STORY OF A CURE.

WOMAN PARALYSED FOR 11 YEARS STARTS TO WALK. Remarkable stories of cures are being told by converts attending revivalist services conducted at Grimsby by Pastor Jeffries, the Welsh evangelist. The most remarkable is that of Mrs-. Altost, a Littlecoates woman, .who, after being a helpless invalid fjor eleven years, has suddenly recovered the use of her limbs. Mrs. Altost stated that in April, 1941, she was given up by several doctors and took to her bed. A spinal carriage was secured for her, and since then in fine weather she has been a familiar sight in the streets, being pushed about in the carriage. S.he had to wear blue spectacles because daylight caused her pain, and had to take frequent doses of morphia, . Hearing of the mission being conducted by ' Pastor Jeffries, she persuaded her husband to take her to the mission hall in her carriage- “ During, .the service,’’ she said, “I suddenly was able -to sit up in the carriage, to unfasten the leather apron, to step from the carriage, and to walk up to the platform:. Since then I have been able to walk without assistant. I have been able to discard the blue glasses. I have not taken morphia since. lam now anxious to sell the carriage.’’ Mrs. Altost said the cure created some embarrassment, she had disposed of aH her outer 'clothing years ago, thinking she would never require any again.
