most Of whom refused to give their names
for publication, yesterday told OF cures
wrought by faith of various ailments, in
cluding insanity, consumption, heart trou-
bles and cigarette smoking, in the closing
services of the seventeenth anniversary of
the Church of the First Born, Jersey City.
Opening the exercises, the Rev. Martin
Hancox, pastor of the church, said he had
baptized TWO men and two women in the
bay in the morning, despite the sharp. cold
sea breeze. He explained that the baptism
took place before the services began, be-
cause the ceremony was possible only at
high water owing to the rocks. He would
not give the names of those baptized.
Charles Hand, of 525 BramhaIl Avenue,
Jersey City, said in the afternoon services
that he had been cured of consumption by
faith.
Saying that he was a graduate of Prince
| ton University, a man told how he became
! insane a few years afterward. He said that
he was in an insane asylum for four years
and was pronounced incurable, but that
friends took him to the Faith Cure Church,
in Jersey City where he was anointed and
prayed over. ana III lDTee weeks Was re-
stored to his right mind He announced
that he had never since had any mental
trouble.
After describing the futility of her ef-
forts to break herself of cigarette smoking
young woman said that she was instantly
cured when prayers were said over her
while she was anointed in the Church of
the First Born, and had never since felt
inclined TO smoke.
Mrs. Jane Thompson said she was cured
by faith Of heart trouble after dozen doc
tors had failed to help her.
John Jones, a colored preacher, who said
he came from Ohio, was called on for his
experiences. He had not been cured of any
disease, but was converted from sin. He
was describing his work in the evangelical
field when Sister AntCinette Jackson said:
We don't want to know what you are do
ing for the Lord, but what the Lord has
done for you"
Then Sister jackson started hymn, in
which the congregation Joined, and Mr..
Jones was no more heard.
William Whitley said he was cured of al
