General yioorehoad's Daughter Restored,
after Lifetime of sickness.
PrgrSBUEG, April 2l.-Miss Mary f.
Noorehead, eldest daughter Of the late
General Moorehead, and long known as a
confirmed invalid, has of late, to her best
belief, received substantial benefit from the
simple and faithful exercise of her own
believing PRAYER. having previously set aside
the use of the ordinary remedies to which
she has for so long looked for relief.
She fully believes that the great, and to
her friends marvellous, change that has re-
Gently come TO her physically has come sole
lv through her trust in Christ's Willingness
10 near prayer. She does not profess to be
fully cured as yet, but firmly believes that
complete cure is not in the very tar distant
future
For thirty years past Miss Moorhead was
an almost helpless Invalid, confined for
periods OF year at the time to her bed, and
never able to move any distance except in a
conveyance and with the greatest care. Last
August she had been taken to the mountains
snd there listened to the counsel OF friend
sho advised her to torego all hope of reliet
through physicians and medicines and to
ass and depend upon Divine aid The
friend assured her of the efficacy of such
trust by citing her own experience in kind,
and pointed to the text, Jno., ), l6: The
prayer OF faith shall save the sick" aud
other Bible declarations of the same i'm
port
Miss Noorhead was convinced and the
very next morning, she saws, the evidences
thar the answer to her prayers had come in
the night were too plain to be mistaken.
She could move about, was immeasurably
improved, and through the succeeding
months to this time has continued to be so,
until she is now able to take active part in
the affairs of lite, enters energetically into
the work Of her church and astonishes all
who know her By the tests of her enduance
No Human Agency Necessary.
After she was we'll on the road to recov-
cry, she paid visit to the Faith Cure at
New York, and was there anoiuted aud
PRAYED with, and she feels that she was
much benefited thereby, but in talking yes
terday afternoon, about her cure Miss MoOr

ST who come 10 see her that her cure is the
elect Of her own, individual, faith and pray
er, and where ths, is strong enough there is
no need Of any other human agency From
the dare mentioned she has employed none
and does not propose ever again to do so.
There is nothing sensational about my
case, said the lady. ~ might make it so,
perhaps, if attempted to tell Of what |
have suffered and how completely was
Frustrated in those years, but there is no
need of that. The simple facts are that |
was SO, and that through taith am now al
most recovered.
II was with very great reluctance that the
lady, after much persuasion, consented to
allow her story to be printed and it was only
in the belief that it might bring about some
good 10 others that she finally did so. A
great many persons hearing OF the marvel
Gus cure have called upon her and she has
made a habi; Of staying at home on Mon
days of each week TO see them, for, she SAYS,
she is always glad to tell of it 10 those who
come in earnest.
