The Wonderful Healing Power of a Plain
Michigan Woman.
From the Chicago Inter-Oeean.
a most remarkable lady exists in
TINS city In the person of Mrs. Samuel
Morden, the wife of a laborer in one
Oh our shops. She is possessed of a
very strong personal magnetic power,
or some similar unexplained phenom-
enon, by Which she has accomplished
some wonderful things. An instance |
OF TINS has Just come to public notice. |
Her last operation was upon a boot |
and shoe man by the name of Maurice |
IL. y eale, who for many wears past
has been afflicted with protuberance
on one of his wrists of the nature of
wea, or weeping Sinew. The bunch
was hard and about an inch high, be-
Ing OF the size Of large walnut. For
! years he had tried eve.y known RENE
| dy, but without the least benefit; in
deed, the bunch seemed to gro " larger
and harder. Recently he heard of the
wonderful healing power possessed by
Mrs; orden, and she being in Mr..
Neale's store one day he asked her to
Try her power upon it. She consented,
and laying her hand upon the wen,
prayed earnestly and fervently. This
was all, and Mr. Neale was somewhat
skepticI of the result; but judge of
his surprise when, in few days, the
Wen WAS found TO be not over half its
former Size, and gradually disappear
Ing. Shortly after this she again ap-
ptared in the store, and Mr.. Neale
asked her to repeat the operation, as
: he was satisfied that the first one had
= done considerable good. She did so
: and soon thereafter the bunch gradu
ally disappeared, and his hand Is al
= smooth. strong and well rs ever. Mr.
5 \ eaia regards il as a wonderful ano
: miraculous cure, and cannot under
i stand it
= Mrs. WoTden is a plain, unpreten
e tlous lady, and does not understand
: the power she possesses herself. Sh'
: only knows that from childhood sh,
= has possessed this power of healing
5 the sick by laying on one of her hand
4 and praying. What it is, she does no
:. know, nor does she make business o
l. curing people, only having exercise,
e the power for her friends. 1t is Gel
Z tainly most wonderful power, anC
t. as she has cured several chronic case
l. which mediums have failed to reach
20 there is something very strange an
n remarkable about it that will bear IL
r vestigation. A correspondent of tn
Inter-Ocean interviewed Mrs. Worde
at her home. She was very modest
regard to her power, and she said sh
70 did not desire any publicity in regar
% to the matter. She said she possesse
IL it since she was fourteen years of ag
20 Her mode of cure Is to lay the han
ho upon the diseased spot and pray: 90
10 Lord, if it be thy will, please help an
~ cure this person of his infrmities," {
- some similar prayer. She is an A
Ii ventIst in belief, and possessed of gre
faith, believing that the Lord can a
complish anything. When the Lol
does effect cure through her, she sa.
~ she can feel the pain from the disease
, person enter her own system and T
7 main short time, and then disappea
hoo She does not believe in spiritualisl
-, ao or anything similar to it. She fir
nd found her power by praying to ha'
au herself cured when she was sick whit
'' she was a child, and has since pra
of ticed or used her power to invol
' av prayer cures upon her friends, and s.
oS effected many wonderful cures Whe
10 all medical remedies had failed, all
N0 which she attributes to the Lord, al
: for none of which would she acce
n0 any money. She is, undoubtedly, o
no of the most wonderful persons y
come to light.
