Church intend to surrender the God power
90 "a profession?
I have q case in my mind Of a lady in
South Africa who was so bad that when
the doctors came TO operate on her 10 re-
move large cancer in her side they re-
/ fused 10 operate for fear the patient
would die under the knife. Believing she
would be dead the next morning, they went
away, promising 10 return and operate
the next day as a palliatiOn 10 the mind
came alone next morning. expecting 10
md her dead. During the evening before
cableg gram was sent trom SoUtn
Africa 70 the city Of Washington, and
that woman was put under treatment.
God was invoked 10 heal her.
When the doctor came the next morn
ing She was sitting up IN bed. He placed
his hand where the cancer was, and said.
Mrs. Moritz. where is your canceTy
she said. God took II away III the
night He said. 1T Is rot true; my medi-
cine took it, But IL paralyzed the little
Dutch preacher in Jldt Dutch republic.
which is a republic no longer, and it took
him from june until September to get
mis- visls OF wrath hsrnessed together so
as to open them against this God healing
over here in Washington. And the COun-
try papers We're filed with the pros and
cons by that preacher on the one side and
my students on the other in quite a dis
cuSsion i'm regard 20 IT,
If the doctors are TO be the judges, why
did not they heal that woman? Why did
they pronounce certain death2 That was
supposed to be an organic disease. and
they are never 10 be touched
And He sent them to preach the king
dom of God and 10 heal the sick
The Interchangeable God had laws then
that would heal the sick. The Unchange-
able God to-day has the same laws and
the idea that We have 10 bow the knee
to mateTia mediCa before We are permit
ted TO use this God-given power is error,
nay Christian friends. and the Episcopal
Church must advance another step. Come
Up onto the platform where they will ac-
knowledge that God Almighty Is the
no more 10 do with il than any other
class Of men,
No Objection to Physicians.
Now. mark you. in all of our practice
we never object to the presence Of q ply
sician. If a person wants a phycisian.
they should have one. We have nothing
but kind thoughts for the physicians:
where in our practice we see they do not
understand the case and are doing harm,
We treat against the mistake. A recent
case in New York Of a disease that has
never been known to be healed by mateTla
medica was brought right up from death.
The doctors said she could not live twen-
ty-four hours, and the last / heard from
her she was eating three meals a day and
sleeping well. and was getting stronger
all the time. I know she Is doing we'll. or
/ would have known about it.
Hence We cannot allow physicians or
any other person TO stand between US and
the work of God Almighty. That is the
point | am making.
Now. ladies and gentlemen, I am going
TO tell you briefly of a few cases that
there was no doctor called In to ask
hot haa hon
The first is a case Of a man who lived
at Stoney Landing. at the mouth of the
WicOmicO River. in Maryland. He was
the express agent-I think the United
States Express, the only one there My
wife. Miss Van Voast, and number Of
Us were on our yacht down on the lower
Potomac, and we went into that landing
to buy fresh supplies. This young man
was interrogated He said he knew a
man that had chickens butter and all
miles. He said: There is a bad stony
bar you have to cross, and unless you
know the way you are liable to strike
rock and sink / wanted TO hire pilot.
He said; Il viii 90 with you myself"
In going up I heard him and the farmer
talking; they were both standing at my
side: I was at the wheel and they were
talking about his arms. His hand and
forearms were nothing but a succession
OF boils. | have no idea how many he
had on them. but he must have had as
many as twenty-five or thirty on each
arm. His arms were a continuous boil
He was telling this man of suffering a
great deal and the old man told him:
You want to keep poultices on the arms
all the time, and after while your blood
will become pure and you will get we'll.
We got our things and went back TO the
landing I asked him how much 1 owed
him for plotting US He said: Nothing
would not think of charging you any
thing l did it for accommodation" He
was really a nice young mana gentle
man. ! said: If you wiz hold out your
