Interesting Incidents

II will take up only little of the time this
evening" and then [ will give way to others.
But want to relate few incidents which come
to my mind.
cat one home lady met me at the door.
After talking with her few moments, asked
her to buy copy Of the Leaves of Healing but
she refused, referring to it as a Dowie paper.
So passed on to the next place. When | ar
rived there the lady was busy talking over the
phone. When she had finished she came to
the door and greeted me rather coolly. She
said that her neighbor had just called her up,
and told her that | was 'Dowieite'. | asked
her if she had ever seen the Leaves Of Healing.
She said, Yes a relative of hers had been in
Zion years ago and lost some money there.
asked her if her relative had received anything
else in Zion, and she said that she had received
healing. l said We'll, I have lost few dol
lars there, but what | have received spiritually
has made the financial loss seem as nothing in
comparison [ told her that perhaps if her
relative had been out of Zion she would have
spent great deal more with the doctors than
the amount she had lost. She replied, That
might be true
81 then went on and told her many of the
truths taught in Zion, and after while she
purchased copy of the Leaves of Healing
After talking to her while longer about the
Scripture | offered prayer, and as [ asked God I
to bless her and her family in reading the
Leaves of Healing, both she and her father were
deeply touched AS I departed they grasped
me warmly by the hand and thanked me hearth
| ly for calling at their place.
| cat another place lady told me she had
read the Leaves of Healing years ago, her neigh
Dor having been connected with Zion at that
time. She pointed out his farmhouse across the
fields, and I walked over there. I found the
man working with some machinery at the barn
door, and as | walked up, said to him, Peace
to thee. He looked up quite surprised, and
said, That sounds good Then showed him
the Leaves of Healing, and he said, 4 am mighty
glad to see you around here with that paper.
We used to subscribe for the Leaves of Healing,
but somehow we discontinued. said to him,
Well brother, this is good time to renew your
subscription for year. He asked me the price,
and after I told him, he said, Come over to the
house and will give it to you.
II stayed there and talked with him until
quite late in the evening, and he finally invited
me to stay all night. I replied that I could
hardly do that because I had left Evangelist
Cunningham down at the garage working with
the automobile, but they said, Well, phone over
and have him come too did that, and we had
