and I met, I foond in hi. Innendent face and simple

and but few words tad been spoken before I was con-
vinced that the errand upon which I had come would be
fulailed. I wee about to give him, al was perfectly
natural, • detailed outline of my affliction, when he
storied me at once by saying that, "altar I Lad been
cured he would he very glad to listen to anything I
might desire to say, but that my cure was the first thing
to be attended to. He then poured several gallons of
hot water upon my head, while I wet leaning it over a
basin. After my head had been dried with cones
towels, I was made to sit upon • moveable seat, similar
to • music stool, the doctor dueling behind me and
plezts my head against his cheat, with his two hand.

" Your hat that it is the sign that you will be cured,
for the disturbance of the nerve current has been re.
moved." He then faced me, and taking any hands in
his, he lifted our four bands towards Heaven, wed,
looking me bard io the eyee, said, "Look at me. In I
the name of God, our H ly Father, and of the
Lord Jesus Chriat, the great Healer, I bid this disease
depart from this dear auffering brother, and never more
•Miet him. It is gone, it ia gone, it is gone for ever, my
brother ; you are cured ; rise up on your feet, nod be
cured." At that inataid I felt a strong current of new
life flowing lobo and through every part of my body, and
was come ous that I hail entered upon an altogether
new phase of exidence. From that day to the present
hour I have been entrely free from my old pain, and
have felt as well as it is posaible for any human being to
feel. Physically speaking, I am " • new creature, for
old things have passed away and all things have become
new." I can now go through more than double the
amount of my former work, and Lel no sensations of
weariness, while I can sleep almost at any moment that
I wish to do in, and through the entire night, whereas,
before Dr. Newton's heeling bends had been laid upon
Inc, sleep and I had been by no means near aermaints
eines ; indeed, oftentimes, woo it es I would, it would
still ksep far from me. Of course it would be absurd in
use to say, absolutely and without qualifioation, that my
cure rift be • permanent one, but, judging from my
experiences up to the present moused, I oe no reason
whatever why it anigeld not be so. But even if • relates
should take plue, Dr. Newton in now en rapport with
me, and is constantly operating upon me.
And now I wish to lidd the., wonderful as my use
1., it is, as bars, lir. Newt in is concernril, only one of
thousands. for he loss cunt almost every form of
disease, and removed almost every kind and degree of
suffering ;in feet, he appears to have d ev, rything
in the heeling and caring way but that of raising the
dead. And yet ev• n lie does not cure all care, with
which lie conies into contact, while his failures enable
Ingo to keep dive the egommourness that ii,. not he
who cures, but Go I, who weeks in him and II rough him
"of Ha own good pleasure." He tell, me that he has

again there are trains freighted from Iloston,Providence,
and the neighbourhood, with the lame.the halt, and the
diseased, sometimes to the number of 500 or GOO

replies I obtained were eminently favourable to him,
while even those who still had lingering doubts about
some of his cures, never for one moment attempted to

IRN AVERAGES.

And now there Is one question which certain persona
VIII no doubt put to inn. "If what you say of Dr.
Newton be true, how is it that the suffering world, of
America at least does not go out to him, as ter as it
has the opportueity of doing it?" My reply is &simple,
and, I would venture to arid, • satisfactory one. Dr.
Newton does not cure every case which is brought to
hint nor does be so mush as attempt to do it. Now all
these eases of failure are just so many stumbling blocks

fore, for such is the popular inference, he cannot cure
as be is raid to do. The logic of such an argument is '
very pitiful indeed. Can we not recollect that when
our Lord wee On Garth Re ...Id noi Jo nanny of Ilia

Being as He was could be doubted, and by that doubt
restricted, is it very wonderful that even Dr. Newton's
power may be called In question, and thus be limited.
"The disciple is not above his Master. It is enough for
the diesiple that he be aa his Master."
Dr. Newton asked Inc if I had faith in hie Power to
etre me, and my reply WSJ that I bad come 3,000 miles ,
to see him, and could give him no better anew, r to his
question. No doubt faith in the patient has very much
to do with the patient's cure. and why should we who
"prof... and call ourselves Christians," and who have
the four Go•lels before us, be surprised stanch • condi•
tion, or curl the lip at those who demand it? Have we
not read that west beautlid and touching narrative in
the 9th chapter of Pt Mask'. Gospel, which treats of
U,. mire of the poor boy who had been suffering from
epilepsy. and whose dia.se, had at last r•sulted in
dumbness and deafnem? WI en the father of the child
appealed to our Lord, tie •sid out., hint "If thou can't
belpons— all things are I osa,Ve to him that believeth."
As though our Lord bad said, "Toe question is not
about my ability to cure your child. hut about your
faith in that ability. I can cure him it you can helm,.
that I can do it." I grant most freely that Christ some.
times cured without the faith of the patient, but this
only prows not that fsith is unnecessary, but that it is
power of
not an absolute condition. The place and
faith have been so misapprehended, and, therefore, mi..
represented by theologiano, that few people realiss how
Minnie and yet how powerful a thing it is. The history

those commenced by Luther,George Fos,Weeley. awl
others, attest hermit dispute the truth of what Christ
said to the two blind men, "According to your faith be
it mit, you." I Mdse., fully believing that Dr. Newton
would cure me, and I do not know that there is anything
unreasonable in the supposition thirst my confidence hut
moiething to do with my cure.
This is a true, full, and particular account of the
wonderful blessing which has come to me throualt the
agency of Dr Newton. I have now only one other
sta'ement to make. It is this. While I was in
America. I became conscious,through the doctor's
agency, that I myself poe.ocssed. in a limited degree,
these very powers of healing by the laying on of hands.
While there I tested my Pomession of those powers, by
operating upon persons 'Misted with severe pains in the
head, and in ever, case succeeded in curing them. Since
my return home I have cored many other nervous. and
