Mrs. Whitney's Cure In Answer To Prayer.


Mrs. C.S. Whitney of Hartford, Conn., a lady well known for her

Christian work among the poor, thus gives in a letter to Dr. Patton, her

personal testimony of the efficacy of prayer:



"Three years ago, I was healed of a bodily disease. I had been troubled

from my birth with canker, and at times suffered greatly. I had

consulted some of the best physicians in the land, and had been treated

by the most skill
ul. My case was said to be incurable. When I learned

to trust Christ for everything, I applied to Him for healing. My husband

joined with me in this prayer for three weeks; but all the time I was

growing worse. I then prayed for entire submission. About the first of

October, 1872, my stomach, throat and mouth were so cankered, I could

scarcely eat anything. One day, I took up the little book entitled,

'Dorothea Trudel;' and while reading, I seemed to hear a voice saying

unto me, _'All things are possible unto him that believeth.' 'According

to thy faith be it unto thee.'_ I claimed the faith, and immediately

asked God to heal me, and in His own way. While yet on my knees, it

seemed very clear to me that I should go to Boston, and ask Doctor

Cullis to pray with me. I obeyed that leading, and made preparations to

go the day following. Just as I was ready to start for the depot, I

realized that I was cured. An entire change was wrought in my system,

and my soul was filled with joy and gratitude."
