time, not too long past, when most of us thought of fellowship as the pleasant associations we enjoyed with those who believed exactly as we, belonged to our same organization, and said Shibboleth just as we had been taught to say i t . . . and toward those on the outside of our religious circle we held a sort of acrimonious tolerance, wondering how God could fellowship them when we didnt, or maybe not even admitting that He did.

Unity of the heart is so much more satisfying than unity of the head. Isnt it wonderful that we have lived to see this glorious day, after 40 years in the wilderness of organizational barricades?

After a day of business sessions with the evangelists and associate editors, the conven. tion proper was opened in Tulsas Convention Hall at 10 A. M., with a splendid crowd of about 1500, an unusual turn-out for the first service of a convention. Editor GORDON LINDSAYS opening remarks emphasized that the purpose of this assemblage was not to form another organization, or to discount existing organizations, or t o fuse them, but to be a liaison between all. He continued: When God was looking for a man to spear-head this revival, he didnt choose a brilliant man or a college professor who would be smart enough t o start something for himself; He looked in the hills of Kentulky and found a humble, unassuming person, an uncolored type of John the Baptist, who in his simple, unlettered manner knew only to preach the Gospel and obey Gods orders, seeking favor with no man. Our Brother Jack Moore found him, and recognizing the unusual anointing of God upon him, and feeling that he should not be restricted to any one group, flew to Oregon and let me in on this unique ministry. Bro. Jack Moore and I, though representing different groups, had been close friends for 18 years, often dreaming and talking of finding something that would be a touchstone for the unity of the widely-divided Pentecostal gioups. We , both recognized this to be what we had prayed for and set out to establish this Voice of Healing fellowship, beginning the magazine as a medium of publiciz-. ing the ministry of this brother of whom

war, and the miracles of healing that accompanied that revival. Preachers who had been sent there by mission groups in America had been taught that the days of miracles were over, but God refuted that by performing every kind of miracle before their astonished faces, even though there was no one to hold healing services. Could it be that the present spiritual awakening in America will precede a fate like that of Korea? He referred, in closing, to his recent trip to Europe with the Branham Party. The closer they got to the Iron Curtain, he said, the less they heard about denominationalism. Besides the main speakers, the testimonies and exultations of various evangelists were interspersed throughout the three days. On this first morning, Evang. STANLEY KAROL told how only two years ago, when he was a physical wreck, although he had been opposed to the healing revivals, he saw what God was doing through Rev. R. R. VINYARD. He said, My spiritual pride gone, my theology riddled, I went in his healing line, not caring what he did, just so I regained my lost health. God perfectly healed me of every malady, and today Im t y t preaching this same Gospel of deliverance. T h e main speaker, H. E. HARDT, brought up the many hobby horses we had used in the pursuit of revival and filling our churches before we found the ministry of deliverance to be the right way. Wildly-calculated sermons on the Anti-Christ, musical carnivals, and child preachers: were named, which were all good in their day, but this is the hour of deliverance, and no other message will suffice. He stated that in his meetings, around 50 per cent of the people are healed in their seats, on the strength of faith in the preached Word. Bro. W. V. G R A N T spiced the day with a rich message on the text, Lord, teach me to pray. This humble brother left a mighty impression upon that large audience. Before he finished, we were all sure that his authority on the subject stemmed from a devout, prayerful life of his own. H e related how that about four years ago he was pastoring a small, struggling -church in Louisiana, when he heard of a healing meeting going on in Shreveport. Lots of preachers were fightivg the

Wednesday, Dec. 12
The second morning was a time of schooling when, as Paul sat at the feet of Gadaliel of old to\ be taught in the traditions of the law, we sat at the feet of two honored fathers of Pentecost: first, Bro. HAROLD HORTON, then DAVID du PLESSIS. Here are a few reflections gleaned from the many lines of thought that morning: Full Gospel fellowship is not something we are trying to create; it is but a recognitioiz of what God has already created. W e will never be agreed on doctrines This is not founded on doctrine, but on experience. What y e believe doesnt make us Pentecostal, but what we have received. Other denominations are built on traditions, doctrinal arguments, abilities of leaders, etc., but the. Pentecostal movement can only trace its origin to the foundation of experience. Some parts of the body d o -not fit well together, nor work side by side, but they belong to the body. My nose and toes arent very close, but they both are part of me. Thus with the Body of Christ. Speaking in the afternoon, Rev. R. R. VINYARD brought a dynamic message on the

Hgly Ghost. A mighty sermon came from the fleet tongue of VELMER GARDNER. I quote a few excerpts from this message: Before this ministry came, I had lots of theory but little faith. I didnt have enough faith to cast devils out, so I just threw them out (man and devilboth.) But Ive always believed God ,would send a great revival in the last days-He wouldnt start a church in power and then not have enough power to keep it going. He lead a big bunch of people through the wilderness 40 years, without doctors, nurses, hospitals, drugstores, aspirins, vitamins, penicillin, VicksVaporub or Hadacol, and there was not one feeble one among them. God is the same today. Bro. Gardner concluded by relating how that when those apostles of Divine Healing, Price and Wigglesworth died in the same week, he went down before God in sorrow and desperation, feeling that there were so many sick and afflicted, and now the men that could help them were dead. God spoke that though they were dead, their God still lived; and the same year Wm. Branham, Oral Roberts, and others were raised u p with great healing ministries. , In the evening meeting, an audience of around 2800 people enjoyed the inimitable style of Bro. JACK COE, whose message climaxed a full day of wonderful things from God. Both amusing and touching was his narration of how as a poor orphan boy he slipped out of a Tulsa Childrens Home to come to this very auditorium to hear RAYMOND T. RICHEY, also how when he was in the Army he went AWOL t o be in a Richey meeting, and Sister Richey sent him back t o camp. He ielated many interesting experiences of his life which added a colorful touch to his sermon, and the day ended with a mass healing service, in which all of the Voice of Healing evangelists ministered to hundreds.

THE PRICEDF FELLOWSHIP

He who desires the fellowship of Gods people must labor diligently for it. He who sets himself up as the source or fountain of Gods blessing w i l l not draw the admiration of others but only their suspicion. Spirit-filled people who differ widely on ceqtain doctrinal inter-. d pretcrtions may still enjoy close fellowship if they do not insist on making an -issue of their differences. Those who do will find that others in self-defense will shut their doors to them. Alas, it is often the symptoms of the sectarian that after he has made himself obnoxious. he will bitterly blamf others for refusing him fellowship. In considering the matter of fellowship, we are, of course, speaking of the people who believe in the Spiritfilled lie. For it is the Spirit that baptizes us into one body-the Body of Christ. ( I Cor. 12:13) We believe that there is a true basis of fellowship among all of those who are members of the Body of Christ. But this unity of heart and mind will not happen by accident: it must be striven for. Before Paul declared the words, There is one Body, he enjoined believers that, With all lowli; ness and meekness. with long !seering, forbearing one another in Iove: endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Eph. 4:2-4)

A study of the first thirteen verses of Ephesians 4, shows that the gifts given by Christ unto men were for the work of perfecting the saints. and eventually to bring all into. the unity of faith.

ECAUSE of the increasing significance of THE VOICE OF HEALING in the Christian world, we find that its responsibility to the Church has materially increased. To thos6 meetings which are advertised in its pages, people travel for hundreds of miles. I t is therefore important that such ministries come up to certain standards which are perhaps unusually rigid. It has ttierefore been decided by the Associate Directors, t h a t in the future, those who come into the magkzines fellowship, shall enter by invitation rather than by application. Those who are interested in this fellowship should therefore seek acquaintance with one or more of the associate editors. Through them recommendation will be made to TVH. Qualifications for fellowship in TVH include first, a definitely mature healing ministry. Second, a character above reproach. Third, a willingness to cooperate in the policy and purposes of TVH. I t must not be assumed that because a ministers name is not currently included in the TVH directory that he .does not have a qualified healing ministry.

BIBLE HEALING HOUR RADIO SCHEDULE (Rev. .W. B. McKay

It was a rare privilege to attend the VinyardKarol Campaign in Elmira, New York. I have been a Methodist Pastor for nearly twenty-five years, with three and a half years in the service during World War I1 as a Chaplain; but this type of ministry was new to me. I came to the Healing Campaign to study it objectively; but it became very personal. Both preachers presented the Word of God with power and conviction. What God had promised in His Word was clearly stated. The sinful and the sic2 were given the Bible ground for faith. Those who wanted to be saved were invited, dealt with, and directed to the prayer tent where personal workers helped them. The sick who had attended the instruction meeting in the afternoon, and read Gordon Lindsays book, Bible Days Are Here Again, were invited to join the healing line. Then, through faith and prayer Brother Vinyard ministered to them. Many persons in this campaign were saved, filled with the Holy Ghost and spake with tongues as the Spirit gave them words to utter. Cripples were healed and left their wa!king aids on the platform. Cancers, goiters, ulcers, anhritis, deafness, etc., were, healed through faith and prayer. The Christian people were marvelously helped by the messages presented during this

T H E VOICE O F HEALING

February, 1952

Perhaps you, .too, have been confused about Prophecy and the laying on of hands. This article is for you.
QUESTION The Gifts of the Spirit, and the use of tbem have me confused I was prophesied over in d town several miles from here, by a man I had never seen before he prophesied that I had the gift of miracles in my right arm , What shdl I do with the gift.7 Often, when I have ofiportunity and feel the anointing, Z lay hands on people, but as yet, to my knowledge, I cannot say that miracles have haplppened. I felt led to pray for a little boy burned with electricity, that no skin grafts would be necessary, and my husband and I both wme satisfied that all was well, but now I have heard that the grafts have had t o be made. It makes me.fearfulthat I dont understand Gods lkading. V. Y., Springfield, Oregon (This letter is typical of many inquiries on the subject.)

W e have held 6ack the CmswerSng of this question and others of similar import for some time, wanting to be sure it was Gods tirqe to publish the answer. At the Tulsa convention, our associates unanimously requested that we make a statement on this matter. W e are therefore complying with their request.

. .. . ..

..

his receiving the Holy Spirit, there was a time in which he proved himself. There w?! a period of preparation, of fasting, of waiting on God, of learning to work with the church, before the Holy Spirit spoke and requested that Paul and Barnabas be set apart for a chosen ,work. Then hands were laid upon them, and they were sent away. (Acts 13:l-3.) Timothy, who was a convert of Paul, sat under his ministry, and no doubt assisted the apostle for a considerable period. Paul knew all about him, about his mother, and about his grandmother. (I1 Tim. 15.) The apostle implies quite strongly in VQse 6 that it was Timothys background of, faith that gave him confidence in his ministry and he says, Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir. up the gift of God, which is in thee by putting on of my hands. (yerse 6.) There definitely must be a heart preparation for the proper use of any gift of the Holy Ghost. Such a thing as the indiscriminate giving out of gifts is to be discouraged. There are, of course, certain types of individuals who enjoy being told that they have one, or two, or all nine Gifts of the Spirit. W e find these individuals coming to us in h o s t every campaign, who have no evidence to show that they have these gifts. Proverbs 25:14 declares, Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and .wind without rain. One does not have to lay daim to Gifts, people soon recognize them when they are in action. The doctrine of indiscriminate giving of Gifts of the Spirit is wrong for several reasons. In the first place, the Gifts are given as the Holy Ghost wills, not as man wills. ( 1 Cor. 12:ll.) In the second place, an earnkt coveting of the Gift by the recipient is a prerequisite for receiving them as shown ih I Cor. 1 2 5 1 . The third reason is found in the chapter which follows. (I Cor. 13.) The love of God must fill the heart of the individual who possesses any Gifts of the Spirit, else even if he have faith so that he could remove mountains, the Gift profiteth nothing; and he is as a tinkling cymbal. , It is a law of the spiritual worid, that the presence of Gods power is in direct proportion as men have opened theirheart t o the Lord in longings of the soul, in prayer, in fastings, in waiting before God. Even with Christ was this true. On one occasion, unbelieving P h ar i sees from every part of the country gathered to hear Jesus, looking for opportunity to challenge His ministry. Yet, in spite of all this opposition, the record declares, the power of the Lord was present to heal. Is it not significant in this connection, that the previous verse declares that Jesus had just. come from the wilderness where H e had spent long hours in prayer? (Luke 515-16.) It was after Moses had been forty days and nights with God that his face shone with the,glory of God. (Exodus 34:29.) The apostles were told to tarry until they be endued with power from on high. (Luke 24:49.) Of course, tarrying is not enough; there must be a bold appropriating faith also. 0

who should also receive of the Spirit. (Verses 16-17.) N o w here is the significant thing: these men, so far as w& know, had made little, if any, special preparation to receive of heavens blessings, and therefore they received apparently only a part of Moses anointing. God said, I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and I will put it upon them. (Verse 17.) This is a highly significant statement. God ministers the Spirit according to irrevocable laws: In this particular case, there were more people who had received of the Spirit, but the total amount of the Spirit was no more than, had been upon Moses! Nevertheless, any ministry of the Spirit is not to be deprecated. The Seventy Elders prophesied and did not cease. (Verse 25.) Joshua, jealous for Moses, forbade them, but the wiser Moses would not have it that way. H e replied, Would God that all the Lords people were prophets, and that the Lord would put His spirit upon them! (Verse 29.) Four iessons are manifest. First, the potential illimitableness of an anointing received directly from God. Second, the limitations of an anointing received through the faith of another. Third, that we, as Moses, should thank God for all manifestations of the Spirit. Fourth, though Moses might desire all of Gods people to prophesy, yet God restricted the ministry to those H e chose, casting aside the human organization advised by his father-in-law, and set u p as recorded in Exodus 18:19-22. Every minister associated with TVH, has this testimony that his ministry has come directly from God. There was a waiting upon God, there were tears of compassion for the lost and suffering. There were days of prayer and fasting. There was the hour when they saw the vision of a lost world. They thank God for inspiration they have received from others. They thank God for the blessings received through the ministering of others. But it. was God Himself W h o gave them their ministry. When they received it from Him, they did not have to look to man to make it work. Let us despise no ministry, however imperfect, that God has given. Let us rejoice in revival wherever it comes. But the day fdr the exaltation of man is over. There is no need for any man to set himself apart and declare he has something new, and that you or I must go to him. W e declare that God haa plenty for all, and H e desires that Christ alone will be magnified in the eyes of His peopla of the matter of laying on of hands; nor to o9erlook the fact that God has blessed them with heaven-sent revivals. But it is to be regretted that some who have been blessed df God should place such unnecessary emphasis on this or, for that matter, any other particular issue, that they should separate themselves from the main body of Spirit-filled people just at the time when God is moving to bring all those who believe in the fullness of the Spirit into unity, in preparation for His sodn coming. Let us set aside unnecessary issues and labor for the unity of the people of God.
to impugn those who take a more liberal view

ANSWER It is a tragic mistake to lead any person away from the simple statements of the Word, so that they look to feelings of any kind. This is not toIsay that the Gifts of God will not have various manifestations that would involve such phenomena. There are diversities of Gifts -there are differences of administrations there are diversities of operations. (I Cor. 12:4-6.) People were healed by the angels troubling of the water (John 5:4), by touching the hem of the garment of Christ (Matt. 14:36), by getting into Peters shadow (Acts 5:15), through cloths that had touched the body of Paul (Acts 19:ll-12). H e who says that God cannot or does not work in such various ways, is ignorant of the Scriptures. However the man who really has a gift in his right hand. or otherwise, wont have to ask people how to make it work! Actually, teaching concerning the Gifts of the Spirit must be placed solidly on the W o r d of God. People are not healed because someone has power in his hands, but because someone believed Gods Word -although it is true that manifestations of this nature may accompany the healing. But placing faith in anything else except Gods Word, always leads to confusion and uncertainty.

TVH thoroughly believes in the doctrine of the laying on of hands as revealed in the Scriptures. Not scores, but literally hundreds in a single service, have received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, through the laying on of hands in some of the Holy Ghost rallies conducted by our associates. Nothing like it has happened in the history of the church since the days of the apostles. This entirely Biblical practice is confirmed by such Scriptures as Acts 8:17; 9:17; 19:6. The laying on of hands for the healing of the sick is distinctly commanded by the Lord Jesus in the Great Commission. (Mark 16:18.) The laying on of hands with prophesying is scriptural under certain circumstances. (Acts 13:1-3.) W e also have the example of Timothy who received a gift, accompanied by prophecy, with the laying on of hands. (I Tim. 4:14.) But Paul, in the same epistle, ,caution;,Timothy to lay hands suddenly on no man. (I Tim. 5:22.) In both of the above examples, the individuals were well-known by those who laid hands on them. The apostles were far from laying hands on Paul at a moments notice. Ananias had to receive a vision from the Lorcf before he would even pray for his healing. (Acts 9:lO-18.) After Pauls conversion, and

What has been said, must not be interpreted

A most interesting study of the ministry of the Spirit is found in Numbers 11:ll-29. In this case, Moses who had been so mightily endued with a Divine anointing, complained to the Lord that he was unable to carry the burden of so great a people. (Verse 14.) God then permitted him to appoint seventy elders

Rev. M . E. Collins, ( l e f t ) President of Southwestern Bible Institute, Waxahachie, Texas, gives us the fifth in a.series I of articles on Divine Healing in the Local Community.

,
wenty-five years ago I heard my first Healing book that we know about. Here at school our students have opportunity to sermon about Divine Healing. Rev. the hear some of our greatest ministers and evanP. C. Nelson, a former Baptist minister, gelists. A number of the ministers and evanfounder and first president of Southwest- gelists who have been used in the healing ern Bible School was,the evangelist who ministry have conducted large campaigns in Fort Worth and Waco. The following spoke that night. At that time I was Dallas, evangelists have conducted campaigns in nearsuperintendent of a public school in by cities during the past year: W. V. Grant, Oklahoma, and an ordained minister in 0. L. Jaggers, William Branham, Jack Coe, Phillip N. Green, U . S. Jaeger, Louise Nanthe Christian Church. , God had used Brother P. C. Nelson in a great ministfy of healing. Wonderful miracles were performed during ,his great revival campaigns. It was at Brother Nelsons suggestion that I attended a revival conducted by Evangelist F. F. Bosworth in 1928, in Chicago at the great tabernacle where Paul Rader was pastor. The revival lasted for several months. Thousands of people attended that meeting. I met there several other great evangelists who were preaching the Gospel of healing, as well as salvation. I saw miracles of healing take place, and demons were castlout. It was a new revelation to me. My eyes were opened to the truth that God still heals people in answer to prayers of faith.
W e had n o idea that some day God would call me to serve as president of one of the greatest Pentecostal Bible Colleges in America. .We never thought that I would help to plan the course of study and help train thousands of consecrated young people to carry the Gospel of salvation and Divine Healing to many lands.

kivell, Oral Roberts, Mildred Wicks, Gayle Jackson, and Paul Cain.

Here at the School we often pray for the sick and afflicted. Students and faculty help pray for others and see many healings take place at the School and in outstations where they serve as pastors. People have been healed in the dormitories, in homes, in apartments, in the huts, in classrooms, in chapel, and even in our offices and in the corridors of the School. Healings take place by the operation of the Holy Spirit in answer to prayers of faith. W e &e not healers; it is the work of God. D l V I N E H E A L I N G A S A PRACTICE A T R A V E L I N G SALESMAN came to my office one morning and introduced himself. While explaining who he represented, a student came to the door and.asked my secretary if we would pray for her., The salesman overheard the conversation so stepped back and said, Let her come in; I will wait. W e prayed for her; and before she left, others came until we had prayed for four different ones. God healed all of them. When the last one went out, the salesman said to me; I have been a traveling salesman for over twenty years, calling upon school men in many states, but never before have I ever seen anything like this taking place. , A G R A N D M O T H E R attended college here after her children were grown. One day she was injured in an automobile accident near here and was.in a local hospital for several days. My wife and I went to see her., She had been totally paralyzed on her right side for three days, and the paralysis seemed to be slowly creeping over her whole body. She could in no wise use her right arm and had no feeling in it from he; fingers to her

. D I V I N E H E A L I N G A S A STUDY COURSE
W e believe that it is of great importance that our students obtain as much information as possible on the subject of Divine Healiqg. In addition to the regular courses in doctrinal studies, we offer special courses in Divine Healing in which the students are required to do research work in our college library which contains every good Divine

shoulder. She asked us to pray for her there. W e prayed until God healed her. It took Him only a few minutes. She finished her college (course, went to Alaska as a missionary and has done a gdod work there. A H I G H SCHOOL BOY was injured one evening. Some of the boys were playing a game, and two accidentally ran together. O n e . was injured, and he could not use his left arm without great pain. They brought him to my home. Upon examination I found tliat he had a broken collar bone. It was very painful. W e laid our hands on him and prayed until the bone straightened out. The pain left, and he could use his arm perfectly nor,mal. H e was completely healed. A N EPIDEMIC OF I N F L U E N Z A (flu) came through this part of the country one winter. Most ,of the public schools were forced to close. Many students at S.B.I. were afflicted. In chapel one morning we asked all who were suffering with headaches, pains, or fever to hold up their hands. A number of hands went up. W e then asked those who stood near the suffering ones to lay hands on them and believe God for their healing while we prayed. Seventeen were instantly healed there. The matron of the Girls Dormitory called me to come and help pray for twenty girls who were in bed sick with the f l u . One after another was healed, and eighteenof the twenty were well and in class the next morning. HEALED OF POLIO A T A N O U T S T A TION. A student states that at an outstation service in Grapevine, Texas, where the Advanced Choir had gone for service, a boy was healed of polio. For some time he had been wearing a brace on his leg and walking on crutches. The power of the Lord came down in a special way and miraculously healed the cripple boy. That same night he walked without his crutches, and the following day he removed the brace from his leg. The healing was so wonderful that his classmates hardly recognized him. H e has been walking perfectly. normal since that time. While people are doubting that God- heals ,today, students at Southwestern are learning everything that they can about- this part of the blessings of the full Gospel way. . M. E. Collins, President

The sound teaching ministry of Evang. Howurd E . Hardt will long be remembered by the churches of Southern Ontario where a great-union meeting was held i n Octobev. The meetings were taken f r o m one church t o another, and on Sundays t o the Collegiate Auditorium in St. Catlia?-ines, Ontario, where these pictures were taken: The f i n e orchestra and the pastors of the seven cooperating churches are shown at left, with a partial view of the crowd attending at right.

Evangelist H . E. Haidt came to our section for a Union meeting with the seven Pentecostal Assemblies churches from St.. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Fort Colborne, Vineland, Dunville, Fort Erie, and Welland. From the opening service Oct. 7, the blessing of God was with this effort. Each building was packed out night after night as the meetings moved from church to church. On the*three Sunday nights of the Union meeting, all the cooperating Assemblies gathered in the large Collegiate Auditorium i n . St. Catharines for a great rally and a truly great Full Gospel meeting. Brother Hardt preached the W o r d of God in a most faith-inspiring way. His clear, forceful Bible teaching literally quickened many to living faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Healer. Each church reports some new adherents as a result of the meeting. Many testified t o healing and deliverance, with some outsanding cases of healing. Following the meeting continued blessing rests upon the people because of the sound preaching of the Word. In Bro. Hardts meeting it can pf said: He sent His word and healed them. Pastor Eric A. Hornby

I had a cancer on my hand which was getting worse rapidly. When I attended A. A. Allens Tent Revival in Yakima, Wash., in July 1951, it had spread and was very bad. One night I entered the prayer line for healing. Rev. Allen prayed for me and commanded the cancer to go! During the next few days T H E CANCER B E G A N TO DRY U P . As it withered, it loosened and came out by the roots, leaving ,ugly holes where the roots had been. These holes gradually filled in and smoothed over with new flesh. It has now been three months since I was healed. My hand is as smooth as a childs f a n d only a small scar remains. N o pain has ever returned. To God be all praise and Glory! Nola Sherrill (above right) Calico Rock, Arkansas Oct. 26, 1951 (Original copy signed) On October 26, 1951, Nola Sherrill attended the A. A .

On my right cheek, near the right eye, a horrible lump began to gropr. It continued to grow and to get worse as it spread. It was soon obvious that it was cancer and diagnosed as such. It caused me much anxiety and pain. One night while attending the Allen Healing Revival in Yakima, Washington, God spoke to me saying, Get into the Jealing line and Ill heal you of this cancer. I entered the prayer line and Brother Allen p-ayed for me, cursing the cancer in Jesus Name! H e commanded it to leave. Three days later the Spirit of the Lord came upon me in an unusual way. I realized that something was taking place as the cancer. began to tingle. SUDDENLY THE CANCER VANISHED! I could ,never find it. Z t just disappeared. Z ran to my wife and asked her to look. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF THE CANCER! Even the skin where the cancer had been was smooth and no discoloration was left. This testimony is being given three months later. T o this time, no soreness or pain has ever returned. W. W. Moorehead (above) Knob Creek, Arkansas Oct. 26, 1951 (Original copy signed)

Tulsa has been left with a wholesome atmosphere, marks of real spirituality, manifestations of gifts of the Spirit and healings that will be remembered for many years to come. T h e convention meant much to all of us, and our hearts were blessed to see the lovely Christian fellowship and unification among Gods people. W e are sure everyone who put forth an effort to cooDerate and attend the convention was doubly -blessed.

Klerksdorps hotels, boarding houses restaurants and filling stations did a roaring trade over the week-end as thousands of people from all parts of the Transvaal, Orange Free State, the North-Western Cape, and even from South West Africa, flocked to the town to hear and to seek the aid of the faith-healer, William Branham, a small quiet-spoken man from the United States of America. Remarkable scenes were witnessed at the services conducted by Branham and some remarkable cures were claimed by him and by sick and injured persons to whom he ministered. Early on Friday morning hundreds started queuing at the Apostolic Faith Mission to hear him speak that afternoon. A sharp rainstorm washed out the service on the Rugby Ground that night.and Mr. Branham did not appear at the services, which was hastily transferred to the Farmers Hall. Bedraggled and wet to the skin many sick and injured persons prere carried into the hall. On Saturday nightacrowd estimated between 5,000 apd 6,000 gathered at the Rugby field. Hundreds of persons came on crutches and on stretchers and in wheel chairs. One desperately sick woman was brought from aFree State town. Mothers and fathers brought paralyzed and mentally deficient children. Old men and women dragged themselves along to find a seat in front of the dais where the healer was to appear. It was a sight never to be forgotten. During the preliminary service the preacher told something of Branhams life and of the cures effected by God.after he had prayed for. the sick. By the time Branham appeared on the dais a large section of the crowd were in a frenzy of excitement. He spoke calmly and slowly. It was evident from his words that he sincerely believed that he had been called by God to minister to the sick and that he was firmly convinced that faith, and faith alone, could overcome all disease or inability. He made it clear that he claimed no supernatural power! for himself but that God was the healer and would heal where faith was manifest. What he could
ter, or, what is far worse, the moral disaster of hypocritical laziness and guile. Much of the correspondence that comes to me from those who are careful t o inform me that they are by faith,, (and therefore beg for free copies of magazines, books, etc.) expresses the idea that such a way of life necessarily that they are chronically and desperately poor W h y ? Is our Heavenly Father SO irnpdverished that He can only afiord to keep those who are faithfully loving and serving Him miserably\ subsisting on the DoverN level? It is true that our Lord lived in humble circumstances as a man, and H e said,hard things about the spirit-. ual difficulties of rich people, but there is no evidence that all through His earthly life H e continually lacked those things (that are needful. The rather H e cheerfully taught His listeners that their Father in heaven would never foiget them and therefore t h e y need t a k e n o anxious thought for the morrow. Occasional periods of genuine poverty can teach us precious lessons never learned in times of abundance. But w e can safely infer that somewhere or other we have misunderstood the perfect will of the Lord if we profess to be occupied in His royal service and yet are spending time and strength in continual begging or hinting after money. Unhappily it can degenerate into a downright racket. What amazes me is the number of veiled appeals I receive by A I R MAIL! , Those who over a long period.of happy years have lived by f a i t h in the popular sense of receiving no settled salary or income would probably tell us with a smile that they have lived by works. I t has never entered their minds to do any-

do, any man or woman with faith in Gods love could do for hiniself or herself. It was manifestly impossible for him to pray individually for every sick person as that would take him weeks if not months. For that reason prayer cards were issued and only a few ;would be selected at random. Some fifteen women and one man were called to the dais. One by one they testified that they had never seen Branham before. He diagnosed their ills and they testified that his diagnosis was correct. For some he prayed and after prayer told them to go as their faith had healed them. Others he merely told to go and be well. During Sunday mornings service, attended by an equally large crowd, Branham suddenly turned to a man sitting in a wheel chair and told him to rise as he had been cured. The man got up, walked a-few steps, and shouted with glee. Others milled around him and hid him from view. A child, cross-eyed for many years, was brought to Branham and, after prayer, the child was declared to be fully cured of his affliction. Later doctors certificates to this effect were shown to people on the dais. Some were weeping bitterly and others were rejoicing and telling of the love of God. On Sunday night the crowd was even larger than. on previous occasions and many testified that they had been cured.

But they understood very well that He had Ordained them to be labourers, not loungers. Faith is not laziness, nor an Perhaps for the laziness. imporrant Secret Of success in the true life of faith is to know the Of God for Oneself, and t ? keep in it. There are Po parantees that God will supply all we want-0 fulfill our own whims and wishes and ambitious plans, even when they have much to excuse and commend them to shallow thinking. T h e true life of faith for a supply of every need demands a rigid discipline of prayer and consecration. It involves being continually led by the Spirit of God. It may often mean self-denial of a very deep nature. It can involve the loss of all things before Gods glorious supply begins to flow. I t certainly requires a sound understanding of His Word. Let sentimentalists be warned to keep well away. True faith is learned and strengthened in a hard school. And perhaps those w h o are most truly of all living by faith in the eyes of God are not even living by faith at all in the easy sense that so often is popularly meant by the phrase. True faith is seen by our Father who seeth in secret; but H e delights to reward i t openly. .

Incidentally we should do well to remind ourselves that faith, and what we call living by faith, goes far deeper than either our body or our bank book. The just shall LIVE by faith and t&e living by faith touches the springs of every part.of our life, especially the unseen and spiritual. There is a sentimental appeal, of tremendous potency to many Christians in the biographies of men of faith like George Muller, or the testimonies of those still alive and among us, when they tell of. Gods faithfulness in supplying their every need in answer to prayer. Numbers of Christian workers start out to d o the same. Without waiting to learn, the profound principles involved, and without pausing to examine their own motives thoroughly, they launch out into a way of so-called living by faith that all too often ends either in financial disas-

These accomplishments and achievements have one objective; that it is not for the benefit of any one man or group of men, but for the glory of our Heavenly Father. Many of the souls saved and healed will 'continue to glorify our Lord and not man. This has been the achieved objective that has taken place, far greater than has ever been known in this town, and it is so far above all criticism and objections that they have' faded away in the great accomplishment that the Lord has achieved through His humble servant, Brother Coe.
Below: MR. KRAUSE

Concerning the Coe Revival from a businessman's standpoint of view,' let me say. thar generally, successful men are aggressive. Many have a very great desire to achieve or accomplish some outstanding objective, and they will consider all available information concerning facts, causes, effects, and results. They generally plan their approach to the objective. by calculating all labor costs and conditions involved to carry out" the objective. They especially weigh and consider all facts, causes, .effects, competition, objections, and results. They then calculate the size of each of those objections and the size of the accomplishment, and say to themselves: "Are the objections worth the accomplishment?" Something like this was done in planning the Coe Revival. Many .of us considered ther objections and the results. Now we have observed that the objections, though much' greater than we anticipated, were minimized, as the oppositions were without facts; making the objections of no effect against the accomplished achievement.
Also against Brother Coe's hard and out-

NEW ENGLAND FEELS fMPACT OF ERICKSON MEETING

B y Pastor W. C. Nelson Glad Tidings Tabernacle Everett, Massachusetts Sunday, October 14, marked the opening of a Boston-wide healing-salvation revival under the ministry o f Rev. Clifton Erickson. From the opening service in the Orpheum Theatre the mighty power o f God w3s manifested in the healing of needy bodies. It was .evident with each service that the spiritual tide was rising so that before the close of the three weeks, with services nightly, we were conscious that not only greater Boston, but reserved New England had witnessed a visitation o f Gods wondrous power to save, to heal, and to baptize with the Holy Spirit. B y test i t * was found in several services that friends were gathered from the various states: Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

T h i s manifestation of Gods p o w e r has stirred the t o w n of Harrison. The first three nights of the Campaign were held in the Assembly of God Church here. Each night the church was filled with approximately 700 people crowded into a 450-seating capacity. On the fourth night the meetings were moved into the Armory. Every night the crowds from Harrison and nearby communities were attracted to hsar the Word of God and to see the healings of many as they had faith in God. Our hearts have thrilled as we realize that God has given us this wonderful outpouring of His Spirit. Many, many people with various diseases and afflictions have received deliverance through the supernatural power of God. We have watched the faces and expressions of gratitude of those who have never heard as their ears are opened by the touch of God, and also their happiness at being able to form words with tongues that have never spoken. We have seen goiters disappear, crossed- eyes straighten, arthritics walk and use limbs that were stiffened, weakened eyes become strong, blind eyes see, and numbers of other afflictions go. One man was delivered of epilepsy after having been bound for twelve years. We do not wish to forget to praise God for the numbers who have given their hearts to Him after hearing the Spirit-anointed sermons of Brother Teuber in the afternoon services and then again at the close of Brother Ericksons evening messages. Truly we be1ieve.that this is the time of Gods visitation to Harrison and all Arkansas. We wish to be pliable in His hand that this revival in our hearts might reach the sinsick and weary. Rev.

Enemy counter attacks are a prominent part of revelation in Gods Word. Though David in his youth valiantly overcame Goliath, the boastful Gittite of Gath and all his mighty horde, he fought this same malignant foe all through his long life; but he was triumphant in every fierce conflict. Never was he defeated while he was faithfully serving the Lord and believing His Word. In 1 Sam. 1 7 5 4 5 1 we read that David prevailed over the Philistine and smote the Philistine and slew him. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. Victory through Faith! Y e t later in Davids history we yead that moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel.

ON THIS P A G E A R E EXCERPTS F R O M THE F R O N T P A G E OF THE S U N D A Y R O Y A L GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 5, 1950. WRITTEN BY A STAFF REPORTER.

Islands

Before a crowd of 2,00O,.Sister Fern Huffstutler carried out her largest healing service in Bermuda in No. 6 shed on Friday night. During the weeksome of Bermudas crippled, blind and sick had heard similailv afflicted men and women claim that by miracles they had been enabled to see and hear again.
The shed was packed to the doors as Sister Fern began the laying on of hands. Before her, winding down the aisle stood the pitiful file of hopeful patients. First i n the line was Frederick Richardson, of North Street, who has been almost totally blind since 1937. H e has been to two specialists who have been unable to help him. Sister Fern laid her hands on hi: eyes and cried in prayer to drive away the evil spirits. I can see your features, I see your eyes and your nose. I couldnt see them before, Mr. Richardson said, a slow smile spreading across his face. Afterwards he told me: I am definitely seeing better than when I came in. I think God has done something for me. I cant tell you , how I feel. A woman with a tumor in the stomach, who was in pain, shouted (Hallelujah and raised her arms above her head when, according to her, the pain disappeared after being prayed for by Sister Fern. Eddie Outerbridge told Sister Fern he was deaf. She shouted into his ears and called on G o d t t o open them. Then she turned his face away from her and walked six paces behind him. Say Amen, she said. Amen, said Mr. Outerbridge. He gave his name in answer to questions by Sister Fern. D E A F FOR 15 Y E A R S Ive been deaf for I5 years, said Mr. Outerbridge. Isnt i t wonderful. I think it was a miracle. I lived in Baileys Bay and I came all this way by bus to see Sister Fern. Im coming back again another night and see if she can do something for my eyes. They are going,
too.)

Fern Gabrielle Huffstutler, the evangelist from Oklahoma, drew them there. She dominated the crowd. , There were about 2,000 people in the shed- and-hundreds packed the entrance. The long line o f those who hoped to be healed extended from the front of the platform down one of the aisles. It was a pathetic sight. The woman missionary claims to perform miracles of healing F o u g h God. She. does not attribute the power to herself. Many of those upon whom she laid hands d i e d afterwards that they were cured or felt better. I n some cases there was no result and the evangelist made no bones about if. She said that miracles did not happen in every instance. Fern Huffstutler has a powerful personality. She believes in what she preaches and is able to convince others of her faith.
Look, I can twist both of them, she told me excitedly. I havent been able to do,that for years.

A young woman called Emily, who said she had been deaf in her left ear since 1944, claim-, ed it was miraculously opened by God after Sister Fern had touched it. I am hearing in i t now! God opened it for me, she cried. Mrs. Aldora Maybury, of Angle Street, who for 6 years has been afflicted with arthritis in the ankles flung up her arms and shouted: Thank you, God, after the pain had been taken away and her ankles uqtwisted.

Miss Ruth Simons, who attendedone of the,-earlier services, wrote t o The Sunday Royal Gazette: I am thanking God for His healing: touch on my ear. H e has completely healerle me after Sister Fern prayed that my deaf ea1 become unstopped..I was deaf all my life. ;

IS SHOWN uv CHAPTER ONE OF THIS BOOK, FOR C H R I S T N E V E R P R A Y E D FOR ANY TO BE HEALED. N O R E V E R P R A Y E D TO HIS HEAVENLY FATHER TO PER. FORM ANY OF H I S MIRACLES. I n other words,. the F A I T H OF G O D always gave COMMANDS, .as that faith always does. Notice that Christ says that when one has the F A I T H OF G O D he shall have whatsoever he S A I T H (not prayeth) he will S A Y unto this mountain BE T H O U REM O V E D (a command)!

And Jesus answering saithtunto them, HAVE THE FAITH OF GOD (exact Greek translation). For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, B E THOU REMOVED, and B E THOU CAST INTO THE SEA, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass, he shall have, whatsoever he SAITH (Mark I 1:22).
T h i s i s one of ;he most amazing truths in the entire New Testament, for the Lord Jesus Christ here is saying that when one has the F A I T H OF GOD, he can then pray the prayer of COMMAND. l W i t h the F A I T H OF GOD, one does not really pray at all, rather he gives COMMANDS, because he has already prayed, has already received power and authority from the Lord Jesus Christ. In the c&e of healing sicknesses and diseases, T H E F A I T H O F G O D DOES N O T P R A Y ! I T A L W A Y S GIVES COMMANDS! It is impossible to deny this, for in these verses Christ states clearly that when one has the F A I T H OF GOD, he shall have whatsoeverand he shall he S A I T H (not prayeth) S A Y unto this mountain (a command) BE T H O U REMOVED-(a command, not a pray-I er)! This F A I T H OF GOD, howevir is not the Faith that every Christian must have in order to know Christ as a personal Saviour. N o r is it the faith that,every Christian has in his heart. The F A I T H OF GOD as this chapter will show is ONE OF T H E N I N E GIFTS OF T H E SPIRIT. today, notice his first words when he introduced the Gospel to the world for the first time in the synagogue. His first words retealed that he had been ANOINTED. THE SPIRIT OF T H E LORD IS U P O N ME .I. for H e HATH A N O I N T E D me to preach the Gospel to the poor . the recovering of sight to the blind ..

Y O U M A Y H A V E T H E FAITH OF GOD! Here is one of the greatest statements in this book! Y o u may have the irresistible F A I T H OF GOD!. The faith that gives COMMANDS. that, S A Y S unto this mountain (whether of sickness, disease, affliccioh, etcj BE T H O U REMOVED

CHRIST HAD THE FAITH OF GOD It is my purpose in this chapter to show that the F A I T H OF G O D is irresistible. When Christ was in the world, because he was A N O I N T E D with the H O L Y G H O S T before-he began his earthly ministry, and because he had his wilderness experience of fasting and prayer and conquered Satan, and because he ever after led a consistent prayer life, therefore God had breathed into Christ, as the son of man, the F A I T H OF GOD. Remember that Christ had two natures the Divine Nature, as the Son of God, and the human nature, as the Son of Man. A s man in the flesh, Christ was tempted -and had to be A N O I N T E D with the H O L Y G H O S T before starting his marvelous ministry, just as all true ministers today must be ANOINTED, or baptized with the Spirit before they can have a God-ordained ministry!

...

HIS H U M A N NATURE As the son of man, Christ was a man in the flesh and was A N O I N T E D before starting his ministry. How God A N O I N T E D Jesus of Nazareth with the H O L Y G H O S T and with P O W E R then H e went about healing all that were oppressed of the Devil After the Spirit in the form of a dove desended upon Chiist at Jordan River, after his vater baptism, H e then began his ministry *f preaching and healing the sick.

The Spirit-filled minister has the greatest first been baptized with the Spirit or A N - potential power on earth already within him, OINTED.

Pa., when he visited the Christian Pentecostal Ch,urch o f Tacony for an evangelistic and healing campaign recently. W e looked forward with great anticipation and expectancy to his coming, preparing ourselves with fasting and prayer. As the time of his coming drew near, ' w e learned that God had been blessing his m.inistry in Hazelton. Our faith was Increased when IC was reported that many folk were being saved and healed. On November 6 our meeting got underway, and i t was very evident from the first night that the anointing of the Holy Spirit rested upon o u r brother. A number of people responded to the call for salvation' as well as healing. T h e results were most gratifying. Frequently the gift of discernment was in evidence, and while our brother prayed he called o u t the illness of the persons, assuring them that the malady would leave their bodies. Our church was greatly .blessed and edified. T h e fact that T H E VOICE O F H E A L I N G magazine is widely read in the Philadelphia area brought many visitors from other churches to the meetings.

O n 'September 16th we began a Salvation-Healing Campaign with Evangelist Herbert H. Leonard. The meeting continued for three weeks and God blessed in a wonderful way and saved souls, filled and refilled some with the Holy Ghost, and healed the sick. One young man had his neck broken in a car accident and was wearing a brace about his body just above his hips and up to his head. Brother Leonard prayed for him and the Lord healed him. T h e next day the doctor took off the brace and said he.had a new bone in his neck and didn't need t h c brace! Another man was prayed for whose 'feet and ankles were swollen and were paining him, and God healed him. T h e swelling left immediately. A n elderly lady was healed of a swelling i n her mouth that she had had for some time. W e are very thankful for the healing power of the Lord and for. His marvelous saving of the lost. W e thank God for Brother Leonard's ministry. W. A. Edwards, Pastor Calvary Assembly of God, 2320 Gurley Ave. Waco, Texas T O M M Y HICKS GALT, C A L I F O R N I A Recently w e closed a twelve-day revival with Evangelist Tommy Hicks. God met with us in old-time power: Over one hundred persons answered the altar call for salvation, and many received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Many received healing for their bodies. One man, w h o was nearly blind, and for whom doctors had said nothing could be done, was prayed for by Brother Hicks, and the Great Physician made him instantly whole! H e and his wife accepted Christ as their personal Saviour, and she too was healed. Others were healed o f arthritis, goiter, and many other afflictions and diseases. Only time and eternity will reveal the extent of the spiritual accomplishments of this meeting within the hearts of the Christians. Rev. A. A. White, Pastor CLEVELAND, O H I O L O U I S KAPL,AN Rev. Kaplan conducted evangelistic and healing meetings here in the Little Theatre Auditorium.from October 14th through the 28th. T h e meetings were well attended by both Jew and Gentile and were a great blessing to all the Ministers and Christians w h o participated. There were outstanding conversions of Catholics and Jews as well as others. One young man who was preparing for' the priesthood was saved. A boy w h o for years had worn a brace to support his back, testified of his healing and removed the brace during the meetings. One sister from my ' o w n congregation had suffered an oppression in her head for many years and had, through different ways, sought deliverance, without success. This sister was greatly delivered through prayer and n o w enjoys a , happy, free state of mind. A number of other healings were testified to. Often someone in the prayer line knelt o n the platform to receive salvation before healing. One outstanding case was that of a Jewish man w h o gave his heart to the Lord.

GLEN THOMPSON P O P L A R BLUFP, MO. Several hundred people, from nearly one hundred towns and several states, have attended the Revival and Divine Healing Campaign conducted by Rev. Glen Thompson of Paragould, Ark.. at Faith Tabernacle in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. T h e tide of faith bas been carefully built from night to night by our Evangelist. T h e spoken W o r d of God has brought to pass the. instantaneous manifestation of the Miracles of Christ. T h e blind have received their sight; cataracts have* melted and disappeared; a young woman with a broken leg- was instantly healed and walked from the platform without the aid of her crutches. Goiters have instantly disappeared; all manner of diseases have been healed. One young woman of Kansas City was deaf and dumb and had been prayed for many times before, but was instantly healed. T h e following night she received the ,baptism of the Holy Ghost and spoke audibly before the entire congregation for some twenty-five minutes. Catholics have made this remark after' seeing the miracles, " W e cannot help but believe now; we want to come to this church all the time." T h e Holy Ghost rallies have been an outstanding part of this campaign. Instantly as prayer*is offered the people begin to,speak in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. Many, many were filled, and those w h o were .lukewarm were refilled qnder the melting power o f the mighty God. Brother Thompson's ministry is marked with humility before God. H i s spirit toward all churches is that of Christ. Because of this, all denominations have come to enjoy the manifested power of God. Signs, wonders, and miracles have followed this campaign. No creed but Christ has been set forth; and as'a result w e have been able to help many people. W e can heartily recommend Brother Glen Thompson to all faiths. His message will help everyone. Louise Copeland, Pastor

Large file cabinets of testimonies of healing and salvation leave no doubt of the anointing of God upon these dedicated lives.

God blessed the anointed preaching of Brother Holmes; truly God was in our midst! There were several outstanding healings. One lady who had worn a brace on her back for thirteen years went home and removed th; brace after being prayed for. The next night she returned and praised God for her healing. A little boy whose eye was crossed was prayed for .and a few days later when we saw the little fellow again, his eye was very much improved.

Blind, Deaf and Crippled

Leave Tannenbaum Revival Well
The Lord hath done great things. for us, whereof we are glad. . W e desire to give thanks to God for the recent seven-weeks ievival meeting conducted here in Philadelphia by Brother Abe Tannenbaum and party. The presence of the Almighty God and waves of His Glory swept through the entire service each night and many responded to the invitation to accept Christ. . , People of many races, colors, and creeds, with joyful hearts sat together and testified to their healing. During this particular meeting Bro. Tannenbaum seemed to be especially used of the Lord in the deliverance of the blind, deaf, and crippled. Many left their canes and crutches. A man walked down the aisle, passed his cane to an usher and went praising God for healing. A crippled woman ran down the aisles crying out and giving praises to Jesus for her healing. The entire congregation stood to their feet and gave thanks tp God for such marvelous healings. Their voices sounded like many waters. The people stood around the walls, sat in the windows, and crowded the place t o see the mighty works of God. Many nights the fiery testimonies of Sister Tannenbaum stirred the service and many hearts were made to*give praises to God. Brother Tannenbaums dynamic, w h o l e - h e a r t e d , utterly sincere, and wellrounded preaching was greatly appreciated.

Jesus said, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Jesus was the Light of the World, and today H e does His shining through human personality. It is a benediction to ones soul and an. uplift to ones faith to meet people who shine for Christ, or rather who let Christ shine through them. ., It has been my privilege to meet a man who shines with the light of Christ. Rev. Michael Mastro is a man of high intelligence and good judgment; his messages are stirring and con-vincing. H e preaches deliverance through faith in Christ for soul and body. Evangelist Mastro has a,great delivery, a pleasing personality, a heart full of compassion and tenderness, and a passion for souls. Rev. James H. Whitfield Nocatee, FIorida People came from the states of North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, and many came from Pittsburgh to hear this great Jewish evangelist for Christ. Brother Abe leaves many new friends behind who will be happy to have him return. Bishop N. S. Heastie 701 N. 40th Street Philadelphia 4, Pa. .

W e praise the Lord for the four weeks of wonderful services we had here i n Batavia, Iowa, in our Open Bible Tabernacle, with Brother Oscar F. Capers of Waco, Texas. There was a real atmosphere of faith as the afflicted were healed nightly by the Power ,of God. Quite a number were saved in the services. The church was greatly blessed through this ministry of healing and a number of new converts will be coming into the church as a result. The fearlbs declaration of the Word of God nightly inspired faith to such a peak that some were healed before Brother Cap.ers could anoint them. One lady was to be operated on for the removal of a number of tumors. After being prayed for, she kept her appointment with the hospital. The doctors were amazed to find the X-rays showed the absence of any tumbrs. . A brother, who was given u p by the physician to die with asthma was prayed for, and three weeks later was seen rejoicing in the last service of the campaign. H e has been doing strenous 1abor.ever since he was prayed for. H e was also healed of coronary thrombosis. The final service was a thrilling climax. The wife of a Nazarene preacher, whose left arm was useless, and whose feet and legs were so swollenthey hardly looked human, was helped tothe platform for she could not walk under her own power. The power of God came upon her strongly when Brother Capers laid hands o n . her. .Brother Capers commanded her to walk in the Name ofcJesus. To the delight of the vast audience, she did so, walking the length of the platform several times without aid. She then walked unassisted down the same steps she had been carried up. Space will not permit our telling of many other wonderful things that took place, but God surely manifested Himself in a wonderful way! . I Kenneth J. Ross, Pastor

JEHOVAH-RAPHA, f AM- the LORD that hezleth thee.

I watched the striping. Could this be that of which they spoke in Holy Writ. This hungry whip, which called for blood and tore the flesh to ribbons: This impact loud and sharp, that Cut a furrow, deepened it and harrowed back and forth: This urgent flow of blood, streaming afresh at every stroke and fallirig like a many tributaried river. Shocked and s.peechless, yet I stood, awakened from niy stupid, lazy dream of Bible lore. Groaning He stood and still the whip flashed on, cutting the air and sprinkling blood afar: And still that aching back, allowed the tortured field of flesh to suffer deeper ploughings. The last blow fell; ,the whip hung limp, exhausted, dripping with its fearful toll of woe. What now! A glory light enveloped all, enshrining all that scene of grief: A VOICE, insistent, slow and soft, spoke at my heart, now open to receive, By His stripes you are healed. A mighty surge of virtue swept my frame and every trembling limb was new; * all pain dissolved. I walked away with quiet sobs, made whole and free, but not alone I walked, For SOMEONE walked with me and sweetly said, My presence will maintain
the health

THE ROUNBIUP ,OF PROPHECY

i n the last two years

Astartling compilation of the major events of the world in 24 months

By GORDON LZNDSAY

. WINTER 1949-50-THE

THREAT OF ATOMIC W A R F A R E BECOMES R E A L

I

Taylor, internationally known journalist and news analyst, whose predictions of events in World W a r 11 had proved startlingly correct, flatly declared (in the Readers Digest) that Russia did not yet have the technique and productive capacity to produce the atomic bomb. He declared that by the time Russia produced her first bomb, the United States should be ex: pected to have an atom-bomb stock-pile equalto 18 years of Soviet production.
How did this man make so great an error in his calculations? In the f i r s t place, he didnot count on the f a c t that there were traitors among our scientists who would sell out to Russia. Second, he failed to reckon with prophecy, t h a t must be fulfilled. America feverishly presses on in the atomic race. The so-called hydrogen bomb, also called the H-bomb or Hell-bomb, with potential power o f a thousand Hiroshima bombs, is being swiftly developed. Other super-bombs have already been prepared and exploded on the atomic proving grounds in Nevada. The illumination from the detonations was so g r e a t that i t was possible to take pictures in Los Angeles, four hundred miles away, by the Ijrilliancy o f the flash. Smaller atomic bombs also have been prepared that can be used in tactical operations on the battlefield-a new and grim development. A whole division can be wiped out in one flash by the fire demon o f the unleashed atom. America is still ahead in the atomicrace, but Russia is not f a r behind. Moreover, Russian indushy has been decentralized a s a result o f the Nazi invasion of 1941. America has scarce begun to scatter her industry. So prodigious would such an undertaking be, that no one k e m s to know how t o begin such an operation. Thus the g r e a t cities lie naked and open t o the frightful consequences of atomic warfare. Could Russian planes break through our defenses?

On June 25, 1950, a s summer had hardly begun, America found harself once more .at war. Just a police action we w,ere informed. B u t t h a t police action has re. sulted in 100,000 casualties already,, with victory apparently impossible to attain. The Korean war had its beginning in two fateful mistakes made by our, statesmen. And these two mistakes had their foundation in the fearful blunder o f believing that HOWARD RUSTHOIS REGULAR MARCH OF Communism was not the foul, hellish, double PROPHECY FEATURE WILL APPEAR NEXT crossing thing that it is.

T H E VOICE O F HEALING

February, 1952

T H E ATOMIC E X P L O S I O N I N Nevada produced such a blinding light that faraway L o s Angeles was flooded with light at this pre-dawn hour, as pictured right, (February, 1951) D E S T R U C T I V E TORNADO leaves Ail. Force ammuniiton depot i n shambles only a few blocks from The Voice of Healkg offices in spring of 51. Several Airmen and civilians were killed (center) V-2 ROCKET (bottom) carrying a sinalley rocket i n its nose. V-2 Rockets did tremendous damage i n London, before Hitlers armies were forced several hundred miles eastward and out of range. Now with vastly improved rockets, and with perhaps atomic warheads, the weapon becomes a fearful agent of destruction.
day and night the population would increase in equal ratio to the line of march. America realized t h a t she wag in f o r a real war now. And j u s t as Korea could not be defeated without China intervening, so China cannot be defeated without Russia intervening. A t the present moment a vast amount of equipment, produced by Russia, i s being sent to the Chinese Reds. The MIGS a r e o f Russian production, since China does not manufacture any such planes. The f a c t is that we a r e at war with Russia and do not know i t ! B u t prophecy must be fulfilled, and all these things must take place that, a s the book o f Revelation declares, The way o f theykings o f the E a s t m a y be prepared. America, realizing t h a t she cannot win in the East, now seeks an armistice. B u t even with an armistice, this leaves the situation identical to the way i t was when the war began. W e have laid more sandbags on the dike, hoping to keep back the rising floods of world judgment. The only thing that has happened is that t h e waters continue to rise, and when they break through, the devastation will be greater, the longer the hour of reckoning is deferred. The Dragon o f the E a s t has opened its mouth and is pouring out its flood o f destruction. It i s significant to note that in the 12th and 13th chapters of the Book o f Revelation, which deal with events o f the end-time, certain powers are represented by symbols, which include the eagle, the lion, the bear, and the dragon. The four powers which a r e dominating the international scene at the present time a r e represented by just these symbols. The eagle i s a symbol of America, the lion o f England, the bear o f Russia, and the dragon of China! Prophecy marches on!

The entrance of China, a n a t i o i o f half a billion people, into war against America, at last has roused the U. S. to her peril. Dwight Eisenhower, hero o f World W a r 11, is called from his post o f college president at Columbia to embark on a special mission to Europe. The Russian juggernaut i s poised to roll at a command from the Kremlin. Some believe t h a t its hosts would sweep to the English Channel in the matter o f weeks. B u t Communist Russia apparently i s not quite ready to move. F i r s t , she must have sufficient atomic weapons to retaliate against America i f thatDdread weapon should be used. So while time is yet available, Eisenhower is sent on a mission to Europe to.prepare against the impending danger. Against g r e a t odds, the dynamic personality of Eisenhower has succeeded to some extent in rallying these nations t o a sense o f their peril. One of the interesting prophetic factors in the North Atlantic P a c t is t h a t exactly ten European nations a r e included in the pact. According to Rev. 17:12, ten nations were t o bind themselves together in a confederacy and lend their strength to the B e a s t Power that rises to dominate the prophetic world at the time o f the end. We would be very cautious about saying t h a t the present European nations in the P a c t are exactly the ope- t h a t will be includ-

SPRING 1951-MAC ARTHUR DISMISSED

F o r years, two Christian men have dominated the picture in the Far East-MacA r t h u r and Chiang-Kai-Chek. They have been a bulwark against malevolent forces t h a t have sought to gain control of t h a t g r e a t area. MacArthur, supreme commander of the Pacific, moved on t o victory i n 1945, not only defeating Japan, but in a n unprecedented stroke, gained the respect, admiration, and even t h e love of the defeated Japanese. Chiang-Kai-Chek held back t h e hordes of the Red a r m y on t h e continent. Now was t h e time t o strike the final blow. MacArthur said, Send reinforcements t o Chiang at once. Let us end t h e conflict in China. Then came t h e most momentous blunder i n a hundred years of American history. Our statesmen gambled on t h e premise t h a t t h e Chinese Reds were not underlings of t h e Kremlin and would keep the peace in the Orient. They gambled and lost. Chiang was told t o save himself and get out of China as best he could. Forsaken by America, he was forced t o flee to Formosa. Thus were t h e warnings of MacArthur ignored. I n t h e Spring of 1951, MacArthur w a s dismissed from his post. Too lateto save China now. J u s t time to save face. But saving face will not save America. Somehow .our nation knew t h a t somethi-ng wa3 badly wrong. When MacArthur returned t o America, he received a n ovation t h a t perhaps h a s never been equalled in world history, indicating t h e confidence of the common man t h a t his warnings were true. BUT PROPHECY MARCHES ON. We make a g r e a t mistake if we single out a n y man, friend o r foe, and blame our troubles on him. America has not repented, therefore God has delivered America t o fresh perils. God guides t h e destinies of nations. H e raised u p t h e wicked Assyrians to punish Israel in days of old. So He h a s permitted Communism t o rise as a z o d of His anger t o punish a world t h a t has rejected Christ. Sometimes God gives t h e reins of government into the hands of incomaetent men. as chastisement UP011 a natioi;. so 2poEe t h e prophet Daniel when h e said, T h a t t h e living may know t h a t the Most High ruleth in t h e kingdom of.men, and giveth i t to.whomsoever H e will, and setteth over i t t h e basest of men. (Dan. 4:17)

There appears n o question, therefore, but t h a t man h a s succeeded in making rain; the only question is whether he has disturbed t h e balance of nature-by the rainmaking, or, the .violent atomic bomb tests, or both? One fact seems certain: never before in modern history has t h e weather been disturbed a s it h a s been during t h e , last few years. A couple of winters ago, a cold f r o n t hung on no less than four months i n the North and the West, breaking all previous records. Last year the cold wave penetrated way down into Mexico, freezing t h e tropical vegetation. This summer all records in the South were broken f o r heat. Never before h a s the weather been in such a state of unpredictability. All these capricious turns of t h e weather, costly as they have been, climaxed in t h e disastrous Kansas City Flood l a s t July, when many lives were lost and a billion doll a r s i n property damage was suffered. The whole nation i s familiar with the tragic story. Never in the history of America h a s so g r e a t amount of wealth been destroyed. Perhaps neve? since t h e Deluge h a s t h e total destruction of property been equalled. Incidentally, i n - t h e August issue of TVH we told t h e story of how Evangelist Jack Coe g o t his g r e a t t e n t and equipment out in t h e nick of time - one of t h e most dramatic incidents in the. history of evangelism. The g r e a t meteorological disturbances a r e of so,varied a number and character as t o be almost impossible t o catalogue them. A cyclone passed about a mile from t h e TVH office a f e w months ago, . t a k i n g several -lives. Christ, when speaking of His second Coming spoke of similar signs t o occur . and upon t h e e a r t h distress of nations, with. perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; mens hearts failing them f o r fear, and f o r looking a f t e r those things .which a r e coming upon the earth: f o r thz powers of t h e heaven shall be shaken. Prophec? marches on!

wrought. It marked a historic occasion. The radio wave went u p and back (450,000 miles), vaulting high,above t h e bulge of the earth. (See TIME MAGAZINE, Nov. 26, 1951.)

So man with his scientific instruments in search f o r t h e key of life, seeks t o plumb t h e universe, but all he h a s been able t o discover thus f a r by this method, is the echo of his own message which, in this case, is a n exceedingly aplj,ropriate one, What I l a t h God Wrought. Instead of man seeking by his own works to attain unto t h a t which will save him, all has already been wrought in Jesus Christ.
As t h e new year enters, so mankind is at the cross roads of decision. Shall man by his own knowledge destroy himself? Certainly his only hope i s in Christ. AS impending disaster looms ever nearer and nearer, t h e issue appears t o be in doubt. Only swift and complete repentance can save a world situation which i s deteriorating by t h e hour, Angels lean over t h e parapets of heaven t o see what t h e answer will be. God Himself waits, loath t o let the blow fall. Three worlds, heaven, earth, and hell a r e watching. I

What, then, shall the answer be?
