Faith Cures in Pennsylvania.
READING, Pa, Jan. 2O.-"Tm healed!
Pm healed! and thanks be to God!"
cried out Adam Shower at the faith cure
convention here yesterday afternoon.
He had suffered from spine disease.
The large congregation was excited and
in tears. His two sisters, who had been
suffering from the same cOmplai a. and
who had tainted before the altar in
great mental excitement, returned to a
conscious condition and fell into each
others arms, weeping and rejoicing.
They declared that they were healed by
the wonderful power of faith cure.
John Fawl. of ChamberSburg, and Abel
Strawn appealed in loud voice to
heaven to send down its healing power.
Suddenly a lady i'll one of the front rows
tainted. Mr.. TrumbOwer then made
the air ring with his invitation to all
sufferers to come forward and be healed
by their faith in the grace of God. Miss
Cora Ritter, of Bethlehem, who had lost
her voice for several years, advanced to
the altar and then tell sobbing upon her
knees. ROSanna and Emma Shower,
afflicted with rheumatism, were then
led to the altar. The choir sang, and
the ministers formed circle about the
sufferers and prayed loudly and i'll
cessantly, and were Joined not only
by the penitents, but by scores of
their relatives, who clapped their hands
exultingly and called on the Lord to
hear their prayers. The ministers ex-
horted the people to remain steadfast in
their faith, as God had promised to heal
them in His holy word, and He could
not go back OIL His promise. Then Miss
Ritter arose, clapped her hands and
uttered prayer aloud, and facing the
