9. According to the Parents' Minds

Toward the middle of July 1863, when Yoshimatsu, the eldest son of Chusaku Tsuji, was four years old, his face became pale and he was in danger of death. Oryu, Chusaku's mother, came to pray, carrying her sick grandchild on her back. Oyasama saw them and said:

"His parents should bring him instead."

So Masu, Chusaku's wife, carrying the boy on her back, came to pray.

"I will save the child according to the parents' minds"

was the teaching of Oyasama. The boy was completely restored to health in four or five days.

九 ふた親の心次第に

文久三年七月の中頃、辻忠作の長男由松は、当年四才であったが、顔が青くなり、もう難しいという程になったので、忠作の母おりうが背負うて参拝したところ、教祖は

「親と代わりて来い。」

と、仰せられた。それで、妻ますが、背負うて参拝したところ、

「ふた親の心次第に救けてやろう。」

と、お諭し頂き、四、五日程で、すっきりお救け頂いた。
