Ny Dear Friends:

Ny Dear Friends:
| am now making my own volunteer
statement because this lady has caus-
ed me to be so happy. I would like
so much to give you my name, but l
hope YOU know why. l went with 4
young man two years and we spat all
the time. We were twice engaged and
he would disappOint me, until l con-
suited this wonderful lady. Now we
are married, and have been for near
three years He Is so nice and kind to
me. I told him a few months ago
Of this advice, and he would not
agree with me until he lost his job,
and he then made up his mind, and do
you know that my husband has one
of the best jobs of his life by consult
ing her. No matter what you want
to do or know, let her hear from you,
and I VOW you will never regret it. /
can not help believing that she is
sent of God to do just what she is
doing, and you never hear Of d thing
ugly that she has done [ visited her
during the K. of P. Supreme Lodge,
and I never met a nicer lady, l am d
Christian and a leader in a good many
church clubs. We chatted a good
deal of such things. l find her very
entertaining I am, as ever, her
friend,

To Whom 1t May Concern:
| have always been one Of those
that did not give any thought of this
until about four years ago l had a
great trouble and it cost me almost
every dime I had and my mother
asked me one day to tell some of this
trouble to this woman that we read
so much about in our papers. Mother
says. Il feel that she can help you.
I had to laugh with tears in my eyes,
for | was in jail; then finally I said,
Suit yourself; anything now, so |
come clear and get out Of here She
let this woman hear from her and
about me. We never can forget what
this woman said in reply. She said
in substance: "If you will pray and
trust God, I will do the crest" And
bless her today and forever, I was
called to trial, and every witness that
could be found spoke in my behalf,
and those who did not could not be
found I was returned to jail twice
and then set free. Do you blame me
for saying she IS a power unknown.
to help those who seek her aid? |
am now doing business for myself
and making good. Every month
send her twenty dollars | have done
this for four months, and shall always
divide my last dime with her. | am
her friend at all times.
