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.

I THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1887. 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."
