RS. "In pecuniary affairs, also, the Lord was their helper. Many times something had to be paid, and they had no means wherewith to meet the claims. Once, God actually sent aid by means of an enemy, who offered money; another time, _three thousand francs_ came from Holland, just as they were needed, and also unexpected on a third occasion they were about to borrow money to pay for bread, when two hundred and fifty francs arrived." THE FAITH LIFE OF MR. ZELLER. After the death of Dorothea Trudel, the work at Maennedorf, instituted by her, has been furthered and carried on by Mr. Samuel Zeller, who had been her associate.

Many cases have occurred where the suffering patient was utterly unable to come to Maennedorf, but prayer has been offered there in their behalf, and the answers have been as frequent as with the cases which have come under the same roof. "A brother living at R---- was seized with a violent fever, and appeared to be at death's door.
