“In August the same year, our condition became such that it seemed as if in a few days we would be wholly without the necessaries of life.  We laid our case before the Lord, and as he did not appear to open up any way for us to leave the field, we went forward with our work as faithfully as we knew how, believing that the Lord would provide in his own time and way, when one evening, just after family worship, a rap came to the door.  I opened it, there came in quite a company of persons, all bearing something, and just exactly the things we needed most, and to the amount of over fifty dollars’ worth, and about a sixth of it was, as we learned, given by Romanists who had opposed us very strongly all the time we had been there.  Truly the Lord answers prayer and turns the hearts of men to do his will.”

THE GREATEST OF PHYSICIANS.

Miss X. of Brooklyn, had suffered long and severely from a distressing tumor.  One physician after another had plied his skill, but to no purpose; even the celebrated Doctor Simms of New York, corroborated their verdict, that there was no help for her but in the knife.  She finally consented to that terrific method, but was in no condition of strength to bear the operation.  It was decided to postpone it till the 22d of June.  Twelve doctors were invited to be present.  Meanwhile a diet nurse sent from New York, remained with her, to prepare her system for the ordeal.

Three days preceding the one appointed for the operation, she was attacked by severe nausea, which lasted two days, and so weakened her that again the doctors were all notified by the attending one, that a further postponement was imperative, and a certain date fixed in November.

All this time her own prayers were unceasing, those of her friends added to her own; and many a remembrance in the Fulton Street meeting, cheered and encouraged her.

By November, the tumor had totally disappeared! That was two years ago.  She is still well, strong; able to walk three miles any time.

She is as certain that the whole cure was performed by the Lord in answer to all those fervent prayers, as she is certain she lives and moves.

HOW THE LORD PAID BACK THE $5.

Mr. H., missionary, was appealed to by a poor man who seemed almost distracted.  He had a wife and five children; one of them ill; had been sick himself for three months, and owed rent for the whole of that time.  The landlord had served him with a writ of ejectment, and he could get no other tenement, unless he could pay five dollars on the rent.  He had applied to a well-known society in Brooklyn; but they were entirely out of funds and gave him a note to the missionary, hoping he might have or find the desired help.  But missionaries’ pockets are more often depleted, than those of benevolent organizations, and the one in question was fain to take the applicant to a friend, whom we shall call Q.
