Thank fortune Townley's clique did
not have the opportunity to befriend
the people of Minnesota. We can
we'll afford to dispense with such
friendship.
Now let US come little closer to
home. Right here in Mile Laos coun-
ty we have a man who is continually
his friendship for the far
mers. As editor of the Mile Laos
County Times he has been most active
during the past few years espousing
what he is pleased to consider the
cause of the farmers. EYE shall.
know them by their fruits" What
have been the fruits of this mans
service, what has this fearless cham
pion, attempted and what has he ac-
complished? There is probably no
project in which the farmers of this
county are today more interested than
in building good roads. What has
Mr.. Cravens done to push the good
roads program? We do not recall
that he has done anything but knock
the program from start to finish, and
we do not believe the farmers have to
thank him for one foot of good roads
in the whole county. All our roads
are not in as good condition as they
should be or will be in a few years,
but it takes time to build anything
which is at all permanent and every
one knows that the improvement in
the roads of this county during the
last eight years has been simply re-
markable.
The farmers are also interested n
securing better marketing conditions.
What has Mr.. Cravens done to help
them in this respect? We suspect
that he would consider this his trump
card, but let us carefully consider his
position in this matter. Last fall he
did everything in his power to place
the state in the hands of the Townley
candidates. Was the man who was
working to do this the real friend of
the farmers? Do the farmers, or any
other level-headed citizens of the
state, want to give Townley's men an
opportunity to experiment with Min
nesota as they did with North Dakota?
How does Mr.. Cravens stand With
regard to the farm bureau, the most
powerful organization of it's kind that
has ever been formed in this country,
and one of it's chief aims is to better
the farmers marketing conditions.
It took good deal of pushing ard
loyal boosting to reorganize the farm
bureau association in this county and
where was Mr.. Cravens then? He
was either throwing cold water on
the proposition or remaining entirely
silent on the question. Now that it
is organized we may find him coming
around to support it.
Last but not least Mr.. Cravens has
been everlastingly busy attempting to
stir up bitterness and distrust DC
tween the farmers and the other
business men Of the county. He will
fail in this as he has in 50 many of
his other undertakings. Yes, Mr..
Cravens, you may be sincere in your
declaration of friendship for the Far.

friends of your type would prove a
milestone around their necks.

the pastor Rev. G. H. Sven, who had
been preaching in Washington 80
years, called some of the preachers
present into his office for a similar

Girl Walks
Atlantic City Press. Jan. 6

Warren Collins, from Texas, as
founded a capacity audience at the
Chelsea Baptist Church last night
by the cures effected in sight of the
audience OF the sick and crippled per-
sens brought before him.
Three deaf persons prayed for by
the famous Texan layman evangelist,
whose work has been a surprising
feature of church services in the
North and South during the past year,
suddenly stared blankly at one anoth-
er then a light of sheer joy mingled
with surprise, swept over their faces
for their hearing had suddenly been
restored. They rose and shouted HAL
lelujah, praise God" singing hymns
of thanksgiving as the strains Of the
organ and prayers became audible to
them.
Several other persons who were i'll
many of chronic ailments, later were
healed as Mr.. Collins and elders of the
various churches of the city prayed for
them.
The climax came in the midst of
the rejoicing when a little crippled
girl, who had hobbled to the front of
the church on crutches suddenly cast
them aside, turned about and walked
without artificial aid as the prayers
were said for her. The remarkable
demonstration of healing brought tears
to the eyes of the assemblage.
The music rendered by Mr.. w. E.
Odum and Nj. Schauffer, Of Phila-
delphia, touched the hearts of every
one. Mr.. Collins also plays the
piano and writes many of the beau
tiful songs that Mr.. Odum sings.
Rev. and Mrs. SENT, the former
vice-president of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance, will assist id the
meetings today. The meetings con-
tinue from 3 o'clock through the night
service. A luncheon will be served
at six o'clock by the ladies of the
church.

A CONFESSION
Rev. Ben Cox Tells His Congregation
He Has Been On The Trail For
Many Years in Ministry

On account of the marvellous re-
suits that have attended the services
conducted by Warren Collins, at the
Central Baptist Church, the pastor,
Rev. Ben Cox, Sunday was impelled
to make a statement in which he de-
clared that for twenty-five years he
has been on the wrong trail.
During the brief time the services
have been conducted more than 400
conversions have been secured and
about 100 have joined the Cen
trail Baptist Church, to say nothing of
the number that have joined other
churches.
Doctor Cox says that. during the
years of his pastorate he has been
running after the people and now they
are running after him, and that the
church seems to be on the eve of
greater things. The statement made
by DR.. Cox to his congregation was as
follows:

Church, that | make a very frank
statement.
"For a number of years have been
more or less interested in the Script
ures in the last chapters of Mark and
James, and other places, but l have
either lacked clearness of conception
or courage of conviction enabling me
to step out on the promises of God.
I am frank to confess I rebelled, as
many others do, against the idea OF
putting a few drops of oil on a persons
forehead when having prayer for the
sick. l could see nothing in it.

Revival at Memphis

A remarkable revival of healing
and salvation has been in progress
in the Central Baptist Church, Mem
phis, Tenn, for a week and continues.
1t is being conducted by Mr.. Warren
Collins, a business layman, of Fort
Worth, Tex, assisted by DR.. Ben Cox
pastor of the church and several local
pastors and laymen.
There have been a number of per-
sons healed, over 1000 have been
prayed for and Amounted. Diseases
of almost every character have been
healed-deafness, paralysis, rhue-
matism, infantile paralysis, cripples,
internal troubles, demon possessed
and other works of the devil have been
undone by the power of Christ's name,
in the answer to the prayer of faith.
Great crowds come, sinners are saved,
backsliders restored, believers filled
with the Spirit and the devil as well
as some of the people 7 stirred to
opposition.
Jews, Catholics, infidels, rich, poor,
learned and unlearned meet together
and in the heavenly atmosphere of
prayer and praise, are melted into
contrition and eagerly long for the
touch of the healing hand of the
Savious.
1t seems to be easy to get folks
saved. The problem of how to reach
the masses has been solved in Mem
phis-all classes attend, who never
go to the ordinary revival, and they
soon become convinced that what
they see with their own eyes is di-
vine-"for He hath visited and re-
deemed his people,"
Yesterday a deaf and dumb boy
was healed and spoke to his un-
saved) father for the first time and
the latter broke down and wept and
gave his life to God in surrender, while
the people shouted and clapped,

Dazed at Results

II was led to invite Brother Collins
here because the news had come to me
of the marvellous manner in which the
Lord was blessing him and his associ-
ates in New Orleans. l simply expect
ed that he would be here OF two
weeks conducting the noon prayer
meeting and perhaps have a short
service at night. Nobody in Memphis
is more surprised and dazed than | am
at the marvellous happenings we have
witnessed the last three weeks. Very
many people are coming to me say
ing: doctor Cox this makes me think
of the days when Christ was upon the
earth"
cat the beginning of this wonder
full revival meeting 1 saw scarcely
anything in the matter except the
blessings brought to the people by
the Lord healing the sick in answer
to prayer. The tremendous evangel-
istic feature did not appeal to me
| had not though of it. l am now
thoroughly convinced that Jesus in
tended these two streams should flow
on side by side, as that great Baptist
preacher of Boston, DR.. A. J. Gordon,
used to contend. Traditionalists and
materialists have damned up n Of
these streams, claiming the day Of
miracles are past, but they do not
seem to be able to show the chapter
and verse which teaches that the days
of miracles are past. Jesus plainly
saws: "Greater works than these shall
we do because / go to my Father"
and as dear Gordon used to put it:
"The force of the stream is stronger
because the source of hte stream has
been raised"

Faith Healers AnnOint More Than
1000 With Oil to Effect Cures at
Convention Hall

Springfield, Mo.-More than 1000
people were prayed for and Amounted
with oil yesterday afternoon at the
divine-healing services at Convention
Hall. Warren Collin. had charge of
the services and gave a practical talk
on the difficulties encountered. First,
he said, the life or heart must be right
and the person seeking healing must
be willing to forsake sin and follow
Christ. "People come to me and ask
me to pray that they may have faith"
he said. and | only pray somewhat
as follows: "Oh, Lord God, this man
does not believe what you say, nor
trust in your word, he is making You
out a liar; Oil, Lori have mercy on
his soul"
Mr.. Collins was assisted by Pastor
Potter, of Los Angeles, Calf; Pastor
Arthur Frodham, of Fredonia, NY.
Archdeacon Phair, of Winnipeg, Can
ada, and several others. Among those
who testified TO being healed vas a
mar who had not been able to hear a
watch tick for many years but said
he could do so now, a woman suffering
from tuberculosis, and another from
kidney trouble, a child who had been
deaf was so overjoyed from ecover-
ing his hearing that he clapped his
hands and embraced several of the
workers.
Services will be held Saturday from
/ to 2 o'clock.

Healed By Faith

modern follower of the teachings of
Christ. 81 a%nnoint you in the name
of God the Father"
The Church is not often crowded,
but there is a constant stream of per-
sons who have come to the worker "on
inquiry" His services continue from
10 in the morning until 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, and from 4 o'clock until
6 o'clock. More than one hundred per-
sons received the prayers of the five
deacons and the worker, were annoint-
ed and ~professed a quality of faith

ty-five years 1 have been going after

past three weeks matters have been

the people they have been coming
after me. The rich feast l have had is

Boy Receivers

Among them was the little son of
j.. Vitter, who lives in 222 South Clark
Street. The father accompanied the
son, who has always had al impedi-
ment in his speech. Deacons laid
hands upon him while the worker
anointed his brow with oil and urged
him to have faith.
eff We are healed it is through the
faith of God," he said, and the boy
stutteringly repeated the words after
him. The ministers passed on.
Tuesday morning the Rev. w. A.
Jordan, pastor of the central Baptist
Church, visited the home of J. Vitter,
and talked with the boy.
"He spoke perfectly" DR.. Jordan
said. 81 talked with him, and 1 was
unable to detect any impeachment in his
speech"

HEALER DECLARED
TO EJECT CURES
Afflicted Persons Treated in Church
Announce They have Been Made
Whole-Weep, Sing and Give
Praise-BOy a Victim of Paralysis
Walks Out Unsupported.
From Philadelphia Public Ledger,
Dec. IA, 1920.

Sufferers from all manner of dis
eases wept, laughed, sang praises to
God and declared they were healed
last night after Warren Collins, a
layman healer of Forth Worth, Tex,
had prayed over them in Hebron
Tabernacle, Twentieth and Spring
Garden Streets. Two persons deaf
at the beginning of the service, said
they could hear at the close, a wom-
an with an impediment in speech began
to talk with hawless pronuncia-
ton; a boy who had been ~paralyzed
from birth jumped three feet in the
air and clapped his hands, and a
woman who had been f~arsighted
threw her glasses on the floor and
crushed them under foot.
Those dramatic scenes formed the
climax of an intensely emotional
service. While a choir of volunteers
sang the old revival hymns in every
conceivable key to the %accompani-
ment of a grand piano and an old
harmonium and men, women and
children Frustrated themselves on
the floor, sobbing or shouting "Hal-
leluiah! Amen!" and "Praise the
Lord!" Mr.. Collins knelt with the
sick whom he had invited to the
platform.
The Healer's Treatment
He touched the afflicted, clasped
his hands tightly over the ears of the
deaf, the eyes of those of failing vision
and the legs and arms of the para
lyzed child, and prayed long and
fervently over each of them. Much
in the same manne as Mrs. Aimee
Semple Mcpherson, who conducted
similar services in the C. C. Han
cock Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church some time ago, he command
ed the evil spirits to come out.
"Come out!" he exclaimed. Leave
the body of this child of God! Satan,
take your hands off this dear one of
Christi"
And from the congregation there
burst forth shouts of $50 be it,"
"Amen," Jesus is his ~deliverer!"
And the members Of the %impromptu
choir sang on and on, louder, it SEEM
ed, and in a higher pitch all the time.
Mrs. Clarence Collins, of 4168
Germantown Avenue, declared she
had been cured of deafness. A man
who had suffered from the same
affliction also said he was cured. He
declined to give his name. The
paralyzed boy was Harold M.
Rhoads, Jr., 16 years old, of 1895
North Alden Street, West Philadel-
phia. He was carried into the taber-
nacle by an older brother, but left
the service unsupported, jumping
and beaming with happiness. The
woman with the impeachment of
speech was Miss Sallie H. Green, of
Twentieth and Spring Garden Streets.
j. H. Ray, of 2030 North Twenty
first Street, said he had been freed
from the effects of a v break
down. w. Virgins, of Darby, de-
clared he had been cured of chronic
headache. The woman who discard
ed her glasses refused to give her
name.
