A gentleman over fifty had belief of La Grippe. I treated for it. He got better, and went nearly half a mile to do chores the next morning, it being the worst weather we have had. The third day after, he was taken with belief of severe attack of catarrhal fever. I treated for it, but it did not yield as readily as at first. He would say every few minutes that he had some terrible fever. I said, "You have no fever"; but he persisted that he had, until these words came to me: "Jesus never argued aloud, but he just said, Get up, take thy bed and walk." After that when he would say, "I have a fever," I denied it silently, and in more earnest than ever. Then I opened the Bible at Second Chronicles, sixth chapter, first verse, and read: "The Lord has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness." All was light! I said, "You are better." He could not see it; but, after a few moments, he got up and sat up awhile. It being evening, he soon retired; and, to the surprise of all in the house he was up the first one in the morning, and went the same distance to do chores—and that was the last of his belief. —Mrs. J.
