Staid orthodox circles in the Unit
al States were not a little astounded
by the announcement that Bishop
Samuel Fallows of the Reformed
| Episcopal Church had become rival
of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy,
and set himself up as mental
healer" of diseases.
Bishop Fallows, however, differs
from all other advocates of mental
healing" faith cures" and the like.
He does not scorn the aid of the reg
ular physician, In fact, he insists
that all his patients bring a physi-
clans diagnosis with them and In
all his treatment" he proposes 10
have physician of the recognized
school present.
Neither does he call his new cult
Christian Science. He designates IL
al Christian psychology" He
does claim, however, that Christian
psychology" will cure anything that
is durable by Christian Science meth
DDS, which are, he believes. simply
cures by faith on the part of the pa
tent that they will be healed, He
declares that this faith cure Is prac-
ticed by all physicians. and he be-
lieves it should be practieed in It's
highest form by all earnest Chris
tians.
This is not a new or a sudden
fancy of mine, said the Bishop with
whimsical mile. For twelve
years | have been lecturlng on physio-
logical psychology at the Bennett Epi
leptic College. For the last three
years | have been making a special
study of the relations between men
tally and disease.
II have arrived at the conclusion
that mentality when based up
on trust In religion. is a powerful
aid toward the cure of all functional
nervous disorders.
II do not go so far as to say that
all diseases may be cured by mental
suggestion. Organic diseases like
cancer and typhoid fever demand he
services OF a skilled physician. But
in every disease the mental attitude
, of the patient has much to do with
his condition, and In all those af-
fections OF the mind which might De
classified as functional nervous disor-
ders the mental attitude of the pat
mt Is the greatest single influence"
The bishop then outlined a few Of
the diseases which he believed he
could cure by Christian Psychology
f.. included in his list the follow
= ing.
Hyphochrondria.
Sleeplessness.
, Nervous dyspepsia.
Melancholia.
Hysteria
+ Drug habits.
l. Want of se,f-confdence. irritability,
$ worry anger, fear. and weakness Of
0 will.
k THE cure of the grip, | believe, .
said the Bishop, can be aided great
o ly, and perhaps entirely effected by
v the direct influence of what | may
Il call strengthened mentality. One OF
the chief factors In the potency of
d grip is the mental depression into
which 1t forces It's victims,
It was last Sunday evening that
= Bishop Fallows in his sermon l.
: nounced his purpose to put his be-
lief into practice,
But so great was the confidence OF
the Bishop that the sick and suf-
" fering did not walt for the first
= Thursdays meeting to receive treat.
q ment
II on Tuesday afternoon the Bish D
treated his first patient. A JAM
to. named c. P. j. Esnorff could not
walt until Thursday afternoon and
n sought the Bishop in the vestry
|, rooms of the church. He was suffer
:, ing from a disease of the eye and
:, was anxious for relief. He told the
Bishop that medicine had failed &c
afford him any help.
Esnorff sat down and listened
while the Bishop told him that he nad
two minds-the consciuos and tht
:, sub-eonscious- how they con
Z tanned the force that was to drive tbs
sickness out of his eyes.
He then instructed Esnorff and LEI
him go. The patient went away de-
claring he felt 100 per cent peter
y that the Bishops talk ha effected {
n wonderful improvement.
m The Bishop hopes to enlist all tht
D. churches in the country in thi!
movement. He explained this pur
pose in the sermon In which he frs
made his announcement. He said
