Jim Brown and Mary Virginia Parrish share a closing session at the 1973 Indiana CFO. He retells how Jesus meets Peter on the shore and asks, “Simon, do you love me.” She urges campers to soak in scripture through long hours of prayer with the Lord.
Mary Virginia Parrish tells of Rob, a troubled young man deep in Eastern meditation who has gone two and a half days without food. At the 1973 Indiana CFO she asks him to teach her what he has learned, and only then does he ask to know Jesus. She leads him to read Psalm 139.
Louise Eggleston described a man paralyzed since infancy who set an empty chair in the pulpit for Jesus. He spoke to it for half an hour, then rose from his wheelchair and walked with two campers steadying him. She told it at the Indiana CFO in 1964.
Starr Daily opens with a joke about Daniel, who told each starved lion it would be called on to say a few words after dinner. He then names timidity as the failing that keeps Christians silent. Booed off a prison chapel platform himself, he tells campers at the Indiana CFO in 1966 that a witness never given is taken away.
A five pound dog trotting across the Golden Gate Bridge could shake it down, but a pacing horse in rhythm crosses safely. Starr Daily draws on that contrast at the Indiana CFO in 1966 to show negative thinking as vibration. He points to honest confession as the cure for the hidden guilt that fills hospital beds.
Glenn Harding tells of Rosamund Kimball, an early camper whose car breaks down on a lonely road. She insists that “the all-encompassing good will take care of it.” In the same talk to the 1949 Indiana CFO, he describes prayer experiments on seeds and bacteria, and a widening missionary vision called “Koinonia.”
Gertrude Dekock Keehn recalls asking “What shall I say, Lord?” before she comforted a young woman facing the amputation of both feet. Speaking to the Indiana CFO in 1955, she also teaches the prayer she asked her own children to pray for her: “Keep my mummy on the perfect way.”
Gertrude Dekock Keehn leads a guided meditation for healing at the Indiana CFO in 1955. She tells of a woman whose arthritic hand straightened during the silence, and of another who found her cancer gone within days of the same meeting.
Gertrude Dekock Keehn preaches on trusting that “all things work together for good” while the trial is still happening, not only in hindsight. She tells how a car she was riding in nearly went over a cliff twice, then struck a stone lodged firmly in the bank. She gave the talk to the Indiana CFO in 1955.
Gertrude Dekock Keehn preaches from 2 Corinthians 6 on being “workers together with him.” She offers a South African pastor who denounced her in print, then unknowingly asked her to help heal his wife, as proof that unanswered criticism does no harm. The talk closes with the call to be “unknown, yet well known,” and she delivered it to the Indiana CFO in 1955.
