The superstitious beliefs of native

of two White men from Miami, who
claimed to be miracle healers."

nightly meetings in a school hall
here, where they boast that they can

The tricksters are known as
Brother Tommy Osborn, rs, and
Lawrence Iverson. They are aided
in the work of Fleeing their duped
believers by Osborn's wife, Daisie.
More than 1000 persons pack the
building every night to either be.
healed or see a miracle performed
AS many more hang around outside.
Hospital patients are brought
through city streets in carts by
friends and relatives to be healed
as well as the blind, deaf and cripp-
led.
Each night Sister Daisie opens the
meeting with a quick-fire speech
Of You're gonna see miracles done

have read about in the Bible. Only
these will be better"
Next in line on the program, en-.

The Home Of Radium Springs"
The Rabbits
PrediCament

The young Rabbi had just been
appointed to his first big syna-
gogue, and he devoted his inaug-
ural sermon to the subject of
Sabbath observance. His presi-
dent, however, took him to task
afterwards and suggested that as
so many of their members had to
keep their businesses open on
Saturday in order to make a iv-
ing, he had not chosen a happy
subject. The next Sabbath, there
fore, the Rabbi preached on
Kashrus. But the president again
objected - their members went
out to business and could not get
to Kosher restaurants for meals,
nor could they get back home in
the lunch hour, etc.. The third
Sabbath, the sermon dealt with
TaharaS hamlShpocho. Still the
president was not satisfied; after
all, he argued, such things were
all right in the .olden days, but
now, when everybody had a
modern bathroom :? On the
fourth Sabbath, the Rabbi, feel
ing frustrated, consulted the
president in advance. IF I can't
preach on Sabbath observance,
kashrus or Taharas hanishpocho,
then what can I preach on?"
"Oh," replied the president, "just
give us sermon on Yiddishkeit!"
