Concord, N. H., April 20, 1905,

Beloved Leader:—I have not thanked you, on paper, for our new Journal, with its vernal cover; and best of all, your deeply suggestive poem, "Whither." The last verse is truly a beautiful answer to the query, Whither? It was a pleasure to see Judge Jones' able article republished.

The aged mother of one our Concord people, who lives in Conway, N. H., has recently had a beautiful case of healing. Two M.D.'s had declared that there was no hope, except through an operation, and a trained nurse from Portland had been sent for. The day preceding that fixed for the operation, the son reached his mother's bedside. He found the doctors in consultaton, but he refused to accept their hopeless verdict. On gaining his mother's consent, he asked his sister to discharge the M.D.'s, and going to the telephone, he explained the case, and asked me to take it, which I did. On reaching home from the telephone office he found his mother better, and at supper she partook of nourishment. That night she rested comfortably, and morning found a decided improvement. The death pallor had left the face, the fever had gone, and she ate a hearty breakfast. Soon after breakfast who should arrive but one of the M.D.'s It appears that the sister had failed to discharge the physicians, but had said that they might call in the morning. The doctor went to the patient, and expressed his surprise at the change in appearance. He placed the thermometer under her tongue and was dumbfounded to find that the instrument showed a perfectly normal temperature. Then came the second M.D., with a similar surprise. They said that they could not understand it, and agreed that an operation was not necessary. That afternoon, instead of having an operation, the happy mother was up and made biscuits for the family. I am told that the case has excited much comment in Conway and has interested many in Science. "Who is so great a God as our God?" Lovingly,
