After Five Years of Intense Suf-
fering.

who are skeptical in regard to cures
of bodily ailments being brought
about through faith and prayer to
the Lord, but the doubts of the most
incredulous would be dispelled were
they to talk with Miss Lallah Hague
of this city, in regard to the wonder
| full cure that has been wrought in
her case.
While a teacher in the Napoleon
Union Schools nearly six years ago
Miss Hague was stricken with spinal
trouble and for five years was not
able to walk at all nor even to
sit up over two or three hours during
the day. She was treated by some of
the best known specialists in the
country and has suffered untold ag-
ony in the attempts that have been
made by them to restore to her the
use of her limbs-everything had
been done and tried but to no avail.
During the period of her invalidism
Miss Hagne bore her sufferings
with Christian fortitude, praying to
the Lord for strength and asking her
friends to do the same. On Friday
afternoon, October Both, the prayers
of the invalid were answered she
arose from the bed upon which she
had lived so long and has been up
and around ever since, walking about
the house, to church and down town
several times. The story of the re-
markable and almost incredible cure
is best told in Miss Hague's own
words:

regaining of all my physical powers
once more, which was brought about
through my own prayers to God
and those of my friends. had

by the best specialists obtainable, but
to no avail, all of them telling father
that he would have to be satisfied
with just having me near him and
that [ would never be able to walk
