The Jwife of Rer. Bloyd, who had been sick in bed for some weeks and whose disease was prooounced by her physicians to be cancer, and incurable, suddenly arose from her bed and wont to the church where they were praying for fear, and led in the prayer meeting. It W'as pronounced to be one of those wpnderful cases of cure by prayer that have been-reported from different parts of the country, but Dr. BnoWden, one of her physicians, who was interview ed regarding the matter thinks "it is all bosh." - He nays he was called to ■M Mrs. Bloyd some time ago, and after a thorough examination of her ailments, said that she could not be cured, that she was afflicted with one of those peculiarly distressing cancers that are incurable and that patients suffering from one of these cancers usually lire from eighteen months to two years, and that during that time they will bare many weak spells and •gain they will revive till they appear In almost their usual health. Mrs Bloyd is a woman of a peculiar nervous and hysterical disposition, and there was nothing in her case that would prevent her, uuder some extraordinary excitement, be it religious pr any oth er kind, from getting up out of bod, dressing herself and walking a mile or so. There is nothing surprising or su pernatural to me about it, for it is the qatural course of the disease. At times its victims will be very low and then they will rapidly recover to ap parent health and strength, but as a matter of course such recoveries are only temporary, lasting for a greater or less period of time, owing to the condition of the patient. • "Then, Doctor, asked the fintervicw er, you think there is no reason why in the next eighteen or twenty months there could not l>e a score of just such r 'miracles' worked on the same subject ?" "There will be, very likely, a num ber of just such recoveries before the ..disease accomplishes its final work," said the Doctor. —Go to J. P. Orr's photograph gaMery and set for one of those fine Xtbiopt p.yturt-8 be is now turn Log out. Chrißtniu. The new faith and the new hope that the Babe ol Bethlehem brought to a world whose culture was a mere gilding on a framework of barbarism, was the foundation of all that makes man to-day, and is the only real strength by which civilization holds its own against the forces that seek to retard it or to destroy the monuments marking its progress. Straight as the road that ran from Home to the north ern wilderness, ptust morasses in which it did not siuk and over hills that could\ot prevent its advance, the path of Clristiau endeavor and Christian conquest runs from the manger in S3fia to the very centre of Nineteenth centurv enlightenment and life. The Dark Ages, the persecutions, the agony, and the wars that have left their marks upon this '"highway of a king" are lorgotten now, or live only as moral encouragements to this age in perfecting that which was so nobly commenced in ages when liberty of soul meant imprisonment or d'-ath for the body. No wonder, then, that the holie3t holiday in all the year is built upon the day when tLe Beginning of all this greatness found a being. No wonder then, that for a brief season, all men— whether believing Christ divine or human yield to His influence, and in forgetting self for others, reap the only real happiness of this life—that of making others happy. Many of our store keepers have made special preparations for this sea son and for the benefit of those whose I tim»* for shopping is limited, we make | the following notes of their wares, suitable for presents: Mr. Adam Troutman's large store room is full of goods suitable for pres -1 ents, such as silk haudkerchiefs, hoods, scarfs, luces, cloaks, dolmans, gloves, hosiery, etc. There is no more ap propriate Christmas present than a handsome dress pattern, and you will find Mr. Trootmau'B Btock all that can be desired both as to quality and price.
