NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., August IL Especial
to TIE BEE. 1.-The latest faith cure sensa-
ton is that accomplished by the Gospel Army
at their barracks in this city. They report
several cures of infrmities and diseases of
long standing, among which is an old colored
woman living here, on Third street, who has
been blind for a number of years, trying all
with little success. She visited the
Army, at their place of worship, expressed
her desire to try the cure, and special prayer
was offered for her recovery. At its conclu-
sion the old woman declared her vision was
clear and she could see as well as in her
younger days.
A lady from Lincoln, Mrs. Nurdan, is
another case cured by the prayers OF the
Gospel army. She had long suffered with an
affection of the spine, being almost a cripple
from the effects of it. She visited the army
there and after earnest prayer she walked out
of the hall to her carriage.
Another case is that of w. H.. COmmlns,
also of Lincoln. whose case had been given
up by the local physicians. lie is reported as
having been cured by the combined efforts Of
the two armies of Lincoln and Nebraska
City. The cases are exciting no little in
terest, aud the faith cure is gaining ground.
The Methodist Camp Meeting.
FREMONT, Neb., August 12.-[Special to
THE BEE. Notwithstanding the unpropiti-
Gus weather since the opening of the Netho-
dist Episcopal camp meetings here, the meet
inCs have been continued, except when rain
ing, with profit and pleasure. To-day the at
tendance has been at least | 200 persons, and
the sermons and addresses have been OF re-
markable interest. The first exercise after
breakfast was a sermon preached by Rev.
Savidge, of Omaha. IL was full of power
and convincing logic, and the e~plgramlnatlc
expressions for which the speaker is celebra-
ted. The main services of the day were held
from 1880 until | o'clock. At the beginning
of these over $500 was raised as a fund fol-
defraying the expenses of the meetings. The
sermon was preached by the Rev. DIR. Creigh'
ton, of Lincoln. He preached from the text;
"Forasmucb as we know we are not re
deemed by corruptible things, but by the
precious blood of Christ" The cen
trail thought of his theme was ',thC
Lamb of sod as an atonement for sln.'
His discourse was a mastery presentation
OF the subject of redemption and Christ
part in the divine plan of saving the world
He showed that Gods plan was to create inc
race not as machines, for then there coulC
not have been any virtue or any wee, anc
consequently no independence or RESPONSE
bility ON the part of man. He put man IN 9
moral world in a condition of absolute cqul
poise in the matter of choosing to do good Oh
evil. But before the creation he planned to
save such of the race as chose to do eva
by Offering his son as a Precipitation for sin
thus revealing his great love even for those
| who violated the will of God. His sermon
was one of the ~clearest and most forciDle
ever delivered in Fremont.
Mrs. Harrison, soloist in the Methodist
| church of this city, sang with great sweet
ness my Jesus / Love Thee" and .Tht
| Mistakes of My Life Have Been Many"
At 80 o'clock DIR Creighton delivered al
|! address on the educational interests of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Nebraska
after which Presiding Elder Shank, of The
Grand Island district, preached a stronE
sermon to a larger audience than was pres
ent in the morning.
