HICKSON MISSION.
LOCAL PREPARATIONS. In connection with the forthcoming faith-healing mission of Mr J. M Hickson, intercessory services are being held regularly at All Saints' Church, Palmerston North, at which special prayers arc being offered in the name of the patients who are to participate in the mission. At yesterday’s service, Sisters Heni and Beswick addressed a large congregation, explaining to them the effects of the Hickson mission at Hamilton. Many instances of remarkable reported cures were mentioned by the speakers, who also tendered advice to all those who intended to approach the mission.
