On returning from the country a few evenings since, I found a call to "come quickly" awaiting me. Arrived at the house, I found a little girl about ten years old suffering with what the M. D. termed typhoid malaria, which he had failed to relieve. The child was crying with pain, in the presence of parents and sympathizing friends, when I requested her to be taken to a room where we could be alone together. The request being granted, I followed. The moment I entered, the pain ceased, and the child fell asleep. About five minutes later, the mother carried her to her own room and dressed her for bed, without waking her. She slept about half an hour, then waked and ran about saying: "I'm well!" She then went to sleep again, and did not wake until morning; since which time she has not felt a pain. The day following, she felt a little weakness; which was caused by her mother's fear that she was not able to play in the yard with her playmates, as she wished to do.
The mother had lost two children; and, when this last and only one was taken sick, she was overcome with fear. A disciple of Truth, having been healed himself, urged her to try Science for the child—who herself knew (as she expressed it) that if the lady would come, she would not be sick. She found it so. Innocence and purity destroy guilt and fear. (See Daniel vi, 22.) They are elements which cannot blend. One is Truth, the other is error; and when Truth appears, error disappears. This realization belongs to Eternity, and time does not enter into the work. It is God who realizes; and He is everywhere at all times, under all conditions, and now is His accepted time—the day of salvation from sickness and from sin.
Two young men called a few weeks ago. One had suffered five weeks with inflammatory rheumatism, and the other had suspended business for about two months, on account of heart disease. I commenced treatment with both on Wednesday. On the Monday following, they both went to work on the farm, and have not lost an hour's time since. Surely the harvest is great, and the laborers few!—
