CHAPTER XLV
MISSIONS AT MERIDIAN, MISS., AND WARRIOR, ALA.
Woodworth-Etter Meeting
(Copied from the Meridian, Miss., “Star”)
Beginning New Year’s night, at the gospel tent on Sixth avenue, East End car line, with services held at 2 p. m. and 7:30 p. m., daily, the meetings have been a great success from the first service. The prominent figure in the meeting is Mrs. M. B. Woodworth-Etter of Indianapolis, Ind., with thirty-five years’ evangelistic experience. Thousands are reported to have received healings from the Lord through her ministry. Some fifteen or twenty persons have already testified to having been healed at this meeting, of diseases, varying from neuralgia to Bright’s disease and cancer. The tent is filled nightly with respectful and attentive audiences from the city and from out of town, to a distance of three hundred miles and less.
Among the number of persons prayed for, with the laying on of hands, was a daughter of a prominent physician and surgeon from northwest Alabama. She was unable to walk on account of a stiffened knee, from rheumatism, after medical skill had been exhausted, her father testifying to her condition. Mrs. Etter is one of the most level headed, matter of fact, discreet and courageous women. Nothing is said or done by her which reflects unfavorably on other denominations or upon the physicians.
