Several
authentic cases of healing were brought before me at this place. One, Mrs.
Miller, who had been fearfully ill with diphtheria; so ill was she that both
speech and hearing were gone, and her throat was one white mass of disease.
Robert Pinkerton, who had been anointed with the Spirit, laid hands on her,
when

the pain
left her, the throat returned to its normal state again. Then she got up and
dressed herself, and went down to the Baptist Church, giving
thanks to God and mingling in the tongues with the others. All her disease
had instantly gone. A year ago, when I was taking the meetings for the
week-end at this Hall, the girl who played the organ for me told me she was
going out to Australia,
as she had consumption, and she said this would be her last day in the
church. I said I had been there too, and knew it well, and that there was a
splendid sanatorium at Echuka, on the banks of the Murray
River. After going out to Newcastle, seventy
miles above Sydney,
she grew worse and worse, and the doctors said to her father, “Take her home
to Scotland
again, as she is just dying here.” She arrived home at Kilsyth a week before
the outpouring took place. When it began she entered into it, weak as she
was, and received her Pentecost with the gift of tongues; but the most
marvellous thing was, all her consumption was taken out of her, and she is
simply transformed in body and soul, so that one can scarcely believe that
she is the same girl. AIl this is just as it should be. Other cases came
before me, of which I will write you again. To God be the praise!--(JOHN
MARTIN, 35. Airbles
Street, Motherwell.)
