said, became powerless gradually and
for the past six months it had been
necessary to carry Leah from one
room to another.
The child was taken to the Della
ware Hospital by Miss Mary Cook.
social service worker, every Tuesday,
where she vas treated by a specialist
from Philadelphia. Mrs. Howard said
the physicians and nurses there were
ever so kind but at no time could they
move Leah's legs, they appearing to
have grown fast at the hips.
On Tuesday of last week, the day
the child was to have visited the
hospital, Mrs. Howard called Miss
Cook on the telephone and told of the
wonderful cur by prayer and Miss
Cook visited the Howard home. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Howard, the social
worker asked Leah to visit the hos
pital so the physicians could observe
how she could walk.
While weak from her long illness
the child said she was planning to go
back to the hospital to visit the nurses
and physicians who had ben so kind to
her.
Mrs. Howard said she and none of
her family had ever attended the
Christian and Missionary Alliance,
where the Rev. Mr.. McGarvey is pas
tor, and that Leah had attended Sun
day School at Brandywine M. E.
Church.
The child's mother said that during
the past year Leah had little if any
appetite and for three months prior to
last week she had eaten little but ice
craem. The child is still in a weak
ened condition, but the mother is con-<
fident Leah will ecover and resume
her studies in school.

From Wilmington Evening Journal,
February II, 1921.
Having recovered through prayer
the use of her crippled legs, Leah How
ard, aged IL years, a daughter of Mrs.
May Howard, at 122 East Twenty
fourth Street, is urging friends and
others who call to hear her story of
recovery to "believe in Him who died
for u.s." Little Miss Leah when seer
at her home this morning beamed with
smiles because she is able to walk and
romp like other girls and it is ex-
pected it will be but a short time when
she can her studies at No. IL
school at Twenty-second and Market
Streets where she was a pupil in the
tenth grade when she ceased attend
ing school on account of illness in Jam
uary, 1920.
According to Mrs. Howard, she had
almost given up all hope of having
her youngest CT three children cured
of a strange affliction that followed an
attack of influenza.
Nine physicians had attended the
child, but had failed to restore the
use of her legs, on which she could
not walk after recovering from the
"fu." Almost distracted, Mrs. How
ard telephoned on Saturday a week
ago to Warren Collins, evangelist,
who is conducting services at Della
ware Avenue Baptist Church and who
processes to heal through prayer.
Mr.. Collins and the Rev. William
L. McGarvey, two members of the re-
vival party, went to the Howard home
and after hearing the story of the
child's illness they with Mrs. Howard,
the mother, Miss Edith Howard, a
sister, and Leah knelt on the parlor
floor and prayed. In the course of the
prayer, according to Mrs. Howard,
Evangelist Collins impressed on her
daughter to believe in Jesus, and after
praying for fifteen minutes the
gelist arose and assisted the crippled
child to her feet. He urged her to
take a step, but Leah, who had been
unable to move her feet for more than
an inch for the past six months, hest
tated. Under the guiding hand of Mr..
Collins she took a step and with a
smile that brought forth tears she
walked forward.
Urging the child to believe in her
prayer and not in any curative powers
he might possess, Mr.. Collins, accord
ing to Mrs. Howard, walked the child
back and forth across the floor and
when the revivalists left the Howard
home, Leah, unassisted, was walking
about, slowly at first, but walking, for
the first time in six months.
AS a proof that she no longer is a
cripple, Leah walked around her home
this morning while Mrs. Howard was
telling of the remarkable cure that had
been effected in her daughters case.
Mrs. Howard said that while physi-
clans had stated the child was suffer
ing from influenza when she vas first
taken i'll a year ago last month all
differed as to the aus of her losing

The Girls Statement

"For several years l had a goitre
which bothered me very much, then
about a year ago l began having COM
plicated diseases, lack of blood, no ap-
petite, neuritis, ETC., and was in a
breakdown condition.
Il came to Warren Collins meeting
a week ago and Brother Carter anoint-
ed me and prayed and since then 1
feel like a new girl. My goitre has
gone down and my appetite is increas-
ing and in general have not felt so
good in two years and l know the
Lord has done the work and praise
Him for it."
"(Signed) MILDRED JOHNSON"
Girl Says Goitre's Reduced
Miss Johnson when spoken to about
her cas last night, said she had
shown no improvement in her condi-
ton prior to visiting the healer and
was now much better, the goitre hav-
ing diminished two and a half inches
during the past week.
The young girl was asked:
Had you been treated with any
other method that deals with faith
h~ealing?" She replied:
"No, I never did" When asked if
she wanted her picture printed to-
gether with the statement, she said:
81 don't care. The evangelists ask
ed me for it and l gave it to them"
Miss Johnson said that neither she
nor any member of her family had
paid anything to Mr.. McGarvey or
anyone else in the Collins party be-
cause of the improvement in her con-
dition and the evangelists had not
asked for any remuneration.

head of each department of state

Of the governor, to arnarge and class

employees such duties as may be con-
ducive to the utmot efficiency.

says, it has been deemed best to make
