AN INvALID's EXPERIENCE.
Ihad been an invalid for long time.
My first trouble was dyspepsia, fifteen years
ago, and siAce then l have suffered from a
complication OF diseases which bafiied the
skill Of the best physicians, and from the
effect OF which became little more than q
physical wreck. My nervous system was
completely prostrated, and had almost
abandoned any hope ofrestoration to health.
l was 80 weak that could scarcely walk
across the street and remained on couch
a greater part Of the day. Such was my
condition when relief came. had always
great faith in prayer, but thought the
Lord would not stoop to such person as |,
for had not been as faithful as might
have been.
On Sunday morning, March 8, as l lay in
bed, the thought occurred to me: why
do / not ask the Lord to help me?" While
thus rejecting neighbor came into the
room and said that she had been discuss.
ing my case with Rev. r. II. Ramsey, an
Evangelist, and that he had desire to see
and pray for me, and she asked me il |
would receive such visit. l told her !
would, but at the same time expressed the
belief that had not sufficient faith to do
any good. was glad to make the trial at
any rate, and Mr.. Ramsey came and anoint-
ed and prayed with me.
A SACRED APPARITIoN.
l felt no immediate effects that day, but
l continued to hope and pray. The follow
ing afternoon, when was alone in my
room, it was made known to me that my
disease was stayed, and that II ! continued
to do my duty would be entirely cured.
] was 80 rejoiced that l felt that my soul
would leap from my body. You must un.
derstand that my relief was attended by no
excitement. had not been attending any
revival, neither had l been receiving friends
who had talked with me on the subject.
The Lord came to me when | was alone in
my room and knew that was TO be healed.
When Mr.. Ramsey anointed me he not
only prayed for me bodily, but also for my
spiritual welfare, and the healing Of my
soul was 80 perfect that am inclined to
think that the healing ofthe body naturally
accompanied il. You cannot imagine my
extreme Joy when realized this.
Mrs. Reynolds has continued to improve
and feels that she should make public her
testimony.
