FAITH CURE AGAIN KILLS.
"Sanctificationists" Say Patient.
Appointed Time Had Come.

Bridgevile, Del. Sept . Nathan Dor
sey, an old colored man of this place,
believed in the 'faith cure" He was
sorely afflicted, but wouldn't have a
doctor Death rewarded yesterday his
steadfastness.
1t was peculiar phasc ~ CHRISTIAN
Science known as "sanctiiicalion" that
had taken hold ul the old man. During
the closing hours OF his life those of hts
neighbors who shared his beliefs gath
cred round his bedside and PRAYED that
his malady might depart from him.
But death was obdur4te. Now the
sanctificationists" say: "Dorsey's time
had come, and the Lord had called him
bone. Nothing could have made him
live longer"
Dorsey had been sick here for two
months. He came to the home of Hettie
Burbage, colored woman, after leav
ing. Baltimore hospital, suffering from
a diseased stomach. The Burbage woman
is a mem ber of the 'sanctified" band.
These adherents of the "faith cure''
came here several years ago from Chico
league, Va. Hettie Burbage was one of
the leaders. Her theory of treatment
OF the patient Dorsey she thus expressed
docs not the Lord cav ASK and We
shall receive" We asked, praying often
with Dorsey, and he was relieved"
During all the time the old man was
sick not a physician saw him nor were
any medicines administered to him.
When he was in particular pain those in
the house would kneel at the sick mans
bedside and pray for relief. This. the
Burbage woman said, was always as eff
cacious as morphine or any medicine
could have been.
At various times during his illness,
people stated the lack of treatment would
result in the mans death, but neither
Mrs. Rurbage nor Dorsey lacked faith.
They believed their mode Of treatment
the onlv safe one.
The Burbage woman says that thirteen
wears ago she was convinced of the eff
cAcy OF the faith cure" treatment Since
then, she says, the only medicine she has
had in the house or taken has been faith
and prayer"
