Mrs. Deliah King, universally known as
"Mother King" passed her 102 milestone in
life, yesterday, Friday, January q. Her
testimony has appeared in Lea1es of Heal
ing and been sent around the world many
times. In the year 1884, while living in
Oakland, California, she was stricken with
horrible and malignant cancer of the
tongue. When Dr. Dowie arrived in San
Francisco in 1883 she attended his meetings
and listened to his clear, vigorous teaching
on Divine Healing; as a result she threw
away all her medicines and trusted God for
healing When Dr. Dowie looked into her
throat he saw it swollen and spotted with
cancer Holes were eaten in her tongue
and throat. He placed his finger on the
cancer and prayed in the name of the Lord
Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and
in accordance with the will of God, Our
Heavenly Father and from that instant she
was healed She has never suffered
particle of pain from cancer from that day
to this.
Deaconesses Buhmann and Schelhorn,

A young deacon and his wife recently
mailed out some copies of Leaves of Heal
ing to friends Here is what they say about
it: among the rest, we sent papers to two
ladies, neither of whom had ever seen the
Leaves of Healing before. One of them inn
mediately wrote to us and said that she had
sat up the night before reading the paper
and was so interested she was sending $500
for years subscription. The other wrote
saying she was so pleased with the paper
that she had presented her husband with a
years subscription as a Christmas gift. This
shows that it certainly pays to send out
Leaves of Healing.
