NEW THOUGHT SESSION
CLOSES THIS EVENING
Last Meeting of Metaphysical Alliance
for the Summer at
Rauscher's.

The last session Of the New Thought
Metaphysical Alliance convention will be
held at o'clock tonight in Rauscher's 5.

the association disband for the summer
At o'clock this afternoon there was a
reception to delegates in the head
quarters of the local branch Of the asso-
citation in the Washington Loan and
Trust building.
Much interest has centered In the con>
vention, which opened in Rauscher's yes
terday afternoon.
While the local membership of the as
sCciation is comparatively small, its
scope is national and its teachings are
followed by adherents all over the
United States. 1t is in no sense an as
sociation formed for the purpose of
healing without medicine" but stands
as a Christian movement which recoC-
nizes that there are other factors in
the cure of disease. Its followers de-
clare that because one sees the potency
of mind in medicine one does not feel
called upon to deny the potency of mat
ter therein.
The president of the association is. DR.
Heber r. Newton, of New . ork The
president OF the local branch is Dr.
George f. Kicker, and the local secre-
tary is Miss Emma Gray. Meetings are
hclG every Sunday in Rauscher's from
November until May.
