ran with the father, mother and nurse after her. I was standing in the
middle of the room praising God. Finally she stopped and faced her father
and said, "Can't I run, daddy?" He said, "Sure you can, honey."
Her father came and put his arms around my neck weeping and said, "You
saved the life of my child." I answered, "No, I didn't." He said, "Who did
then?" I said, "You made a humble confession and asked one of the Lord's
servants to pray, and the Lord honored your faith and healed her." "Yes,"
he said, "but if you hadn't been here she would have been dead now."
A humble confession is a sure stepping stone to faith.

HEALED OF PARALYSIS
Not long ago the Lord said to me. "You go to such and such a church
tonight," which I did. After service was over, a man who had been paralyzed
from his waist down for a long time, asked me to pray for him. The prayer
of faith was offered and he was instantly healed. To corroborate the above,
will say that later I met a minister of another denomination who knew the
case and he said that this man had retained his healing.

DELIVERED FROM A SINKING SHIP
I wish to rewrite an incident given in Brother E. E. Byrum's book,
"Startling Incidents and Experiences in the Christian Life." As it was
given to him verbally, and I did not see the manuscript to correct it after
it was written. But on reading the article in his book, I discovered that
he had forgotten some of the facts. I am rewriting it here, praying that it
may prove a blessing.
For the glory of God I desire to relate some incidents connected with my
trips to Scandinavia in the years 1904-05. While I was engaged in
evangelistic work in North Dakota in the fall of 1904, the brethren in New
York City wrote me about making them a visit. After praying earnestly for
the Lord to make known his will in the matter, I decided to go, and felt
that if I went to New York I also ought to make a trip across the Atlantic
to Norway to see my parents and relatives whom I had not seen for
twenty-four years.
