• Blind people "healed" still blind
• Only minor afflictions, such as stomach troubles healed
• Crippled people falling to the ground after being "healed", carried away
• Pentecostalism claiming "spiritual significance" on the revival, due to its birth 40 years after the 1907 Azusa Street Revival
• Interesting case of Walker Beck, well-known healing failure in Vandalia, IL
• Branham pronouncing healing on Walker Beck, and claiming success because the boy was both mute and deaf and could say "da da"
