THE HEALING MISSION

BENEFITR REPORTED AT NELSON. Nelson, November 13. The Hickson healing mission opened to-day. From 8.30 n.m. there was a procession of motor cars convoying sufferers to All Saints Church, where there, was a very large attendance. Several patients have already reported to have received benefits. In ime instance a young lady who has had to wear glasses for 2fi years was able to discard them and after the service was able to read the eio--est print. In another case a young lady was stated to have been cured of deafness. Tn company with her mother, she called on an officer of the church, who commenced speaking to her, when her mother interjected: “It’s no use speaking to her; she can’t hear." “Yes, [ can, mother," exclaimed the daughter. “I can hear every word,” and thereafter she conversed without finding tiny difficultv in hearing. “A case which has come under our personal notice,” says the Mail, “is one of a resident who has suffered from a defect in one of his thighs for several years, who has received benefit. He stated that he had been unable to lace up his hoot for two years, but after attending the mission was able to do so. He also stated and gave a demonstration, that lie could move his limb with much greater freedom than heretofore.”
