remarks, but there truly was greater than normal enthusiasm
exhibited by most in the Church following the Feast. The youth
especially came back encouraged as they were able to draw
strength from others their age who are going through the very
same trials they are.
BELLE VERNON, PA--DAVID M. JOHNSON: We have never heard so many
positive comments about the Feast. Everyone is commenting on
what a great Feast it was spiritually. The phrase "This was the
best Feast ever!" is certainly not an empty platitude.

God Our Healer
This week we are featuring accounts of God's miraculous healings. Follow­
ing are some of the more outstanding letter comments we've received in the
past few weeks.
Our son was healed of curvature of the spine, having had one leg
shorter than the other. The doctor gave us six months to decide
on an operation--in which he would cut the bone in the short leg
and add a piece. We knew God would heal so, on the following
Sabbath, we had our son anointed. We also had him do exercises.
When our boy went back for a check up, the doctor was amazed. He
said, "I'm not even going to bother with x-rays, because he's
perfect! I don't understand it." We knew God had healed him!
