MEYERS STRANGE INFLUENCE.
Claiming to Heal the sOul from Sin
and tho Body from sickness.
From, the Chicago Neaos.

From the Chicago Ne91s.
Considerable interests being awakened
in relation to the meetings which are be-
ing conducted at the old cOlored church on
Fourth avenue. and at other places, by
Mr., Meyers and five or six assistants.
These men do not claim to be
ministers of Coz, bat simply minis
tering servants. They even exhibit some
bitterness toward ministers as a class,
and denOunce some of them as devils.
Their meetings are attracting attention
chiefly because OF the numerous cases of
''the pOwer'' which are developed. Even
at the climax of excitement at a Method
ist camp-meeting rarely are more than
two or three "prOstrated." But at one of
Mr.. Meyers meetings it is no uncommon
sight for fifteen or twenty to drop to the
floor and remain there limp and apparent
ly p0werless. Mr.. Meyers sect processes
to heal not only the soul from sin but the
body from sickness.
At the meeting last evening Mr.. Meyers
invited all who were sick in body or soul
to 90 forward and stand about the altar.
Then he and his assistants unitedly
stretched up their hands and exclaimed
Sin the name of Jesus of Nazareth re-
celye We the blessing of the Holy Ghost"
Whereupon some twelve or fifteen of the
twenty-five VINO mad stepped TO the front,
dropped to the floor one after another,
as if they had been shot. Nearly all
remained motionless and silent. A
few wTithed and moaned or cried
"HalleluJah!' or some other expression
of like nature. Then the ministering ser
wants turned their attention seYerally to
those who still persisted in standing up.
They laid hands on their shoulders and
again earnestly invoked the presence of
the Holy Ghost. Only two or three es-
capped being Frustrated after this expe-
rience. A majority Of those thus affected
were women. The meeting otherwise re-
sembled an ordinary prayer-meeting of
the more demonstrative sort.
