mo hope for me to-day" chirped a
little OLD lady who spent hours in the
chapel twittering around like a spar
row, only to find that she could not be
treated before next Thursday.

who was carried into the church in his
mothers arms.

back again. The gentleman is too busy
to make you better to-day"
The number of organically diseased
people seeking treatment is on the in
crease. There was pathetic repetition
Of the previous days experience in the
number of creaking leather straps and
cruel iron cages binding the twisted
legs of small boys and girls And there
were plenty OF babies in arms-babies
whose eyes refuse to open and whose
spines are hopelessly curved
In the midst Of all this sickness and
suffering walked young man and girl
with two attendants. The chancel was
suddenly illuminated, and the dim re-
cesses of the chapel, with its pews of
praying men and women, were lit up.
Mr.. Hickson left his place in the chan
eel and continued his ministrations in
the nave
A minister took his place. and with
solemn information read the opening
lines of the wedding ceremony. The
man and girl were there to be mar
ried. The incongruity of taking the
nuptial VOWS in the midst of so much
suffering and sickness impressed itself
upon the onlooker. Forgetting their
own troubles, the lame. the feeble and
the trembling rose as best they could
and watched the ceremony with eager
eyes. Mr.. Hickson continued his quiet
ministrations without a break.
A letter has reached him from
youth in Boston telling of an absolute
cure effected by his treatment. The
young man was alytic-had not
walked for three years. He had scoffed
at the idea of going to the healer, but
a friend had persuaded him there
would be no harm. SO he went, and
had Mr.. Hickson's hands laid upon him
three times. There was no noticeable
change at the time. Now he writes
jubilantly he is cured and can walk as
we'll as any one
