The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-29

In it Mrs. Martin said that she had
just prepared dinner for forty-six
people and that she had done it with
out the least fatigue.
Mrs. Conner is not without a vein Of
humor. In speaking of Mrs. Martin 8
case she said: "Thts woman has so
many things the matter with her that
I thought possibly time would cure her
before she got through telling me Of
her ailments
HER PECULIAR SYSTEM.
The popularity about Mrs. Corners
method is that while she says herself
that her power comes from the Lord,
she does not require in the person heal
ed the possession of any faith what
ever. So-called faith cures of the
Dowie and other stripes require that
the person who is to receive the bene-
fit must believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ with soul, heart, mind and body,
and give himself over to nothing else
but the thought that he is wholly
Gods and can be cured alone by Gods
mercy. The persons who by some
means or other have become rid of
their body ailments while in attendance
at Mrs. Corners meetings, have not
been in the main church-going people
at ALL Most of them, on the contrary,
have been of the non-church-going
classes and utterly skeptical as to
Mrs. Corners powers They only went
to her when interested friends told
them that they would not be obliged
in any way to commit themselves to
any profession of faith, Of religion or
Of belief either in God or the power of
the woman who was to attempt to heal
them. Physicians have been in the
place and have seen some of this heal
ing done. The cases enumerated above
those nf fyrh oIol
in the presence of ascrowd. The thing
was not done under a bushel, and they
have been willing Witnesses to their
cure without pretending in any way
to account for it, All sorts Of things
have been accomplished Suggestion,
hypnotism and will power have been
the favOrite explanations advanced.
Mrs. Conner says: 1T is pure faith on
my part in the Nazarene. This power
is in me, and 1 can account for it on
no other ground than this abiding be-
lief which have in Christ's power to
cure through me on account of my i'm
plicit faith in him. / am not a Chris
tian scientist. / am not hypnotist.
1 don't know what they mean when
they say / cure by suggestion A
man named Clarence McIlvaine is man.
ager of the Grand hotel in Cincinnati.
He had slocomotor ataxia in it's worst
form. DR.. Prendergast, of the Cincin-
natl board of health, told him that he
would never walk again. 1 heard of
his case and went to see him. He got
out of his wheel chair and walked.
The 1ocomotor ataxia left him. / have
letter from him. He tells me to make
it public He says that he is today
as strong a man as any in the world
and that he has been such from the
moment that 1 touched him.
1T has been said that when some
person protesting the power of healing
is able to cure a deformity where the
surgeons knife and the doctors rnedi-
cine are alike unavailing it will be
time enough to say that the cure is
something beyond the effect of simple
will power. A Washington child was
born with a malformation of both
ankles. She suffered frightfully. The
best specialists in the United States
said that she wasoincurable. She wore
iron braces on both feet from the time
that she was first allowed to stand.
The minute theyEwere removed both
ankle bones left9 their sockets, as it
were. 1 touchedteth child and she
was healed instahtly.n She described
the healing feeling as one like that
experienced when3onetday she had been
given gentle eleetrici shock.
This healing is part of my life /
