"Have the doctors given her up entirely?"
"Yes," returned Venna, striving to keep back her tears.
"Then may we administer to the child?"
"For what?" asked Venna puzzled.
"For recovery," returned the young missionary. "You have sought man's aid. Will you refuse God's?"
"But Anna tried faith?" returned Venna.
"Sometimes faith is so strong that it works even in error. But it is not God's way. God's commands are sure. If you do not believe we have His divine authority to heal, will you let us have permission to try?"
Venna looked into Brother Hallock's earnest gray eyes and felt the power of his convictions.
"Yes," she answered simply.
The doctors gone, Venna sat by Anna's bed, soothing the tired head in its restless forced sleep, the result of Dr. Jensen's quieting medicine.
