    RECOMMENDATION. My young afflicted friend, Benjamin Lawson, having requested my opinion respecting the propriety of publishing the following pages, I perused them, with very great pleasure ; and being fully satisfed of the truth of all the statements, and personally ac- quainted with most of the facts ivhich are therein nar- rated, I have advised him to make the account public. 7 'he restoration of this youth from the most afflicted condition of body which I have ever witnessed ; the remarkable providence which appears to be over him, in enabling him to provide for his own wants, chief y by the sale of his former Tract ; and especially from his being employed in disseminating the truths of the Gospel in such an artless way, by the relation of his own experience of the divine mercy; are so very wonderful, that I feel much as the multitude felt, when our Lord had restored one who was Deaf and Dumb :—“ And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well—He maketh both the Deaf to hear and the Dumb to speak. Mark vii. 37. 20, Harpur Street, JOSEPH IVIMEY.
