lined to her he'd six months, q helpless

inches shorter than the other, the knee
and hip joints were so stiff as TO render

Spirit Z and made whole. Her
limbs suddenly became of equal
length, the stiffness of the joints depart
ed, the spine Strengthened, and she was
able to discard her crutches and walk un-
aided to the platform, where she gave her
first testimony of the power of God to
heal the human body.
She said the lameness was entirely re-
moved. She went to school, was able to
take regular exercise In the gymnasium
and was perfectly well and strong. For

be treated by physician; simply prayed
and took new holi on Gods promises
and drove the fever away.
