FOREWORD

This book of a few of my experiences is written to show how the pioneer
ministers worked, and how the Lord worked with them through his Holy
Spirit. One outstanding fact in those days, when even though their training
was limited, was their burning passion for souls shown in labors, fasting
and prayer, and a heaven-born conviction and zeal for the truth. The Holy
Spirit had revealed to them an unshaken faith in the Word of God; a faith
that would not waver in the most trying and, to man, surprisingly
unreasonable cases. My prayers are that this book will bring faith and
encouragement to many a soul who is seeking God for help when all other
help has failed.

I should not have waited so long before doing this writing, for because of
that waiting the incidents are not written in the order which they should
have been, and so many have been forgotten. Since many have indicated an
interest in my experiences, may this book as it goes forth in Jesus' name
