  	    I was called to visit Mr. Clark in Lynn, who had been
 1	confined to his bed six months with hip-disease, caused by
  	a fall upon a wooden spike when quite a boy. On enter-
 3	ing the house I met his physician, who said that	                        Mind cures
  	the patient was dying. The physician had just	                        hip-disease 
  	probed the ulcer on the hip, and said the bone was carious
 6	for several inches. He even showed me the probe, which
  	had on it the evidence of this condition of the bone. The
  	doctor went out. Mr. Clark lay with his eyes fixed and
 9	sightless. The dew of death was on his brow. I went to
  	his bedside. In a few moments his face changed; its
  	death-pallor gave place to a natural hue. The eyelids
12	closed gently and the breathing became natural; he was
  	asleep. In about ten minutes he opened his eyes and
  	said: "I feel like a new man. My suffering is all gone." 
15	It was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon
  	when this took place. 
  	    I told him to rise, dress himself, and take supper with
18	his family. He did so. The next day I saw him in the
  	yard. Since then I have not seen him, but am informed
  	that he went to work in two weeks. The discharge from
21	the sore stopped, and the sore was healed. The diseased
  	condition had continued there ever since the injury was
  	received in boyhood. 
24	    Since his recovery I have been informed that his physi-
  	cian claims to have cured him, and th...at his mother has
  	been threatened with incarceration in an insane asylum
27	for saying: "It was none other than God and that woman
  	who healed him." I cannot attest the truth of that
  	report, but what I saw and did for that man, and what
30	his physician said of the case, occurred just as I have
  	narrated. 
  	    It has been demonstrated to me that Life is God
 1	and that the might of omnipotent Spirit shares not its
  	strength with matter or with human will. Review-
 3	ing this brief experience, I cannot fail to discern the
  	coincidence of the spiritual idea of man with the divine
  	Mind.
