HUNDREDS, SICK,
FLOCK TO "HEALER'
J. M. Hickson, Layman of
Church of England, Said to
Aid III of Baltimore.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The star
BALTIMORE, December 13.-Scenes
which were familiar when Chris,
walked the earth. healing the sick and
afflicted, were re-enacted this week in
Baltimore, when hundreds of persons
in all walks of life were carried before
James Moore Hckson. a layman o.
the Church of England were helped
to him by relatives and friends or
walked painfully up to the altar OF
the church before which he stood as
he conducted his Mission of Heal
ing.
Men, women and children. some of
them afflicted from birth. and suffering
from all sorts of ills, some blind. others
deaf, dumb crippled so they could
not walk. filled the edifice for the three
days that he conducted the mission.
Fathers and mothers. their faces
shining with hope for their afflicted
little ones and with tears streaming
from their eyes. their lips moving in
silent prayer. filled the front pews.
Tell of Benefits Derived.
Although. as far as one could OBJ
serve. there were no cures at the
altar. there were persons who told in
private of benefits derived from the
laying on of hands by Mr.. Hickson.
One mother. her eyes red and her
voice trembling with emotion, said
her daughter. six years old. had
been able to stand alone for a minute
TOT the nrSt time IN Tour years. An
other woman said she had not been
able to read for years. She declared
that she went home and read the ac-
counts of Mr.. Hicksons ministry in
the newspapers with perfect sight.
A woman inmate of the Home for
1ncurables. who said she had been
unable to walk unasSisted for months.
walked unassisted from the church.
Mr.. jackson Described.
1t is impossible to imagine more
matter-of-fa person than James
Moore Hickson, who, before his de-
parture, announced that he would re-
turn here next April, when he finished
a three-da mission in Washington.
His face is plain. His black hair is
brushed carelesSly and the mustache
untrimmed. He looks like any Eng
1iSh business man one might meet on
the street. Plainly he doesn't think
much about clothes. He was dressed
in a gray suit that showed signs of
wear and a black derby hat that evil
IDENTIFY had been bought several years
ago.
Don't refer to me as the miracle
on his arrival here. Il am not that"
He says that he accomplishes abso-
lutely nothing of himself, that it is
only by the actual presence of Christ
at the altar and by the power of faith
of those who came asking healing
that healing was accomplished. He
did not deny the existence of the
malady. he said. He did not reject
medical ale. But ii was recognized
that physicians could not go farther
than their remedies"

]. C. BienYenu'S Balloon
Exploded.

| In another column we publish
}. G. Bienvenu's defense of his ac-
ton in voting against the gravel
road, which is evasive and he
jumps on the Council and abuses
it, but his effusion is just like ex-
ploding little toy balloon, little
noisy, but harmless.
His defense is SO weak that we
did not think it worth reply, but
any way, We must say something.
His reference to the financial
part of the administration is too
weak for discussion as any one in
terested knows the financial condi-
ton OF the town as statements are
published every month, including
the liabilities.
If his statement concerning the
sidewalk and new power plant was
made within the walls of the in
sane asylum, there might be there,
some few OF the inmates crazy
enough to believe him.
He voted against the tax be-
cause of the great injustice of tax
ing some people to build streets
elsewhere.
Now let see, j. G. Bienvenu was
one of those who signed that petit
ton that Doc Olivier presented to
the Council asking for an election
to vote $4,000 to build roads
in the parish TsIDE of
the wn, he believed that
was right and just; But it was un-
just and outrageous for these same
people to vote the same tax to
build their own streets, is this pos
ition not ridiculous and senseless?
And, was this tax imposed upon
the tax payers by the Councilp
No! The proposition was submit
ted to them for them to accept or
reject, and they have by vote
of two to one, voted the tax of
their own free will.
This means they are progress
sive and want to construct and not
destroy.
His opinion of the Council is not
to be seriously considered, we known
that he is sour as a green parsi-
mon since his great influence was
knocked out.
This administration defeated the
Broussard administration after
hard fight by only two votes.
The election after he thought that
by putting out their strongest and
most influential man they would
win and j. G. Bienvenu put him
self for Mayor, and got the worst
defeat of any candidate for many
years aud when the third term
came he could not get any candi
dates at all.
This and the voting of the last
tax shows that the people have a
different opinion of the Council
than he has.
j. G. may bea good Baby, but a
bad politician and a poor critic.
