LECTURE on DIVINE E-AI1No.
B. W. Brannsn Gave : Short Lecture
NJ to Prove his Claims Of Possessing
Healing Power Thursday Evening. "

b. w. .Brannen. of Royalton, who
processes to1Spossess divine healing
powers, gave q short lecture in the
court house assembly room Thurs
day evening. The audience was
small, due perhaps to the weather, q
rain storm being in progress at the
time. His hearers, however, were
attentive and evidently interested in
his explanation OF this question that
has caused considerable discussion
throughout the country recently.
Mr.. Brannen took the Bible for the
foundation and support Of his argu-
ment. He quoted from tho Bible to
show that in Christ's time all heal
Ing was accomplished by divine
power. The new testament contains
many references to divine healing,
but none where a cure had been
effected by doctors or physicians al
though both are mentioned in the
book.
He said the foundation of divine
healing was faith In God, sincere re-
pentance by breaking away from
sin and evil. and by prayer. He ad-
vised those who had wronged any
individual to right that wrong as
far as lay in their power to do so,
and that those who had committed
the sin Of stealing should restore the
stolen property to it's rfghtful owner,
etc. ,"f
His lecture was not quite az ex.
pected by some, a more lengthy dis.
cussion being anticipated. At the
end OF about three-quarters OF an
hour, discourse the speaker an.
nounced that the lecture was finished
for that evening, but that he would
give a much more thorough argu.
ment on the same subject at the
same place this evening II he could
secure the hall. He closed the meet.
ing by an invocation for the blessing
OF the Deity to rest upon all as.
sembled, and announced that he
would give an audience to anyone
desiring further informa ton on that
subject after the meeting was over.
Mr.. Brannen has secured the court
house hall for this evening again,
and If the weather 1s favorable, he
will probably have a larger audience
to hear his remarks.

bank statement the loan account, which
showed a further expansion of s13.6SiJO00, making
increase since January of SOL 600 600. The
gain in loans was due syndicate transactions
and mercantile borrowing, stock speculation not
being a factor The surplus above legal require
ments stands at S24 OILS 60. against 4S7SS25 the
same time last year, and unless stock speculation
should become rampant, which Is not probable,
money rates ought not to be excessive any time
this spring especially If the currency bill becomes
a law as by it's provisions large amount Of the
Treasury surplus will be released Local bankers
may be forced to charge more for money If the
Treasury keeps absorbing funds from this mar
ket. but higher rates would not be particular
