Three uoa and one woman responded. |
The fl SC was Colonel Clarke, who said
that .lthouyh liza looked all right, he
was suffering from lood.poisoning,

With tho poor to whom he
preached the gospel. AS yet IL had
not reached any vital part, but when
ever he went out iuso tho cold air his
hands swelted up and showed signs of
erysipelss. Flo did not fesl like leav-
ing hIs brethren yet, and was satisfied
that by faith and laying on of bands,
restored. The second applicant for
healing was the young woman who
hsd been healed OF sick. head ache and

performed over the other three csndi
dates for healing. and tho meeting
came to close. IL was certain that
ths crippled man was not Strengthened
OUT, nor had he goi any power TO walk
wiCGout hte crutches. AS the sister
who had been arOintad was not at the
time apparently suffering from ague,
| the absence OF any future attack will
be the only true proof of cure. The
reporter did not follow Colonel Clarke
iniO the opsn air to sae what eject the
cold had on his hands, but directed his
attention to the cripple, who volun-
teered the following rather remarkable
account of himself;
TINE MORPHINE HABIT.
His name was Albert Il, Buck. md
he lived at No. 2342 La Sale street, In
1860 he was smssned up In railway
| accident, and hls present condition
was largely due to medical malprac
tiee. Hts spine was curved, his hin
ints were entirely ossified, his knee
jp!nt was perfectly stiff, and both leps
were twisted, and tho feet inverted.
Worse than all these physical infirni-
ties, about IL years ago no contracted
the habit OF morphine eating. -Four
years ago by Code power he was de-
liversd from that ensleving vice, and
his case was made good deal or ut
Farwell hall. All won't wsll until an
evil moment doctor unknown TO him
gave him morphine In hts medicine ~
relieve pain, The craving revived and
he was soon az confirmed morphiue
eater rs ever. About three weeks ago
when he had got 10 tho stage that h.
could consume over $50 grains of Nor
phino a week, besides imb bling q large
quantity Of stimulsnts, he prayed 70
God for deliverance; and AZ the result
OF his own faith and tho prayers OF
others no was enabled to quit both
morphine ana alcohol ut inoinent'e
notice, and now tels better in health
than no had done for many years. He
had now bsen snoipted with oil for
the healing of lila bodily ailments, and
had the utmost faith that no would DO
restored to perfect health and ssrengt h
and the complete uso OF his limbs.
"What certsi0ty have your asked
tao reporter In parting, "that YOU NAV
not again relapse into tho morphine
