Performing Miricles.

CHANBERsBURG, Pa, Feb. 15.-The
wonderful faith cures worked III tins
place by Mrs. Woodwork, the evan
gehst, and her assistants, have Great
ed among certain classes of persons
fever and crave which borders on
fsnsticism- Many thousands have al
tended the meetings, and the cures
claimed to be well authenticated now
reach /, dozen in number. The church
in which the meetings were first held
has proved TO be inadaquate to ac
commod.,e the crowds. and the
operK house, formerly the Rink, has
been secured for the meetings 1t
seats two thousand prr-rus. and Its
capacity is severely r.N-f by the
throngs which nightly her from
al sections of the county, and even
fro0 Maryland invalid- come To test
the efficiency of the faith cure theory.
and Mrs Woodworth's success seems
greatsr than IT was IN Indiana and
Iowa. The hundreds of converts are
fsit' fdl to her, and are bitterly arous-
ed over the efforts uf orthodox
preachers tosuPpress her Mrs Wood
worth's cures. vouched for by the
parties themselves, include William
Wolf. Of partial blindness: J. A Kyle,
of daafnsss. and "A half dozen cures
Of confirmed rheumatics. The most
remarkable case ciaimed Is that oi
Mrs William Myers, who says that a
week ago she was an apparently nope
less yirtim Of consumption. She l.
now on the road To fun recovery
Every night Mrs. Wood0orth places
herself and numbers OF her converts
into frances, which last two on tErsr
hours.

ing. Work on a subject which is an ag-
gregation of shreds and patches indicates
a knowledge of the subject wholly made
quate to the needs of the teacher, indeed
it Is devoid of utility in any calling
When to the sin of incompleteness is
added barbarism of language it confirms
one In the belief that such teacher is
capable of doing more harm than good.
Habits of work formed IN school are te-
nacious. The teacher who absolutely
does nothing in school does not commit
SO grlevous crime against the future OF
the child as does the one who stamps the
character of the pupil with superticiality
and teaches the lesson that duty can be
properly performed without earnest effort.
Many applicants for certificates prove by
their work that they do not comprehend
the meaning of many of the words which
they use IN their answers. And yet of
those whose work is wholly unintelligible,
"a word here and there suggesting
labored effort to recall something COM
United to memory from text book, III
the hope that In the patchwork some
thing having affinity to the facts sought
may be struck,-a majority have found
complaisant school boards who agree to
employ them as teachers. And this with
out the excuse of scarcity of teachers.

wretched heresy that lone does not need
to be good scholar in order to be a good
teacher refuses to yield to reason.
