reads more like the vagaries Of a unatic

Barnes has always been regarded" This
criticism, We must confess, might express
our own opinion in regard to the letter,

cases in our midst which have been cured,
apparently, by No other means than by
pra, aud faith, aud FOR the sake Of those
who, like the Couior-JaHrual are Of the
belief that the days of miracles are past,
We will give few that are the subject Of
nearly every day remark here: About
the ist Of September last, Mrs. II. +. Har-
ris, wife Of Lawyer II. T. Harris, Of this
place, . devout Christian woman, called
on Mrs 5. l.. Midkih, who was bed-ridden
with that fearful disease proiapss utcri
Physicians had doclered her in vain, and
she dispaircd Of ever recovering. Mrs. lIar-

pray to Him constantly aud fervently,

Throne Of Grace. After a day or two OF

The next case was that Of Miss Mary Nc
Afee, young lady who had lain for seven
years in he'd with spinal disease. A num-
Der II doctors had attended her aud all
sorts Of remedies rssorled TO, but with M
apparent benefit. Mrs. Harris visited her
and enireaied her To throw herself on the
mercy aud goodness II God. She did 50,
and their joint supplications were reward
ed in a most surprising manner; for in a
short time the young lady arose from her
couch apparently entirely restored To
health, surprising her friends the next day
by walking TO town distance Of mile.
Then there was little Eta Dobbins, the
seyen-yedr-old daughter Of railroad en-
ployee, formerly Of Louisville, who, on
hearing Of this ease, asked her mother 10

believed that the Lord would cure her too,
