"I have been an invalid for over four years-afflicted with tuberculosis of the lungs since January, 1912.

" I want you to know, however, that my affliction has been the most wonderful blessing that was ever bestowed upon me, inasmuch as it has been the means used of God to lead me-poor, guilty, lost sinner that I was-to the Lord Jesus Christ, my Saviour, who loved me and gave Himself for me, that He might redeem me from all iniquity! ' Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name ' (Ps. 103:1)."
