lectuTed in this city sent my books
and writings broadcast all over the world
trying to impress upon the thoughts OF
all these people and these managers Of
the great churches, that this Truth was
truth which all could prove and was
something that they must take hold Of

lS true that we have thousands OF stu
dents from far-aWay South Africa. Tas-
mania, Australia, CeylOn, India, China.
Japan, and in the islands Of the sea, on
every continent in the world, and that
these little centers are each growing
broader and wider all the time; yet IN
our lmpauence We are led to cry in the
anguish or our heart, as our SaviOus

The position Of DR.. Worcester and the
Episcopalans behind him is one having

healing. but that all healing is done I'm

therapeutics, or mind treatment. This
We prove daily is not true; but. on the
contrary the healing comes direct from
God Almighty. They are in error again
where they say that organic diseases
shall not he treated. for we prove by our
work constantly that organic diseases
can be healed by the same power that
the simplest diseases in the world are
healed

the healer then there is nothing that He
cannot do. because His power Is Omni-

Why. I ask, is it that the New Thought
