day she was attended by a physician

| More Children There.
The number of extreme cases of af-
/ Fiction today was smaller than Thurs

| children was larger. There was an
especially large number of babies in
arms.
The number of spectators at the
| church was even larger than the first
J day. Hundreds came to look on as
the work of healing progressed. and a
steady stream of patients crowded into
the chancel from 10 o'clock until
/ nearly o'clock.
The work proceeded as on the first
near the front of the church, and the
rear half of the auditorium was roped
! off for spectators. ~
From All Over State.
The number of men. women and
| children treated today appeared fully
as large as Thursday, when 900 sought
! relief at the hands of the healer.
| Nearly all parts of Kansas and many
outside states were represented in the
huge congregation.
Continue the Mission.
The service this morning was
/ opened with an announcement by
Bishop Wise that Mr.. Hickson's heal

1T gives me great JOY" he said, ito
be able to tell you that we are going
/ to continue this healing mission. At
least one day of the week the sick and
| afflicted, and others in need of spirit
ual help may come to the cathedral
for a service of this kind. 1t will be
| a continuation of the laying on of
| hands"
Mr.. Hickson made a brief talk be-
fore he began the laying on of hands.
Faith for Miracles.
''It is good news that this work is
! to be carried on among you, he as
sured his listeners in the sonorous
tones that hold his congregation spell
bound. that your bishop has the cour
age and faith to put his boat on the
water and put faith in his God.
Re to do your part in true love,
humility and faith. and God will yield
blessing in time to each and everyone
Of US.
why do We not see miracles? Why
do not the miracles that were
seen OF old? At the same time
ask these questions. we stand between
/ Christ aud the miracles by lack of
4 faith. Christ gave his command to
carry on this work. Therefore we
should go forth in obedience to His
J command. 1t is not for to question

Here is a world of suffering. trou-

DO what you can to take him off the
cross We need him. Only thru the
power of Christ can we gain fun saliva

sad thing to me that We have been
looking everywhere hut to Christ-and
he has had his hands eutstretched to
us all the time
