Cured by Faith-Perhaps.

A singular belief in the exercise Of
spiritual faith and power to cure physical
ailments has come to notice in Saratoga
county, N. Y. The episode, happened IN
West Galway, a small hamlet OF 800 popu-
latlon in the extreme western part of Sara
toga county. The inhabitants are princi-
tpally farming people exceedingly igno-
rant and far removed from anv city. The
region is mountainous and sterile. -Four
years ago, Adele Shattuck, young LADY
s18 years old, became paralyzcd from the
effects of nervous attack caused by hear
ing of the sudden and accidental death Of a
brother to whom she was greatly attached.
She went into convulsions; was in coma.
tose condition for several days, and when
her mind recovered its normal condition
she could neither talk nor use her limbs
from the effects of Iaraletic stroke.
During four years this condition was un-
changed, her body gradually wasting un-
til the skin was drawn tightly over the
bones and the flesh seemed a milky or
cream color. Miss Shattuck was men,
her of the Methndistchurch., She has,
since her prostrat!on, persisted in believ-
ing that she would be restored to health,
and expressed her faith in the efficacy of
prayer to accomplish that purpose. Three
weeks ago, after being totally helpless
during the four years. as stated, and re-
garded as tincurable, the young lady
walked down stairs and informed her
wonder-strlcken, parents that she had
been cured in answer p. to prayer. Since
then her limbs have gradually become
strong and plant. Last week, at her re-
quest, the clergy and the members of the
three churches in West Galway met at
shattuck's and held a meeting for the es.
pecial purpose of prayer for spiritual
power to enact further cure in this young
persons case, and enable her to have re-
stored the power of speech. Miss Shat
tuck soon began singing and talking.
The case is vouchcd for, as above, by the
village folks, one of whom related it to
the writer. The physicians believed her
to have been rendered helpless for life
and a bedriddcn paralytic. s
