A dumb man has begun to speak, and a cripple walks upstairs after years of helplessness. Reports continue to arrive from South Africa as to the miraculous cures carried out there. One of the cases quoted was that if two blind natives who walked 40 miles to find Mr Hickson. They were treated ill the customary manner—by the laying on of hands and prayer for the relief of their affliction -and were cured of their blindness. Another ease was that of a child who was dumb, and who. after treatment, was able to speak. An elderly European was cured of dropsy and paralysis of the arm.
