faith alone. The Divine Healer preach
ed a sermon which was chiefly made
up OF cases cited in which he by faith
had performed miraculous cures.
Believers in this faith are poison
on medicine and the surgeons knife.

have perfect faith that he has, and. if
you are cripple, throw away your
crutches. arise and walk. If YOU can
mol do so, your faith is lame. The
Bible says plainly enough that you
can. Thy faith hath made thee
whole" Hundreds OF other passages
that say 50 were read by the gentle
man from the Bible.
Time and space-limit prevent Civ
ing anything like fair statement of
the different phases OF these advanced
lines OF science; but we desire to cite
one more point before proceeding with
the story of the lady.
We have been taught that when we
think, the thought is OF divine origin.
is spiritual, has to do with the soul,
comes from some mysterious inner
sense that is sacredly walled in Now
it comes about that certain men rise
up and declare that there is nothing
spiritual about thought; that it is
q mere physical operation, falling
easily within the field Of the five ami
nal senses. Their proofs sound the
death kneH of the so-called spiritual
forces, and cuts into the very vitals
Of metaphysics.
Quite recently Washington. d. c.,
scientist has applied for patent for
Thought Machine which will make
it possible to register and transmit
thought directly by mechanical means.
This discovery came about by some
meddlesolae photographers takirg a
picture of a thought You can not
see a thought with the naked eye
because it moves ia waves Of ether
that vlbrate over 700, 00e. 900 times to
the second of time
All sensations from the outer world
are vibrations, or waves. These
waves are carried to our brain center
by i've nerves OF special sense. These
five nerves are all the same and have
what might be called lend organs,
such as the retina of the eye, the hair
cells Of smell in the nose, the taste
buds OF the tongue, the Organ of
Corti in the inner ear and the Paci-
MAN corpuscles in the finger tips.
Ii the lend organ" in our nose was
located in our ear. we could hear with
it just as well as we can now smell
with it. These telephones to our
brain are all alike.
In photographing thought we find
that it comes in at the right hand and
passes cut at the left in most fright
handed) persons. The proof Of this is
simple. Take two sensitized plates
or films, place one at your right hand
and one at your left, and think a
thought" Then from the plates
develop two photographs. You viii
find that the vital fierce, vitality.
thought, or whatever you may choose
to call it, came through the film at
your right hand and passed out
through the one on your left, and
that the disturbed molecules of the
film at the right are huddled together
like shot going into a board, while
that on the left makes a picture like
scattered shots coming out of the
back of target. This proves, with
numerous other successful tests, that
thought is a mere flash of lightning
passing through US, too swiftly for
the retina Of the eye to catch.
Perhaps some of the HERALD's
younger readers do not understand
philosophy Of lights or coIors. All
things in the world are one color
some say two colors, black and white.
Strictly speaking, black and white
are not colors. When an object is
reflected on the eye it comes on waves
Of ether or air thrown from it to the
eve. Different objects throw these
wave lights fast or slow. II you look
at COW and her composition is such
as to throw 100000, 900 vibrations
each second to the eye, then the COW
will look red; and any Other object
that throws the same number Of vibra-
tions will look red. If the object cast
100000, geo vibrations per second, it
would look violet The violet light
