Editor Journal: — Will not the following brief testimony of one of my patients help on our blessed cause? Her case was one most interesting to me for she was in a state of mind where she did not even believe there was a God when I met her, but after the third treatment, she told me such peace of mind was coming to her as she had not experienced before for years.
