20 Emmanuel Church Practices Laying On of Hands—Af- flicted Claim They Are Well. Toothache, stomach trouble, Dess, in fact all afflictions flesh is heir to is being the course of an evangelistic campaign at the Emmanuel Gospel church, ac- cording to statements being made by " members of that organization. The ! campaign is being conducted by Ed- ward J. Armstrong with the assistance of Rev. H. S. Landis, the local pas- tor and Rev. Michael Maietta, assist- ant pastor. “It is too late to tell me the days of miracles are over,” said Mr. Arm- strong last night. ‘“I've seen a few happen. ent tense God who is doing present tense miracles.” Speaking further of statements that the days of miracles have passed, Mr. Armstrong said,. “The world has not changed, these things are the same today as they ever were. Jesus did not stop with teaching and preach- ing, that’s where most of, our min- isters stop today. But he healed all manner of disease as well. It is very strange if the Lord does not want to heal all his people now, when ' he healed all there were when he was here. Where has he lost out? Has he gone out of business?” Seeing Is Believing. “We don't expect a man to be- lleve it until he sees the truth with his own eyes. The Lord is here to- night to do his office wark,” contin- ued Mr. Armstrong, at the same time inviting anyone troubled with organic trouble, blindness, deafness, disease, lameness, etc., to come forward and be healed. “If someone comes to the altar with just a little headache and we lay hands on them and they get . better, you don’t think much of it,” ‘" he said. Then he went on to tell of | a-marvelous “cure” he witnessed in | Indiana some time ago, when a wom- an who had been crippled with rheu- matism for years was “cured” instant- ly through prayer and the laying on of hands. A “It was the healing that gave the ' Lord Jesus Christ much unsought ad- vertising, the Lord has always been in the advertising business. Through- " out all the centuries God has been an advertiser,” ht sald. . __Following the sermon last night ‘about 150 people went forward and knelt down around the altar, in front . of geats, in the choir loft and where- ever they could find room, and the blind- human “cured” in unique “healing” ceremony began. Taking a scriptural passage that two . or more should assist in tie laying on of hands, the regular pastor or one of the deacons assisted the evan- Each applicant In turn was asked what his or her particular ailmen\ was and immediately followed the ‘laying on of hands, and the anoint- ing with olive oil. The so-called “cures” seem to ap- ' ply to most all the ills that flesh is | beir to. Mrs. Wilcox ot Hart street who was compelled by rheumatism and the | infirmities of old age to walk with crutches for the past seven or eight years, since these services, claims to have felt the divine power within and as a result is walking unalded. Another woman said she had stom- ‘ach trouble for years, physicians told her only an operation would save , knelt at the altar last night, re- etved the divine rites and announced %o the congregation that the pains had her and she felt better. An elder- 1y man who complained of stomach ulcers, announced after the ceremony that he felt better. Cured of Toothache.

Other Reportell Cases. A l6cal vvoman who was overcome by heat in Stratford some years ago and suffered from the effects ever since was cured of her weakness by the Emmanuel Gospel church’s min- istrations and now is as strong and robust as she ever was. She stated in an interview later that her son was stricken with a fever some time ago and Rev. M. 8. Anderson, found- er of the church, who died about a year ago, prayed for the boy and the fever immediately passed into oblivion. As Rev. Michael Maietta says, ‘“Just YOU know how hard it black, and shining—how a stove.
