THE CHURCH OF GOD.
Scenes at a Camp Meeting When the
Deaf Heard and the Lame Walked
Fi'ott i the St. Ennis Globe-Democrat.
Seven miles northwest of Decatur, 111., at
a point called “Boiling Springs,” a great
religioue revival has just now been opened
under the auspices of the disciples of ‘-The
Church of God.” The moving spirit in this
work of snatching brands from the flres of
perdition is Mrs. Maria B. Woodworth, a
woman whose intense enthusiasm, eloquent
power of speech, and miraculous cures of
the physically afflicted have occasioned
more excitement among the people of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois than has over been
known. The testimony concerning her
doings in Urbana is certainly very astonish
ing. Her most extraordinary conversions
have been among those who" attended the
revival to laugh and scoff. For example,
she brought Lawyer Wright to his knees in
30 minutes after she began to work on his
conscience.
Mr. Wright hadn't been inside a church
for twenty-five years, and his motive for at
tending the revival was mainly to gratify
idle curio6itv—perhaps to enjoy himself.
Mrs. Woodworth had tieeu advised of his
coming, and when the rugged old counsellor
had seated himself she pointed her batteries
at him. She begged him as hard to confess
his sins ns if she were liogging him for life,
and when the old man began to get restless
she redoubled her efforts. Her magnetic in
fluence communicated itself mysteriously to
her entire audience, and in less time than it
rakes to write it down every one of her
hearers was on his knees calling piteously
upon Heaven to incline the sinful lawyer’s
thoughts to ward his soul’s salvation. After a
little the lawyer began to weep. Real
tears coursed their pellucid way to the end
of his nose and trickled down the furrows in
his cheeks. Then lie sprang to his feet, be
gan waving his arms over his head and
shouting with such a vigor that his sonor
ous voice rose clearly above the exultation
of the multitude. Such is the infection of
religious excitement that, as has been said,
within thirty minutes of the lawyers ap
pearance under the tent he was standing
upon the platform by the side of Mrs.
Woodworth, calling upon those within ‘'oar
shot” of his voice to oast aside the things of
the world and seek a place in the kingdom.
After two or three meetings, and when
the people had been worked up to a degree
of religious intensity, Mrs: Woodworth
began her ministrations among the sick, the
halt and the blind. Eye-witnesses, resi
dents of Urbana, describe the scenes which
took place as the personification of frenzy.
Whein the excitement was at its whitest
heat Mrs. Woodworth seemed übiquitous.
One moment she would face her shrieking
auditors from the platform, wringing her
hands, screaming to God for mercy in a
voice that sounded high and shrill above the
wailings of her congregatipn; the npxt,
prostrate upon her face, tearing her hair
and writhing in her imaginary embrace
of some demon from below; then
flying about among the people,
encouraging, arguing, commanding them
to help her drive the fiend from
their midst, again upon the stage, stamping
her feet tragically upon the imaginary form
of the “Old Boy” himself, and then, as tho
great climax to her exhausting efforts,
shrieking “victory!” at tho full power of
her lungs. In the midst of pandemonium
thus engendered she would call upon the
afflicted to come forward and be healed,
and with each demonstration of her certain
ly inexplicable power the enthusiasm would
break out anew, and men and women, over
come by their overwrought emotions,
would hurl themselves upon the ground,
bewailing their sins and invoking God to
spare them from the endless torments of
hell.
Under such circumstances Farmer Grover,
of Warrensburg, was led to the altar. He
had been deaf as a post for twenty-five
years, and suffered from a pain in his back,
caused by a fall from his horse that almost
bent him double. There was no mistaking
the physical agony in the old man’s face.
It was the agony of grim despair. There
was a moment of hush, painful in its sud
denness, as the revivalist stepped forward
with a quick, nervous movement and placet 1
her hand upon the sufferer’s head. Then
she rubbed his ears and cried out at the top
ot her voice, “Brother, you are deaf no
longer. ”
The old man looked up, and a strange
light shot from his aged eyes.
"Do you not hoar me (’’shrieked tho woman,
“I tell you you are cured!”
“Yes, I hear you,” replied the old man,
“but you needn’t yell at me that way. I
thought you were going to take the pain out
of my back.”
Mrs. Woodworth, her face aglow with
excitement, put her hands upon the old
man’s spihe. and calling upon the Lord to
help her, commanded him to stand erect.
Then followed a moment of nerve-strain
ing intensity, as the old man raised himself
slowly to the perpendicular.
“The pain has left youl” shouted the
Woman.
“As God lives it has!” cried the old man,
and he leaped into the air with an exultant
whoop that touched as with an electric
spark the pent up enthusiasm of the specta
tors. No whirlwind in all its unbridled fury
could have surpassed the storm of voices
that followed this marvellous manifesta
tion of power. The old man was the live
liest of the lot, and sprang over benches,
•lapping his withered hands.
“Don’t imagine I did it,” shouted the re
vivalist, when the excitement had in a
measure abated. “It was the Lord’s work,
and you must give all tho glory to him ?”
At the next meeting a Mrs. Harris, of Ur
!>ana, was carried into the tent. She had
been a helpless paralytic for twenty years.
They placed her emaciated form on a cot
before tho rail, and the scenes already de
scribed wore repeated.
“The success of this crucial test should
convince you all,” said the revivalist, “that
God’s power is present among you.”
She then approached the oot, and laid
her hands upon tho body of the helpless suf
ferer.
“Do you believe in God!” she asked.
“I do,” came faintly from the half-closed
lips.
“And if God assumos your malady will
you devote your remaining years of life to
his holy service?”
“I will,” replied tho sufferer.
“Then, in God’s name, get up and walk!”
cried tho revivalist, lifting up her hands and
falling upon her knees.
Amid breathless silence and what seemed
an eternity of suspense, the woman slowly
raised her hoad, and then nut it buck on the
pillow, as though doubtful of her power to
move it farther.
"The Lord of Heaven commands you to
rise!” cried tho evangelist, her eyes dis
t'uded with nervous anticipation auil beads
of perspiration standing upon her forehead.
Mrs. Hargis raised her • head again,
then putting out her hands caught hold of
the sides of tho cot and raised herself to a
sitting posture. She stared about her wild
ly for a moment, and then, as though un
conscious of what she was doing, put her
leet on the floor arid stood erect lieforo tho
multitude. The people surgisl forward to
convince themselves of the thoroughness of
the cure, hut tho revivalist, her enthusiasm
breaking out anew, lifted the woman in her
arms and bore her in triumph to the plat
form. where silo placed her again upon her
feet.
"Now help mo to convert these people to
God’s banner,” said she, “and let them see
that you are grateful to the Almighty for
the great good lie has just done you."
It a surprise were possible after the mar
vel just witnessed, it was ceitaiuly pro
vided by the outburst of eloquence with
which Mrs. Harris began an appeal in be
bnlf of religion. Persons of culture in the
audience said they had never listened to
ssntimeiiU more elevuting expressed with
such wealth of word ciToriug. And this
from n w oman who hud been helpless from
''hildboad, whose mind must have shared
•he paralysis of her body, and who had ear
bilnly navel luouirt-d more than tho mean
'■** rudiment* of learning. And yet,>srrisd
uwuy with tins inspiration of her theme,
while tears of gratitude for her deliverance
l***ed copiously down her tdweke, the
awakened anew the fervor of the audience,
while the revivalist stood aside, regarding
her with an expression of seraphic satisfac
tion. Mis. Harris returned to her home
completely restored to health and vigor, j
and gave proof of her condition on Wed
nesday last, by doing a good day’s washing
and ironing.
Under like conditions a woman was cured
of cancer of the breast at the next meeting.
A huge tumor had grown around the sore,
and physicians had long before confessed
their inability to cop*' with the disease.
Surrendered by science todeath, the woman
had made all her arrangements for tho
grave, even to tho selection of her shroud
and coffin and the purchase of a burial
plot. She was induced, with difficulty, to
attend Mrs. Woodworth’s revival, and
while there, it is claimed, the religious tire
found its way into her heart. She was
among those who worked their way to tho
altar, and while kneeling there the atten
tion of Mrs. Woodworth was directed to her
condition.
‘‘Will you promise me never to take any
more medicine, except what tho Lord is
about to give youi” asked the revivalist, as
she approached the prostrate sufferer.
“I will,” was the reply.
“Then, as I place my hand upon your
breast, pray to God that he may free you
from this awful scourge."
So saying the revivalist undid the top
buttons of the woman’s dress, exposing to
those within range the horrihlo cancer that
was slowing eating its way into the
woman’s luugs, and fearlessly placed her
hand over the loathsome sore.
“God be praised!” shouted the revivalist,
“I feel it going! See!” she cried, “the lump
has already grown less, and now—now it
has disappeared, and the cancer is healed
forever 1”
She drew away her hand, and the woman
rose to her feet, and all around her con
vinced themselves that tho cancer had dis
appeard. Dr. Fugit, of Urbana, who had
attended the woman and gave up her case
as hopeless, proclaimed the completeness of
the cure, which, he claimed, was nothing
short of the miraculous. That the daily re
currence of feats such as these should have
turned Urbana well nigh topsy-turvy it is
not difficult to comprehend, and it is equal
ly reasonable to believe that the town and
tire country around it are still stirred up
over the advent of this modern wonder.
The arrival already begun under the white
oaks near Rolling Springs is likely to equal
the one just concluded, and as the fame of
Mrs. Woodworth has proceeded her the
afflicted in body as well as the weary of
heart are beginning their pilgrimages to
her forest shrine.
Mrs. Woodworth is a spry, every-day sort
of body, with a good face and fine blue
eyes that fairly speak with enthusiasm.
While she is not an educated woman in the
literal sense, she has evidently read a great
deal thut was worth reading, and her com
mand of language is certainly phenomenal.
She talks steadily and earnestly, the words
flowing from her tongue with perfect free
dom. There is nothing in her manner that
suggests cant, while there is much that im
presses one with her possession of strong
magnetic force, the best uses of which
she seems thoroughly to understand. She
is of medium height, rather slender, but
evidently a woman of strong constitution
and vigorous frame. Her movements are
quick, graceful and wiry, and she has a
habit of walking right up to you and look
ing into your eyes as though she were read
ing your vory soul. Her forehead is lofty,
and is prominent in the regions of ideality
and veneration. Of her voice, which,while
naturally soft and musical, lias grown a
trifle hard through the severe tests to which
her religious fervor puts it, she seems to
have almost perfect control, and from the
highest pitch she can modulate it surpris
ingly when effect demands it.
THREE WIDOWS TO WIFE.
A Scandalous Story About a Member
of Parliament and his Step-Daughter.
From the New York Sun.
London, Sept. 10. — In the regular course
of unpleasant news I have a story to relate,
which, if they should chance to see it, would
give to the night birds of Trafalgar Square
a chance to turn the tables and look down,
for a change, upon one of the class which
So steadily look down on them. Col. Hughes
Hallett is the gentleman with whom the
story deals. He is a member of Parliament,
and as such was one of tluxse most active in
advocating the strongest doercive measures.
His seat in the House has been vacant a few
days, and his fellow members have discussed
a queer story about its occupant.
Hallett is a handsome chap, aged 48 years,
of the dashing, military style, and the ad
vice of the elder Weller has been thrown
away upon him. Hallett, far from being
wary of widows, has married three of them
at different times. Each of the widows of
his choice was well provided with worldly
goods, and his latest, besides wealth, had a
lovely daughter still in her teens. The
shameful story is that Hallett allowed him
self to become enamored of his step-daugh
ter, disgraced himself, ruined her, and has
perhaps added one to the blighted careers
of thh Sir Charles Dilke order. It is diffi
cult to see how the Colonel's conduct can
lie condoned, or the matter hushed up, for
the case was of the most open sort,
known to tho servants and to all of his
friends, and must soon become the property
of other than the House' of Commons gossips
here. Col. Hallet’s servants had seen their
master, who occupies a room apart from his
wife, enter the chamber of his step-daugh
ter, and Mrs. Hughes Hallett had been at
once informed. A number of mole rela
tives were staying in the house. These were
called upon by the indignant wife. The
girl’s door was broken in, and the man’s
guilt established before all those numerous
witnesses. The scene made by the outraged
wife and mother is reported, and will easily
be believed to have been something un
usually wild.
Th add to his troubles, a fire-eating male
relativo of Mrs. Hughes-Hallett has taken
up the matter. He says that blood alone
can wipe out the stain upon the family
name, and demands a duel. Hallett, ren
dered desperate by his family trouble, is de
clared by bis acquaintances to have ac
cepted the challenge, und to havo started
off to fight the matter out. It is certain
that both the men are now on the Conti
nent. There is a rumor that other reasons
beyond a desire to fight or to avoid meet
ing his friends, and which are highly dis
creditable to the Colonel, may have in
fluenced him in leaving the country, hut
the facts alleged are not yet fully proven.
Hallett represents Rochester in the House of
Commons. He has fought in India, and now
commands tho second brigade of the Mouth
ern Division. Royal Artiflery. He is also
director in that rather dubious institution,
tho American Exhibition, so-called. He has
distinguished himself by sitting in the pres
ence of the Queen, in Buffalo Bill’s Dead
wood stage coach, while the coach is drawn
by mules and pursued by yelling, firearm
discharging tamo Indians. Hallett has also
distinguished himself by cultivating with
ardor tho acquaintance of Buffalo Bill,
whom he has entertained in the House of
Commons and elsewhere. In addition to
his other qualities Hallet is a man of Rome
presence, and shines bv his talent for recit
ing love poems to select drawing-room par
ties. Tho public will probably hear a good
ileal more about the gentleman before long.

DRINKS OF POPULAR PEOPLE.
Cups that Have Cheered Rulers,
Writers and Actors or Note.
From the London Telegraph.
Perhaps one might theorize about char
acter from favorite drinks as much as from
“palmistry’’ or handwriting. Let us see;
Napoleon had the heart, if ever a man had,
of a despot. He drank strong black coffee,
the Sultan’s drink, and Chambortin, the rich
wine of princess, Cromwell and George of
Clarence were both ambitious, with very
opposite endings. Both loved Mumsev,
which, tradition asserts, drowned the latter
in the Jewel Tower. Richelieu, the cold,
crafty, calculating cardinal, loved the thin
red wine of Medoc.
The magnificent and high-spirited mon
arch, Henry VIII. and Francis of France,
loved what Fallstaif holds to be so inspirit
ing—namely, "a good sherris sack." Ed
mund Kean's erratic magnificent genius and
mad career were nourished on brandy,
which was, indeed, life to the unhappy
tragedian. Dogun tells us that after his re
turn, utterly broken, in 1827, only Constant
glasses of “brown brandy, very hot and
very strong,” enabled him to get through
his scenes. Addison's polished, equable
essays were written on moderate potations
of excellent claret. Charles Lamb, most
perennially charming of essayists, was a
thorough Londoner ip heart, and his favor
ite drink was genuine London porter. Pitt
and Eldon, who represented the older order
of things, both loved port, of which the
Chancellor could drink three bottles.
Peter the Great was a genius and equally
a barbarian, with a fiery temper and un
bridled will. We are not surprised, speak
ing as theorists, to find that his favorite
beverage was brandy with pepper. King
John was an unbridled and fiercely cruel
tyrant. And if; as G. R. Sims says in one
of his stories, a man’s disordered liver cau
make him a fiend, what wonder? For King
John loved draughts of new ale, a surfeit of
which, with peaches, is supposed to have
led to his death Dr. Johnson was a strange
mixture of toryism of the ancient eighteenth
century school-broad and many-lined
knowledge and goodness of heart ana life —
and great nervousness. He loved, in
moderation, pjjnch and port wine, and, by
his own description, was “a hardened and
shameless tea drinker, whose kettle had
seldom time to cool.” One cannot
theorize about Porson, the famous
Greek scholar, who, it is said,
could “cap” from memory any line quoted
from the throe Greek tragedians, JEschuy
lus, Sophocles or Euripides, for he drank
anything. Indeed, it is said, in a lady’s ab
sence with the keys, he vowed, much to
her husband’s annoyanee, that she had a
private bottle of spirits, and rummaging
about, found one, still more to his friend’s
annoyance, of which he drank the contents.
He left on the lady’s return. Her husband
having mentioned this in a vexed manner,
she said, “Good Heavens! It was the bottle
of spirits for the lamp.” Sir Astley Cooper,
the great surgeon (who in 1815 received
during the various months of the year
£21,000 in fees), and who, slaving at his
profession twelve hours daily, said Tie could
digest anything hut “sawdust,” drank two
tumblers of water at dinner and two glasses
—never exceeding them —of port wine after
ward. Talleyrand’s cold and dissimulating
nature was summed up in his advice to his
subordinates, “Above nil, no zeul!” His
favorite potation was claret in moderate
glasses. Henri Quatre, France’s favorite
monarch, whose chivalrous memory even
the fierce republican mobs of 1792 at first
respected, loved the wines of Surennes, and
never, as a rule, drank anything else.
Byron was fond of two very different pota
tions, which, perhaps, one might fancifully
say, were typical of his two styles of poet
ry —one was hock and soda water, then a
very new beverage in England; the other
was gin and water. -Frederick the Great,
like a good many other persons, had a par
ticular affection for Tokao. Peter the
Great thought Madeira the best of wines,
but regarded brandy superior to all other
drinks. Rubens had the strange taste to
esteem Marsala the finest of wines.
MIND CUBE FOB A POODLE.
How a ‘ Christian Healer” Treats Man
and Beast.
Detroit Correspondence of the Poston Globe.
Walking down John R. street I sawstatid
ing before the door of a low- wooden house
the carriage of one of Detroit's wealthiest
citizens. The driver was flicking his lash
at the leaves on a tree above his head.
Suddenly the house door opened and out
darted a petite figure clad entirely in black.
Her usually pale face was flushed with ex
citement, and in her arms she carried a
poodle.
“You’ll have to open the door for me,
John,” she said to the stolid coachman.
John stretched his arm around stiffly and
opened the carriage door. Tho young lady
placed the dog carefully on the front
cushions, and then entered and closed the
door. •
“Drive slowly, John,” she enjoined, and
at a funeral pace the carriage rolled away
down the street.
The house from which the lady in black
had come was occupied by a “Christian
healer.” In response to iny ring a servant
came to the door, and when I asked to see
A. M. Knott (that was the name on the
sign) I was ushered into a cozy sitting-room.
Presently a little woman with a bright face,
a self-possessed air and extremely neat and
well-fitting dress entered.
“My business is increasing all the time,”
she said. It is largely among the educated
people. The uneducated do not seem readily
to grasp our system. I have many ladies
of fashion among my patient*. ”
“And just what is your system ?”
“Do you mean to ask me to give awav my
secret V' she asked with a laugh. “Well,
there is really no secret to it. We believe
that disease is negation —life is positive.
There is no need of disease if one can keep
the harmony between the organism and the
environment. Herliert Spencer will tell you
that. Now, we believe that God is the great
life-giver, and we are simply the medium—
I hate that word, for it is confused with
spiritualism —through which tho harmony
is restored between the source of life and tho
patient.”
“Cun you extend your uid to animals V'
“Certainly. Why not ? Ladies bring me
their {lets when they are jammed in doors
or otherwise hurt, and I can ease their pain.
There is no reason why the .life principal
should not be increased in animals as well
as in men and women. I had a case a while
ago. A lady brought me her kitten. It had
two of its legs broken by being caught in a
closing door. The lady feit very badly
about it, for the little thing was in great
pain. My sister sold, ‘Let us get some
chloroform and kill, the poor pussy. But I
do not believe in taking any kind of life,
and 1 said I would try and see what I could
do. Boon the pain ceased and the lauy
went away happy. I understand that the
kitten was completely cured.”
“Just how do vou work!”
“We simply sit by tho bedside, and by
the use of mental effort mid thought trails
ference, cure tho patient. Thoro is nothing
physical about it. We pretend to no clair
voyance, but of course there is more or loss
mind reading.”
“Does such work lower your own vital
ity 1”
“By no means. On tho contrary, it in
creases it. If we allow ourselves to liecome
excited or to worry over our patients, then
it would be long /tnd hard work to effect
cures, but we keep our minds calm and all
goes well.”
"Be wise to-day. ’tis mail new to defer.”
Don't neglect your coughs. If you do, your
fate may be that of the countless thousands
who have done likewise, and who to-day till
consumptives' graves. Night-sweats, spit
ting of blood, weak lungs, and <-otwunipti<ni
itself, if taken in time, can be cured by the
use of Dr. Piereo's "Golden Medical Discov
ery." This wonderful preparation has no
equal as a rented) for lung and throat, dis
