the figure by which he wa defeated

lead.
The Roraback prophecy and

The Connecticut campaign is
moving sedately to close with
little display of fireworks. The
state never ratified the eighteenth
amendment and prohibition is re-
ceiving scant attention. Republi-
cans are emphasizing the tariff as
an issue, and democratic pleas are
largely on the personality of Gov
ernor Smith. On both sides the
urge is to have eligibles register,
and to get out the greatest vote
possible.
Against Rep. John @. TiIson, ma
jority leader in the house, the
democrats will make their most
determined congressional fight. If
the democrats carry New Haven
heavily for Smith and the rest of
their ticket it will be difficult for
Tilson to overcome the lead in the
districts restricted outside area.

PRAYER HEAL|NGS
CITED AT SESSION
Nazarene Society viii Hold
Curative Meeting to Prove
Point Today.

Several instances of healing of the
sick by the laying on of hands in the
name, of Jesus Christ were officially re-
ported today to the Triennial Confer
ence of the Society of the Nazarene,
meeting at Trinity Church, Third street
and Indiana avenue.
The program. under direction OF Rev
John Gayneri Banks of the National
Cathedral of this city and director gen.
eral of the society, included an address
and sermon by the Rev. Dennis White
of Covington, Va, reading of an off,
cial report from Mrs w. H. Mes, head
Episcopal Church in New Orleans. and
few scattered personal testimonies
from the congregation.
Demonstration Planned.
An open meeting for the healing of
the sick was scheduled for Trinity
Church by the society this afternoon at
4 O'Clock. At this time it was expected
by members that a power of faith in
healing would be practically demon
strated.
Testifying that he had been blown
up by a shell in the World War and
had been twice wounded, that his fam
lily physician didn't seem to know now
to help me-" Rev White told the story
of how he said he had been entirely
healed by the laying on of hands in
London. England. He also told OF ex-
pcriences in Virginia. where he him.
self had seen the power of Jesus Christ
heal serious ailments when he himself
laid on hands in the Holy Name.
Among these cases he quoted man
who had been paralyZed by poison
liquor. child i'll with pneumonia and
a man suffering acutely from some kind
of bone disease.
Specific Healings Listed.
The report of Mrs. Mes, who could
not be present. was read by the director
general, Rev. Banks She said that So
cases had been cured during the past
year by prayer and faith and the LAYING
on of hands. In her guild in New
orleans, 2l cases showed improvement
and Al cases were still on the prayer
list. Among the numerous cured cases
she catalogued briefly were A woman
stone deaf from Influenza a woman
with malignant growth on her arm:
an extremely complex maternity case
the recovery of which physicians con-
ceded, Mrs. Mes said, to be miracle:
a child with seriously finger
and woman who was practically blind
from cataract. which, after a year of
prayer and the laying on of hands.
completely disappeared.
Mrs. Mes reported that a physician
had said that the cataract case was the
first he had ever known where a
cataract was entirely removed without
resort to an operation.
