! DR. MHLEK.-Up among the barren hills
of Scott county, Virginia, lived an humble
christian man of the Methodist persuasion
named John Miller, eklng out aprccarlous cX.
istcncc by running small overshot water-mill.
! extraordinarily able to read his bible but
strong IN religious faith, pondcrng such texts
as Mark xvi. II, Is; Acts Iii. :, 9--he became
persuaded that he too could heal human in
tirmltles by the power OF faith. His first cs-
says were made on a few rhcumatics, and the
cures IN each case were instantaneous and per.
feet HIS fame spread over the neighborhood,
and soon the afflicted came in dozens, all 90
ing away in a few hours healed His method
Of work was simply to rub briskly the
top and back of the patients head and
then pass his hands downward over the
clothing as though brushing off the dust. That
was all Soon the little cluster Of log houses
about the mill where the miller milled could
no longer hold the hundreds that flockcd 10
him and he was induced Ia change his quar-
tiers to Glade Springs. llithcr the crowds fol.
lowed him, so that at last accounts the little
town was packed with the lame, the halt and
the blind, era, ing only to be touched by the
great healer. 1t is not pretended, of course,
that every one whom he touches is healed, but
the cures he effects are certainly numerous
and marvellous He asks no pay-refuses posi-
lively to accept any from poor people, and
never allows the wealthiest to pay HIM over
So each. He is about SO years old, stoop Shout
dered and awkwardly constructed, with blue
eyes set under heavy eyebrows, and brown
hair cut Off square over his eyes, his dress
that of the c0pperas clad mountaneer Of the
vicinage, his boots heavy, coarse, and never
blaCkened He claims to be only common
man, but declares that on account of his faith
God has given him the same power over dis
eases that in The beginning of the christian
era was delegated to the apostles. He has re
fused $4,000 to travel winter IN Florida,
saying his divine calling makes him servant
of the poor and afflicted and binds him to the
car OF poverty.

not hesitate TO accept it from bare first ballot

the case grows more dubious, Logan casts aside
