We recently held a week's meeting with the church at Maple Grove. The subject dwelt upon was the work of the Holy Spirit upon the heart. Close self-examination led to confession, and feelings of bitterness were largely removed. Then the Lord could work. We spoke on the importance of following God's Word in all things, and the Lord worked in behalf of those who were sick among us. Brother Harding, the elder of the church, was under the doctor's care. The doctor told him there was no medicine that could reach his case. We visited him, and read the promises of God to him. He knew there was power in God's word to heal; but he felt he could not accept it in his case. As we continued to read the precious Word, his faith took hold of the promises for himself, and he requested that all the church meet at his house. Friday evening, at the beginning of the Sabbath, a goodly number came, and we talked on the importance of taking God at his word. Then we all knelt together, and asked the Lord to make our brother whole. After prayer, we anointed him in the name of the Lord. Two of Brother Harding's sons were present; one said, "If father is healed, I will never doubt God's word again." I believe if all would follow God's word, we should see more of his power to convince sinners. Next day (Sabbath) Brother Harding was present at the meeting, and testified of God's healing power. Sunday one of Brother Harding's son was buried in baptism.

Come, dear brethren and sisters, let us all taste and see that the Lord is good; his word is just as sure in our case as in the one here mentioned. The time has come for all of God's servants to be clothed with his power, and go forth to proclaim the message he gives. By God's assisting grace we expect to go forward until the Lord says the work is finished.
