was packed to suffocation and the excite
ment was of a character that might cause

in the days of miracles A sermon by the
Rey. +. w Rerk hiser opened the proceed
ings Then the Rev. Mr.. Musselman, OF
Bethlehem, delivered stirring address,
urging reliance upon the Lord instead OF
upon doctors in times OF sickness.
In the midst of an appeal to the people
to have greater faith, coupled with an as
surance that prayer can heal all ills. a
Young man named Mahlon Neischwender,
from Auburn rushed to the altar, which
was now surrounded by half dozen clergy
men, exelaiming: Il am suffering with
consumption. | gave up medicines and
now rely on the Lord to cure me, want
your prayers. all Of you. Sobbing aloud
he sank on his knees, and the clergymen
called for prayers. Then three women
left their seats and went forward. and a
woman named Mrs Breniser said: II have
suffered twenty years in my head. | be-
lieve in prayer | have faith and believe
Jesus win cure me-" She, too, fell upon
her knees and PRAYED while the people
S3nS a hymn.
! Mr. Musselman made another appeal to
10 audience, and a number of clergymen
offered fervent prayers. Men wept, women
swooned and the congregation was ex-
cited. The ministers gathered about the
sick, and laying hands upon their heads
implored the spirit of God to descend and
heal the afflicted and penitent kneeling at
the altar.
During this time strong personal appeals
were made by other ministers to sick
people in the audience to come forward
and be healed Here's one who cannot
get through the crowd exclaimed a voice
in the reas IF the church. The deaeons at
once responded and carried young
woman suffering with spinal disease
to the excited, weeping, praying throng
about the altar. Meanwhile the choir
sang. The eonsumptive young man was
soon overcome, under his great mental
strain, and he fell PROSTATE on the floor.
A half hour of prayer service was kept up,
while the clergyman urged the applicants
for cure to continue strong in their faith.
Several women testified To their renewed
strength, and expressed belief that they
would be cured
For an hour at least this service was con-
tinued, and at its close the sufferers de-
parted with light hearts, and were told to
come again.
