MENTAL HEALING EXPERIMENT.
Initiated and Carried OH With the
Help OF Leading Neurologists.
BY the Rev. Samuel McComb.

An interesting and, it is believed,
fruitful experiment has been going on
IN connection with Emmanuel church.
Boston. The church is Protestant
Episcopal. but the work it is seeking
to do is human and universal, know
ing no distinction of creed or social
station. This effort may be described
as an attempt to weld into friendly
alliance the most progressive neuro-
logical knowledge Of the schools and
a primitive New Testament Christian
ity as scholarship has disclosed it.,
with view to the relief of human suf-
fering and the Transformation of hu-
man character.
In the first place the effort is sci
entific. 1t was initiated with the ap-
proval of some of the leading neuro-
logists Of New England and has been
carried on not without their advice
and cooperation. Hence it differs
from the various Mountaineering cults
by freely acknowledging that If the
mind exercises a profound influence
over the body, the body no less really
affects the mind. This commonplace
Is ignored by the quasi-theosophicaI
systems at present in vogue. and men
and women are treated as IL they
were disembodied spirits, instead of
beings, as they really are, very much
at the mercy Of physiological pro-
cesses. We distinguish, then, with
science between Organic" and "func-
tiona" disorders. and We believe that
the legitimate sphere for moral and
psychical methods is that of the
functional" not the organic" though
even in the latter they are a valuable
adjunct inasmuch as they tend to
strengthen the resistive powers Of the
patient against the pathological causes
at work. We do not agree with those
religious persons who would tie down
the divine operation in healing dis
eases to one method, nor do We think
that 1t betokens any lack Of faith to
suppose that God can heal by pure
air, good water, and even by medi-
cines compounded by human skill.
Why should we tax our psychic ener-
gies with tasks which could be easily
discharged by psychical instrumental
tiles ?-The Century.

personal onslaughts on Speaker JOS.
G. Cannon, Of the National House Of
Representatives, We're made today by
w. j. Bryan in the course Of his trav-
els through Illinois. The Democratic
ca andidate attacked Mr.. Cannon from
all sides. He charged the Speaker
with being the favorite Of predatory
corporations, with having strangled re-
form legislation and with having fall
sified the facts With regard to Mr.
Bryan's wealth.
