O THOU OF LITTLE FAITH, WHEREFORE DIDST THOU DOUBT?—Matt. 14:31. 
GOLDEN TRUTHS 
came back on the side of life. The 
sickness was rebuked and I was 
healed. From this time on there 
was a slow, continuous recovery. 
It seemed as if with one accord 
God's people were praying for me. 
Whole church groups, even people 
we had never known, united their 
prayers in my behalf. It seems a 
real miracle as | think of it now. 
We lay so helpless. We were too 
weak to pray. When one is so 
sick, the ability to pray or aid one’s 
self is gone. There comes a state 
of complete helplessness. 
There are two kinds of healing 
touch when God heals the body. 
I had been healed several times be- 
fore, but it always came as a mir- 
acle. By this we have reference 
to an instant work, or a touch from 
God when one is made instantly 
well. This time it had come stead- 
ily and surely during the course of 
several weeks. Here is where many 
lose faith. During the time when 
health is slowly coming back, one 
should give God the same courtesy 
they would give to the doctor. We 
do not expect him to cure in one 
day, but we wait and give nature 
time to complete the work. Also 
the knowledge medical science has, 
was put here for our use. 
During our sickness the only 
medical aid we had was penicillin 
while the lung infection and pneu- 
monia was taking its course. As 
we think of this we feel we must 
be living here on borrowed time, 
spared to carry out His work that 
He has given us to finish. People 
often ask: Why do these things 
happen? Sometimes it is our own 
fault, sometimes not, but one can- 
not pass through an experience 
like this without having a much 
deeper understanding of the things 
of God. Since this has happened, 
we feel we owe all we have, both 
spiritually and temporally, to 
Christ. We feel very humble when 
we think how people were im- 
pressed to pray that we might be 
spared. It seems if we had not 
been spared, it would not be pos- 
sible that ““GOLDEN TRUTHS” 
could be taken from its young 
state, through to an_ established 
publication, heralding its message 
to a hungry people who are thirst- 
ing for the words of life which it. 
bears. 
(When Mrs. Yoars was able to 
be up and write a little, she penned 
the following lines of appreciation 
and sent them to the church. ) 
““We wish in some measure to 
let the entire church know what 
your labors and prayers for our 
life mean to us, and how much 
they are appreciated; and that we 
are going to be able to come back 
from the very shadow of death to 
carry out His work for a time as 
He has need of us. 
“We feel humble and thankful 
for such a God and for His power, 
through His people, to succor one 
another in the time of need, when 
one has gone even beyond the 
place where they can in any way 
help themselves. We are more 
aware of the power of God's peo- 
ole, through prayer, than ever be- 
fore. Whv should God’s people be 
cast down or discouraged when 
they have all rower with them? 
For it is only when we do not un- 
derstand, that we are unable to av- 
propriate His nower for our needs 
and for the needs of others. Ruth 
F. Yoars.”’ 
Since the above article was writ-

This recoverv came slow. but 
steadv. all effects of this illness 
have been healed and at this time 
we are in the best of health. We 
give God all the glory for we were 
beyond any human help. It is 
more apparent at this time than 
ever before that we were spared 
is 
here to help spread the Wor 
God to honest, hungry hearts for 
atime. Our time is not our own 
but His to Whom we owe all. We 
have word of a youth who became 
poisoned as we were, he was taken 
to one of the best hospitals anal 
was given all the aid human hands 
and medical science could do,
