FAITH HEALING

CASES IN ENGLAND. The following is from the London Daily Mail: — Two years ago a crippled girl who had been paralysed and unable to walk was carried into the little church at Frizing Hall, near Bradford where a faith-healing service was conducted. She went through the ceremony of the laying on of hands by Mr. J. S_ Hickson, the faith healer, and was taken home. There, for the first time in her life, she walked a few faltering stops. When this week, a Daily Mail .reporter called at 81 Beck Side-road, Bradford, the door was opened hy a sturdy, red-checked girl, who said smilingly that she was the cripple. 'She was Miss H. TUloy. aged IG, and she said: “I walked first shortly ■after the service, and I have improved ever since. I can go for long country ■walks and have just received a. prize from Sunday school for good attendance I walk there every Sunday in all weathers. I feel ever so well ana am very grateful.” This was one of the cases of the faith healing mission now being carried on by the vicar of Frizinghall, the Key. J. H. Warner. He said: ‘•There are cases ■which are not so successful, hut in those in which there has boon relief it has boon lasting. A woman now dead recovered her sight after 80 years of almost total blindness, and another woman visited
