To this question was told that she
never charged one cent for her SER
vices--has been heard to say that if
she did charge, her birthright would
be taken from her. The people pay her
anything they wish-often mere pit
tance, again many dollars. One man,
in a burst Of gratitude, gave her an
automobile.
Speaking of automobiles, Aunt Mol

inevitable John Henry.
With these cars she operates a bus

whether they come, go, or stay, it's all
the same to Aunt Mollie, and though
she may or may not have the power of
healing others, she has the art of heal

Many instances were told me of her
kindness and generosity. No matter
how humble or poverty stricken the

the person who comes, perhaps hun

knows, will give her a goodly reward.
After waiting about two hours,

sensed the fact THAI the healer at last
had decided to appear before her wait
ing people.
According to the number on the
ticket held by each one, the secretary
lined up the lucky 20. Then Aunt Mol
lie, accompanied by an attendant, who
famed her vigorously, started down
the line. The first patient proved to be
man whose trouble was stiffness in
the right arm. He hadn't been able
to use it for three years. Aunt Mollie
laid her hand on his arm, let it rest
there for about minute, then began
to move her hand back and forth me-
chanically, saying as she moved it:
Your circulation has stopped. It's
coming back. :. Soon you'll feel
life coming back to it. Don't
you feel it? Soon you'll begin to move
your fingers. Soon you'll be WELL"
All this, over and over. After a
while the man admitted that his arm
felt curious, that he could feel some
thing like pin pricks. And listen! AS
I watched that armand never took
my eyes from it-I saw a faint flush Of
pink appear under the skin, a flush
that seemed to extend from his elbow
to his finger tips. / did not see him
move his arm, nor did I see any other
manifestation Of his being cured, but
I did see that flush appear on hither-
to pale and lifeless looking arm.
14o People There.
It was a matter of impossibility for
me to stay and see her treat all Of
the lucky 20. I watched her treat
several, and talked with them after
wards. Each wore a rapt expression
and pronounced himself greatly bene

as the throwing away Of crutches; or
the sudden restoration of sight. 1t may
be that the force that day was not as
strong as usual, or perhaps such things
were accomplished after / left. I can
only relate what / really heard and
saw.
About that time my husband ap-

reptitiously swapping Aunt Mollie's
likeness as she healed. His look had
changed from bored Indifference to that
of liveliest curiosity, and 1t was with
effort that I started him homeward. He,
too, had been asking questions, and
had learned that Aunt Mollie owned
her own home, with the 300 broad acres

counted the automobiles around the
place and found there were 10, and that
approximately 14O people were present.
There are at times as many as 300.
What do I think about it, and do I
believe in her? don't know. Aunt
Mollie has a most unusual personality,
and there is no doubt but that she be-
lieves in herself. She helps people-or
it may be it is their imagination that
helps them-for all of us know the in

perhaps it is their faith in her that
