THEY SAY
By HUBERT DODD
“Pester the Lord for me!”
I called by to see a dear old man
whom I had not seen for some time.
As I parted he said: “When you pray
always remember to pester the Lord
for me"'
I told him I would; but all the
while I was thinking about that cur
ious word, “pester.” I rebelled
against pestering the Lord. I went
home and looked in the dictionary and
found that pester meant to beset in
an annoying or irritating way. I won
dered whether it was wise for me to
annoy or irritate the Lord even in
behalf of such a good man as my
friend was. I wasn’t satisfied with
the dictionary, so I went to the Bi
ble. I found the parable of the Im
portunate Widow in Luke 18:1-8, and
in it found these words: “Because
this widow trouibleth me, I will avenge
her, lest by her continual coming she
worry me.” Then Jesus said, “Shall
not God avenge his own elect, which
cry day and night unto him?” Then
it seemed to me that “day and
night” indicated some degree of pes
tering, especially the night!
Next I found in Luke 11:5-13 how
a man went at midnight to ask a
friend for three loaves of bread to
give late supper to another friend
who had been on a long journey. It
is unthinkable, intimates Jesus, that
the friend lying comforting in bed
should say, “Trouble me not.” Rath
er would he arise and give him not
three loaves only but as many as he
desires.
Then I thought: The dear old man
really does want me to pester the
Lord for him. So I am under obliga
tion now to go to the Lord, not at
my convenience nor even the Lord’s'
convenience, and disturb the Lord in
my friend’s behalf.
Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians,
tells them that he bows hir knees for
them, to the end that they might be
filled with all the fullness of God.
Then he begs them to pray for many
things, and adds “and for me!"

Three Goat Islands
A third Goat island in the United
States is in Narragansett Bay, R. 1.,
just off the city of Newport. The
United States Naval Torpedo sta
tion is situated on it. Mas-a-Tierra,
the nearest to land of the Juan Fer
nandez islands off the coast of Chile,
was formerly called Goat island. If
was on these islands that the ex
periences of Alexander Selkirk led
to the story, “Robinson Crusoe.”

Former Home of Poet Tennyson
Farringford was the former Isle
of Wight home of Alfred Lord Ten
nyson. The poet moved there in
1853 and made it his home for
many years. Tennyson had little of
the privacy he sought there. The
poet once apologized to a departing
visitor for not accompanying him
beyond a little postern that opened
into a lane, because the last time
he had gone beyond it he had been
“pursued in full cry along the road
by two fat women and sixteen chil
dren.”
Paid For With Prayers
Swiss farmers annually give to
thousands of poor peasants as much
cheese and butter as they can carry
home after the grazing season on
the mountains and ask in return on
ly a prayer for the cattle and
pasture.

Bob Jones Comments
Ten -good men would have saved
Sodom. Wealth has its proper place
in- our modem world, but wealth,
when over-emphasized, becomes a
curse instead of a blessing. Military
machinery is needful under present
world conditions. However, the mad
rush of nations to arm means that
sooner or later the house of civiliza
tion will fall under the weight of its
armies and navies. What the world
needs is good men. If the chamber
of commerce in Sodom had invited
a man like Abraham to move in and
become city manager and had listen
ed to his wisdom and followed his
example, they would have saved their
property and would have escaped the
catastrophe which overtook them in
their wickedness. Communities do not
realize how much they are indebted
to the men and women of God who
live in their midst. The writer con
ducted an evangelistic campaign a
number of years ago in a certain
town of the south. There lived in that
town a frail old minister of the gos
pel. He had retired from the active
ministry. This old saint got up every
morning hours before day to pray.
We may learn at the Judgment Seat
of Christ that a tornado one time
started toward that town and God,
in order to avoid disturbing the pray
er of His servant, ordered the tor
nado to change its course. We may
learn that a dreadful epidemic start
ed that way on wings of destruction
and God sent it in another direction
oecause He wanted the old saint to
keep on praying. Few people realize
low great is their obligation to God’s
people who live in their communities.
“Sam Jones had great success in
nis evangelistic work in all sections
of America except in California.”
That is what a minister said to the
writer years ago. Somehow that
statement has lingered in my mind
through all of these years. I remem
ber the first evangelistic campaign
I conducted in California. I undertook
the meeting with a feeling that I was
facing a difficult situation. I found
the state just a little different from
some of our other states, but in all
of the campaigns I have had in the
state, I have had the joy of seeing
people saved. I have also had fellow
ship with some of the liveliest Chris
tians I have ever known. But now to
the story I started to tell. Recently,
during a two weeks’ evangelistic mis
sion in San Francisco, I heard a most
remarkable story about Sam Jones
and a meeting which he conducted
years ago in a California city. Sam
preached one day on the subject of
Consecration. A wealthy and prom
inent young matron was in the au
dience. The message went home to
her heart. At the close of the service
she went to the front and gave her

hand to the evangelist, pledging her
life in full surrender to God. The
woman was Mrs. Lizzie H. Glide who
established the Glide foundation. She
has given away multiplied thousands
of dollars for a definite evangelistic
orthodox Christian program. The
building in San Francisco in which
the writer spoke for fifteen days was
built by Mrs. Glide. The money for
the radio program which I had the
joy of speaking on each day was pro.
vided by the Glide foundation. Mrs.
Glide is an old woman. I did not have
the pleasure of seeing her. Sam Jones
is dead and gone. If Sam does not
know now, he will know some day
that his California ministry was a
great success. It probably was the
most successful venture he ever had
in evangelitic work. When I get to
heaven, I shall say: “Congratuations,
Brother Sam, on the great work you
did in California. I had the joy of
reaping where you had sown.” We
Christians will have many surprises
in heaven. Some things that looked
