laborers, doctors. lawyers, teacher s
and milionaires. and described them
as the pleasantest people that he had
ever seen. There are twelve
churches in Chicago and eleven in
New York, and Christian SCIENCE
churches scattered all over the
world, and many of these churches
cost as high as two and one-half mil
lion dollars, and were never known
to ask or beg single dollar from
anyone, except free gifts from those
who were healed from their burdens
when all other means failed. Our
Seattle Bible student describes
Christ suffering, but you will find
by a close study of the language OF
the bible that the word sufferer
means he allowed it, and to prove
this that Christ could not have pains,
he allowed them to nail him to the
cross so the people could see his
power of resurrection and another
proof that, Christ could not have
pain is, the three men who were
put in the fiery furnace, the bible
says that their hair was not burnt
or hurt, and the man put in the
lions den; Gods power keeps them
from pain and suffering. could
give several other proofs, but | am
going to give you proof of Gods
power to help when we call on him
and are sincere. About Is years
ago man by the name of Rosberg
and | were hunting in the mountains
for LOST gold mine in terribly
rough mountain in this state. We
were travelling in sight of each other
and in one place there was very
high bluff of rocks and a narrow
shelf of space feet wide. The
man crossed in this place and when
he got half way the rock gave way
and he fell so feet to the rocks. /
was looking at him and when | got
him there was no sign of life in
him; his arm was broken and his
head, face and legs were cut. |
cried and prayed to God to put life
back into this mans body so | could
take him back to his wife and chill
dren, and in the course of an hour |
found life was coming into him.
The next thing was, how was 60
ing to get him out of the mountain,
three and one-half miles from the
nearest help and only one man and
his wife and within lC miles from
a doctor, and if l would leave him
in that part of the mountain the
cougars would eat him while | went
for help. So | prayed to God to
give me power to carry the man to a
place where there was water. The
man weighed 21O pounds The dis
lance was one-half mile and | car
ried him. Some of the places were
so steep | would drag him. Once |
had him on my back and slipped and
we both rolled four or five times ov-
er each other. Finally / got him
over to the foot of the mountain
then l built a fire and gave him
drink out of my shoe and went 3
miles for the man and wife. They
both came and we three carried him
to his house on a stretcher and |
slept with him that night and !
prayed to God and there were no
complaints, and he in that condition.
The next morning / went 10 miles
for doctor and carriage and took
the man back to his family and the
man is today living witness.
There is man in this city by the
name of Tom Steele who lived at
the time where this man and family
lived and he got the whole account
from Rosberg, and ne is as honora-
BILE and Trustworthy as any man in
this state, and any man can see him
in this city. But my Seattle Bible
student will say those things are
not done by the power of God.
Christ said he that believeth on the
power of God shall never die, mean
ing the soul or spirit.
