A WOMAN DELIVERED FROM THE HABIT OF DRINKING.

“I visited a family for whom I have felt a deep interest for weeks past.  The father had been out of employment some time, and they have lacked food and clothing.  Much of their trouble has been caused by the intemperance of the mother.  Her husband has borne long and patiently with her, and although she would for a long time leave off drinking, it was only to fall again still lower.  While furnishing them with clothing, and assisting them in other ways, I besought the mother to give her heart to Jesus, knowing that he could keep her from falling.  She became, a constant attendant at our meetings.  Says “Jesus has taken her love for drink all away.”  One of her little ones, who is just beginning to talk, said the other day, “Mamma, you don’t drink now.”  They are a happy family, and their home is greatly changed.

PRAYER FOR PURCHASERS.

When removal to the new Home was determined upon, there still remained five of the old buildings on hand to be disposed of.  This too was taken to the Lord in prayer that he might send purchasers.

One building was sold in October, and the remaining four in November.  When it is considered that a portion was property usually very difficult of sale, and that no advertisement of it had been made, no other means than prayer resorted to, it must be convincing to all that there must be “one who knoweth all things,” who hears and helps in financial as well as in spiritual necessities.

ASKING FOR LARGE GIFTS.

Upon the 26th of September the record of the Home was as follows:  “There is due on the first of next month, $2,450 interest on our property, and we are now within four days of the time, with not a dollar towards it.  For several days I have been asking that amount of the Lord.”

Now here was a man depending wholly upon chance gifts for the livelihood of several hundred people, with a debt of over two thousand dollars to pay in four days.  His occupation and work were such that no one could even possibly think of making any loans, as there was no security.  Neither was it the principle or the practice of the Home ever to solicit a dollar.  What was to be done? It was taken to the Lord in prayer, and all waited the result.

Was it at all probable that so large a sum of money could be sent in so short a time by any one or any number of persons?

That evening a letter from the probate office at Exeter, N. H., was received by Dr. Cullis, informing them of the death of a citizen of Portsmouth, with a bequest to the Home of five thousand dollars.  The Lord answered their prayer the same day and sent double what was asked for.
