s WEEPS j. s.
AND EUROPE
RELIGION, MEDICINE AND SCI.
ENCE. JOINED IN "EMMANUEL
MOVEMENT" WORlD-FAMOUS
MEN SPREAD ITS DOCTRINES.

medicine and psychology have joined
hands in forming new faith-a new
religion that is sweeping this country
from one end To the other, having for
; its purpose the cure of bodily ills OF
men and women through the methods
used by Christ
They call it new faith. but it re-
verts back to the days when Jesus
Christ walked the earth healing the
sick, raising the dead-performing the
miracles that have gone down into
history and have made His name
blessed among men.
In this movement the church, SCI
ence anu sociology have joined hands,
each giving its best to the cause. each
helping toward better day-each
correcting the errors OF the other, un-
I'll of the whole is born a new cult, a
new school of curing by faith and
right living.
The birth of this movement In Am
erica was in Boston, where 1t was
fathered by the Rev. DR.. Elwood Wor-
cester, pastor. OF Emmanuel church.
from which it got It's name, The EN-
manuel Movement" That was three
years ago. but since then its dogmas
have spread so widely, have been SO
appealing to men and women OF intel
lieence that it has called TO its ranks
the RI. Rev. Samuel Fallows, head OF
the Reformed Episcopal Church in
America, at Chicago; Rev. DR.. Hugh
Birckhead, pastor of wealthy st.
Georges. in New York; Rev. Dr. Lor-
ing w. Batten, of st. Marks. in New
York; the Rev. Lyman r. Powell, rec

the hundreds throughout the length
and breadth of the land. either as
practitioners or postulants.
In the scientific world it has enroll
ed such men as the famed Dubois, OF
Berne; Jastrow, OF the University of
Wisconsin; Peterson, Of Columbia;
jackson, of the Harvard Medical
school; Royce, Harvards professor OF
philosophy; Woodwork, Columbias
psychologist: Southland. the neurolo-

as Coriat, of the Boston City hospital;

Boston; s. Weir Mitchell. OF Philadel.
phia, and a host of men equally dis
tinguished in their fields Of endeayor.
Today clinics are held where the
sufferings of many are removed or
lessened, and many made whole
again. There is one such in Chicago,
where Bishop Fallows in person con.
ducts the cures; another in New
York city, where Or. Batten does this
service: a third and most important
one In Boston, where DR.. Elwood
Worcester. in the two years Of his
practice, has cured thousands.
To the man or woman inQuisitive as
TO the class Of people to whom this
new faith appeals. the answer is; 1t
appeals first to those who have lost
hope in medicines; second, to those
whose have lost hope In religion
third to those who have lost
hope in social conditions-for
the basis OF the cult is Christian
in its fullest sense-that is, faith In
religion, which is OF God faith In
medicine. which is natures curative
agency, and faith In man through the
soul within him.
Ii teaches a man that IL his relig.
ion-that is, his morals-are bad, his
health must be bad; that where his
morals need a cure no physician alone
can accomplish II without the aid of a
physician OF the church to direct the
patient in the immediate moral path
way that he should pursue.
Then, too, these two physicians
agree that betimes there Is need OF
the services OF q third man schooled
In Psychology man who knows the
soul OF the man of today with relation
To Its immediate atmosphere the
thoughts II thinks. the ideas II ger
inmates, the suggestions it receives
from the environment of home, com
panions, business and aspirations
To formulate these ideas into
working force there has been founded
by Bishop Fallows and the men who
have joined him a concerted move
ment, having qualifications in every
part or the United States and In
France and German and England.
This organization is called THE
League Of Right Living"
1t Is a comprehensive organization
of teachers and students-the former
men most able In pulpit and science
hall; Its students men OF equal cru
dition and position, but lacking for the
moment In the Immediate sciences
having to do with the new school OF
curing and needing education in it's
application to the peoples and affairs
of today.
There is a well-devised plan of
work, which is divided into four
heads:
First, to educate the members In the
principles OF psycho-therapy to the
end that they may broaden and deep
en- their mental life; throw off the
tendency TO nervous weakness and dis
orders, and discover and call out their
unused and latent energies. Second,
TO help members and others to obtain
the benefits Of church clinics and 9TH

aid physicians, clergymen, parents.
nurses, teachers and social work.
