MIRACLES, PART !.
Powers and Privilege Conferred upon Ed
ers in Apostolic Observation-Disclosures
That are Easy.
(By Rev. Marion w. Marley.)
(Copyrighted by AuthorD

copyrighted by Author)
A miracle is a wonderful thing, event,
effect or being that apparently is super
natural, or contrary to the laws of nature.
Miracles and religion are nseparable.
Miracles have either preceded or followed
every great religion. In nearly all cases
the real power to perform miracles has
been kept secret.
TO prove that my religion is as great and
true as any other religion, | give my
apostles and apostolic elders power to per-
form the following miracles and, in process
of time, they shall perform many other
miracles. Who would not believe that my
apostles and apostolic elders are unable to
perform the miracles herein describedY
1t is unnecessary to explain every miracle
in detail. In order to puzzle the best phys-
clans and very witty people, it is necessary
to study the best books of magic and to
thoroughly understand these diseases as de-
scribed in the medical books of the age or
by the best physicians.
One of the most successful methods of
performing miracle is to cure the disease
secretly or have a physician cure the dis
ease secretely, the person cured pretending
to be diseased until favorable circum.
stances in which a person arrives and
spontaneously cures the apparently diseased
person by the laying on of hands or some
other simple method
