How Bertha Von Hillern Tested Prayer.

She is as devout as she is energetic. During the two years 1 she walked she says she lost but two contests of endurance, and these were when she neglected before leaving her room for the trial to ask aid of a higher power than her own. On one of these occasions she made the omission purposely, to see whethet it would affect her strength, and this may be quoted as a singular test of the efficacy of prayer.— Philadelphia Press.
