Curing by Faith,

The knowledge that the faith cure"
has risen to the dignity of a ~.'craze''
in Boston, the reputed center of occi-
dental civilization, is calculated to ex-
cite a smile throughout the country.
The whole idea seems at first incon-
gruous; we associate it inevitably with
the ignorance and superstition of a
past age, with charlatanry, street
corner quacks, spirit healels, sacred
relics, and the working of miracles by
prayer. But Boston is mot alone in the
present enjoyment of this craze A
wave of healing faith seems to be pass
ing over the whole country, and IN
England such wonderful cures are re-
ported to have been effected by the
Salvation Army people that there
actually has been talk in high circles
of aftiliating this fantastic organization
with the Established Church. Thou
sands have flocked into halls there to
be prayed for, and the lame, the para
lytic, the deaf, and sufferers from a
myriad other real or imagined diseases,
have gone away believing themselves
cured.
These displays Of credulity are not.
perhaps, surprising. In one respect
they are the natural outgrowth of the
Christian faith. Logically, there is no
reason why the man or woman who
believes in the divine interposition IN
