Prices. e THE MIRACLE HEALER AT CREDITON A reporter for the Mail and Empire has the following to say about the mysterious miracle healer who hag been operating at Crediton for some weeks, and whose actions have been attracting widespread interest in this county: The "unnamed" Miracle Man locat- ed at this point, who ''has been "startl- ing" the citizens of this centre and the surrounding terri:nry for the past few weeks with his "divine healings" and his supposed operations in secret, is a mystery no Ionizer. He is just plain John J. Steinmetz, a citizen of the United States. of German lin- eage, 'born at Lan:.ville, Kentucky, a follower of the le. -trine of spirit- u'ali'sm and a consorter with the departed spirits of the lost •Indian tribes, who is at pre,errt domiciled in a bumble little Cott. go in this vil- lage, and who is advertising kis calling by a big piacard stuck in the front window, bearing the solemn words, "Divine Healer." The only mystery that remains is why there ever should have ben a mystery. For several wee'1.., Mr. Steinmetz has been operating at this point and it was only a few ,lays ago that the outside portions ,f the province were startled with ale announcement carried, in various newspapers that the man was a 'mystery, inasmuch as he had refused to make known his name, :his former scenes of oper- ation or anything e..ocerning :himself which would en;,!,le the people to judge him. Ile' he is not tihat kind of a person all. He is too good a business man for that, for when he was app 'ached at tkis point to -day both before and after one of his session; of "divine heal- ing," Mr. Steinnce;r. made no effort to conceal his id,n sty. As a mat- ter of fact, Mrs. S inmetz, a young Irish woman, who was married to the Divine healer :even years ago, was quite prompt. :n handing out a business card, wit', the following words printed uI,'n it: "John .T. Steinmetz, Divine healer." And that. she 'assured, was the s<anre card which has here h .nrled out to all who chose to inn'cire. Just why there should have been any mystery as ,to the man's Identity is some- thing which the Steinmetz's and the people of Crediton cannot under- stand, though it is a fact that -the citizens of Exeter, which is about six miles dibbant, appeared to be in the habit of referring to him as "the unknown man."

He was not in it for money, but for the sake of charity, and before he leaves Canada he 'proposes to wow that every cent of the funds received for his vine healing will be spent in season.charity, charity not of the type ADMISSION: which map . underatende--euch as Adults, 25 Cents. Children 15 Cents.the passing out of •bag df Hour or a ton of coed—but charity which "frees man from the rpressure upon the soul, and makes him pure." When Mr. Steinmetz broke off from his healing long enough to balk about himself, he explained that he has been a healer for the past eleven years, and that his first patient to re- ceive successful treatment. was him- self. Prior to going in for healing he had been a carpenter, and he had a crippled leg. So he took up the study of spiritualism, under the dir- ection of a medium, aid by the ap- plication to himself of the principles of healing, he was able to sure the crippled leg. That made him think that what he could do for himself he could do for others; so ever since that time he has been going about the United States "healing the wounded souls and (bodies" of his patients; and he hoped that be would stay in Canada for years doing exactly the same kind of work.

It is !roped that he will which come declare contains a heal- able to resume oil as well as water, and then to rub or slap the afflicted parts, at the same time placing one hand upon the head of the patient. The effects of this treatment, sa the piano fund. operations, was a little difficult for some to understand. ,But .bbe story is a simple one. At present he and his wife and their five-year-old daughter are living with Mr. Thomas Appleton, a laborer well up in years, who contends that he was prostrat- ed upon a nick bed, struggling with pain and appendicitis, when the Di- vine healer, by the application of his bands and his "healing water," on two occasions, drove the pain away and made of Mr. Appleton a new man. Mr. Appleton assuredly was walking about his own (premises to'd'ay, with.every evidence of being a well man. But prior to taking up kis reeidence in the home of Mr. Thoanas Appleton, the Divine healer was located at another home—that of Mr. John Appleton, a brother of Thomas Appleton. 'From that home, according to the emphatic declara- tions of Mrs. John Appleton, he was ejected because 'She had formed the thahit of rned'dling in the affairs of the family." Judging from the address deliver- ed by Mr, Steinmetz Sunday after- noon to a gathering of about one hundred people, many of whom had travelled for long miles to hear him, he snakes little secret ::f the fact :hat be 1* an unusual type of healer, as his whole belief in divine healing is (based on spiritualism. Ths spirits, he pointed out, have various ways of operating. Some may ant through mediums, while others may confer npcn their favorites the .gift of Di- vine healing. And that is the gift which Mr. Steinmetz declares, in no upcertain words and tones, that he himself possesses; and it is the gift which a great many people in this district contend that he has dis played on several occasions since his arrival among them. So the history of the Divine healer in Crediton has not been entirely a pleasant one. The first home in which he appeared was that of Mr. John Appleton, to which place he came directly from Detroit. Accord- ing to the statement of Mr. and Mrs, Jahn Appleton, Mr. Steinmetz first came into the family last Fall, when he rented a house on Iroquois Avenue, in Detreik, from a relative of the App]etons. There .he made known the fact that he had .been a healer for the past eleven years and since John Appleton had a 27 -year- old daughter, Elsie, in the Hospital for the Insane, at London, the fam- ily were prevailed upon to have the girl removed from the institution and taken to Detroit for the Divine healer to cure. She was removed from the hospital in October last, and spent five months in the home of the Steinmetz, on Iroquois Ave. "When I visited then'," Mr. John Appleton stated, "I suggested to Mr. reverie of one would expert is a wonder worker.

LEWIS THOMSON: his duties before a great while.—Don't forget the play to Ore held in the Mensal town kW this (Friday> evenlng, wader bra auepice s of the Chise1hnrat Epworta League, the proceeds to be devoted tit cording to some, have been astonish- ing, though it doee seem to be a fact that as the stories of his deeds travel, they magnify in the travelling. In Exeter, for instance, it was said that Mrs, Eli Lawson, of Crediton, • woman who has had a withered anon for the past forty years, has admit- ted to treatments and that as a re- sult she was able to raise her arm above her head. Mrs. Lawson, however, when seen, admitted that her arm could not be raised any higher than before she had received treatments, but she was "conscious of a fresh feeling of life in the limb." People can say what they like about the Divine healer," Mrs. Law- son declared vigorously, "but I be- lieve in him, and say that he can perform wonders. I will still say it, even though everybody else should turn against him." In many respects, the citizens of Crediton appear to be divided as to whether or not to take the same viewpoint as Mrs. Lawson. There are several who say that after they gave up their regular 'medical (treatments and tried the Divine healer, they felt better for a time, then finally decided "there was nothing in it," and so went back to their regular medical men. The believers and the unbelievers seem.tn be about even- ly divided, while there are others who remain neutral. One of the be- lievers is Mrs. John Grower, of Skip- ka, who declares that she travelled some distance and was almost in - Steinmetz that there were plenty of stantly cured of rheumatism. A people around Crediton who were Mrs. James Hamilton, of 'Noun,. Carmel, according to the statements suffering from various diseases and that if he would come over to Can- ada the could do a lot of good." So Mr. Steinmetz came, bringing the daughter Elsie. After that, accord- ing to Mrs. Appleton, the three mem- bers of the Steinmetz family spent a ,ns4nth in the home of John Appleton. They were boarded and lodged free for treatments given to the :girl Elsie, in addition to being given one hundred dollars for the services of the Divine healer in Detroit. Asked as to why there had been a feeling of coldness growing up to- wards the Divine healer, Mrs. Ap- pleton declared, "He was a big eater, and kept us up to all hours of the night. He said he had to eat a lot, because his relations with the spirits took a lot out of him. Sometimes he would sleep half the forenoon and expect. me to get 'rim breakfast at any time, so I got tired waiting, on them hand and foot." Besides, it appears, there WAS some difficulty over the clothing which the Divine healer had suggested should be worn by the ,girl Elsie. "He wanted to dictate the kind of clothes she wore," Mrs. Appleton declares, "and he was even trying to parade her around the town wearing a .1riped Mark and white toque 1, advertise her and show just how he had made a cure." That, according to Mrs. Appleton. was too much for her. So the friend- ly relations of the Divine healer and Mrs, Appleton became strained, and the hauler left with his family to take up his residence with Mr. Thomas Appleton, 'a widower. At .the same time, Mrs. John Appleton de- clarea that "the Divine healer didn't do the girl a particle of good." There are others in Crediton, how- ever, who differ entirely. 'IThat was evidenced by the fact that when Mr. Steinmetz called his meeting to- gether Sunday afternoon, there were of citizens, has given a demonstra- tion of running up and down stops after receiving treatment, where be- fore she was crippled as a result of a motor accident, while 'a Mrs. John Simms declares that she has been cured of stomach trouble. The Divine healer gives his age as 50, though he appears many years younger. He is around five- foob-six, robust in build, with coal - MANLY Death of a Pioneer. — William Drager, one of the pioneer resident* of this district, passed away at Ids „ bane in Brodhagen on Saturday bent. atter an }!lass extending ever a year in his 70th year.
