A NEW BIRTH.

“Give thanks with me.  Since I wrote you last, our son has given himself to Jesus.”

A CHURCH SAVED FROM STRIFE.

“It is with heartfelt gratitude to God that I write you of answer to your prayer.  Last Spring, I asked your prayers in behalf of our church.  It was almost destroyed by a man trying to get into our Conference without proper papers, and could not.  He then broke up a Presbyterian church, and formed another.  He gathered a number of our members with him, and tried hard to take our parsonage, but did not succeed.  Thank God! though we are few, and have had a hard struggle, we still hold our property, our circuit has doubled, God is reviving His work, and is now answering your prayers”

REASON RESTORED.

“Last March, I requested you to pray for a dear friend in Massachusetts, who was deprived of her reason through sickness and great trouble. Give thanks unto God, she is fully restored."

“Arise And Walk.”

“It will be just one year since Jesus came and took me by the hand, and I arose from what was supposed to be my death-bed, and walked to the astonishment of all.  I have not claimed the fullness of the promise, but feel that I may.  I prayed God not to heal my body wholly, until I was more patient under my cross.”

THE APPETITE FOR STRONG DRINK TAKEN AWAY.

“Sometime ago I wrote to you for my husband.  He was a victim to strong drink at that time, but blessed be God, he has not drank one drop for five months.”

SPIRITUAL STRENGTH.

“I feel your prayers; I think I know the day and the hour, for I felt strengthened with strength in my soul.”

HEALING OF SOUL AND BODY.

“I have reason to rejoice that I have been greatly blessed in answer to your prayers.  Two young lady friends of mine have been enabled to claim the blessed promise of full salvation, not only to the healing of the soul, but the body also.

My own experience helped them:  On the 16th of January, last, in answer to constant prayer offered by myself and friends, I arose from what all thought to be my death-bed, and walked all over the house; also many miles on the streets during the next few months.  I did not claim the full extent of the promise as I craved only relief from such terrible pain, as was then my portion to bear.  I think God in his goodness would have granted full restoration to health, as I was so anxious to work for Him, but I pleaded with Him not to heal my body until my mind had had the discipline I felt it needed.”
