A Severe Tumor Healed

During the year 1872, there was under the professional care of Dr. Cull is, at the Consumptive’s Home, a Christian lady with a tumor which confined her almost continuously to her hed in severe suffering. All remedies were unavailing, and the only human hope was the knife; hut feeling in my own heart the power of the promise, I one morning sat down by her hedside, and taking up the Bible, I read aloud, God’s promise to his believing children. “And the prayer of faith shall save the sicky and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him,’

I then asked her if she would trust the Lord to remove this tumor and restore her to health and to her missionary work. She replied, “I am willing to trust the Lord for it.”

I then knelt and anointed her with oil in the name of the Lord, asking Him to fulfill his own word. Soon after I left she got up and walked three miles. From that time the tumor rapidly lessened until all trace of it at length disappeared.
