They declared that Mrs. Carlton must
die. So she prepared to die. 1t was de-
cided that she might be able to sur
vive q few days-hut not week.
AT this juncture arrived a Christian
scientist. The scientist-a woman
had been recommended to Mr.. Carlton
He frankly declared that he had no
faith in such methods. But in order
that he might know that he had eX-
hausted every resource. he admitted the
healer to the room Of his wife.
In three hours his wife was able to
take food. In ten hours she was sitting
up. In two days she was moving
around the house. Now--only a few
weeks after the time she was given up
to die--she is riding around the village
OF winthrop apparently in good health,
and she eats as much as her husband,
and no one ever accused him of lack of
appetite.
There is Evangelist Sanford of the
Temple Of Shiloh in Durham. He has
healed over five hundred persons, so
the faithful assert and is still healing.
| Thursday of each week is the regular
healing day at Shiloh On that day
the saints put in ten hours in prayer for
! the sick. In that time those In the tenn
pie do not partake Of food. They are in
| constant prayer.
! The desk of the altar is piled high
/ with letters from all over the country.
Hundreds of people write each week.
The five hundred cases of healing that
] have referred to have been performed
right at the temple The chief evan
gelist says no one knows how many
have been healed among those who
have written for the prayers Of the
saints. But he has faith to believe
that most have been cured.
There is at Shiloh a fve-story brick
building that cost twenty-five thousand
dollars This is called Bethesda, and is
devoted to the purposes Of hospital.
The saints have no regular physician
there. THE Holy Ghost Is the great
physician" they say earnestly. So far
there have been no cases of death at
the hospital to call for investigation by
the Notwithstanding remarkable
piece of good fortune for Shiloh. Some
indignant relative or fussy physician
could very easily stir up a great deal of
trouble for Shiloh If matters failed to
run about right within its mysterious
wards.
Evangelist Sanford also casts out a
great many devils at the hospital of
Bethesda in the course of year. He
states that he averages a dozen a week.
The demons are Of all sorts and Ian
guages. He says that out Of one per-
son he has cast half a dozen assorted
devils, each speaking a different tongue.
Mr.. Sanford is not inclined to discuss
his work in these lines with any except
his intimate friends, for he has told me
many times that the general public I'M
derstanGs little of the principles of de-
monology and might scott at his state
ments.
Down at Small Point in the town of
Phippsburg a while ago the Biblical
method of healing came into great
vogue. It was based on the scriptural
to those afflicted with bodily |
ailment. They were directed to call in !
the elders of the church and submit to |
prayer for healing. !
In Small Point a woman who was
nearly Frustrated with tuberculosis de-
cided that she would throw away cod |
liver oil and inhalants and try the ell

revival in the village, and the
elders were able to pray with especial
JUNCTION. They came and stood around
the bedside of the woman and prayed
In two days she was out attending the
revival services and wasn't taking a
drop of medicine. From that time on
Tor two months the elders of the church
we're kept busy in Small Point. DR..

unless the ache was pretty tough the

we're not really crazy. Their relatives
wanted to bring them back to town in

nd the insane were left at Augusta.
The sudden death of the woman who

Eagle Lake is about the lonesomest
