is thus: The Doctor did trust in the promise of
an unseen God, whom he had tested in the past many hundred times, and
who had always been faithful in keeping his promises, and his faith knew
that his God would not suffer his own work to fail nor suffer reproach.

Still further to silence the skeptic, let it be said that after the
robbery became known, the sympathy for the institution became so much
greater, that the contributions voluntarily sent in consequence thereof
replaced the three thousand dollars within thirty days, and produced far
more in excess, to go towards other needs. Thus an adversity became a
blessing. The Lord uses sorrow to produce good.

A WOMAN DELIVERED FROM THE HABIT OF DRINKING.

"I visited a family for whom I have felt a deep interest for weeks past.

One building was sold in October, and the remaining four in November.

"one who knoweth all things," who hears and helps in financial as well
as in spiritual necessities.

ASKING FOR LARGE GIFTS.

Upon the 26th of September the record of the Home was as follows: "There
is due on the first of next month, $2,450 interest on our property, and
we are now within four days of the time, with not a dollar towards it.
For several days I have been asking that amount of the Lord
