FAITH HEALING MISSION.
SCENES IN SOUTH AFRICA. CAPETOWN, Oct. 11. Unprecedented scones in connection with Mr Hickson’s faith healing mission are reported among the natives of the Transvaal. On one occasion, near Petersburg, the missiotier found himself confronted by an enormous crowd of over 10,000 natives. The sick were placed in long lines of 100 each. He laid hands on over 7000. At the conclusion of the mission, as the Christians were singing the Nunc Dimittis, the heathens threw away their charms and amulets. Numerous cures are reported and a tremendous impression has been made. The opinion is expressed that the result may be a movement for which no branch of the Christian Church is prepared.—A. and N.Z. cable.
