Vouchee William Gray, of Palouse City, who Is in Walla Walla undergoing medical treatment, recently told the Statesman, of Walla Walla the story of Ethel Gill iam, a girl who lives with bet- parents 10 miles east of Palouse. The family is poor, but honest and reliable, the par ents being devout members of the Meth odist Episcopal church. Last August this little girl was taken ill, and after three weeks, apparently died, so the story runs, For three hours she had every appearance of death. She then slowly revived, but was totally blind. She told her parents that she had been in heaven and had seen Jesus and the angels and many friends who .bad gone before. There she saw a tree of lifts a n r! A tSttov rtf lifa TKavA wtawa little children in the tree eating the fruit, Each inhabitant wore a crown bearing bis or her name. The little girl saw a crown with her name on it, hang ing up, and reached for it, but Jesus told her she could not have it yet, but that she would have to go back to- earth and fulfill ber mission. He wanted ber to teach his peple. Although blind this girl can read by passing her hand over the printed or written page, and can describe persons whose pictures were 'banded to her. . The latter power was first discovered by J. B. Cawtborn, a photographer, whose mother lives in Walla Walla. He told the marvelous story to a Sunday school in Palouse City, and Mr, Gray and wife, hearing it, drove out to the home of the girl to see for themselves. Mr. Gray first handed the sick girl his watch, and she told him that it was a gold watch, and the time of day, by passing' her angers over the glass. To make sure that her power was genuine, a paper LAU V.- V. t 1 i 1 graph that Mr. Gary handed to her, and she descibed the picture perfectly as that of an old gentleman with gray whiskers, wearing a dark suit and cra vat. She read from books and papers handed to her by the use of her fingers. Mr and Mrs. Gray tell many other wonderful things in relation to this child. She has now beea ill 100 days, " and has not .been able to digest any food. As references for the truth of the story Mr. Gray gave the names of Rev. A. T. Skee. Dastor of the 8. M. TZ. rhnreh. nf Palouse; Rev. J. G. Kerrick. of La Grande, Or. ; H. A. Gray, Thomas Cox and J. B.
