THE FAITH CURE IN OTAGO.

Dunedin, this day. No doubt some readers will remember the interest awakened some years ago regarding Miss Ross, of Maungatua, who has now been confined to her bed for nearly 16 years Strange events have taken place within the last two days, which have caused even mote excitement than the trance in which she lay for about six weeks in 1870. Early last week Miss Ross was so much worse than she had been 'for a long time that some of her relatives, despaired of her surviving much longer. On Sunday Miss Rose had an interview with a lady possessed of the gift of "faith healing." This lady commanded Miss Ross to rise' upon her feet, and strange to relate she was obeyed, and Miss Ross was able to rise and leave the bed on which she had lain for 16 years. This is all the 'more wonderful as Miss Ross has been for come time paralysed on one side. On Monday she was so far well as to be able to take a drive through the district, , Th^s has naturally ox,cited a great deal of - interest there, and whatever opinions may be 'formed regai.ding the event, the evidenced too strong 'to admit of any doubt of its occurrence. A • thanksgiving Bervice was held on Tuesday, v ' at Woodside, in connection with th^s wonderful recovery.
