Personal

By E. J. VAN HORN

Owing to the fact that so many are inquiring about my health, I take this opportunity of speaking to the praise of Him who is able to help in time of need. My health is quite good, and has been ever since the season of prayer two years ago at Mt. Vernon, Ohio. I had evidence before the prayer for my deliverance, that the Lord would help me at that time.

In less than two hours after the prayer service I felt quite well, and have continued to improve, until I am physically better than for fifteen years previously.

One cause of my break-down was overwork, with insufficient sleep and rest. Then I had quite an accident ten years ago, but after five and one-half months at the sanitarium, I was able to resume my work, although I suffered more or less nearly all the time. I continued to labor until new difficulties arose, which were very hard for me to bear. At that time I had the care of a large church and mission, and also conducted aggressive work, holding sixty meetings in one of the suburbs of the city.

After my health gave out, I dreamed that God in mercy would again relieve me, which he did at the time already referred to. I am glad to tell all who may read this that the dear Lord is well able to do all he has promised.

My labors have been blessed of God, and many souls are rejoicing in the message, since I have taken up labor again. Dear brethren and sisters, have faith in God. Mark 11:22. My courage is good in the Lord, and the message is clear to my soul.
