Healed in Answer to Prayer
Bro. C. H. Eggleston writes from Looneyville, N. Y.: "For the first time as a Sabbath-keeper, I will try and pen a few lines in favor of present truth. I had an opportunity the past winter of hearing a course of lectures delivered by Brn. Cottrell and Saunders. After hearing a few sermons I became convinced that if any people had the truth they had it. "I attended regularly until a few evenings before the close, when I was taken suddenly ill. While upon the sick, and apparently death, bed, I had an opportunity to reflect upon the sinfulness of my past life. While thus reflecting, a relative of mine asked me to be prayed for. At first I was much surprised, and knew not what to say. At length I came to the conclusion that no earthly physician could help me. I therefore resolved to trust myself in the hands of the Lord; for if ever I was restored to my former health, he alone could do it. The church accordingly met and laid my case before the great Physician, and in answer to their earnest prayers, I was healed. "I feel to praise his holy name for what he has done for one so unworthy as I am; and it is my firm determination to spend the remainder of my life in his blessed cause. "I humbly ask the prayers of the brethren and sisters that I may prove faithful, and at last stand with the remnant on mount Zion." [This is the case referred to by Bro. Cottrell last week—Ed.]
