Coal Miner Healed 6/11 Wednesday Wisdom

In a place in England I was dealing on the lines of faith and what would take place if we believed God.  Many things happened.  But when I got away it appeared one man who worked in the colliery [coal mine] had heard me.  He was in trouble with a stiff knee.  He said to his wife, "I cannot help but think every day that that message of Wigglesworth's was to stir us to do something.  I cannot get away from it.  All the men in the pit know how I walk with a stiff knee... Well, I am going to act.  You have to be the congregation."  He got his wife in front of him.  "I am going to act and do just as Wigglesworth did."  He got hold of his leg unmercifully, saying, "Come out, you devils, come out!  In the name of Jesus.  Now, Jesus, help me.  Come out, you devils, come out."  Then he said, "Wife, they are gone!  Wife, they are gone.  This is too good.  I am going to act now."  So he went to his place of worship and all the collier boys were there.  It was a prayer meeting.  As he told them this story these men became delighted.  They said, "Jack, come over here and help me."  And Jack went.  As soon as he was through in one home he was invited to another, loosing these people of the pains they had gotten in the colliery.
