Description
In 1922 his father, a junior partner in a small grocery business who never looked at the books, was forced out of the partnership by false accusations and took to his bed for weeks, getting nothing of his equity; he then started again alone with his second son and a small loan from a friend, and the business multiplied until, when he died in 1959, he left his ten children millions.

Five-year-old boy in Poland meets a Gypsy woman at a well
Description
Neville retells a story he says he read in a magazine about a year before this lecture. A father, shaving, is asked by his six-year-old daughter where God really lives, and offhandedly answers, 'In the well.' The odd reply nags at him until he suddenly recalls a boyhood memory from thirty-odd years earlier in Poland, where he was born: at age five, he watched a towering, red-bearded Gypsy man from a passing traveling group draw a bucket of water from his family's courtyard well with such effortless, commanding ease that the man now recognizes the memory as his own true encounter with God.
