Fourth volume: of the last nine years of labour and work for the Master. Including many remarkable visions, number of sermons, also a description of the Home we are building for Christian Work. Located about one hundred miles east of St. Louis, Post office is Cisna, Wayne County, III.

The Lord raised me up from a death-bed. Everyone thought I would die. But the Lord raised me up and anointed me with the power of the Holy Ghost, and sent me out as an evangelist and minister to preach the Gospel, on apostolic lines with apostolic power. I did not know then that I would ever teach or preach divine healing. Had wonderful success in the Salvation of Souls, they came flocking to Christ by hundreds every place I went.

The Lord showed me I had the gift of healing, and that I should preach and teach divine healing, and lay hands on the sick in His name. That He would cast out devils, and heal all manner of diseases, and multitudes would be saved in that way, and be made to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, by seeing His power, and love in healing your afflicted bodies. I obeyed the word of the Lord, and He stood by me, and kept His promise by confirming His word with mighty miracles, signs, and wonders.

Thousands have been made whole of every disease known at this age of the world, including one case of leprosy. Most of the cases that were healed were considered chronic by physicians. Many were brought on beds in a dying condition, given up by the best physicians; and many of them are living to-day, well and happy. Hundreds were saved and healed at the same time, otherwise they would have died in their sins, and thousands of unbelievers of all classes were brought to Christ by seeing the mighty works of God. It is now about twenty-five years ago since I was anointed to God and sent out to preach. During this time I have travelled many thousands of miles, have gone from the Atlantic to the Pacific, crossed the continent eight times, have been in many states, and preached thousands of sermons, and held hundreds of meetings. Have had my life and experience published up to 1904.

This volume is the last and up to date August, 1904. Third volume can be had by addressing us at our home, viz., Mrs. M. B. Woodworth-Etter, Cisna, Wayne County, Illinois.
