rather have people speak for me.
HE is NOT CHRIST
MANY people say that claim to b
Christ. That is not true. I do not CLAIM
to be Christ. I am only His agent ant
representative. He gives me the power
to do this work for the poor and afflicted
No. l am not married and do not expec'
ever to be. This is my life's work, ant
If were married could not devote my
entire life to Gods service.
II am an instrument of Christ and
here to do his work love him and him
alone. l do not belong to any church ir
this world The Spiritualists, the hyp-
motto believers, the Christian Science
people and others have tried to claim me
but l don't belong to any church o,
creed. If did people would not be Sc
free to come to NE. believe in thosf
that love Christ. l love my neighbor as
] do myself. If there is any enemy
love him and would do all l could fol
him, even to giving my life for him
If there are any to condemn me, l say
in the words of my master: Let him
who is without sin cast the first stone.
If people would do this there would be
very few stones cast in this nineteenth
century"

1T is neither magnetism nor electricity
1t is simply q divine gift, born in ms
and not acquired. If it were anything

cures. AS it is 1 hardly ever fail with

Yes, it requires faith in God on the
part OF the patient to be benefited by
my treatment. Faith is ali In all: faitf
we must have to live, to exist. Without
faith there is nothing. According t.
your faith, 1t shall be unto you said
the master Hence we must have faitt
to be cured in the physical as we'll as in
the spiritual world. They must have
faith in God to be cured by him though
me.
II have communication at various
times with God. cannot describe just
the nature OF it, but there comes sud-
den light and I hesr the voice of GOD
speak to ME, directing me in his work be-

Schrader refused to say anything
about other persons in the country who
have of late been reported to have per-
formed miraculous cures by the layini,
on of hands and blessing handkerchief
as he did not want to be confused with
any Of them. In q general way. he said
that there were no divine healerS in the
country now but himself.
THE ONLY GENUINE.
1T know that there have been no divine
healers on earth" lie said, "since the
time of the Apostles. that is divine heal
crs who do as I do. so from place tt
place, healing as I so and accepting nc
remunera ton for the work. No doubt
divine healers will spring up all over
the world after my work is done, to show
that God is always the same, the same
today as yesterday and the same tomor-
row as today"
Asked how it was that God had lief!
the world to grope along during the long
period of time between the days of the
Apostles and the advent Of himself,
Schrader
'It was because the gospel of Jesus
Christ spread all over the world; people
were more devout, and there was more
faith in God. Under those circumstances
there was more prayer and many, many
cases were healed by him through indi-
vidual prayer In the last fifty years or
more the people have grown more world
ly and their faith In God has decreased
Therefore he has chosen a person like
myself to go forth and heal in order to
show that his healing power has not d.
minished. And l am doing that now.

Schrader came here direct from Albu-
querque. N. M, where he had stopped
after making tour of all the large cities
in Texas. In San Antonio and Galveston
he attracte large. crowds Of curiosity
seekers and the afflicted, and excursion
trains were run into those towns to &C.
commodate the throngs that went to see
Kim. He says he has received letters
from hundreds of people all over the
coast asking him to come, and now he
is here and Will meet the public. Asked
as to the probable length Of his visit he
replied that he did not know how much
time he would spend in this city, but he
was going to cover the state at all the
principal points.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock he Is to
appear at Westlake park and will there
give his first treatments to the public

attract a large crowd. While Schrad-
er's statements may be taken with a
grain of skepticism, as to the marvellous
cures he claims to be able to accomplish

attention at the hands of eastern news
papers and their columns contain &C.
counts of instances in number where
blind, lame and otherwise crippled and
diseased humanity have left his hands
apparently much better for the treat
ment.
