FcoloIed woman,- Mrs. Edward Mix, Of
Wolcottyille, Conn, was credited with hav.
ing effected some wonderful cures by power
OF faith and prayer alone.
Mr.. Judd managed to make the patient
understand, and by her request her sister
Eva, twelve years of age, wrote to Mrs.
Nix that the sick girl believed that Mrs.
Mix's great faith might avail for her if she
woald only pray for her recovery. On the
10th of February the family received the
following: !
WoLcOTTvILLE, Conn, Feb. "a, 1879.
Miss Carrie r. Jutld: / received q line
from your sister Eva stating your case,
your disease, and your faig&fA can ercour.
age you by the word of Ge4 that according
TO your faith so be it untosyou, and besides
you have this promise "The prayer of
faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up" Whether the person is pre-
sent or absent, if it is prayer of faith it
is all the same, and God has promised to
raise up the sick ones, and if they have
committed sins, to forgive them. Now,
this promise is to you if you were the only
person living. Now, if you can claim that
promise l have not the least doubt but
what you will be healed. You will first
have to lay aside all the medicine of every
description. Use no remedies of any kind
for anything; lay aside trusting in the arm
Of flesh, and lean wholly upon God and his
promises. When you receive this letter,
want you to begin to pray for faith; and
Wednesday afternoon the female prayer
meeting is at our house. We will make
you subject Of prayer between the hours
OF and 4. want you TO pray for your
self, and pray believing, and then act faith.
1t makes no difference how you feel, but
get right out Of bed and begin to walk, by
faith. Strength will come, disease will
depart, and you will be made whole. We
read in the Gospel, Thy faith hath made
thee whole" Write soon.
Yours in faith
MRs EDWARD MIX.

letter. She dropped her medicines and
gave herSelf wholly into tho care of the
Almighty. She prayed as woll as she could
