"About this time I saw Judge Cray, who said to me: "I haven't
any money for you, but you're all right. You don't push people
too hard. When I see you I don't have an inclination to get
across the street and get out of your way". In the spring came
the call to go overseas again to the College campus where I
belonged, and soon a cable followed me, saying, "Sikes bequest
$5,000.00". When I reached Minneapolis again, as soon as I
happened to meet Judge Cray, he grinned and said, "Perhaps it
would interest you to know that I drew Mr. Sikes' will, and
when my client consulted me in regard to a bequest for Anatolia
College, I was glad to encourage him to make it".
One time I met an aged farmer's widow in Chester, Iowa, where
I lived when a boy. She handed me $1.00, which for her was
generous. I said I was sure her prayers would follow her gift,
and she answered, "George, I pray for you and your work every
day". Such gifts are very sacred. They carry a reminder of
Paul's words, "Ye, also, helping together by prayer for us",
often quoted by Sec. Patton."
