O'Clock Yesterday afternoon she par
took Of the holy sacrament IA tue pres
ence OF number OF relatives, neigh
bors and friends.
She then told those aboat her that he

something supernatural would occur
She prayed az times, listened 10 pas
sages read from the Bible and sang
few old Methodist hymns. She was
cheerful and expressed her readiness 10
90. She frequently spoke of the occur
renee that NAs 10 take place. She
would not say what il Was, tut said God
had shown her by some manifestation
that such a thing, whatever Il was,
would certainly come 10 pass. About
= O'Clock in the night there was
change IN the patient. She had been
very low all the night. Al that hour
she called all those around her 70 her
beside and gave them a last farewell,
saying she hoped TO meet them all IN
the happy home above.
There was quite large crowd pres
ent and each thought ali would soon
be over. She lay quietly as though
sleeping and moved not muscle.
Soon she broke from the revere, and
then came the manifestation of the
power OF the Lord, which those present
declared faith cure. Her mother
was sitting by the bed trying 10 sup
press her sobs SO as not TO disturb her
sick daughter. When the girl broke
from the sight slumber IN which she
had fallen, she said: Mother, would
you rather have me stay here, and do
YOU think you need me more than the
Lord" The mother could not answer
for a short time, but finally made the
reply: "The Lord will be done, and
if he needs you more than I, then | am
willing you should 60. Maybe he does
need you more than ]"
For the second time the daughter
asked her mother if she wanted her to
stay, and then her mother, amid sobs,
answered:
"Why, yes, frankie, of course I do"
"All right" responded the daughter,
"pray TO the Lord for faith to raise me
from this bed OF sickness"
They then repeated PRAYER over to-
gether, the daughter telling the mother
what to say. All sat quietly IN the sick
girls chamber, gazing attentively at
the strange scene being enacted. Soon
after Miss -Dubs requested all the
gentlemen to retire from the room.
She then arose from her bed and walked
across the room several times AS well
rs anybody could. She requested that
her wearing apparel be brought her,
and with but little assistance sue soon
had dressed herself. She talked with
the ladies' and walked about the room.
Then ali went into the dining room
where a lunch had been spread, of
which Miss Dubs partook most heartily.
During the repast she ehatted with I'll,
and appeared 10 be in the best of spirits.
The company sat at the table an hour
and a half, and the conversation
naturally turned upon the strange oc-
currence that had just taken place.
Miss Dubs is firm in the belief that her
work on earth is not yet done, and that
this is the reason the Lord saved her
from seemingly inevitable dean.
What the work is that she is TO do had
not been revealed, but she felt
sure she should know III good time.
She remained up during the remainder
Of the night and talked, prayed and
enjoyed herself as though she had
never been sick. When the time for
breakfast came she was on hand and
ate unusually heartily. The death
like pallor on her cheek had faded
away, her eyes were brighter. and she
declared that she was feeling first-rate.
Tonight she was reported As improving.
Rev. Deioss w. Tompkins, the Meth
odist pastor who administered the sac
rament, said: Every one can see a
great change in the girl. The time
of miracles is not over and strange
things are continually happening.

Mr.. Tompkins claims that q daugh-

rheumatism, was cured by the inter-
cession OF prayer. Whatever the out
