Daily Proofs of God's Care

Grace S. Adams

Each week we read in the Sentinel of wonderful demonstrations of the Truth, and they are of great interest to us all, but we seldom are told of cases of healing in or about Boston. I have felt for a time it would be well for some of us here to tell a few of the many wonderful things that almost daily come under our notice, as it would add to our good work if we make the effort to let the world near about us realize the fact that we are quite ready to testify as to the truth of our statements and the information can be had near at hand. This fact will do much toward impressing our friends who are not in Science. We want them to realize that God's healing is here as well as far away.

I wish to tell of a case of healing in my own family. My son had been spending a few weeks in a logging camp in the northern part of Vermont, and being in the woods a whole day, the weather very cold although still early in November, he froze two toes on one foot, snow having worked into his boot. He remained in the camp a week, suffering greatly. At the end of that time he managed to get home. We realized that help must be had immediately as a surgeon would have amputated the large toe. We knew, however, that it could be saved.

We sent for a practitioner who came to the house twice, and the rest of the treatment was given absently. The circulation again started in both toes. The nails dropped off but new ones seemed to crystallize, as it were, into form, instead of growing up from the quick as is usual. At the end of ten days my son put on his ordinary shoes, and went out of doors with no lameness whatever. During the days he was confined in the house, he sat with his foot up on a chair with a handkerchief laid over it. No material means were used. We waited with perfect faith, knowing that God would do His work. The healing was complete and far quicker than we had dared to hope for.
