was great sufferer from cancer, there
can be no doubt, that he came dowr
near TO the border land is true, that he
is now able to be about and attend tC

SOUTH NEwBURY, VT, March 6, 96.
DR.. JOHN ALEX. OOwIE:-
Dear Brother in Christ: Bless God that
the day of miracles is not past, but that
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to-
day and forever.
Last January was healed of cancer
which several physicians had told me could
not be cured, and that must soon die.
Three years ago last June went to the
Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston
and had an operation. but the cancer broke
out again last spring. | was treated by
specia lists in Boston, until September, when
they SAID there was no help for me. My
limbs were swollen to my body. and the
discharge was so bad that used between
sixty and seventy towels every twenty-fOur
hours.
A sister in Christ sent me one of the
ar NE loo Is.,r. ToI H.,
ing of this paper to others as He has to me. J
l sent in request for prayer the last of
September. did not experience any par
ticular change at the time, except this, that
the disease grew, no worse. got so much
strength and encouragement spiritually
from the Leaves of Healing that | not once
feel but that the Lord would heal me, If |
did my part, and the lesson of faith and
trust that learned was worth all it cost.
On December 28th physician called at
the house, and he told my family that my
days were numbered, and if had any bus
mess to look after, | had better do so at
once. But about that time | got such
blessing and the evidence that would be
healed.
My cancer has all disappeared, and am
well from that, thanks be to the Dear Lord,
and to you and Mrs. Dowie for prayers.
Please lind enclosed check for one hun
dred dollars to be used as seemeth best to
you in this good cause.
Yours in the love of Jesus,
AFRO b. RODGERS.
We publish this letter without the
knowledge or consent of Mr.. Rodgers.
We have had several conversations
with him on the subject of hia cure,
and believe he is sincere and that he
will not object to the publication of
these facts. DR.. Dowie claims no DER. |
sonal power, he is healing by the thou
sands and is doing it on the good old |
fashioned bible principle. Ponder
these things and draw your own con.
illusions.
A trout farm where the business of |
artificially rearing trout for the mar
kets would be curiosity to the aver
age Vermont agriculturist, yet that
sort of farming is an important indus
try ON Cape Cod. 1t was our good
fortune TO recently visit farm. That
low, sandy, rolling country is not wa
tered by pure mountain brooks such as
VermOnter might believe necessary
for the thrifty and abundant existence
OF speckled brook trout, but pure cold
water is procured by sinking Artesian
wells from five to twenty feet. Also
many natural springs furnish clear,
pure water, which seldom rises above
a temperature of from forty to fifty.
Mr.. FL. f. Hurlburt of No. Lincoln
street, Lynn, owns one of the best and
most productive farms on the Cape,
situated at East Freetown. AS Fish /
commissioner, your correspondent has
many inquiries for trout fry for stock !
ing private ponds. Mr.. Hurlburt not !
only sells every year thousands of dol. !
lars worth of trout weighing from one
half to Que pound, but sells hundreds a
of thousands of trout fry for stocking 7
private waters. He is a square dealer, :
and IL gives us pleasure to introduce a
him TO any Vermonter in need of S
young trout. This is the season of the b
year for planting trout fry.
