There lived a woman in England whose house stood at the foot of two ugly hillocks, which prevented the sun from reaching the window at which she always washed the dishes. She often wished that the hillocks might be taken away so that she might have the sunshine and see the valley beyond. One day, at worship, the pastor read from the Scriptures, "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, remove to another place, and it shall be removed; and nothing shall be impossible to you." The woman resolved to experiment. She would see if it would work. So that night, taking one last hateful look at the hillocks, she pulled down the shade, washed the dishes, and seated herself in the other part of the house. Then she began to mutter, "Hillocks, remove yourselves to another place," repeating it many times, and trying to imagine that in the morning they would be gone. In the morning, when she got up, she pulled up the shade. The hillocks were still there. "Just as I expected!" she exclaimed.
