I had not been in the house but a short time before two men came in full of wrath & anger & brought a blind girl & demanded me to heal heal her & work a miracle that they might have a sign to make them believe. After telling them what the character was of tho se that sought signs one of them by the name of John Hadley brought much railing accusation against me & rejected my testi mony.
