Brother Warnon held faith curing
service last night, and today half the
doctors in town are wondering what the
Hades will become of them.
People who had never heard for IL

either.
The average time for curing blindness
was about Eve seconds; ditto rheuma-
tism and deafness.
The hall and gallery were more than
crowded, many people standing during
the entire evening for lack OF seating
room.
The service was opened with the sing
ing of several hymns, after which Rev.
Mr.. Stevens suggested that it would be
as we'll to make the collection before
proceeding further.
The money so obtained, he stated,
would De applied to defraying the living
and travelling expenses of Nj. Warnon
and his sister, also the rent OF the hall
and necessary sundries. 1t was also
announced that Mr.. Warnon could not
be seen at his private residence, and the
sudience were forbidden to call on him
at any time but that occupied by the
public service.
The speaker declared that all who ex-
pected to experience the laying on of
hands must first send detailed de-
scription of their affections prior to
receiving the assistance of Brother
Warnon.
What the precise bearing this was to
have upon Brother Warnon's powers was
not explained.
A prayer was then offered up that the
faith healer might be specially inbued
with healing powers during the evening,
at the conclusion of which prayer Brother
Warnon rose.
Mr.. Warnon is patriarchal looking
gentleman with flowing whiskers, a
dignified expression and pronounced
English accent.
Only short time was occupied by the
speaker, who for few minutes dilated
upon the wonderful results accompany
ing faith and the laying on OF hands.
1t was impressed upon those present
they were not to expect an instantan-
eous or lasting cure, but the speaker
added that God frequently did heal in
simultaneously and bade his hearers take
comfort. This was followed by realistic
description OF the disease of peritonitis,
which was extremely unpleasant to
listen to, many women in the hall
plainly evincing their disgust but
description until the conclusion was
reached and the sufferer from per-
itonitis healed. During the healing,
Mr.. Warnon related how, at the crti-
cal period of the woman's illness, the
listeners present. heard muffied sounds
hailing from the dying woman's inte-
rior. These, said Brother Wsrnon,
were the sounds of the diseased organs
reviving. The noises were like the
cracking OF PERSONS fingers. and after
lasting few minutes. the dying woman
rose and threw things around.
When the speaker reached this point,
many hallelujahs were audible in the
hail. there were also a few audible
sniggers, but the irreverent ones were
in the minority.
Those who were partly healed at the
last service were then requested to come
forward, in order that the work of heal
ing might be completed.
An old man with lame foot was &C.
companied by three others, whose all
ments were not visible to the naked eye.
They were informed that if they were

believed hard enough; if they believed,
nothing on earth could prevent their
cure.
Brother Warnon, pointing out one OF
his subjects, told her to tell her ex-
perience with neuralgia and failing eye
| sight.
She declared that after having ex-
perienced the laying on of hands her

Vanished.
Brother Warnon said "praise the
Lord" in an astonished tone, and
Woodworking doctor, who had strayed
into the meeting, swore, and going out
side drank heavily.
The same lady stated she had rheuma-
tism and couldn't raise her arm
above her head, hadn't been able to for
2years; she was also deaf.
Brother Warnon laid his hands upon
the useless shoulder and the woman
raised her arm instantaneously above
her head.
