FAITH CURE.
MAORI CLAIMS DIVINE POWER. By T«!ejraph.—Press Association [. Wanganui, Nov 20. There has been considerable excitement amongst the Natives at Ratana, a Maori settlement near Turakina, where a prominent Native man of means claims to have performed marvellous cures through faith healing. Natives who came from all parts "of the Island returned home, discarding crutches, invalid chairs, etc., and apparently quite restored to health. The diseases he claims to have cured include rheumatic fever, blindness, paralysis, and asthma. The Native healer' 3 work is gratuitous, as he accepts no money for lis hospitality. He says God is using him for the benefit of his people, and that 1000 Maoris have been sent back to their homes benefited through the treatment, which consists of reading the Scripture and saying prayers. He says that the power of God alone enables him to accomplish what has been done.
