''the parents were both in bed seriously sick. and four small children were at prayer by tke bedside. When I went in the lit tie tots knelt about me and prayed rtat God would give me the power to save Papa and Mamma. Before left knelt and prayed with tkem. l be- lieve in the efficacy of prayer. I made two more visits during the day. just for the sake of the children. and will call again tonight. I firmly believe the earnest prayers of these children will not have been in vain. No, tnere is no want for worldly things in that home, and there will not be so iong as 1 am professionally connected with that family!"
