Mercies Acknowledged.

By Geo. W. Amadon

DEAR BRETHREN: I desire to say to the praise of God, that I am apparently fast recovering from my sickness, which has confined me to my bed for over three weeks. My disease was the typhoid fever, which brought me quite low. During this sickness, I was under the care of the physicians of the Health Institute, located in this city, consequently have taken no drugs into my system to poison my life currents, and so retard my restoration to health. I feel that during my affliction, God has truly been very good and merciful to me. Whilst others at the same time, with the same disease, have been cut down, my unprofitable life has been spared, for which I sincerely praise the name of the Lord. The enemy has not been permitted to triumph, and in due time, with God’s blessing, I again expect to resume my duties in the Office.
The feelings of my heart at this time, are well expressed in Ps. cxxxvi, 1. “Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth forever.”
GEO. W. AMADON.
