Church Makes Enough Converts.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10.-Prominent re-
ligious circles seem to be agOg over a
new religion that has found its way into
St Louis. salvation, santification and
divine healing" is the designation of the
faith announced by the evangelist,
Rev. J. G.. Stewart.
Quite a number of the parishiouers Of
the leading churches of St. Louis and of
various denominations are disciples Of
this new doctrine.
It ia reported that Mrs. Clarie Ely, the
widow of the late senior member of the
we'll known firm Of Ely Walker Dry
share of the financial responsibility of
the church to be founded.
Mrs. f. @. Boyle, the venerable
mother Of Judge ilber f. Boyle, was
also referred to as faithful devOtee of the
new religion. Mrs. Ely is a prominent
member or the Third Baptist church and
Mrs Boyle is a commitment OF the First
NJ. e. church, south. To further augment
the interest in this seeming revolution in
religious worship, it was announced that
Rev. John n. McClurg, pastor of the
Pres bvterian church of the Covenant at
tended one of Mr.. Stewards meetings a
few days ago and appeared to be much
in sympathy with the doctrine of "divine
healing"
Stewart has an abundance Of witnesses
who testify to having been "heaied' by
simple faith alone. Mrs. Emma Parker
of ColIinsville, Ill, testifies that she had
been "healed" three years ago last June.
She suffered from an internal tumor and
the attending physician pronounced her
aff1iction incurabIe, she said. She was
taken to a hospital in this city to die.
"SuddenIv," she said, II decided that if
We could call upon the Lord to forgive
our sins, we might look to him to cure
our bodily ills. The faith Of Jesus
Christ in my soul healed me and deliver
ed me-"
Mrs Edna Bowden, also of Collins
vile, testifies that she had been ''heal-
ed" three years ago. having had con-
sumption at the time, being blind and
suffering innumerable other physical
ailments since 1S49.
Evangelist Stewart said that a young
man had been cured of nervous prostra-
ton at the meeting during the afternoon. |
Four years ago O. w. Morrison, of this
city was "healedv OF chronic yapepsia /
during the service Of the meeting held
by Evangelist Stewart, according TO the
latter.
At the same time, Mrs. Keith, who re-
sides on Pine street, near Jefferson ave-
nue., was dangerously i'll with an Internal
