The summer resort season is practically ended ant people are trooping home

BY REV. HENRY R. ROSE, D. D.,

Pastor Church of the Redccmer, Newark.
L believe the clergy and churches
should take up the cure of functional
and V disorders, because l have
found them mostly diseases of char
acter. They are due, at bottom, to
either a lack of self-control or of Will
power, or to guilty fear or practical
atheism, or Il lazy, selfish life or some
other weakness of character.
AS the church is here to create and
improve character it should not longer
neglect a work so vitality related to
manhood and womanhood as this.
Through acknowledgements conversa-
ton the minister can work marvels, be
cause the patient has reached a point
where such an interview will be taken
seriously and his direction will be hon
estly followed.
l came 10 take up this work because
1 have long known the power of per-
sonality in the sick room, and l believe
the psychological moment is here. Some
fifteen years go, during my first pas
%torate, in a New England town, l was
hurriedly called one Sunday morning
to see a parishioner. They told me she
was dying of pneumonia. When / en-
tered the house | found the husband
and two sons crying bitterly. The wife
and mother had just hidden them fare
well. ! found her breathing with great
difficulty. She told me the doctor had
given her up and she had sent for me
to ask mo to look after her two boys
when she was gone.
l old her l did not think she was
going to die, even though the doctor
was hopeless and the nurse discour-
aged. I said: "While there is life there
is hope" / talked with her in a very
encouraging manner.
l told her how much she was needed
in her home and in the community,
and that she must not think of dying.
l read some very r%eassuring parts of
the Bible, especially Psalm CHI, and !
made a prayer in which I appealed to
God 10 restore her health and prolong
her life to those who loved her and
leaned on her so utterly.
Before ! left | old her | felt she
would get well. When | called, late
the same day, to inquire about her, l
was met at the door by her husband.
He had a smile on his face. He said;
MY wife is much easier. After you
left she called us back into her room
and said: Mr.. Rose says 1 nm going
to recover, and l believe I am" She
steadily improved, and is living today.
l did not know then what 1 now know
about "the subconscious mind" and the
power of suggestion" and "auto-su
gestion," but 1 perceived that there was
something which one person could eyer
else over another and something the
other person could exercise upon heg-
self that would help them to PASS the
crisis, eve of an organic disease like
pneumonia. This was fifteen years ago,
and 1 have since repeated the same
course a number of times in pneumonia,

cessful results. =.

that we have as chairman Of the meet

And after he had made his speech
In Vicksburg, If ne shall have escaped

mau as chairman Of his meeting. Mr..
Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo.
graphical sincerity. His epigrams
and startling conundrums are especial.
ly designed to meet local demands.
or this nature are all his views on
tariff and taxation.
Mr.. Byran's proposition that every
time trust Is formed q tariff schedule
should be repealed, and every time q
trust Is dissolved new duty should be
added, is too funny even. for comic
opera.
on March next Mr.. Bryan should
become President, with Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statue books
the financial and economic vagaries
delivered by him In his speech Of last
Friday, 1t would plunge the nation
into bankruptcy and bring on indust.
rial chaos II he should begin by re.
pealing the duty on sugar to punish
the sugar trust, he would. upset the
national finances BY losing $50, 600, 900

RADIO and Michigan. Then, II he
should repeal the duty on cotton
goods, because some hustling manu-.
facturer Of New England or the Caro-.
l!nas we're dumping goods In China In
rivalry with England and Germany,
he would divert other millions from
the treasurer and invite still further
industrial ruin.
But, OF course, Mr.. Bryan would do
none OF these things, any more than
he will invade the solid South and
summon the cohorts of Democracy to
the defense Of the Constitution with
the battle cry "Shall The People
Ruler" Mr.. Bryan simply does not
mean what he says. What he utters
with Chadbandian JUNCTION In the
North he repudiates with PecksnifYian
