J tion with Ratana, the famous faith 1 h'eaier:-—"l'm cured. Whatever do /# you think of it? It seems-all too marvellous and wonderful to be true. I cannot seem to realise it yet. Of course you have heard of ( Ratana. Well, I wrote to him, . thinking he might be able to cure me, but I never really thought I would be. I wrote to him. on the Thursday aiid we all (Mr and Mrs — — —and I) prayed hard that I might be cured, and on Friday evening the three of us knelt down in the kitchen before going to bed and each of us prayed earnestly ; that I might be cured. Well, that, night at midnight I had. abeaatiI ful vision. I saw Ratana ami told him I wanted to be cured, and he said: Go, you are cured, and away. II went as happy as I could be. j Then such a thrill went through me, and I woke up. Then, the following Monday I received Ratana's reply, telling me tc believe in God and trust in Him and pray earnestly that whatsoever I ask in the name of the Father, Son .end Holy Ghost would be granted. He also said he would pray, too, to God to grant me my request. When.' I read his letter I went out and tipped out all my medicine, and that is nearly a fortnight ago. I ■went out the day after I got Ratana's letter 'all alone' for the first time for ten years. It is grand, I can tell you. I had been wondering how I could 'know' when I was cured. Oh, Molly, I • cannot find words to explain how I feel. It all seems just a dream. I will never be able to thank God enough for the way he has blessed me.. I didn't tell mother I was , going to write to Ratana, and j 'when I told her I was cured she . was stunned.' " j ! Miss Gilmour has been suffering from rheumatism for many years, and was a confirmed invalid. She could not get about without assistance. '
