4 St Petersburg workman related TO HIM
sad story ofdomestic woe. His wife was
bedriddeu, his elder son a confirmed
drunkard, his only daughters where
abouts were unknown, and the younger
son was losing his sight through disease
Father John said he would intercede for
the relief of the workman by prayer, and
told him he might expect a result on
Christmas eve. On that evening the
workman wife arose, dressed and went
about her housework, which she had not
done for years. Later the elder son
entered the house, his eyes filled with
tears of penitence aud declaring that he
had reformed. Then the younger son
arrived stating than an ocuist had told
him his eyes were cured To complete
the parents joy the daughter returned.
explaining her absence satisfactorily
rhe next day the workman received
letter from Father John saying he had
reason to believe that the prayers had
been heard and asking for confirmation.
