Excerpt from Diamond-Diggers and Their Mine: Search the Scriptures

Faithful workers at every craft receive happy inspirations. The "Diamond-Diggers" was one of these. This has been abundantly demonstrated by the blessings with which God has followed it. Wherever they have been started, enthusiastic testimony has been borne to the benefits which have resulted. The first group of Diamond-Diggers happened in this wise.

We were going to a scheduled meeting for young folks in one of our missions on the Pacific Coast. I was thoroughly dissatisfied with our program for such meetings. It generally consisted of songs and a story. Both of these features were very good in their way, but did not get the boys and girls very far. The stories were long on story, and short in their message about God and Jesus. The sacrifice made to conduct missions throughout the length and breadth of our country is great, of which those who are engaged in the job are well aware. It was cheerfully made, but life seemed too precious and the cost too great for the little benefit conferred upon the children. I determined to make some change at once, just exactly what I did not know but confident that the Holy Spirit would direct.

This determination was made on the way to meet a church full of boys and girls. It was then that a story of Russell Conwell's, related in the introduction to his famous lecture, "Acres of Diamonds," popped into my mind. The transition from this story to the Diamond-Diggers was soon made, as we shall see. The story of Ali Hafed, which I shall now tell, is quoted from Dr. Conwell.
