A remarkable case of healing through
faith and in answer to prayer has just oc-
CURED here. October 11th. 1881, while Mrs.
Hannah E. Casey and Mrs. Mercy E. Moody
were driving in the city, they were met
by the Insane Hospital team, which was with
out driver and running away. A collision
ensued between the two teams. and the ladies
were both thrown from their carriage. re-
ceiving severe injuries. Mrs Moody has
since died. and Mrs. Casey, the subject of
this sketch. never recovered. One hin
was severely injured and the cords of
the limb were drawn out of shape so that for
two years and seven months she was un-
able to even step without crutch She de-
SPARED of ever fully recovering. During
this time she employed thirteen different
physicians and none of them had helped
her. Recently she has been attending
the revival meetings in Neonian Hall Final
ly she became a christian and testified at the
meetings. One night. the middle of the week.
she beseeched Mr. and Mrs Pierson to pray
for her that she might be healed Mrs Casey
was asked if she had faith. The answer was in
the affirmative. Mr.. and Mrs Pierson
offered fervent prayers for her recovery.
The next day she came to meeting again still
using her crutch, and Mr. Pierson advised her
to make kindling wood of it. The next time
she appeared at the services the crutch was
not to be seen, but in its place was a cane

thoroughly healed. Last Sabbath she attend

and at Meonian Hall in the evening.
walking from and to her residence
on Elm street each time. Since then
her walking powers have continued and her
recovery is to all appearances permanent
There have also been other wonderful cases
of healing in answer to prayer offered by Mr.
and Mrs. Pierson. They base the belief that
prayer will be answered largely on the prom
iser found in James 5, l4-l5: sis any sick
among you? let him call for the elders of the
church; and let them pray over him annoint-
ing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick
and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he
has committed sins they shall be forgiven
him"

The New senator from Ohio.

The Hon. Henry B. Payne, who
will succeed the Hon. George II. Pen
dlcton as United States Senator from
Ohio after the 4th of March next, is
a gentleman Of acknowledged ability
and high character. He was born in
Hamilton county, N. T., November
10, 1910, and is therefore in the 74th
year of his age, but he is well pre-
served physically and mentally, and
is still an active, busy man. He com
menced the practice of law in Cleve-
land, Ohio, in 1884, in which he was
eminently successful. He has been
largely interested in railroad and
manufacturing enterprises: was
member of the Ohio Senate in 1849
so; was chostn q democratic presiden-
tial elector in 1913; was the demo
cratic candidate for Governor against
Salmon p. Chase in 1867; was a del
egate to the democratic national con
ventien at Cincinnati in 1856, to the
convention at Charleston in 1860, and
to the convention at Baltimore in
1872; was elected as democrat to
represent the twentieth Ohio con-
gressional district in the Forty fourth
Congress, 1857, where he served
with conspicuous ability both as COM
mitteeman and on the floor. He was
selected as one Of the five members of
the famous electoral commission by
the House of Representatives, and was
the author of the bill to provide for
and regulate the counting of the votes
for President and Vice President, and
the decisions of questions arising
thereon for the term commencing
March A, 1878, and q bill to provide
for the resumption ofspecie payment.
On the question of the tariff Mr..
Payne said in speech one year ago:
"a judicious tariff is not one for pro-
lection only, nor for revenue only, nor
again for revenue with the Swallowed
outlines of an incidentaftail append
ed to it, but it is tariff Of beth rev.
enue and protection, one and insep-
arably adjusted and perfected as to
do justice to the great interests Of the
country and injustice to none"
