WOMAN PARALYTIC
 PRAYS THEN WALKS
Invalid Heard Voice and Walked-Miracle Say
 Friends.

Rlchland Center, WIS.,, May b. q heard voice, as distinct as though human, whispering to me, Will you walk home leaning o2 no other arm but miner I will shout ed, and I leaped to my feet and walked for the first time in nearly twenty-seven years.'
 This is the description by Mrs. H. $. Moran herself of a cure she says was effected upon her during a cor tage prayer meeting here.
 q look upon this event as u.tex- plainable, except as a miracle, a dl- rect intervention of God raising up this woman of great faith,' said the Rev. D. G. Jones, pastor of the Re- termed Methodist church. Mrs. Mo- ran had been paralyzed for twenty seven years. She had suffered untold pain, but through it all had main- tained an abiding faith in the good ness and power of the Almighty to restore her.
 "She had been an attendant at my church only for the past few weeks coming first in her invalid chair about the first of December. l hac prayed with her a few times and re solved that We should implore God
 Regains VigOr of Youth.
 We gathered at a cottage prayer meeting Tuesday evening at the home of A. w. Rowland, perhaps fifteen o1 us being present. We read from-the fifth chapter of the Book of James We prayed earnestly for Mrs. Morar and at last 1 took little olive oi and anointed her. She seemed to be. come filled with vigor and strenglt and rose upon her feet and erie. out, "I will!"
 Before we realized it, she was no only using her hitherto helples: limbs, but was walking-yes, run ming about all over the place. She seemed to have no further use fol the invalid chair, but walked home unassisted, except for the assistance for which she had prayed.
 "She had been a most pitiable in valid. Dr. G. R. Mitchell, city physi clan, who had attended her, told mt that one of her arms and both leg: were utterly useless-dead. She wa: unable to move about or go any where except in that chair"
 Mrs MOran's cure is looked upo1 here as most wonderful said Ralpl Thurber, newspaper owner, former executive clerk to ex-Governor David son. "She has been a familiar sigh here in her invalid chair for man. years. She was believed to be with out hope of cure. Now she walks about, apparently cured of her in firmity. It happened at prayer meeting"
 Has Second Stroke.
 "Mrs. Moran came here bride, il 1884," said Ella F. James. "A montl later she suffered 3 stroke of paraly sis, leaving her helpless in her lowe limbs. Eighteen years ago a secont stroke left one arm useless.
 Deprived of children of her owl she adopted five waifs, some now grown to manhood and womanhood but the youngest still in the cradle.
 'tShe attended the prayer meetln, as usual, going in her wheeled chair but being carried into the meeting She was suffering worse than usual she said, and requested the others tt l join her in prayer for relief. Tn prayers of pastor and the little gath ering continued until nearly a. m
 when the miracle occurred.
 "She walked to her home. Upol reaching the front steps she sank t | the walk exhausted. The pastor, hi wife and others who had come alon'
 with her hastened to offer assistanc hn1p O | promised Jesus not to accept othe help than His She arose and walked
 unaided into the house. Next da she was on her feet most of the tim
 and in the evening walked unassist ed to an adjourned meeting of pray er."
 Couldn't Feel the Stick of Pine. q cannot account for this cure Ol any other theory than that it is miracle" declared Dr. G. R. Mitchell city physician. q have known Mrs
 Moran for twelve years or more. Sh has been almost utterly helpless. He
 right side has been absolutely voit of feeling She could not move th arm or leg except by taking holt with the left hand. Some folks migh think she was shaming all these year
 but she was not. I have seen pin' and needles thrust into the fleaS. O her leg. She could not feel it. Sh' has for many years moved around | only in her wheeled chair.
 "I have not been over to see hel yet, but have talked with folks wht have been in. and they say it i' wonderful that she is walking around the house and is taking care of tha little adopted baby, picking it un il her arms and kind of dancing around l like a happy, normal mother does."
