their respective states and indicated what

The Time to Visit Oklahoma

For the past four years there has been
held at Centralia Street Fair and Stock

afforded an opportunity to inspect and
4cogIpare the varied products of this

have been so uniformly successful that
the people look upon them in the same
light as they regard the bigger county
fairs back home. The Fair for 1908
will eclipse all former efforts, both in pro-

These suggestions were repeated in diff

lasting perhaps ten or fifteen minutes. The
patient was then aroused. After Mr.. X
went away 1 asked Mr.. Powell If his treat

hypnotism.
I'VE do not often hypnotize our patients
he said; it is not necessary. Our idea, OF
course, is to Influence their subconsious
lives; to replace their hopelessness and
moral weakness with suggestions Of power
and virtue and strength. We do not
need to produce a hypnotic sleep, except in
rare cases, to reach this end. All that is
required is a relaxation of mind and body,
a repose, in which the deeper nature Is
open TO suggestion. We don't know why IL
is. but If good thoughts and strong pur-
poses are thus impressed upon the mind OF
a patient in times of repose these good
thoughts act upon and stimulate his life
afterward. He is cured, sometimes In
stantly, OF his sickness or his sin, but
usually the treatments must continue for
some time
"one great effort made by the Emmanuel
movement Is TO encourage patients in auto
suggestion. that is. in the effort to heal
themselves. to give them power over their
own natures. The Rev. Lyman p. Powell

wedding Etiquette In France.

The engagement being announced and the
dot decided, the civil ceremony takes
place the day before the religious one, and
only the nearest relatives are present. The
bride wears a pretty toilet, but not her
brida gown, often the going away dress;
and the diner de contrat takes place in the
evening-an elaborate repast, with exquisite
decorations, 10 which the nearest relatives
of both families are invited. The marriage
settlements are signed after dinner. For
the wedding the bridegroom presents a
bouquet to the maid of honor, a few pink
roses mingllng with the white blooms.
Lace surrounds the bridal bouquet, which
has long streamers. Bouquets and flowers
are given by the fortunate man to his
fiancee throughout the engagement. The
faire part, in which the wedding Is an
nounced TO the two families, has never
gone over to England. The best man takes
the maid OF honor to the brides home on
the wedding day. and this young woman
collects the charitable offerings IN church
during the ceremony in a beautiful silk and
lace trimmed bag. while the best man car
ries her bouquet. Her father escorts the
bride to the vestry. but the young couple
leave the church together. The carriage

in addition to quiet personal treatment
a largely attended meeting is held every
Wednesday evening in the church. 1t is in
reality an apotheosis of the old Unattended
prayer-meeting; but under the impetus OF
the new work, people come by hundreds;
there are often 800 to 1000 men and women
present. After singing and Bible reading
requests for prayer are read. A woman

people go up to the social room where an
hour is spent in making and renewing
acquaintances. Many of those who come
have had great help from these meetings.
ut Is difficult TO convey any idea OF
the eagerness with which suffering men
and women, Protestants. Catholics. Jews,
non-believers. have come to Emmanuel
church, in search OF the new life. Where
once the ministers were compelled to go
out and urge men to come in, 1t is diff
cult now to find room or time for all
who come. Last winter DR.. Worcester WINS
awakened about 4 o'clock one morning by
a ring at his door-belk. Half aroused, he
thought he heard a man crying or groan-
ing. He went to his window and looked
out. There, sprawled on his front steps,
lay the body Of a man. He rushed down
and opened the door and found the man
lying in his blood, his wrists cut in an
attempt to commit suicide. DR., Worcester
sent for a doctor and after the necessary
medical treatment found out that the poor
fellow was suffering from h~Xpochondria,
life not worth living" and after a number
Of treatments brought him around all right.
The young man told DR.. Worcester he had
heard OF his work and took a last chance
to come from Rhode Island TO see II he
could not be helped.
People have come not only from Boston,
but from all over the country, one the
other day from GLASGOW. Scotland, and the
mail received by DIR. Worcester and DR..

and doctors have come to study the work

and many ministers. doctors, teachers and
social workers were in attendance.

49, one Ol me HldIhtu uSNSlOP-
ments of the young century, and
its origin and progress forms the
basis of an article by Ray Stannard
Baker in the December American maya
zine. The striking features of this medico-
religious movement are outlined in the
following extracts:
Forty Protestant churt hes in various
parts of the country-not to speak of hun
dreds of Christian Science churches-are
now conducting religious clinics or health
services for the healing OF the sick. Be
ginning with the work Of Rev. DR.. Elwood
Worcester and his associate, Rev. Or. Sam
uel McComb, at Emmanuel church in Bos-
ton in 1906, the movement has spread with
a r~apidity which indicates that it must
have met a genuine human need.
ION the other hand, many doctors,
health departments and hospitals are ex-
tending their work into wholly new fields,
social. psychic. philanthropic, which were
formerly more or less within the province
OF the church. Both minister and physi-
clan, in these times of spiritual unrest,
Lave grown disconnected with their former
successes. A new relationship Is seen to
exist between religion and medicine. Re

ground to do the work of the doctor: the

treated by Rev. Lyman P. Powell OF st.

has been unusually successful in applying
the methods of the Emmanuel movement.

look at all III. but l learned that he had
been under treatment for several months.
His story was a familiar one. He had
come a stranger to the city with his fam
lily; he had been under a great strain; he
was without acqualntances. and he had
begun to use stimulants until he found
himself unable 10 throw off the habit. As
a final resort he sought out Mr.. Powell

a steady attendant with all his family at
Mr.. Powells church. He Is a wholly diff
fenert man. On the night was there Mr..
Powell gave him a treatment. The man
sat comfortably in an easy chair-the
light was turned down. the study
was silent and peaceful. Mr.. Powell stood
behind the chair and told Mr. X to compose
himself that he was going to sleep just as
he had gone to sleep before when he had
come to the study.

Powell. you are sinking deeper into sleep
