instances in which her prayers had been answered in the removal of divers forms of disease to which she was subject.  She also repeated a number of passages of Scripture, which clearly justified the expectation of being healed in answer to the prayer of faith.  She also said that Jesus had shown her that he was just as ready to heal diseases now as he was when on earth; that such healing was expressly promised in Scripture, in answer to the prayer of faith, and that it was nowhere taken back.  These facts, reasonings, and passages of Scripture, made a deep impression on my mind, and, for the first time, I found myself able to believe that Jesus would heal me in answer to prayer.  She asked me if I could join my faith with hers and ask for present healing.  I told her I felt that I could.  We then knelt, and called upon the Lord.  She offered a mighty prayer to God, and I followed.  While she was leading in prayer I felt a quickening in my whole being, whereupon my pain subsided, and when we rose from prayer I felt that a great change had come over me, that I was cured.  I found that I could walk without my staff or crutch, or any assistance from any one.  Since then my pains have never returned; I have more than my youthful vigor; I walk with more ease and rapidity than I ever did in my life, and I never felt so fresh and young as I now do, at the age of fifty-two.

“Now, the hundred and third psalm is my psalm, and my youth is more than renewed, like the eagle’s.  I cannot express the constant joy of my heart for the wonderful healing of my soul and body.  I feel as if I was every whit made whole.”

The testimony of eye-witnesses to this healing is as follows: 

“We were all present at the time of the healing, and know the facts to be true.  We are all Christians, and have no interest in deceiving anybody, and would by no means dishonor God by stating more than the exact truth.  Since the healing, Mrs. Miller is still with us, and in excellent health.  Neither the severe cold of last Winter, nor the extreme heat of this Summer, has at all injured her health.  From our first acquaintance with her, she has been so lame as to be unable to walk, except by the aid of crutches.  Since which time she has been able to walk without help, and appears perfectly well.”

Her husband, also adding his testimony, says: 

“She has been unable to walk without crutches for a series of years.  A long time ago, we tried many remedies and physicians, with no lasting good results, and were expecting she would remain an invalid.  Of late, she had applied no remedy, nor taken any medicine.  At the time of her cure, she was much worse than for a long while before, being in great pain continually, until the moment she fully believed, and, in an instant, she was restored to perfect soundness.  From that moment to this she has not felt a particle of her former complaint.

“She can now walk for miles as fast as I wish to, without feeling very much fatigue, does all her own housework, and attends seven meetings during the week.  In short, she is stronger, and seems as young and spry, as when we were married, thirty-two years ago.  The work of the dear Savior in her cure seems to be perfect, and she is an astonishment to all who knew her before and see her now.  To His name be all the praise.
