Episcopal Church delivered sermon &
few months since at the De kalb Avenue
Church in New York; and on IL 1t occs.

his being cured of lame knee by prayer
/ and faith. He had been hurt by the

He had to go on crutcles for many Yeas.

Doctor TO have his crippled knee prayed

but "sver-ex-,t ton and lack OF faith
brought on the old trouble again. Fin

meeting sermon by Sister Amanda

who was a stranger TO him, SAID the
Lord had sent her TO him that he might

doubt Gods power, but bis willingness
is He not willing to destroy the
works OF the devil - Not always"
said Mr. Plat. and he quoted the case OF
tie blind man in the Gospel, concerning
whom the Pharisees inquired Of Jesus
who sinned the blind man or lis parents.
But Miss Moseman Leaf him with his
own case by quoting the Saviors reply.
