before. Moreover the knee which had been partially stiff for so many years was made entirely well. In fine, her body, which had been so full of pain, became at once free from pain, and full of health. "The week after she was healed she went fifty miles to attend a camp-meeting, riding five miles in a carriage, the rest by cars. A near neighbor said, 'She will come back worse than ever.' Though the weather was especially bad, she came back better than when she went." These are but few out of many expressions respecting her extraordinary recovery, which fully satisfy the believing Christian that _the Great_ Physician is with us now, "_healing the lame_," and curing the sick. It is faith only, unyielding, which the Lord requires ere he gives his richest blessing.

The man and his wife thanked their Heavenly Father for sending it in this way in answer to prayer.'" RECOVERY FROM DANGEROUS ILLNESS. Dr. Newman Hall was once visiting, on his dying bed, John Cranfield, son of the great originator of ragged schools, under the ministry of Rowland Hill. "We were conversing on prayer. He said, 'A remarkable instance occurred in connection with my father. The former organist of Surry Chapel, Mr. Howard, was dangerously ill. He was greatly beloved, and his friends met for special prayer that God would spare his life. My father on that occasion was remarkably earnest in asking that the life of his friend might be lengthened, as in the case of Hezekiah. The next day h
