1t can be said safely hat all nave been
benefited. Even II he had not time 10
attend to their individual cases, they re-
turned to their homes calmer and moro
composed than when they went. and thus
in better physical shape for the forces
Of nature to do their normal work.
Three cases typical of the classes which
come n typical of results may be cited.
All came one afternoon recently to the
bishops clinic in his church. A man
who had not smiled for months left
Bishop Fallows with countenance illu-
mined. His wife and daughter were with
him. and all started home with new hope
In their hearts. The man had been a
prey to the belief hat he surely. was
destined to die of heart disease. Another
man told the bishop he felt he was going
insane. He departed confident and en-
couraged.
A third had been contemplating suicide.
but under the spell of the bishops strong
words OF encouragement he lost his fears
and the gloomy thoughts were fading
when he left, happier and calmer.
These three cases" said the bishop,
proved to me that the plan I have hit
upon Is the right one. These men brought
who informed me that what was needed
was suggestion Of hope from some author
itative source. The man who was deluded
by the belief that he was going to die
OF heart disease admitted hat he was
In error. The man who feared insanity
surrendered to my suggestion Of encour-
agement. The man who had business
worries and was thinking Of suicide agreed
to make a fight.
Even to two paralytlcs Bishop Fallows
was able to do good by helping remove
the constant dread of death, so that they
went away much comforted in mind and
body.
His Method.
MY treatment is no secret saws the
bishop. II first employ the psychic
method-I give human suggestion and per-
suasion. l appeal to the reason. and thus
encourage the troubled and hopeless. /
iterate and reiterate certain common sense
ideas, until the ubconsciousness of the in
dtvidual before me is reached.
II use the best Of Christian Science and
the best OF materia medica. For years
science has progressed In its research Into
the realm Of medicine, and I admit this.
But use also the secret truths explained
by Mrs. Eddy. Linking the curative prin-
ciple included In Christ's teachings with
the best in medicine, I think 1 have found
the most hopeful of all remedies, for hope
Is evive and confidence restored"
Bishop Fallows is now 70 years old.
Fol a man of his years he is hearty.
interchangeable, energetic and full of ideas.
DhoAOP HoAiO"S WIS uOTu III England
December IL, 1895. He was a farmers boy
In Wisconsin in 1S4S, and at "a was grad
uated from the University of Wisconsin
as valedictorian. He was vice president
OF the Galesville university two years
and then became pastor Of the Methodist
church in Oshkosh. Entering the army
as a chaplain in the Thirty-third Wiscon-
sin volunteers, he became a fighting par
son In reality, and came out Of the war
a brtgadier general. He has held nIrpar-
Gus educational positions in various in
situations. and In 1876 was elected a bishop
Of he Reformed Episcopal church.
AS a further calculation of his new pro-
paganda, Bishop Fallows upon a recent
occasion said: Christian psychology dis
tinctly recognizes the reality of mind and
just as distinctly the reality of the BODY.
and no less the reality of sin and the
reality Of sickness. 1 would be denying
the word OF God in the bible If 1 did
not recognize these things. And we rec
ognize the fact that there are physical
Ills which no power of the unaided mind
can affect directly.
Mind Is the source Of all that Is, be-
cause mind, parent mind, is back OF all.
but He who designed the mind of man to
be In the body designed that faith should
be exercised In certain directions where
II Is absolutely triumphant; and there are
bodily Ills which need the faith OF the
skilled a n warm heart and clear
brain of the physician and surgeon. The
\ physicians skill Is as much needed In one
case as another knows healing by faith
without II. The bible defends the physi-
clan and remedies.
