address before the Quill Club at a dinner
in Manila just prior to his departure for
this country to consult local clergymen
regarding his election.
The address. a copy of which has re-
Gently reached this city. shows the deep
love which Bishop Brent has for the Phil
ippines and his unwillingness to give up
his position there. 1t indicates, however
that Bishop Brent's decision as to whether
or not he will accept the local episcopate
depends entirely on the decision Of his
physicians regarding the effect of the
Philippine climate on his health.
Bishop Brent said in part:
You have done ME the honor of ask
ing me to take you into my confidence, a
request that only friend can ask Of
friend. and to tell you why l was moved
to decline the election to Washington.
This 1 am glad to do. But l wish to
preface my speech with the assurance
that the remarkable and unfores cen action
VI TIE UIOceSe OF washington IN fe-elect-
ing me has not altered my conviction Of
duty. What l have said in the past few
weeks stands not as a passing opinion. but
as what l have, with good reason, inter-
preted as being part of the eternal coun-
sells of that God of love, who In His con-
troll of worlds and eternities and infinities
does not forget to guide ms creatures Of
time through our career of earth.
''Counsels of common prudence are TAX
ing me to the United States now. to re-
turn, trust though If should some day
cease to be Bishop of the Philippine Is

suasion from prominent personages or the

behave properly in the tropics and threat

to receive, like a Gagged bird beating its
wings on the bars of its prison. Needless
sacrifice is without merit; it is only splen-
did folly

Attention Across the Ocean,

orders and has recently started this new
| branch of Christian work in his own con-
| gregation. To an interested group OF
churchmen DR.. McConb talked of the
foundation of the work in Boston.
THE movement arose in this way" he
said to them: "A little over three years
| ago some of us in Boston commenced a
campaign for healing consumption among
the poor living in the 8. inns of the city.
We sought to treat them in their homes.
They were kept out of doors during the
day. and at night their dwellings were so
arranged that they slept with their heads
in the open while their bodies were In
the rooms. By this means they avoided
the contaminated air of their tenements.
The campaign was remarkably success
full, and as a result We were brought face
to face with another great group of dis
eases. the nervous.
I'VE resolved to call the forces of mind
Systematically to the aid of The purely
medical treatment. Two years ago rooms
were opened in connection with my own
church. These Offices are open daily from
early morning until late at night, and
doctors and skilled psychologists are in
attendance. Seventy per cent of the cases
are sent to us by medical men. and every
case is first examined by two doctors who
minutely report on 1t.
What is the method of treatment?
Apart from following medical advice. reli-
gion is brought to bear: prayer is en-
ployed: we study the surroundings of the
patient and seek to remove any adverse
influences: and suggestion-not hypnotism
is freely used. The PERSONS will is
aroused and employed to help in a cure.
when l hear people assert that reli-
g1ous healing can cure cancer l say that
it is impossible the doctor said. But
there is legitimate field in the great and
growing group of nervous complaints,
hysteria, nervous prostration. melancho-
liza. drunkenness. the drug habit and the
like. Here religion and psychology can
work with the medical man with the
greatest benefit.
II believe that 20 per cent of the cases
of alcoholism. in both sexes, are durable
l cannot speak so favorably of those I'M
der the drug habit. but that is due to the
fact that We lack the machinery for deal
ing adequately with such cases. We have
not even a sanitarium to which to send
them
There are many cases in which the dis
ease can be directly attributed to break
down in religious faith or to the contra
vention of moral laws. In such cases the
power of prayer and broad minded re-
ligious appeal have the desired result
But in all cases we firmly believe in
working hand and glove with the medical
profession.
''One result has been especially cheer
Ing. We have in large number of cases
successfully treated Intending suicides
and the more our movement is known and
practiced the more will the death rate
from suicide decrease"
