FEEBLE LITTLE TWINS.
A pathetic incident occurred yester-
day. Two motherly women made their
way along the line, each bearing an in
FAINT in her arms. The most casual OBJ
server would know that the babies were
both sick and feeble. Behind them
came the mother of the little twins, a
pale haggard young girl, with blue lips
and one arm stiff from rheumatism.
She hardly seemed able to drag one foot
after another. The healer spent an
unusually long time over these three pa
tents and shudders contracted his fea-
lures as he strove TO convey an unusual
modicum of healing strength which he
believes finds its channel through him.

was present AT the house yesterday to
thank Schlatter and ask him if there
was anything he could do for him. He
was willing that everyone should know
what the healer had done for him, and
says that all his friends are astonished
over the cure. He had been afflicted
with a spinal trouble for eight or ten
years, and was not able to walk a
block without resting. He would sit
down on the curbstone every few min
utes to rest as he wen along the street
He states that he is now able to walk
all over town without suffering or rest
ing. He went to the healer one week
ago yesterday, on the first day Of his
ministrations in Denver.
WAITING AT SUNRISE.
When Schlatter arose yesterday
morning at o'cblock he looked out of
the window and beheld about fifty per-
sons in line who had been waiting for
hours. He went out and treated them.
Then he stayed in the house until the
usual hour of g. After that he did not

When Schlatetr was asked whe Their
he expected faith from babies, he re-
piled that little children were all faith;
it might be unconscious, but it was alb

and learned the ways of the world,
that they lost faith. When asked il

the Father sent the healing it came, no
matter whether he was tired or not.

ces his works above his worship of the
Bible. He is very quick to repudiate
the idea of electricity having anything
to do with his cures. When asked how
he came to enter into the work, he re-

he would remain in Denver till Nov
