FAITH-HEALING.
ENTHUSIASM IN SOUTH AFRICA. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Capetown, Oct. 11. Unprecedented, scenes in connection with Hickson’s faith-healing mission are reported among the natives in the Transvaal. On one occasion, near Pietersbnrg, the missioner found himself confronted by an enormous crowd of over 10,000 natives. The sick were placed in long lines of a hundred 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 were reported and a tremendous impression was made. The opinion is expressed that the result may be a movement for which no branch of the Christian Church is prepared.
