ticket window, purchased my ticket and was just in time to
catch the train. When I came back, this lady came to the services and when
I saw her I asked her whether I had thanked her for the bill she had given
me at the depot. She said, "No, you didn't have time. When I came in to the
depot and saw you standing there, something said to me, 'He's praying for
carfare; go, give him five crowns,' and when I gave it to you I saw tears
in your eyes and when I got home I knelt down and asked the Lord to save me
and He did." Then she said, "You were praying for carfare, weren't you?" I
assured her I surely was. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to
perform."

At the first Camp meeting we held, I went to the bank and borrowed ten
dollars to divide among the ministers, and one day the Lord said to me,
"Give Elihu Key five dollars."
