Some years ago a testimony of mine was printed in the Sentinel. In it I gave thanks for supply which became apparent when trust in God was established and when the fear felt during the years of an economic depression was overcome. Since that time I have had many further opportunities to prove God's healing power and His ever-present provision for man.

When our children's education was finished, my husband and I thought it right for us to move into town so that we should be able to undertake more work in our branch church. Houses were scarce and expensive, but at once we found what was needed at a price we could afford. However, we had great difficulty in selling our old one. For six months much patience had to he practiced and several disappointments overcome, but we clung to the fact that God governs all right activity. Twice the new house nearly slipped through our fingers because the necessary money was not forthcoming.

But so sure were we that this was a right step that we signed the agreement for the new house before the sale of our old house was in sight. To be brief, the sale was successfully carried through two days before we had to make payment for the new one and was made to a family who were delighted with the whole transaction. During this time the sixth verse of the twenty-third Psalm was often in our thoughts, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."
