DEFENCE OF MIND CURE.
DR.. Pmkhmst Not in Faror Of
Christian Science, HO1CeUcr.

The miracle of the withered arm served as
the text for Dr.. Parhhurst's sermon at the
Madison Square Presbyterian Church yester-
DAY morning. Tie text, according TO Matthew
xii 10. reads; Then saith he to the man. STREE n
forth thine hand. And he stretched ii forth;
and it was restored whole. like as the other"
The fact that although the withered condition
of the mans hand would seem TO have prevented
his being able to stretch it forth, he neverthe-
less did SO when commanded, indicated, DR..
Parkhurst Thought. that the cure was an ex-
ample of those which are occasionally made by
mental suggestion, and that the hand at
least partly cured IL the act of stretching It
forth. But Dr. Parkhurst was careful to dis
claim sympathy with the cause of Christian
Science. He said in part:
There Is in our day an increasing recognition
Of the power of mind over matter. particularly
the power Of mind over our physical condition by
which it IS not TO be understood that the mind
actually increases the amount of power already
III the body, but that II can effectively appeal 10
some Of the power already existing there bur
holding itself in reserve. And YOU are aware, l
suppose, that not only the laity but the mem
bers of the medical profession themselves are
more and more working through mental intiu-
ence with a proportional distrust Of traditional
indictments.
There is only one instance so far as renerl-
Der mentioned in all of Scripture where the old
school style OF practitioner seems to have done
ANYTHING for his patient and elsewhere the ira
ditional methods of the profession are uniformly
treated with skepticism amountin~ TO rank uu-
belief.
Without laying too much stress on that fact, It
is al least Suggestive; and while not claiming
that quite able yet TO live up TO the
standard of the Bible In physics any more than
in ethics it is at any rate u line along which il
is prudent for TO think And a great many
people thinking there, especially as It is IN
contestably the case that diseases as difficult as
any that the modern expert in pills and pow
ders is called on to treat have been, and are
being, cured without resort To such eXpedients.
This of course, does not excuse the Stiffness.

C1LLS CLERGY SERTILE.


Speaking The Service of the Preacher TO
His Age" and in answer to the question Shall
the Pulpit BE Free" DR.. Stephen s Wise. who
gave the second OF the addresses Yesterday
morning. al the Hudson Theatre preliminary to
the founding Of the Free Synagogue. said In
part.
The preacher Of every age is in peril OF de-
generating into a mere social appendage. some
thing between an agreeable social convenience
such as Is the chauffeur and Il stern social nc
cessty such as IS a policeman An over-pastor-
lied congregation, Ike Pasteurized milk is
likely TO be safe but likeier still to be weak and
Intellectual Formerly, has been well said
the prophets were stoned or burnt: now they are
dined and cOddled into silence. because they are
not prophets. The preacher must at every cost.
If he respects himself and honors his calling
avoid the danger of becoming what Emerson
calls n ward and pensioner .of the so-called
producing classes"
II is ever the highest duty of the preacher as
"A truth seeker to lead his congregation from the
half truths however tenaciously 1t cling TO them
10 me larger, fuller truth really belonging to it,.
though by 1t unrecogniZed and unclaimed. II
Is not enough that the preacher be a truth seeker
in his study; he must be the truth speaker in
his pulpit Truth Is not ike dynamitc-so dan
gerOus to handle that II must be dealt with gin
gerry and fearfully.
The assumption Of the Church and the world
alike that the pulpit IS to dole out truth in
microscopic portions suited TO the limited diges-
tive power of men Is responsible for the multi
piled concealments and evasions and subter-
fuges which make the Church a thing of lies in
stead Of the guardian of nvolablc truth
Woe TO the man who thinks to preach right
eOusness and yet for many reasons Willingly
Withholds the truth from those to whom he
ministers; who, TO avoid the minor hcresv of a
day against his church creed is guilty Of the
major heresy against ornamental truth. In
answer 10 the advocates and practicers of the
art Of intellectual tight rope dancing In the
churches say that the time viii come when
the world, If not the Church VIII try a man for
the heresy Of concealing, not revealing truth
II Is anomalous and regrettable that the
preacher Of truth and righteousness must stand
in the position Of a hirelng, that he must accent
pay at the hands Of those he serves
Most vociferous If not more numerous among
those who would divorce the pulpit from politics
are such as are moved by seIf-interest to at
tempt To silence the pulpit, lest il interfere with
their own nefarious schemes TO wrong and to
loot city or state nation.

PROTEST IN BROOKLYN.
Roman Catholics in Big Meeting De-
nounce French action.

More than three thousand men attended the meet
ing of protest against the action OF the French
government in connection with the Roman Catholic
street and GaIIatn Place, Brooklyn last night. The
meeting was one of the most enthusiastic gather
ings ever seen in Brooklyn. Police lines had 10 be
established two hundred feet either side of the
theatre to control the hundreds who unable
to gain admission. Bishop Mcdonnell and nearly
every Roman Catholic clergyman of prominence in
Brooklyn were present, and addresses were made
by Supreme Court Justices Kelly and Carr William
a Prendergast Patrick Callahan, of the Corpora
ton CounseTs office. and Joseph Z. Keany.
Justice Kelly acted as chairman. He said in his
opening remarks:
We must look with affection upon France who
friend and ally IN the dark days Of the
Revolution. hut must protest against the out
rage committed by a set of who assume to
dictate the actions % the conscience Of their fell
IOymen. Il is incorceivable that the inaliccab!e
rights of any be taken from him by

the Catholic Church, and If they found
suitable for their duties the government shall name
their successors and appoint those who snan Off

II. BRAND deals with the question of assuring
pastoral succession. which, be thinks, can best
be attained by the formation of common law

also points out that in case Of q clergyman leav-

the common law to cede the lease to a third
party, with the consent of the lessor, provided
The contract does not stipulate to the contrary.

that any legal clause may be inserted by mutual

SAYS LIBERTY IS NOT THREATENED
Professor BRAGG, of VaSsar, Thinks French
Church Law Good

Professor Jean CharlemaGne Brace, professor Of
Romance languages IN Nassar College, speaking
before the members OF the Society Of Ethical Cult
arc in Carnegie Hall yesterday morning, discussed
1T length the religious situation IN France.
Frankly describing himself d Protestant. the
speaker declared himself representing no re-
ligious phase Of the matter. but speaking for re-
luhlicanism and liberty in his native land. on the
whole. he thought the present French religious
law to be good. making for the best, though i'm
perfect. He did not clearly, however. where
any great Improvement could be made.
If The liberty of the Roman Catholics in France
threatened SAID DR.. BRAGG. at the start. Il
should bc the first TO raise my voice IN behalf Of
1he defence of that liberty and not only of the
Roman Catholics. but of airy faith, for it is my
belief that every human being possesses the liberty
- being religious non-Teligious, as he may
choose and prefer. Religious liberty is the liberty
that ought least to be curtailed"
