need to keep all the other children well. Fourth, a servant must be sent
to take care of the house--though my income was so small that a servant
seemed out of the question, and only the strictest economy was making
both ends meet. Fifth, a Christian lady would need to be willing to take
care of the children, and act as my housekeeper in my absence from home.
Sixth, sufficient money would need to be sent to meet the extra expenses
incurred by my leaving home.

Yet, as I laid these difficulties before the Lord, I received the
definite assurance that he would open the way.

My son was brought back to Toronto on a stretcher, the doctor not
allowing him to raise his head; but on arrival he would not obey
orders, declaring that he was so well he could not and would not remain
still. Fearing the consequences of his disobeying orders, I telephoned
for the doctor to come at once. On his arrival he gave the lad a
thorough examination, and then said: "Well, I cannot make him out; all I
can say is, let him do as he pleases."

Within a month the boy was going back to his high school, apparently
quite well. Some months later he applied for a position as forester
under the government. He had to pass through the hands of the official
doctor. My son told him of his recent illness, and of what the doctor
had said concerning his heart; but this physician replied: "In spite of
all you have told me I can discover nothing whatever the matter with
you, and will therefore give you a clear bill of health."

As for myself, I did not go to the hospital; for all the symptoms that
had seemed to require it left me, and I became perfectly well. A servant
was sent to me who did her work sympathetically, as helping me to do the
Lord's work. A married niece, living near, offered to stay in the home
whenever I needed to be absent.

And so there remained but one condition unfulfilled--the money. But I
believed this would come as I went forward; and it did. Each month that
followed, as I made up my accounts, I found that my receipts exceeded my
expenditures sufficiently to enable me to spend money for work in China,
and to purchase things which I needed for China, including an organ. All
these accounts were laid before our beloved Mission Board secretary, who
approved them.

Under these circumstances I dared not refuse invitations to speak. Yet,
so weak was my faith, for months I never left home for a few days
without dreading lest something sh
