MT OF one whit deferred by the topic
~ of the afternoon, "Pyscho-
Nv Theropy and Religio-Theropy,''
members of Ebell gathered yesterday
to listen to a double program, the
speakers being Rey. Dana Bartlett and
DR.. Ross Moore, the first telling of hu-
manitys great need and of the help to
be found in the lines of treatment re-
ferred to as above, while DR.. Moore
gave what he himself called cold
blooded presentation of the bases and
mechanism of the same methods OF
treatment.
great changes that are taking place in
the world of thought today, DR.. Bart
lett affirmed that this trend is nowhere
more apparent than in the art OF neal
ing, where physicians are learning that
something is needed beside a cure for
mere physical ills. He believes that the
medical world today is coming to recos-
nize that back of the atom, back OF
material things which may be weighed,
measured and analysed is new and
great force for healing, the power OF
human sympathy.
In evidence of this the speaker re-
ferred to the social science department
recently added to the curriculum at the
Massachusetts, general hospital, where
a. corps of trained young women of
high ideals and character attainment,
large hearted and true of soul, take
charge of cases that come to them with
this prescription from the physician,

departure is attracting attention all

possibility of educating the sub-con-
scious were made tangible and possible
to his listeners as the speaker dwelt
upon the unity of all life, and of the
almost unlimited possibilities of char
acter building and re-education for
even the criminal and those who are
given to evil habits.
"Do you know, you mothers, that II
is within your power to develop almost
any good in your child if, when he is
going to sleep, you sit by him and sing
and talk to him of the things you want
him to be and to do?' was thought
dropped in closing, when Dr. Bartlett
said that if parents would choose and
hold to one thought for the future of
their little ones, by constant suggestion
they could shape the future Of their
children almost at will.
Dr. Moore held strictly to the mate
rial side of his subject, refusing to adj
NIT miracles into the discussion, and
claiming that every phenomenon pos
sible to experience is the result Of
fixed law, the final result of which can
be predicted.

as immutable as those of chemistry
and many things seem miraculous be-
