but the crowd Of sick and crippled
was so long yesterday that 1t WAS z
o'clock before the last person had
been amounted and prayed for by Mrs
Mcpherson.
1T is not 1 who should get the
credit for helping you dear people,"
said Mrs. Mcpherson. during the ser
vices. "It is to Him you should give
thanks. He is with us today and
working miracles. God will cure all
who have faith in Him. Just pray
to the Lord when you have ills, and
if your faith is sincere you will be
healed.
Many people are not helped be-
cause their faith is not sincere. They
do not believe they will be helped.
God will not help these people.

last night and addressed two large
revival meetings. one in the lower
church and one in the upper. Dur
ing the day yesterday more than 5000
persons visited the church, the larg-
est crowd in it's history.
