Clarence Emerfch, lately a horse
sheer. who styles himself Reverend by
virtue of his leadership Of the Pen
tecostaI faith in St. Louis, vouched
for the accuracy of this prophecy. He
said, in telling of the merits Of his
creed and in explaining the trance
which constitutes baptism into it, that
its ministers had the gift, through
faith, of healing the sick and raising
the dead.

woman was dying somewhere on Pine

me. I didn't know where the place
was, but the Lord guided me there. 7

body, and the undertaken was there in
readiness to embaim her. But by
prayer 7 brought her back to life and
raised her from the dead, and she
walked out OF the house unaided."

Healer Emerich and Eugene MI. At
