Ia the Mennonite Church in Reading
Pennsylvania, strange wonders are be-
ing wrought The consumptive, the
paralytic, the dyspeptic. those afflicted
with rheumatism, indeed men and
women sick with all manner Of diseases
are being brought TO the church for
healing. and they fall before the altar
praying and sobbng until they fall ex-
hausted. Testimony as to the result
cannot, under such conditions, be re-
garded as valid. but many arise CRYING
Il am healed How much Of the
trouble was bysterical Imagination or
hypoehondria the papers fail TO state.
One girl had lost her voice, and fell
before the altar speechless. In this
instance surely, nothing would be more
natural than that under the high press
ure of such excitement her voice should
suddenly return, as il did The force of
such excitement might even enable
lame man to east aside his cane and
walk, for it is we'll known that in q
state of mental exaltation or excitation
the physical is for the time being for
gotten. The disciples OF this faith saw
that belief in the bible necessitates be-
lief in faith cure. Surely belief ia the
bible does necessitate belief in the cures
performed by Christ through faith.
But whether that power given his dis
ciples also, to cure by laying on cf
hands still prevails one must question,
until he has seen the miracle himself.
Investigation goes to prove that these
miraculous cures. are cures Of nervous
Diseases alone, where mental state
has induced some imaginary physical
trouble. Where there is real disease,
if it is stayed for the moment by mental
excitement, there is soon relapse into
the old state. The world needs miracles
of healing and surely if there is cure by
prayer and faith, the proof of it will
not be wanting long.

THE AGENCY REMOVED.

The observation-disclosures. w. w. Chap
man, K. j. Matthews and +. X. Sever

from Mr.. Wales store to the residence of
Mr.. l.. r. Sayre. County Commissioner
S. B. M. Cowles was here on Friday and
appointed Mr.. Sayre agent in place of
Mr.. Wales, who had held the office for
about three years. The change was
something of surprise to the selectmen,
who were not aware that anything had
been done till Mr.. Sayre showed one of
them his commission. The board met
Tuesday morning and decided to move
the towns stock of drinkables forthwith.
There is some talk of abolishing the
agency, but probably nothing will be
done till after the town meeting in March,
and perhaps not then.
