CURED BY PRAYER.
A Remarkable Case of Healing in Rock
port.

The Camden Herald of this week contains
the following remarkable story of healing al
legged to be due to prayer. Mr.. Henry f.
Thurston, who vouches for it, is the step-son OF
the lady who was cured, and is endorsed by
the Rev. G. E. Libby as gentleman OF char
acter and good standing, and member OF the
Free Baptist church in Rockport:
In the spring of 1880, Mrs. Sylvia Thurston,
while returning home from church, steppe q
into a hole in the road, and was thrown WIZ
such violence to the ground that her back was
severely injured and the bones of her ankle
and foot were wrenched out of joint.
The injury sustained by the foot was so great
that it was almost impossible to replace the
bones in any kind of position. For two montns
she suffered intensely from fever brougnt on
by the injuries to her back, and it was three
months before she could sit up. But when she
to walk save by the aid of crutches. Inc
broken leg was useless and never ceased to
pain her. 1t was swollen from the toes to the
knee and was colored dark purple. The cir
culatlon was almost stopped, and the leg ana
foot became cold. The foot was bent out OF
position so that only the toes touched the
floor. The family physician exhausted his
skill upon it, and after several months ceased
to doctor it, believing that only a higher pow
or could heal it. Instead of medicine he re-
Orted 10 prayer.
At last Mrs. Thurston, herself ceased to
work with it, and she too commenced to pray
for its restoration
One doctor said it must be cut off or it would
mortify, or else wither away and die. If the
limb was cut off he desired to purchase it for
scientific purposes About this time she was
taken sick with diphtheria and her step-son
came from Rockland to take care of her. One
day he was telling her of lame man down
East who was healed by the prayers of Fred
McKenney, evangelist from, Portland.
Both at once determined to pray for the res
toration of the impotent limb, and both kept
their determination.
That night the foot was SO bad that even the
drawing of sheet over it gave her intease
pain. In the morning the foot, ankle, and leg
were in all things like the other, and as strong.
Several hours afterward as her SON went to
her bedside to give her the medicine the
thought flashed upon him: If God healed the
foot can He not also cure her of this disease?
So he did not give her the medicine, but
went and kneeled down at sofa in front of
her bed and there silently prayed.-''Oh Lord!
make her every whit WHOLE" Immediately
his mother, though looking at him when he
knelt, dropped off to sleep and dreamed that
the room was full of people, all exclaiming:-
You are made every whit whole.' In short
time she awoke and, in attempting to tell her
dream, found that she was indeed every whit
whole. That morning she rose up and dressed
herself and on the following Sabbath attended
church. HENRY F. THURsTON.
