Laying On Of Hands.

why will we try to take the gifts
of Jesus in diluted form when we may
have them without dilution? Why are
we satisfied with anything but the
best when we may have the best? Why
take the authorizations offered by some
man who terms hymself psycholo-
gist when we may have the truth of
Christ, the great Master Mind, the
Wonder of the Ages?
In the Gospels of Christ you may
find more truth to make you free than
in any book or series OF lectures on
psychology. Why do you go outside
the Gospels for things which you may
find, if you seek?
I'm this church. in whatever church
of your choice you may find the truth
that will make you free. Why take
that which is diluted and adulterated,
and pay for it a great price, when you
may have that which is free, priceless?
Seek Blessings.
Henry Blandford. English healer.
who is drawing great numbers to the
morning and evening services asked
these, and like questions, last night of
his hearers, who filled the church, and
crowded to the rail to ask for spiritual
or physical blessings.
In the opening address last night,
Mr. Blandford preached from the Acts
of the Apostles. using as an illustra-
ton of the power of prayer the de-
liverance of Peter from prison.
He pointed out that they prayed
without ceasing" that Peter might be
released, and yet SO light was their
faith that when, having been released,
Peter came unto the house where they
were gathered and the young girl told
of his coming, they said: She is mad!"
Though they prayed they were sur
prised when their prayers were an
swered.
Yet, he pointed out, even with that
little faith las a grain of mustard
seed" they had made contact with God
and God had answered their prayers.
Power of Prayer.
Hundreds crowded to the altar rail
last night to receive the laying on of
hands Each night the number Of
those who seek the blessing Of the
church increases: men and women,
some of whom suffer, perhaps, from
bodily ills; others seeking only the
consultations Of spiritual help, night
after night and day after day they
come to receive the blessing Of God.
Last night a greater number than
ever before came up for the laying on
of hands.
Got Up and Walked.
One was there who had attended the
first night in a rolling chair. The next
day she walked about her home. Last
night she was at the church without
the chair, supported by two friends
and valiantly maintaining her faith
and belief. Another who had been ill
and lame for more than six months,
walked for the first time without her
crutches.
A young lad sat in his rolling chair
last night, there for the first time.
Many who had been helped or knew Of
others who had been helped went to
him after the service to tell him of
cures that had been made or Of help
given.
Mr.. Blandford told a story last night
of girl whose cure he had been eff
fected at one of his missions. There
but which he has not mentioned, that
have been chronicled by the press. One
of these was remarkable cure of a
man for many years bound hand and
foot by rheumatism. Another of a
young girl who had been twisted and
bent by disease for years, and many
others. And these were cured by the
laying on Of hands.
Week of Services.
But it is not only the cures that he
effects; it is the wonderful outpouring
of the Spirit of God which is felt at
these services.
Many go at first out of curiosity OF
for the desire to experience a sensa-
ton and find themselves in the pres
ence of the Living God.
The services will be continued for
at least one week longer, each morning
at 10 and each evening at 1880. There
are no restrictions of creed. All are
invited to attend and to come to the
altar and each night people of every
faith. crowd the rail to receive the
blessings which are poured out so
at the. services.
