HEALING WONDERS.

THU HICKSON” MISSION",

MORE CURES REPORTED,

Many remarkable cures ctontinue to be reported among - the cases treated at the Hickson mission at Grafton, states the “Sydney Daily Telegraph.” The committee in charge of the mission last week issued a report stating that every one of the 139 cases had been carefully investigated.

“ The list includes definite and undoubted cases only. There are others,” adds the report, “ that might be described as ' improved,’ but it is still too early to speak definitely. Witty one exception many names and addresses are suppressed, the exception being William Mattinson, an old resident, who had been a cripple for 14 years. He walked immediately after the mission and continues to do so. “ Like Mattinson’s some of the other cases border on the miraculous. A woman, who suffered with serious heart trouble and was at death’s door, experienced instant relief and is still improving. A woman who was crippled for some lime is now walking about. A child who suffered from asthma for years is cured.' A paralysed child is now able to mow about. A once-blind man finds his eyesight improving. A little girl who had not stood for years is now walking and gaining strength daily. A woman suffering from severe lameness has been cured. Two children in one home, one deaf and dumb, and the other paralysed, show wonderful improvement. A young woman whose eyesight was defective, with one eye turned, has had her eyesight restored and the twisted eye straightened. A child of four years, lame for three years, is completely cured. A little girl from Lismore, crippled for years, is now walking. “ A cripple from Rappville, who had to be helped into the Cathedral no longer uses crutches. A woman suffering from dropsy, and who had undergone 2S operations, drove three miles to church on Sunday. A labourer, suffering from chronic disease in the stomaejh, has lost all pain and is now able to do a labourer’s work. A mid-dle-aged man who attended the mission with a crutch now walks without any aid. A woman, paralysed in the legs for three years, now walks slowly. “There are scores of other cases, the majority of them suffering from nerves, neuritis and internal ailments.” Preachiiig~at a thanksgiving service in the Grafton Cathedral. Archdeacon Tress said it was a marvel that so many wonders had been witnessed.
