direct me to goto Washington, but l can't
say.
Il try to model my life after that Of
Christ / never know where an TO sleep
or what am to eat. j don't want fC od
unless the people want TO give it me.
| never ask Ior anything to eat or anything
to drink l am ike the beasts of the
forests Sometimes | do not Know where
to lay my head. l have gone without /, Cd

At this point patient came i'll for treat
ment.

asked.
Yes"
"Stand up" was the command.
SChrader placed one hand ON the fore
head and the other on the back or the
patents head. Then his hands moved
down to the breast and back. All the
while his eyes We're lifted toward heaven.

next command.
The patient handed his handkerchief to
Schrater He took it and rolled it be
rween>his hands. keeping his eyes turned
heavenward all the time. Then carefully
folding it. he stamped il with the rubber
stamp, "Schrader. Divine Healer" As
he handed it back he said:
Apply this handkerchief To the afflicted
part. Good-by God bless you
How long will the handkerchief rem::n
efficacious?" was asked.
NO USE FOR MONEY.
Until it wears out; as long as shred
remiins the healing power stays withft.
You can wash ii or do as you please,
but you cannot take away the blessing.
God told me to use the handkerchief and
that is why l have taken it,"
viii you come to Washington and per
nit a public test TO be made OF your
powers?"
No. don't believe in public display
If the people want to come to me- they
can. The door is open. ANY one can
come"
You have no chargeS""
No. Ii any one wants to make dona-
ton he can. l don't want money. II
| get enough TO pay my expenses that is
ALL"
IF you receive more than enough what
do you do with it,
Il fling il into the streets. In Dallas,
Texas, | got more money than 1 needed.
SO l went and stood on a high box and
scattered it in the street ANY one could
have it who picked it up"
You never give any of it to the poor?'
mo; / can't be bothered with il. /
fling it away. Ny mission is to heal"
Have you ever met Schl after, the
Denver healer?''
No. Some people think We are the same
Francis Schlatter and August Schrader are
two different people. The last | heard of
SChlatter he was in Mexico
Are your cures instantaneous
EXTENT OF HIS POWER.
Some OF tn EN- are. 1t depends on
faith. You know you must come believing
l don't claim to restore lint bs, or eyes
that have been gouged out. | don't raise
the dead. Do you thinkit would be treating
my Heavenly Father right to raise the
dead?"
But Christ raised the dead
'Yes, but I'm not Christ. If you can
tell me where he put back gouged-Out eyes
OF restored amputated limbs Id like to
know the verse. The spirit has told me
where my power ends and l know
So he talked along, stopping now and
then TO bless a patient and coming back
to the conversation again with an evident
relish.
How long he will remain at Alex antlria he
does not know.
