Trusting God Through Illness
SR. C. M’NEIL of N. H. sends an account of her experience in trusting in God, from which we take the following extract: I have been racked with rheumatic pains for more than three months, for two weeks unable to be moved from my bed, which seemed like a bed of thorns to me all the while; but my trust was in God, who doeth all things well, although I could see nothing but death and darkness before me. I began to sink down, and for twenty-four hours I could not get hold of any light, or faith that I should recover. It seemed I must go down to the grave. All I could do was to leave myself in the hands of the Lord, and trust my all with him. I cried to him to spare me a little longer. Light broke into my mind. I got the evidence that I should gradually recover; and so it has been. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and let all within me bless his holy name. Unto God be all the glory and all the praise. I surrender my all anew to his service.
