Which She Can't Explain.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July 5.--A most
remarkable lady exists in this city in the per-
son of Mrs. Samuel Worden, the wife of a
laborer in one of our shops She is possessed
of a very strong magnetic power, or some
similar unexplained phenomenon, by which
she has accomplished most wonderful things.
Her last operation was upon o boot and shoe
man by the name of Maurice FL. Neale, who
for many years past has been afflicted with
protuberance on one of his wrists of the ma
ture Of wen, or weeping sinew The bunch
was hard and about an inch high, being of
the size of large walnut. For years he has
tried every known remedy, but without the
least benefit; indeed, the bunch SCENE to
grow larger and harder. Recently he heard
of the wonderful power possessed by Mrs.
Worden, and she being in Mr.. Neale's store
one day, be 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
skeptical of the result; but judge of his sur
prise when in few days the wen was found
to be not over half it's former size, and gradus
ally disappearing. Shortly after this She
again appeared in the store, and Mr.. Neale
asked her to repeat the operation, as he was
satisfied that the first one had done consider
able good. She did so, and soon thereafter
the bunch gradually disappeared, and his
hand is as smooth, strong, and well as ever,
Mr.. Neale regards it as wonderful and
miraculous cure, and cannot understand it.
Mrs. Worden is a plain, unpretehtiousIla lar
dy, and does not understand the lpbWer,she
bn l., lyr f,of
childhood she has possessed this power of
healing the sick by laying on one of her
hands and praying. What it is she does not
know, nor does she make business of cure
ing people, only having exercised the power
for the relief of her friends. correspon-
dent for the Leter-Ocean interviewed Mrs.
Worden at her home. She was very modest
in regard to her power, and she said she did
not desire any publicity in regard to the mat
ter. She said that she has possessed it since
she was IA years of age. Her mode of cure
is to lay the hand upon the diseased spot and
pray, ''Oh, Lord, if it be Thy will, please
help and cure this person of his infrmities,"
or some similar prayer. She is an Adventist
in belief, and possessed of great faith, be-
lieving that the Lord can accomplish any
thing. When the Lord does effect cure
through her, she says she can feel the pains
from the diseased person enter her own sys-
TEN and remain short time, and then dis
appear. She does not believe in spiritualism,
or anything similar to it. She first found her
power by praying to have herself cured when
she was sick when she was a child, and has
since practised or used her power to invoke
prayer cures upon her friends, and she eff
fected many wonderful cures where all medi-
cal remedies failed, all of which would she
attributes to the Lod, and for none of which
would she accept any money. She is I'M
doubtedly one of the most wonderful persons
yet come to light.
