Remarkable Answer to Prayer.
By L. G. Bostwick
BRO. WHITE: The following remarkable account of answer to prayer may be of some encouragement to God's people. The case is this. Sister S. Ward, who belongs to the church at Durand, Pepin Co., Wis., has for about ten years been sick, so that she has not been able to do her own work. About the first of October she was taken with a very severe attack on the lungs, so that she raised blood. Medical aid was at once sought, but no relief came. The doctor said at last that he could do nothing for her, and she was liable to die at any moment. Seeing that there was no help from earthly sources, she concluded to go to the Great Physician. The brethren and sisters were accordingly called in to pray for her, and as they prayed, they commenced to exercise faith in God, and the blessing of God rested down upon them, and sister Ward arose and dressed herself, and praised the Lord. She sat up that evening till about 9 o'clock. The next morning she got up and went to work, and the same week, did her own washing; something she has not been able to do for a number of years. Now, she is able to go to meetings through all kinds of weather, a privilege which she has not enjoyed for a great while. Sister Ward says she believes that if it had not been for the prayer of faith, ere this time she would have been laid in the silent tomb. But now, through the blessing of God, her health is better than it has been for a number of years. Dear brethren and sisters, why shall we not have faith in God, and believe his Son, that these signs shall follow them that believe? May God help his people to have more faith in his promises.
