Mrs. B.-Ohi you have reference TO my
deafness, T suppose We generally

Ms. B.-My dear brother, many and

rle sec. There was Mrs. Corbin, who
lives on the corner OF Nineteenth and
Market street, who was SO proetrated
with heart disease she dSced not get up
and move from her bed TO u chair, for
fear she would drop dead. Her doctors
(some Of the best in Louisvilie) told her
they could do nothing more for her, and
advised her to write 10 Mr.. Corbin 20
come home Immediately if he wanted to
see her alive. She sent for me and asked
me to anoiut her and pray with her,
which did. She was almost instantly
restored, and is living and we'll to- day.
This occurred several months ago.
One Of the plainest cases OF divine
healing l ever witnessed WIS one that
happened while Mr. Barnes and l were
located at Pink Cottage. Mrs. Terhunc,
Of Glasgow, as brought to us with dis

useless. The physicians told her she
would never walk again without crutches.
Being very energetic, she refused to be

walk, bur always failed. She was a devout
Christian, and had the faith IN The faith
cure. She was brought to US, aud brother
Barnes had her placed in the centre Of
the room before large congregation and
questioned her in regard TO her faith.

in several months. For two or three
weeks she limped on account of her faith
not being strong enough. Her belief
gradually increased, aud the lameness en-

An elderly lady, whose name has slip
ped my memory, came here in February !,
whoxsSss afflicted with neuralgia, with
which she claimed to have suffered al.
most necessarily for fifteen years. Her
face aud neck were horribly drawn and
distorted making one sick almost 10 look

we arose she was completely ,ealed, her
face having returned 20 IT'S natnral posi-

weeks ago, and said she had not suffered
since. -.
MRS. Elliston, Of Cincinnati, is also a
striking example OF the efhcacy of pray
