Prayer Answered.

By William Boynton

I DESIRE to express my thanks to God, through the REVIEW, for his great goodness to me. Thursday, Jan. 9, 1873, he graciously raised me up from a severe illness, in answer to prayer. And I can say with David, “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.”
What a blessed thought, that the God of Heaven will stoop so low as to listen to the cry of us poor mortals, and make our extremity his opportunity to show his wondrous love. How apt we are to forget his benefits! hence the admonition, “Forget not.”
I desire to consecrate myself anew to his service, and strive with more earnestness to advance the cause of truth. The Lord is in this work. Let us be co-workers with him, that we may share in the final victory.
WILLIAM BOYNTON.
