"My greatest challenge in the Dakotas "Elder Richards had some personal is to not get in the way of what the Lord habits that really inspired me. He never wants done. I believe that the Dakota went to sleep at night or got out of his bed

in the morning before he had read his Bible and prayed," notes Thurber. According to Thurber, Richards never pushed for money over the air or in public meetings when the VOP needed funds. "He didn't preach the needs; he preached the word. And, he never once doubted that the Lord would bring in the needed funds." Thurber says. One December the VOP fell $100,000 behind in their budget. Richards announced in worship, "If there is anyone here who doesn't have the faith to believe that God will bring in the $100,000, I would request that they leave the room before we pray." "I had to kind of search my heart that time," Thurber admits. "I was new in the quartet but I decided to stay. I remember him pleading on his knees for the mission of the VOP." Just a few days later, Thurber and the other King's Heralds boarded a plane with Richards to fly up to meetings in Portland, Oregon. On the way, one of the jet's engines quit. Trying to disguise his nervousness, Thurber moved over by Richards. 6 OUTLOOK October, 1986 When Richards visited Thurber in the hospital, he knelt by his bed and prayed that the Lord would make it possible for Thurber to sing with the quartet at an important crusade in the Midwest that was starting that weekend. "He had faith to believe that I would be there. To the doctor's utter astonishment, my leg healed and I flew out to join the team. Elder Richards wasn't surprised in the least." Thurber says. Today the King's Heralds are no more and Elder Richards is dead but the Voice of Prophecy continues to proclaim the gospel over the radio. "Today's economy and lifestyle have caused problems at the VOP but I still believe it's God's institution and that Harold Richards Jr. is the one that God has chosen to be the leader. As Dakota's new president, John Thurber must feel the same way about the Dakota Conference and himself. *

Chief?" he said as casually as he could. Richards set aside the book he was read- ing and looked at his second tenor with knowing eyes that twinkled. "I'm not concerned. We've got three more. If we get down to one, I might get a bit nervous." Richards proceeded to explain in detail the operation of jet engines, amazing Thurber with his knowledge. When they landed in Portland, a phone call from Richards' secretary informed him that a lady in New England had sent a $35,000 gift to the VOP. "That was just the beginning of the answer to his prayer. Everywhere we went on that trip, the phone rang and by the time we got back home, the money was in the till," Thurber recalls.

Annie has much to give. She has expe- rienced many things. Her advice has been, "Forget the bad and don't forget to be thankful for the good. Then you will be happy." This lady has lived through the loss of her parents, eight brothers and sisters, the death of her husband and her only two sons, in addition to two world wars, the Great Depression and changes too numerous to mention. Since she has expe- rienced all of this and still has a grasp on life that continues to bless and enlighten, it is worth knowing about. How thankful I am for the blessing of a humble saint who holds on to, who loves and tests and proves and shares "that which changeth not."
