! God is the giver Of all things" These
were the words of SchlatteT in reply to
question from the reporter. While
the healer Yves speaking the work of
treatment continued without cessation
At times the healer sighed, but not
from weakness. He said he never felt
stronger in his life
An Old woman occupied a place in
/ front Of the healer for a long time dur
ing the day. She seemed To be engaged
in prayer and little noted the stream
that PASSED along. At last she was Civ

Schlatter. Retiring one or two PAGES
She held her hands together as if in
the attitude of supplication or adora-
ton. The eye Of the healer fell upon
the poor woman. 'By and by it viii
be all Fight" The woman said moth
ing in reply. but the expression OF glad
ness that snoOthed out Eler wrinkled
face transformed her again to the
years of youth.
After Schlatter retired to the house
he was seen by reporters of the News
and talked freely upon his work ITS
day and night work" said he. 1.-THE
mail this morning brought sixty-fve
letters and the afternoon mail has not
yet arrived. The father gives me the
strength"
The handkercbSefs were brought in
and THE healer treated a big basketful
of them as he talked. Mr. Fox came
into the room with his daughter, Who
had just returned from school. Miss
Fox was afflicted with deafness, but
stated that under treatment of the
healer her trouble had almost disap-
peared.

18th of November, when | will take a
rest of two weeks. Then / will leave

''Who VIII pay your expenses to Chi
cago." WAS asked.
"Oh, that is all provided for shall
not leave until "a ticket is sent from Chi
cage"
''Do you notice the difference be-
tween the. ailments of the people who
come for aid?''
Il could do so, but I DONE trouble
about that, The greater the faith. the
quicker they get well. Some have
more disease. some less. 1t don't come
In a day and can't be healed in a day"

ply to a remark that he seemed so
cheerful. Just as happy in a jail as
in a palace. / have no need of money
II would only be trouble. When

get it. 1 do His will. 1t is all healing
now. L never preach
"Mr Schlatter," inquired the listen
er, what do you say when you pray?"
Il pray the Lords prayer" was the
resIknse. 1T is enough. You may be
used to forms of your own, but the
Lords prayer is all I use"
The Healer talked at length concern |
ing his experiences of the past two /
years. He said he liked TO study geo. /
metry, but had little taste for books. |
