Gann, William D. (William Delbert)
Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.
Robert knew and understood how to renew his mind and body because he
knew what Jesus meant when he said--"Destroy this temple and in three
days I will build it up again." He knew that it referred to the temple
of the human body.
Robert read the 9th to 13th verses of the same Chapter:
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave
to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with
brotherly love, in honor preferring one another; not slothful in
business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope,
patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.
Robert intended to be patient in tribulations and was going to be kind
and show brotherly love; he would have faith, hope and pray for the
day when he would again have Marie. Love was the fulfilling of the law
and reward was promised for obedience to that law. The more he read
the Bible the more he was convinced of its great value and that all of
the knowledge and instruction that man needed for any purpose or at
any time, was to be found in that good old book. Robert decided that
he would not only pray without ceasing, but would spend some of the
money that he had made, to try to find Marie, as no word had ever been
received of her up to this time. He employed a detective agency to make
a search all over the United States.
Mr. Kennelworth left New York and returned to Texarkana in the latter
part of June, 1927. He bought cotton heavily on Robert's advice that
the Government report would be very bullish and would have a big
advance during July according to Robert's forecast earlier in the year.
The Government Report on July 9th showed a big decrease in acreage
and prices started to advance again. Robert wrote and telegraphed Mr.
Kennelworth that October cotton would advance to around 18.50 to 18.75
before there was any important reaction. On July 16th October cotton
crossed 18.50 and Mr. Kennelworth wired Robert as follows:
July 16, 1927

THOUSAND DOLLARS PROFIT IN COTTON AS SOON AS YOU GET TIME WORK UP YOUR

To which Robert replied:
July 16, 1927.
My dear Mr. Kennelworth:
Your telegram just received. Am very happy that you have played the
cotton market heavily and are making big profits. I, too, have made
over a hundred thousand dollars.
Will get busy in a few days and work out the cycles for 1928 and let
you know what the outlook is as to who will be elected President.
