E. R. HOWELL

I was a physical wreck, had taken medicine until it had but little effect on me, yet I thought I could not live without it, since I had no other God to which I could go as a "very present help" in sickness. I was religious, and could easily believe God would comfort me when in sorrow, but never dreamed that His power could reach physical conditions.

At last my brother, who was a physician wrote me saying, "i have found what you have always been seeking, and been healed of my heart trouble, and will have you treated if you wish it." I made up my mind that I would go to him and see the practitioner. She was a lady whom I had known when we were girls, but we had not met for a few years. I thought, however, that I could not just then afford to take up the proposition of being helped, as I had an ailment that demanded present help, and possibly surgical treatment, and I was limited for money. I did not then see that we are free to come and drink "without money and without price." I therefore answered him that I was short of money, but would consider his kindness later, and so dismissed it from my thought for the time, though fully decided that I would go later and learn all I could about healing in this way, for I so longed to be able to help others. I had always believed Jesus taught this healing, but had long since given up searching the Scriptures and praying for the gift.

I became very sick, and had the services of a doctor until he told me, when I was almost beyond the horizon of hope, that "all material remedies were now being tried, and that it would just have to wear itself out." You can imagine my dismay, for I was suffering from an illness that would soon destroy its victim.
