Sunderland Daily Echo "SUNSHINE" SERVICE ENTHUSUASM The reopening of the "Sunshine" Service in the Victoria Hall last night was marked by a demonstration on the part of the thousands that gathered for the meeting which was unprecedented for an opening night of this popular service. Notwithstanding the attractions that the fine evening afforded a long queue gathered some time before the doors were opened at 6 o'clock, and sang hymns and sacred choruses with much fervour to wile away the waiting period. Hundreds were unable to gain admittance to the Hall. Charabanc parties from Bishop Auckland (where the speaker, Pastor Stephen Jeffreys, the Welsh Revivalist, had conducted a successful mission, and who is conducting a month's evangelistic and divine healing campaign in the Hall), and Horden, and visitors from outlying districts attended.
In the course of his address Pastor Jeffreys said the world needed a new revelation of Christ, Whose power was the same today as ever it had been. That had been demonstrated by the success that had marked the mission he (the Pastor) had conducted at Bishop Auckland, where in the course of five weeks 2,000 persons had been converted and the blind and sick healed of their infirmities. Spiritual blindness was the characteristic of the present age. The signs of the times pointed to the imminent second coming of Christ, Who was preparing a new race for His coming. "We stand on the threshold of a new dispensation," the Pastor said. The present dispensation was closing with the signs and wonders as set out in the Scriptures. That could not be understood unless the new revelation had been received. To be without God was to be without hope. Salvation through Jesus Christ made men and women new, it did not patch them up. When He saved men He separated them from the world. There were so many professing Christians after the beggarly elements of this world whose actions said that Jesus Christ had nothing to give them. There was a great crisis at hand. Christ was moving in the realm of the spiritual. This dispensation had to close as it began — with marvellous signs and wonders. The Pastor's appeal for converts at the close of the meeting was responded to by many all over the Hall. Sunderland Daily Echo PASTOR JEFFREYS IN SUNDERLAND. Pastor Stephen Jeffreys began his month's campaign of evangelistic and divine healing services in the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, last night with a purely revival type of service. There was an audience of about 400. The Welsh evangelist will "deal with the sick" as he expressed it, chiefly at his afternoon services. "God will work wonders in Sunderland," he said, "He is no respecter of persons." Then Pastor Jeffreys went on to describe a wonderful case of divine healing during his mission at Bishop Auckland some six months ago — the case of a young woman brought to the service on a stretcher. She was a ghastly sight, her vocal organs were paralysed, she hadn't spoken for three years, she had been fed through a tube for 15 months, and had a mask of scab on her face. At his service she was able to get up from her stretcher and to speak a little, the mask came off her face, and to-day she was going about giving her testimony for God. She was coming over to Sunderland some day to speak for him. GO IN FOR ETERNAL LIFE. "No matter how religious you are," he declared, "you must be made anew. Jesus did not come to give religion. He said I am come to give you life. .... Put your religion in the waste paper basket if you are not saved and go in for eternal life. There are some people who go to services to hear what kind of grammar the preacher has, to know how much eloquence he has. Well, thank God, I have more grace than grammar, more grace than Greek." Pastor Jeffreys takes a gloomy view of the state of the world. The world is getting worse, he thinks, it is getting into the condition which Jesus said it would be in when He would come, and the Pastor says he can expect Jesus to come at any moment. An address was given by the Rev. J. Adams, Vicar of Wall, Staffordshire, who described how he had benefited by divine healing under Pastor Jeffreys. Divine healing had put 30 years on to his life. The Vicar described, too, how when Pastor Jeffreys laid hands on him he also restored vision to a little girl's eye. One eye was missing, the socket was empty. After Pastor Jeffreys and his helpers had laid hands on her she had a brand new eye which matched the other one, and she was able to see with it. Sunderland Daily Echo MISSIONER'S MANY CONVERTS Scenes of fervent enthusiasm were witnessed again at Pastor Jeffrey's mission in the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, last night. There was the largest audience of the campaign so far, and the gallery had to be opened. Many more converts were made, and the missioner treated a large number of people suffering from various infirmities. "A mighty revival is sweeping Sunderland," said Pastor Jeffreys. "It is proving one of the most successful campaigns I have ever had. The blind are seeing, the lame walking, and the deaf hearing." There were instances yesterday in which cures were claimed to have been effected in all these types of cases by divine healing through the laying on of hands by Pastor Jeffreys. More patients than he could deal with came on to the platform and besieged the ante-room after the service. One case which he treated in the ante-room last night was typical of the evangelist's most successful cases. She was a young woman, Miss Evelyn Waddell, of 10 Silver Street, Murton. As a result of a fall in infancy she had suffered all her life from hip disease and had never been able to put the heel of one foot to the floor. The leg was undeveloped and she walked merely on the toe. Almost immediately Pastor Jeffreys took her head in his hands she appeared to go off in a swoon and lay back in the chair moaning and in a state of, apparently, semi-conscious upheaval. The Pastor repeatedly touched her with his hands, prayed over her and ejaculated expressions of praise and thanks to God. "Hallelujah," "Glorious," he exclaimed, "she's got it." It was a remarkable scene for two or three minutes. "Can you thank Him," he kept asking the patient in his excitement. She, poor girl, was in too disturbed a state to do more than gasp faintly, "Yes." Gradually, she came round and was able to stand up and put her deformed foot flat to the ground, and thus she walked round the room. It was the first time in her life, declared her sister who was with her, that she had been able to walk with her heel to the ground. The sister was beside herself with joy and the scene was a most touching one as the two sisters and the Missioner spontaneously embraced each other in their joy and gratitude. Sunderland Daily Echo A SWEEPING REVIVAL AND DIVINE HEALING, Shields Daily Gazette DIVINE HEALING At a Divine healing service conducted by Pastor Stephen Jeffreys, the well-known Welsh revivalist in the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, yesterday, a large number of people attended for treatment. A woman who stated that she had been deaf for 47 years announced her ability to hear, and a girl who was said to have been unable to walk for several years, was able to leave her invalid bed and walk off the platform without assistance. Another patient stated that she had regained the use of her right hand that had been useless for years because of rheumatism. Scenes of remarkable enthusiasm were witnessed. One woman, who had a little blind girl with her, was very insistent that the girl should be treated, and though the Pastor had finished his work for the afternoon he took the mother and child into an ante-room and there laid his hands on the girl, whose sight was stated to have been immediately restored. Sunderland Daily Echo LIKE WAITING HALL OF HOSPITAL. Every available part of the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, was filled for the evangelistic and Divine healing service conducted by Pastor Stephen Jeffreys, last night, and the proceedings were marked by unrestrained fervour. About 50 men, women, and children suffering from all kinds of infirmities, were assembled on the platform an hour before the Pastor appeared, waiting for the laying-on of hands. A number of invalids in bath chairs were also brought in. The place resembled the waiting hall of a large hospital, all being animated by a hopefulness and expectancy that was reflected in the heartiness with which they joined in the singing of hymns before the service began. The meeting opened with several testimonials from girls who had been cured of afflictions during the Pastor's mission in Bishop Auckland. One who said she had suffered from a spinal complaint for 10 years and could not walk was Divinely healed, and the only evidence of the disease now was a slight limp. After being cured, she declared, she went home, and taking a clothes line skipped for half and hour. Another instance was that of deafness for 28 years being cured. As the result of an accident another was declared by doctors a life-long cripple, but was instantaneously healed by the ministry of the Pastor. These testimonies were received by the audience with tumultuous applause. A girl who was carried on the platform at Tuesday's meeting with a complication of diseases also walked on to the platform and testified to the cure that was continuing in her case. Pastor Jeffrey's Belief. Marvellous secrets were being revealed to those who to-day followed Christ, said Pastor Jeffreys. He believed the greatest tribulation the world had ever known was coming. God was calling His Church to get ready, to separate herself from the world. He had received a Divine command, and was fighting time by running up and down the country warning people that the Master might come at any moment. He might be preaching there and suddenly hundreds of seats might be emptied, the people being "caught up" to their Lord. The world was waiting for a leader, a strong leader, to lead the masses. The world had rejected Christ, and Anti-Christ was coming. The world would get its leader. Would they have him? Yes! Christ would also come and lead his people, and take His Church out of this world into a place of safety. Then He would come back to set up His kingdom. The laying-on of hands by the Pastor, assisted by the Rev. J. Adams (Vicar of Wall, Staffs), followed. A woman paralyzed for 18 years declared herself cured. A blind woman received her sight, a young girl was reported cured of paralysis in the left arm and leg, a woman was healed of paralysis in the hands, while cases of deafness and various minor ailments were treated in quick succession, all patients declaring themselves healed. Sunderland Daily Echo AROUND THE CHURCHES. Great interest has been aroused in Sunderland this week by the cures reported to have been effected by "Divine healing" through the laying on of hands by Pastor Stephen Jeffreys at his mission services in the Victoria Hall. ————
Two correspondents wrote to the "Daily Echo" two days ago asking for the names and addresses to be given by the Pastor of some of the people who have been cured. This Pastor Jeffreys very readily does through the "Daily Echo," whose representative interviewed him yesterday. The evangelist regrets he is not able to give the name and address of the child who received a new eye in what was previously an empty socket, a case which was described by the Rev. J. Adams, Vicar of Wall, Staffs, "I have hundreds of cases come to me during one mission," he said, "and you can readily understand that it is not possible for me to keep a record of all of them. However, I can give you many other names and addresses of cases just as remarkable, together with the testimony of the people themselves as to their healing. It is not my testimony; it is their own." ————
Pastor Jeffreys produced many photographs sent him by people healed at his touch. One showed Mrs B. Thorp, of Little Coates, Grimsby, as she lay in her spinal carriage, wearing dark glasses, and looking ill. Another was of the same lady, taken four days after healing at Pastor Jeffreys's service, showing her standing and looking quite well. Another picture was of a boy, Lawrence Leaver, of 18 New Row, Eldon, Bishop Auckland. This boy, said the Pastor, was born with a blind eye. He was healed, and the photograph certainly showed him to have two bright sparkling eyes. ————
Another was of Miss Mildred Hughes, of Bishop Auckland, who had spent 40 weeks in and out of hospital at Durham and Newcastle. "I can now testify," she had written on the postcard, "to being healed by the Pastor through the Lord Jesus Christ." ————
Mrs Stead, of Northumberland House, West Auckland, has given her testimony at Pastor Jeffreys's services this week. Six years ago she had a serious motor accident which left her with an injured spine and bruised stomach. After eight months she was able to be moved to Newcastle Infirmary, but after six months treatment she was discharged, being told that only a miracle would make her walk again by herself. "That miracle occurred," she says in her written testimony, "through the power of Jesus Christ when I visited Pastor Jeffreys's most wonderful revival meetings at the Town Hall at Bishop Auckland in March, 1927." ————
When asked to explain how such results are brought about, the Pastor replied, "I only believe the Word of God. I never say I can heal anyone, but I say the Word of God stands. It is His Word that is taken, not mine. I take him at His word. I know I have been baptised with the Holy Ghost, and that is the outfit for preaching the Gospel and healing the sick — the baptism of the Holy Ghost, according to the Word of God." ————
When it was pointed out to the Pastor that he seemed alone in being able to exercise a special gift of healing, he replied that there were many others throughout the world doing the same thing. "Some of us are more prominent than others," he said, but he also pointed out that not all the Apostles of Christ were equally well equipped to perform miracles. "Do you regard these as miracles, then," he was asked. "I do regard them as miracles," he answered. "There is healing by faith and healing by faith recorded in the Word of God." "You explain it purely on Gospel lines?" "Yes," replied Pastor Jeffreys, and referred his interviewer to Mark XVI., which says, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name they will cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." "It is not animal magnetism or hypnotism which causes the cures," he was asked. "I don't know anything about those things at all," replied the Pastor. "I only know the Lord Jesus Christ equipped me with power to preach the Gospel. I remember His word and expect Him to fulfil it, and He does it." The Evening Chronicle FAITH HEALING "CURES."
Many sufferers from various infirmities yesterday sought the aid of Pastor Stephen Jeffreys, the Welsh evangelist, whose divine faith healing services are attracting large audiences to the Victoria Hall, Sunderland. At the afternoon gathering a little boy, blind in one eye, stated that the sight had been restored to his afflicted eye after the pastor had laid hands upon him and prayed. Several men and women also claimed that they had been cured of rheumatism and walked unaided from the platform. Sunderland Daily Echo REVIVAL SERVICES. The end of the second week of the month's revival services being conducted by Pastor Stephen Jeffreys in the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, was marked by many unusual features. The hall has been crowded twice daily, while there has been such a demand for admittance by thousands for whom there was no accommodation that mounted police have been used to clear the streets around the hall. Queues have begun to form as early as nine o'clock in the morning, bringing stools and boxes for seats and taking their lunch there to be ready for the afternoon meeting at 3.0, and the hall has been besieged by the sick and crippled for the purpose of the laying-on of hands by the Pastor. Many testimonies have been given by men and women to being healed of various diseases. The converts, which include a large proportion of young men, made to date are upwards of 1,000. More than 1,000 attended the Communion service on Sunday morning. Pastor Jeffreys addressed the Sunshine Service last night. Alderman S. M. Swan presided. In an address based on the parable of the Prodigal Son, Pastor Jeffreys said the spirit of the age was loose and lawless; disobedience to parents was ruining the homes of the land, and impurity, intemperence and gambling were eating into the vitals of the youth of the nation. As one who had seen the dangers of young life he warned them of the terrible consequences, and that unless God took hold of them and gave them a new heart they would end on the scrap heap of humanity. Sunderland Daily Echo PASTOR JEFFREYS'S MISSION One of the most impressive services of Pastor Jeffreys's mission was held in the Victoria Hall on Sunday morning when the majority of the 2,500 converts made during the campaign attended a Communion service. Pastor Jeffreys was the speaker at the Sunshine Service last night. Mr W. Pitt Walker presided, with Coun. S. H. Potts leading the singing. Mr Jack Elliott was soloist,the piano accompanists being Mrs S. H. Potts and Pastor Dorling. Mr Ernest Pickering presided at the organ. The Pastor, who was received with a remarkable demonstration of popular favour, said there was no human cure for sin. Reformation might be tried by joining a church or trying to make the best of life, but only the way of salvation as declared by Jesus Christ could give a change of heart. While he appreciated the work of the churches, the need of England to-day was for prophets of God to bring conviction to the people of their necessity for a spiritual revelation which would bring the power of God to bear upon the life of the nation. If the young people who had accepted salvation in the revival campaign he was conducting were to witness boldly for Christ their influence would have wonderful results. Sunderland Daily Echo FAITH HEALING. Preaching in Bishopwearmouth Parish Church yesterday morning Preb. A. B. Wynne Willson took for his subject "Faith Healing," his remarks including some interesting references to the visit of Pastor Stephen Jeffreys, whose services in the Victoria Hall during the past few weeks have attracted considerable notice in the Borough and district. ———— Preb. Wynne Willson, whose text was Isaiah xxx, 15 ("For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel .... in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength."), said that Sunderland had just experienced a flood of excitement occasioned by a visit of a faith healer. Since this healing was connected with religion, religious leaders were bound to give it the gravest consideration. Being incapacitated from standing in a waiting crowd he had not visited the Victoria Hall, but he had had a long talk with the healer in company with three ministers. They found themselves in the presence of a man of forceful personality, considerable self-command, and thoroughly convinced his mission to heal, was a direct inspiration from God. In addition to this he claimed to have received a voice of warning to foretell Christ's impending return and a revelation to act upon it, to have the gift of tongues, and to be able to cast out devils. They were told that if the clergy had been baptized with the Spirit they could do the same things that he does, and he appeared to pity them because they work on in the strength of quietness and confidence doing the daily work of the Church. In preaching the impending return of the Lord he ignored the Saviour's own words "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath set in his own authority," and in stating that every minister could heal he contravened St. Paul's teaching that the gifts of the Spirit are variously apportioned (Cor, xiii, 8-11). CONSIDERABLE POWERS As a revivalist preacher he had considerable powers and was able to sway audiences and produce religious excitement. This excitement was essential to his methods. When asked if he would find the same opportunity for healing in the quietude of the sick chamber, the reply was that he got a better atmosphere in the Victoria Hall. On the other hand, Christ constantly opposed noise and excitement as the accompaniments of his work, and his efforts were directed to the suppression of emotional and hysterical environment. Why, almost without exception, had responsible ministers not supported the healer? It was not popularity they were called upon to seek. They must work according to their conception of the New Testament read and pondered as a whole. The limelight and the stage were alluring, but the daylight and the day's work done in the strength of quietness and confidence were better. The end did not justify the means, and on sincere leaders there was a grave responsibility in the choice of the means adopted in the achievement of ends, however good the ends might be. It was this consideration of the means — in this case the creating of an atmosphere charged with excitement — which compelled him to conclude that the results where obtained were due to causes that are well-known and are being used with increasing effect and admirable self-restraint by doctors as the mysterious relation between mind and body is becoming more clearly understood. As the Bishop of Durham has said in his "Notes on Spiritual Healing," 'The faith-healer's power is probably far more widely distributed than is commonly suspected." The power is that of suggestion accompanied in some cases by a capacity to hypnotize. This is the power that the healer has been using. PUBLIC SUSCEPTIBILITY. The careful proclamation of his successes as the "world renowned faith healer" produced popular belief in him and trust in his powers. Then in order to foment a ready susceptibility to suggestion the divine claims were put forward, and the revivalist preaching used. These combined to produce in the patient and audience expectation of results, which was essential for the success of suggestion. Repetitive singing kept expectation at fever heat. The laying on of hands differed from that indicated in the New Testament. The latter was a quiet and confident action, but the other was spasmodic and forceful, designed to produce an hypnotic effect. The means employed at the Victoria Hall involved more than this. The healer came before them as the channel of the very power of God. When suggestion had been successful he quite rightly gave God the glory, for his result was due to the natural law of the supremacy of mind over matter, which had its origin in the mind of God revealed by scientific research. Where he failed he asserted either that the patient had not sufficient faith, or, more daringly, that God did not will to heal in that case. It was this claim to universality of power that was so dangerous. It gave a false idea of God, and led the healer into assertions about God and about the patient that no one who fell short of omniscience should dare to make. A promise was made in God's name, and in numberless cases it was not fulfilled. It was this pledging of God's action without limit that was the serious error in the faith-healer's method. It presented God as arbitrary, and the disappointed went away with faith destroyed. A DEEP CONVICTION.
The fact that he (the preacher) a constant sufferer, passionately desirous of relief, and often urged to seek it at the healer's hands, had refrained from doing so, showed how deeply he was convinced that the healer's methods are contrary to the quiet confidence in the providence of God on which the stability of the Christian faith rests. He believed in the words of the Bishop of Durham that —
They knew that they were doing the work of the good Samaritan in supporting hospitals and infirmaries, that the patient labours there were the result of the following of the spirit of truth, and that the hope of mankind at large of being relieved from bodily ailments depends upon the unceasing toil of those splendid seekers after truth — the men of science. This hope was seriously weakened when the credulous were taught that the hope of mankind lies in instantaneous healings. Visualize, he said, the excited scenes in the Victoria Hall, and contrast them with the quiet, confident, compassionate work at the Royal Infirmary, and it is evident where the mind of Christ is more nearly represented. He asked them in forming their opinions of what had taken place to remember the disappointed victims of overweening claims. It was not loss of faith that had caused the Church to cease to look for miracles, but rather a deep hold on the lesson of the Incarnation. The Son of Man set his face to meet life courageously, confident in His Father's guidance and love. He refused to heal the pangs of hunger by creating bread, and refused to escape the cup of suffering. St. Paul suffered from the "thorn in the flesh," but sought no instantaneous healing from Peter and John. Some diseases were undoubtedly amenable to cure by suggestion, but not all. He appealed to his fellow citizens who claimed to have received benefit from the healer, that they would calmly revue what had happened to them, in describing it to avoid exaggerations, and if they urged other people to seek the healer to say that he may, and not that he will be able to benefit them. Sunderland Daily Echo BROKEN FAMILY ALTARS. The month's mission conducted by Pastor Stephen Jeffreys in the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, was brought to a close yesterday, amid scenes that have had no parallel in any religious revival services held in the town. The last address given by the Pastor at the "Sunshine" service last night closed with remarkable enthusiasm, the huge audience standing and singing, "God be with you till we meet again." Upon leaving the hall the Pastor was besieged by the crowd which had followed him cheering into Borough Road. 3,500 Converts in Month. In his address Pastor Jeffreys said before God could do anything there must be a preparing of the altar. Where were the family altars of England? They were broken down. Parents were raising children who were spending their youth in gambling, dancing and unclean living. The world was drifting, driven by Satanic powers, into universal ungodliness. The world's need was for Elijahs to pray the power of God down upon the hearts of men. Some idea of the magnitude of the revival may be gauged by the fact that 3,500 converts have passed through the inquiry rooms, many hundreds have attended for healing, and nearly 14,000 hymn books have been sold. There has been an average of over 3,000 persons at each of the twice daily services held by the Pastor. Sunderland Daily Echo MISSION CONVERTS. The opening assembly for the converts made during the mission held by Pastor Stephen Jeffreys in the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, took place in the large hall of the Pottery Buildings last night. Many people gathered at the doors before noon, so great was the interest displayed in the initial meeting, and a large number had to be turned away through lack of accommodation. Pastor Hubert Entwisle, who has been appointed to take charge of the Assembly and who has been transferred from Bishop Auckland, where his ministry has won considerable success, conducted the service. Councillor S. H. Potts and Mrs Potts, and Mr and Mrs Paul Wayman, and Mr J. Kennedy supported the Pastor. Coun. Potts welcomed Pastor Entwisle to Sunderland. He was glad that the building, which was dedicated to the service of God many years ago, was coming into its own. If those present stood by the Pastor during the week-day meetings in the strength and enthusiasm in which they had met that night the success of the mission was assured. Pastor Entwisle preceded his address by explaining the object of the gathering and the methods necessary to make it as successful in Sunderland as it had been made in various parts of he country. He believed in faith and Divine power to ensure that success, but he did not believe in fanaticism. Forty Evangelists. In eight months their assembly had sent out 40 evangelists all over the country, and thousands of converts had rewarded their labours. The greatest honour those present could pay to Pastor Jeffreys was to reconsecrate themselves to God that night. The Pastor was received with acclamation, and the proceedings were marked by great fervour and reverence. A number of new converts were made at the close of the meeting.
