ALL SPENT ON FAITH

WOMAN S MISSION OF HEALING. 1 ' x. EVEN RESIDENCE GIVEN UP. Once .worth £20,000, Mrs. Kathleen Haxby Kendle, a Hampshire woman faith-healer, is now a poor woman. She had spent all her money on her mission of healing during the eight years of Her work since she was herself cured of internal trouble and her son of tuberculosis. - J ■■. ; Recent sudden financial difficulties have caused Mrs. Kendle to close her centre in London, to sell her cars, and to retire to her home at Chandlers Ford. “In - the eyes of the world,” she said a few weeks ago, “it has been foolish or me to spend all my money on the cause. But I know it was part of the divine plan that I. should, do this. “I was strengthened to resist the temptation to make large slims of money by commercialising .my sacred gift of healing and holding large public meetings. To-day, with enough money to clothe and feed myself, I have decided to hand over this house, the last thing I possess,' to the cause. Then I should have nothing more to offer, except my faith Ao imbue people with the means of finding peace and. happiness. “My only regret is my .inability to reply personally to my many thousands of correspondents unless they ; send me a stamped addressed envelope. At one time I spent as much as £lO a week in postage, blit I cannot do that now.” Mrs. Kendle says she hopes to be able to visit people at various towns ; some time in the future. “Every day I receive the'most touching letters, many of them telling me of long suffered irin having disappeared,” she said, “and I can remember every individual and their particular need. . . “Every night, in every continent, there are people who, at 10 o’clock, concentrate their thoughts on me as a focal'centre. “The knowledge of this great wave of faith, which is shared even by a man. in prison, but who is now resolved never again to touch drink, the cause of his misdeeds, is a tremendous help to tn® in my work. The work of healing will go on.”
