The two Chinese evangelists, Wang and Song, were on a long trip, carrying Bibles and hymnbooks. One day, just before dark, they were stopped by robbers who took their money from them. They only had a few coppers left, far too little to pay for their supper, a bed, and breakfast, so they kneeled down at the wayside asking God to undertake for them.
When they reached the next inn, the innkeeper said he could take them in for he had room for them for the night. But they wondered how they could pay for it. Then they heard quick footsteps, and a young man came in calling out to them, “Peace be with you.” The two men were very astonished to find a Christian in those parts. The young man invited them to come into his house and stay there overnight, which invitation they thankfully accepted. The young man told hem how he had seen from a distance that they were robbed. He was unable to help them then, but he had asked a little boy who was near the spot about them. This boy had heard the men say that they were preachers of the gospel, and he had seen that their money was taken from them. The young man went back to his work, but the Lord told him to go after the men and iite them into his house. So he had come running after them, and just met them in time. Again he said, “Will you come into my house, we are a Christian family?” Surely the Lord had wonderfully undertaken for them, and when they left the next morning, they were given a gift of money for the expenses of the day.
