LEPROSY CURED.

IN a recent number of the Harbinger (Christian) is a report of the corresponding secretary of the Foreign Mission Society, including a letter from Dr. Durand, of India. The particular locality is not given, but the letter makes the following statement, which is too indefinite as to means used and the form of the disease cured to be of any worth:—
"The first leper, who was received for treatment and support January 20, an old man, who, I thought, would die very soon, as his disease was making rapid progress, is discharged to-day to all appearances entirely well. He has confessed the Lord, and I baptized him to-day. He is to go to his village to-morrow and tell his people of his recovery and of the Saviour. A second leper, admitted about a month ago, was baptized to-day also. This man is not entirely well yet, but is improving rapidly. The medical work is increasing and prospering as never before."
