The religious faith healer show comes to town in Smallsville Alabama, preaching about the glory of God, the healing power of true faith and the mystical powers of the charismatic Reverend Smith. The whole town is excited and everyone wants to go to the show. Come the big night, the marquee is full to bursting, everyone has paid their $5 and the atmosphere is electric. The Rev Smith comes on stage amidst a brilliant light show and works the crowd up into a frenzy.
“Do you believe in the healing power of the Lord “? He shouts. Yes shouts the crowd. “The lord cannot hear you, do you truly believe “ yes they shout even louder. This goes on for some time until the crowd are all standing and swaying, singing glory hallelujah. Finally the Rev calls for quiet. “Is there any one worthy here that needs healing “? He asks. This guy with a pair of crutches shuffled up on stage. “What’s your name boy”? Roger he replied. “What ails you son”? I was struck by paralysis in my legs ten years ago and have been on crutches ever since. The doctors done nothing. “Do you believe in the healing power of the lord and my God given gifts of healing”? I do sir. “Go behind the curtain Roger and I will heal you. Is there anyone else”? Another guy walks up to the stage. “What’s your name son”? Gggtim. “Jim”? Nuh, Ggtim. “If it’s not Jim is it Tim”? Yigth. “Is that yes”? Yigth. “We’ll that’s some speech impediment you have there Tim. Do you believe in the healing power of the lord and my god given gifts of healing”? Yigth. “Go behind the curtain Tim and you will be healed.
The two unfortunates are now behind the curtain and the Rev Smith whips up the crowd even more. Pretty girls are passing round collection plates for more money to help heal Roger and Tim. Finally the lights go down save for a single spotlight on the Rev. There’s not a sound but the atmosphere is electric.
