By Anne Narejko

which she saw grow up only through pic-
tures.
Mrs. Sandusky entered a sanitorium in
Gravenhurst on Friday, September 13, 1929
when she was 17 -years -old. Here she stayed

During this time, Mrs. Sandusky suffered
pain and heartache, but she looked upon it
as a lesson.
The Hand of The Lord Hath Done This is
an appropriate title. Mrs. Sandusky main-
tained that it was God's wish that events
turn around or unexpected incidents happen
because God had plans for her.
After seeking out a religion she felt com-
fortable with, Mrs. Sandusky decided on the
Pentecostal belief. While at a meeting in
1940, the meeting tent was burned down by
disbelievers. However, Mrs. Sandusky was
not discouraged and continued her work
with the Pentecostal movement.
When Mrs. Sandusky was 36 -years -old,
she married Reverend Russell Oliver
Anderson. Rev. Anderson was in a car acci-
dent that took a piece of bone out of his
eyebrow and left his body paralyzed. After a
few weeks Rev. Anderson simply lifted his
body out of a wheelchair and walked the
length of the hospital corridor without any
assistance.
The book is filled with incidents similar to
this, and Mrs. Sandusky says she has
witnesses to back her up.
She is now in her seventies and has com-
pletely turned her life over to God, trusting
Him to steer her in the right direction.
The Hand of The Lord Hath Done This was
published by Crown Publications of Burl-
ington, Ontario, in 1983 and contains 142
pages.
