I think I have never so truly appreciated the value of our Journal as I did on one occasion last week. I received word to go to see a lady, who had been suffering with a seemingly severe illness for some months. When I was asked to take the case I agreed to do so with somewhat of a sense of doubt as to my ability. After giving a treatment I left her, and all the way home there were many "fightings within and fears without," for error argued that I had not had sufficient experience to enable me to handle properly the case.
Upon reaching home I found that the March Journal had just been delivered, and I immediately took it to my room with the feeling that I would find therein a word of help and encouragement. I turned to the first article, entitled "Confidence," and after reading it carefully and thoughtfully, I found that the sense of responsibility and the feeling that I, myself, had so much to do had disappeared, and the burden was laid at the feet of Truth. Fears and doubts were removed, and I was able to proceed with the work with perfect assurance and confidence.
When visiting the patient the second time I went with confidence in Truth and success, instead of in error and failure, and as a consequence I found a bright, happy, and changed woman. She seemed very grateful, too, for the speedy help received.
