The Emmanuel Movement, in which |

diseases like stammering, platform
fright, fixed fears, worry, irritability,
nervousness, suicidal and homicidal
tendencies and dependency; also to
functional troubles like dys-
pepsia, headache, neuralgia, hay fever,
asthma, palpitation of the heart and
minced cancer tumor, paralysis, and
SO forth.
I have cured a number of stammerers
and Sufferers. doing it with great
case. A man of about thirty-five, who
had stammered from childhood, was,
cured as the result of one interview.
One youth of eighteen could not speak
when he first came without screwing
his face into very embarrassing contor-
lions. He had stammered since his
fifth year.
l treated him by telling him. he was
too difIident, too self-conscious and too
forgetful. that in Gods sight he was as
important as any human being on
earth. He should hold his head up and
look any man In the eyes and speak the
speech God intended him to utter, like
the rest of his fellow men. 1 gave him
a formula for daily practise. He was
cured so soon that his aunt pronounced
it a miracle.
But 1t was no miracle. Nor are any
of these cures miracles. They are the
direct result of recently discovered and
now thoroughly tested psychological
laws. l take a woman contemplating
suicide or broken hearted from some
awful grief or afflicted with insomnia
and fear, and by a heart-to-heart con-
versation, by IN appeal to certain
latent powers in her nature and by a
series of auto-suggestions for her use
at bedtime and on rising 1 help her
overcome her trouble.
This means happier living on her part
and greater happiness for all In her
home. She becomes a different woman,
and her circle of acquaintances realize
it. If this is not religious work-God's
work-what is it? Surely it is the
sphere of a minister! 4
I find, too, that it is not always nee
essary to see people to cure them. am
able to do it through correspondence. I
study the letters and dhen tell the
writer's what to do, and they are helped
over M over again. h means that
the minister's sphere of usefulness may
very considerably extend beyond the
borders of his city.
Nor are sectarian lines allowed to in
terfere any more. People of all denom-
nations come to see me or write to me,
for when WI human beings are i'll we
forget our narrow prejudices and go to
the n who can help us I am
sanguine enough to believe that when
the churches take up healing on an x
tensive plane, it will hasten the uniica-
ton of the Christian world. L am also
sure that as soon as the churches begin
to render this practical physical, mental
and moral benefit to the multitude there
will be great gains everywhere in
church attendance and church support.
The churches are now too much of
Injuries; then they will be necessities,
as is the Christian Science Church to
the Christian Scientists.
The Emmanuel Movement, in which
I believe. is not Christian Science. 1t
does not ask people to deny the plain
facts of everyday life. 1t admits the
realty of disease n pain. but it finds
