As for Ruth Bell, Billy himself seemed to be the answer to a prayer—one she had written before she met him:
"Dear God," I prayed—all unafraid (As girls are wont to be) "I do not want a handsome man— But let him be like Thee; I do not need one big and strong, Nor one so very tall, Nor need he be some genius, Or wealthy, Lord, at all; . . . (But) let his face have character— A ruggedness of soul, And let his whole life show, dear God, A singleness of goal . . ."
