Arise and shine for your light has come



Gemma Stone: Mindfulness is a powerful practice, Day after day..
Grace Bell: Appreciation is gaining in value, getting lifted up, lifted higher in worth. 
Can I do that for others, and for myself? Be Intimate With Those Who Think Badly Of You

Rev. John Salmon wrote of Holy Ann
“the memory of her prayer life has so often been a benediction to me; so intimate was she with God that when one heard her pray there came a feeling of nearness to the Author of our very being.”




In February 1889, Salmon and his associates met with Albert B. Simpson; this meeting resulted in the union of their ministries in Canada as the “Dominion Auxiliary of the Christian Alliance,” with William Howland, former mayor of Toronto, as its first president.
In October 1889 a dramatic healing took place in Toronto. Rose Kemp was visiting from Brighton, Ontario. She had been crippled with rheumatism for seven years and her father had brought her to Toronto to receive medical help. Her doctor had been attending Salmon's healing meetings and suggested that she receive prayer. He arranged for Salmon to come and talk to her. He gave her the basic concepts of divine healing, but she wasn't sure of her position and so asked to be left to pray about it. After Salmon left he called the Alliance members to pray for Miss Kemp. While she was reading her bible a scripture from Isaiah 60:1 came to her: "Arise and shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." She immediately was healed and got out of bed and walked. This event was covered extensively in the local newspapers. The meetings Salmon had been holding grew to the point that the Wolseley Hall could no longer hold the attendees.
