his immediate followers. The man
who was born blind and the man
who was healed at the gate Beautiful
had no more reason for surprise than
had the father and mother in Louis
, vile, KY, whose daughter was healed
through Christian Science treatment
The young lady in question is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John P.
Stack, and Mr.. Stack, in writing of
her previous condition, says:
she (the daughter) had been lame
all her life, and when she left here
in June, 1911, her left limb was short
er than the other one and the nip
had formed an entire new socket. We
had her examined by several doctors
but none of them seemed to agree as
to what could be done for her and
we were advised by all but one to
| let her alone, as they did not believe
| anything could be done for her. This
| doctor wanted us to have weights tied
to her foot and keep her in bed for
several weeks and then let her wax
on crutches. AS at that time she was
only three years old, We followed the
advice of the majority and did moth
ing except to have an instrument
made to wear inside her shoe which
cost us $25 and did no good. For
the past year upon the advise of my
brother-in-law in Los Angeles, who
is a physician), she has walked in |
an ordinary shoe and upon her toes.
Her spine was curving and she was |
getting to be very badly crippled. |
Imagine our surprise and delight |
when the news contained below was
