Several GOOdland People Pin Their Faith
TO the Messiah.

to the Messiah.
The wonderful cures credited Schlat-
ter, the New Mexican Messiah, has led
several Goodland people to seek relief
from ills and disorders through his
agency.
B. E. Coffin, who for some time has
been badly crippled by rheumatism re-
sulting from an attack Of lumbago,
that nearly ended his life last summer
is wearing one of the "blessed" hand
kerchiefs and has already experienced
relief.
CD. Stone also has faith in the eff
cacy of the healer's power and thinks
himself benefited by the treatment.
This wonderful man has certainly
powers not usually gifted to mortaIs,
and his cures Of thousands of people
bear witness the genuiness of his
claims.
The unselhshness of the man, as he
stands barehesded and poorly clothed,
day after day, in all kinds of weather,
healing and comforting the thousands
that visit him. and refusing every offer
Of payment, is a pleasing contrast to
the general ambition of the average
man who has hardened his heart
against humanity and whose only
thought is to the increase of his store
Of wealth.
