Newell is the village blacksmith OF
that picturesque town, man about %
years of age and of good repute among
his neighbors. He says that last Au-
gust while at work at his forge whls-
per came TO his ear commanding him
TO 90 forth and heal. His first subject
was his wife, who had been a longtime

a complete cure was at once effected.
Since this time he has successfully
treated large number. His treat
ment consists simply of laying on OF
hands and that only for few secands,
A somewhat lengthy account OF the
man and his cures is given in Sunday S
edition Of the Springfield, Mass, he
publican, written by its intelligent
Bra ttleboro correspondent, who in com
pany of several Brattleboro business
men recently visited Newell at his
home and while there witnessed re
markable cure, that of Mr.. Ihurbel
of Halifax who had been suffering FOL
some time from severe attack OF SCI

intervening, the patient, says the cor
respondent, raised his feet, swung hl'
hands, turned his body in di fterent po

nothing like a pain or ache.

IN THE ELM PARK CHURCH.

The day in Elm Park church opened
at S.45 o'clock with song and devo-

and announced that the addresses Of
Miss Leitch and her appeals for the

tributed which would be forwarded
through the proper channels.
Rev, +. A. Martin. of Troy, conducted
a parliament on the Deepening of the
Spiritual Life" In his Introductory
talk he dwelt upon the channels in
which the Christian should travel
through life in order to deepen the
spiritual life. Before we can inhale we
must exhale. The Heavenly Father is
willing to give us the breath of a holy
life il we but ask for it: then we may
edify our fellow men by the example
we exhale. Strength is. developed by
| exercise. We should exercise our re-
| ligiOus muscles by practice as we would
| our physical muscles. The deepening
of the spiritual life should not be a
| morbid intrOspection. We should look
into ourselves with hopefulness.
DIR. McCrory cited the fact that 1t had
been remarked that few women had
| taken part In the prayer periods and
he suggested that only they take part
| in brief devotional service. This was
done and was followed by singing.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 3, 1896.

The biggest. last and best day of the
Christian Endeavor convention was
Yesterday. Excepting two instances
the day passed without q hitch or a
hindrance. The exceptions were the
inability of John G. Wooley, the famed
temperance orator. to make railroad
connections and reach here In time for
the two afternoon addresses scheduled
for him at Elm Park church and the
Frothingham theater (though he ap-
peared at night and spoke in the three
places Of meeting) and the failure
Of the nominating committee to report
until evening on it's selection Of state
officers. These discrepancies, however,
were lost sight of in the general pro-
gramme.
The weather could not have been
finer. 1t was cold, but the sun shone
and the air was crisp and bracing and
seemingly in keeping with the interest
and doings of the big gathering of En-
deavorers.
There was the usual series of SUM-
rise services in many churches, morn
ing sessions in the rockingham and
Elm Park church, which were especi-
ally featured by the reports Of conven.
tion committees and committee con-
ferences and addresses: afternoon ses-
sions Of parliament doings and ad-
dresses in those two places; magnlri-
cent rally of the Juniors in the Elm
Park church, beginning at $50 o'clock,
preceded by band parade of those
young Christians, and the impressive
conservation services in all three con-
vention halls In the morning.
The delay in the work of the nomi-
mating committee was caused by its
failure to agree upon someone to sue
ceer DR.. McCrory as president. The
committee convened at s o'clock in the
morning. but could not finish its work
until after the noon hour and In con-
sequence there was no election OF off,
GERS at the morning sessions in Elm
Park church and the rockingham. as
programmed, nor during the afternoon,
as there had to be further change be-
fore night in the selections outlined.
Rev. Rufus w. Miller of Reading
had beeen agreed upon for president,
but positively declined to accept.
It was finally decided to recommend
Rev. A. 3. Philputt. of Philadelphia, to
succeed DR.. McCrory. of Pittsburg. as
president. and the latter to be first
vice-president and to succeed Mr.. Phil
