MANA CHAPTER OF PROsEsTANT
MIRACLES
From the Middletown Argus.
Mrs c. S. Wilcox lives on 10 Gee Hill,
an historical efninence lying within a short
distance Of Slate Hill, in the neighboring
town OF Wawayanda Repeated efforts
have before been unsuccessfuly made to
induce the immediate relatives Of the lady
to furnish for publication an account of
her strange and numerous physical afiiic-
tions miraculous visions, and prophecies.
The account, as obtained by US from the
! lips of Mr.. Wilcox, the husband, we now
lay before our readers.
In 1868 they were living in the town of
Minisink, Suddenly his wife was attacked
with violent cramps. The attacks increased
in violence, until at last her body would
become as rigid as stone, in which state
she would lie for hours apparently uncon-
scious of all that was going on about her.
All remedies were unavaiing. One day
the patient, upon returning to CONSCIOUS
ness, told her friends that she and heard a
voice which said she would get better the
next morning. Immediately after she ex-
perienced another violent attack, again
became insensible, and remained so for
number of hours Recovering conscious
ness, she said that a heavenly winged
vision appeared to her saying. Bear with
it, you will be afflicted but three times
more" After three more attacks, she be-
came perfectly healthy and remained so
for years.
Ia 1865 the family moved to 10 Gee
Hill. In their new home Mrs. Wilcox
continued to enjoy good health until 1870,
when suddenly she suffered partial par
alysis Of the tongue, and almost entirely
lost the power Of speech. Then one side
of her body was paralyzed, and this was
followed by loss Of sight and hearing. In
this helpless and pitiful condition she lay
for eight weeks. Her left hand still re
tained some little power of motion, and
with it she would fill slate with writing,
every word clear and distinctly by itself,
and this though she had written but one
or two letters during her married life, and
knew nothing of writing with her left
hand While Watching beside her one
evening, her friends saw her, as they sup
posed pass into peaceful slumbcr. She
slept through the next day. The family
became much alarmed, but about o'clock
in the evening she opened her still sight
less eyes. Immediately she motioned for
her slate, and she wrote upon it that she
had been raised to heaven in a golden
chariot, lit upon It's way through space by
bright star All about her in heaven
were stars iunumerable, so bright that the
way was golden with their light. Round
about through the beautiful streets she
rode until at last she came before the King
upon his throne, who, as she confronted
him stopped her and said. 'Woman your
faith has been tried in every way, and it
has lived through ALL BY it you will
again be well in all your body except your
hand" Thereupon she was brought back
to earth and laid upon her bed, upon touch
inc which she awoke.
A few hours before the time she had
fortold that she would have her lost senses
restored to her, she passed into a gentle
sleep. This was about clock in the af-
teruoon. In the evening at O'clock, she
awoke, and Immediately sat up in her bed,
her sight, hearing, and speech fully restored
to her. She rose from bed, and walked from
the room. Her hand still continued power
less. For some time after this she continued
to enjoy good health. Suddenly she again
lost her sight and with it the use of two
of her limbs In this condition she CON
tinucd for six weeks, when again while in
trance she was promised restoration to
health, this time within month. She said
the word came to her IN the sound of a
whistle, and that she believed her friends
would hear the whistle sound which was to
summon her to be well again Shortly be-
fore the appointed time she passed into
slumber, and her friends gathered watching
about her. AS they were waiting, they
declare they distinctly heard whistle.
The patient rose from her bed and walked
through the house. She asserted that as
the whistle sounded voice said to her,
Arise.
On the 21st Of last January Mrs Wilcox
had stroke Of paralysis, by which one side
: was entirely disabled. Upon the following
!, Wednesday morning, she said "See that
light, that glorious hight. Hear that voice,
that sweet voice, which is saying to me,
No greather faith was in old Israel than
) yours. Il viii make you well on Sabbath
} day to proclaim my power on earth before
man"
, \ number of the nighbors were present
, on the following Sunday. About twelve
O'Clock Mrs Wilcox was asleep. Shortly
before one o'clock she awoke, saying she
heard voice which said "Arise Arise
that my power may be made manifest. y
She arose from the bed well, and has con
tnued well to this time. Mrs Wilcox is
about fifty years of age, and in all respects
good woman, and most devoted Chris
tian She fully believes she has entered
the portals Of the heavenly Kingdom, aud
that she has seen the Master in his glory.
