MRS. CoRFIELD NOT ALONE.
OTHER BFLIETERs IN FAITH CURE
IN THE BERGhN BAPTIST CHURCH.


IN THE BERGhN BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Story OF Her Triple Cure from Disease
Deacon Miller, In Proving that Her Pc
euiinr Belief are Unscripturst, rneident-
niiy Tells OF Bir Strong Paiettir. Vitae.
There Is bitter feeling in the congregation
OF the Bergen Baptist Church OF Jersey City.
and q split up Is imminent owing to the action
OF the deacons in procuring Mrs. Cor6eld's
expulsion from the church.
There were only 100 mombers present at the
church meeting at which she was expelled
and although the vote was all but eight In
favor OF expellinE Mrs. Corheld. yet her friends
say that the people present did not represent
the congregation by any means
The rupture that Is likely to occur In the
congregation is not owing alono to the fact
that Mrs. Corfleld has been expelled. but Is due
to Others Ia the church being as much wrapped
IN In the faith cure as she is. and. although they
do not want to declare themselves at present.
because OF tho decisive action OF the deacons.
yet thoy stand together to act In unison IL
they have any show OF carrying their point.
That is. to belong to the Bergen Street baptist
Church and believe in their faith cure as well.
The creed OF the Baptist Church. rs inter-
preted BIZ the deacons, in relation to faith
cure. as given to a Sun reporter yesterday by
Deacon Miller. is that the Baptists believe in
faith cure only when medium Ia used In
healing the sick, through which the divine
healing power is transmitted.
Deacon Miller cited two instances from the
Bible to illustrate his meaning. The FIRST was
Christs' healing the blind man by splitting on
clay and laying It on the mans eyes. thus
using the clay as the medium. and the second
up his bed and walk, thus using the bed rs the
medium.
