on the necessity for collecting all the cases
or injury from quack practices that are
known. Each local medical society was
urged to have its members on the alert for
such occurrences. Among the resolutions

VIEWS OF FAITH HEALING.
English Medical Authority Says I
Contains an Element Of Truth.

English MeQ1cal AuCnOr1ty says IL
Contains an Element Of Truth.
From the London Practitioner.
Though so many faith healers are i'm
posters - conscious or half conscious or
wholly self-deluded-the thing itself con-
tains an element Of truth to which the
medical profession, perhaps too obstinately,
closes it's eyes. The mechanism Of faith
healing Is the same wherever it works
whether at Epidaurus or at the famous
shrines Of India or Mecca or Lourdes or
st. Winifrides well-and whether it Is ex-
ercised by medicine men. marabouts, can
onized saints or Christian Scientists.
For the working Of what a great sur
geon has called the miracle of cure" by
faith proper selection of cases Is an es-
sential condition. Even Mrs. Eddy does
not profess to mend broken bones; in fact
she is shrewd enough to make no claim OF
healing power over diseases or injuries that
lie within the domain of surgery. 1t is in
the almost undiscovered country Of pathol-
ogy, where lie the dark places of nerve
disease-as to which the ignorance of sci
ence is but thinly disguised by such names
as hysteria and neurasthenia-that faith
healing finds its field Of operation.
Doubtless fmposture may be large ele-
ment in faith healing, but It is unquestion-
able that in the cure of certain kinds OF
diseases 1t represents the working OF real
force of which little is at present known.
Sir Benjamin Brodie wrought many mi
raculous'' cures in patients who had been
bedridden for years from supposed paraly-
sis of the limbs by simply bidding them get
up and walk. Charcot states that he often
sent patients to Lourdes whom he had not
himself been able to inspire with the requi-
site amount of faith.
Hypnotic suggestion. 80 far as 1t has any
effect in curing disease, Is form Of faith
healing. In all varieties of the process the
patient, in the words Of Macbeth's physi-
cians ministers to himself; 1t Is his faith
that makes him whole. The shrine of the
amulet, the priest or the doctor is but the
instrument that sets In motion force
which quickens iHto new life the nerve that
has ceased to convey the behests of the
will. Exactly the same mechanism Is seen
at work in cases of like character under
the operation Of fear or strong excitement
Of any kind.
There is q story in Herodotus of q kings
son who had been dumb since his birth
and who found his voice when he saw his
father about to be slain. Abernethy says
you may see person with govt who Is
almost unuable to move with pain, but
produce q shock on his nervous system
| by telling him that the house Is on fire
and he will scamper about like lamp
| lighter" And John Hunter states that
.'even tumors have yielded to the stroke OF
] a dead mans hand" In this way the un.
| speakable medicines of the middle ages may
! often have done good.

4. He shall not fail nor be discouraged,

God of our fathers, known OF old;
Lord of our far-hung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine;
Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
Lest We forget, lest We forget.
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard;
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord.

The Lesson.

When first these island gems came into
our possession. as part of the inheritance
which our Father has given to u.s. we
scarcely knew what TO do with them. Love
of dominion overtopped everything else
Then when we had grown little used to
thinking OF them as ours we began to
count our possessions. So much of cocoa
palm and royal palm browning the noun
tains with green plurnes for us to see when
we go upon a pleasure excursion to Porto
Rico; so much OF coffee plantations; so
many chances to make money in the sugar
business; so much tobacco; so much asphalt
tum and copper and salt: so much wealth
of fine needle work. embroidery and drawn
work. and hnely-woven hats from Cuba
so many fertile fields: so many opportuni-
ties to get curios cheap; so many new ways
of making money for those who have tried
everything else in this country and failed.

he had been there about a hundred years
another miner knocked at the door.
"You can't come in" said the gate

nights without falling into prospect
