A MODERN MIRACLE.

» Miraculous Cure of a Young Lady in Melbourne. Odk Melbourne correspondent writes : — A miraculous cure took place lately at Brunswick, one of our northern suburbs. I will give a short history of the occurrence, as it is one of the most startling on record. A young girl named Mulley — Maggie Mulley —had been an invalid since childhood. For ten years she had been bed-ridden, suffering from compound curvature of the spine, blindness, and deformed feet. She had been in four hospitals, and in each had been pronounced incurable. A more hopeless and pitiable case apparently never existed. Ktratfgs to say, however, being of a deeply religious turn, she took it into her head that God had promised to cute her. He would raise her up, she declared, and on the 23rd ol last month she asked her sister to prepare her some clothing. This was done to humour her, and then to the overwhelming astonishment of those about, she raised herself with very little assistance and sat up in bed. It was the first time she had done so for ten years. A moment after her sight came back, and she asked to be raised to her feet. On looking down her sister and mother were amazed to find the deformed feet were straightened. The girl stood, saw, and walked. So incredible is this story that if it were not lor the undeniable evidence of the four hospital records, the doctors who attended her, several charitable ladies who visited her, and her mother and sister, it would be beyond belief altogether. But it is beyond the shadow of a doubt that the girl was made whole again, and, as it were, instantaneously. Surely Divine providence is not banished altogether from this wicked world, when such a miracle can take place. Trust and faith, prayer and belief, are still efficacious instruments, even when human knowledge is powerless to help. Oi all the astouuding incidents of these times the wonderful' cure of poor Maggie Mulley is the most miraculous and the most aweinspiring.
