. New York, Jur.e 23.?Out of the
r. West came a healer.
Into the very heart-of the blase
East. New York City, he came, his
ss:,: wonders to perform.
, * New Y'ork paused, stopped, looked,
rfV listened?and those who believed were
seien,ingly"Tiealed.
Men, women and childern?some
crippled, some blind, all sick in body
and mind?hundreds of them swarm
ed the spot where stood this man
- of God. First a hestiating movement
forward?then into a more eager effort
to get nearer to him?then into
a wild rush for the altar rail, some
crying hysterically, all pushing, shoving
and struggling?until it was nec-.
essary to dispatV1: ?. messenger and
call out police reserves-to restore order.
Cripples fainted, babes in arm
1 cried, mfen shouted, disorder prevailed.
It was finally necessary to suspend
the first healing services.
The Rev. Robert B. IL Bell, of Denver,
a lecturer in the .St. Thomas
Episcopal Church there, is the faith
healer from the West. He is a tall
man, 52 years old, with light brown
hair faintly streaked with gray. His
face is still boyish. From beneath
bushy light eyebrows peer keen deep
blue eyes.
D:\ Bell came into the East upon
invitation frcm the St. Paul Episcopal
Church of New York, made possible
through a foundation fund created
to conduct divine healing services,
every two years.
"I do not c!a>m the power of healing,"
says Dr. Bell. "I merely conduct
the services in which it is stressed
that God heals and that faith in
His curative powers will make well
again all who believe. Those who
would be cured must love everybody.
JLove their enemies and have frfith in j
the Lord Jesus Chrsit, and feel the .
love ho had if they would be healed." Not
only in New York City did Dr. '
Bell perform many seemingly mira- '
culpus cures but in West Orange, N. |
J., as well. The blind were made to ,
?and the lame lo walk-?by pray- ,
. er and the actual "laying cn of
