ON EMMANUEL|SM
Movement First Started in Bos-
ton Favorably Considered at
Meeting in Newark.
REV. DIR. ROSE TELLS OF
WORKINGS OF CULT
Essex Doctors May Incorporate
Theory in Their Prac-
tises Shortly.

The much-talked-o Emmanuel
Movement" which has been stirring the
people of Boston up so much, has now
been taken up by the homeopathic doc
tors of Essex county, and the interest
evinced by them at their monthly meet
ing last night in the Public Library
indicates the likelihood of the move
ments being adopted; at least, in part,
in their practise.
The doctors had obtained the Rev
DR.. Samuel McComb, of the Emmanuel
Church, Boston. for their speaker at
their meeting, and after he had finished
cussion Doctor after doctor spoke on
the subject, and the general trend of
the speeches was in the manner Of an
acknowledgement of value in the move
ment
DIR. McCon1b took up the greater part
of his speech in technical discussion
of the movement from the standpoint Of
psychotherapy, but in brief pre-
amble gave an explanation of the move
ment to distinguish 1t from Christian
Science. According to his explanation
the method recognizes the physical
basis of diseases, but takes advantage
of the psychology Of human nature in
it's relation to disease in effecting a
cure.
THE common sense of all these fad
religions is embraced in the Emmanuel
Church's doctrine" explained the doc
tor, "and furthermore we have CO.
workers on the other side of the At
lantic, in Paris and Berlin, who have
demonstrated the practibility of the
science
Professor Wilson Opens.
The discussion was opened by PRO-
fessor John e. Wilson, Of New York.
lone of the country's foremost experts
on mental and nervous diseases. He
agreed with Dr. McCornb IN some points.
and gave In the main the outlook for
the movement from the standpoint Of
his own particular branch of medical
science Professor Wilson was roundly
arplauded by the doctors, of whom
there were about seventy In attend
ance.
DIR. M. Allen Starr, who was expected
to speak, sent his regrets. explafninghis
inability to attend. The Rev. Dr. Henry
r. Rose followed up Professor Wilson's
talk, with an explanation Of his work
here in Newark.
While there is no clinic In Newark.
Dr. Rose has treated as many as $50
patients in the last year, receiving them
in his home. Doctors with difficult
cases of sickness on their hands, in
which mental troubles played a large
part have often come to DR.. Rose for
his aid in the cure.
In an interview today with a STAR
reporter DIR. Rose said that while the
movement is not likely to be taken up
largely at first by ministers, inasmuch
as the practise of the movement re-
quires large special training. doctors
who realize the importance and value
OF the movement will likely incorporate
the teaching into their individual prac-
tise. AS to the establishment of a
clinic In Newark, DR.. Rose thinks that
It will be a long time In coming, for the
same reason Of the requirements of long
study that would deter ministers from
taking up the science.
Show Enthusiasm.
The meeting was one Of the best held
by the association in some time. While
there were not many in attendance be-
cause of the weather, those present en-
tered with such a vim into the meeting
that their enthusiasm made up for the
lack In numbers. DR.. Caldwell Morr1-
son, the society's president. was in the
chair.
