HENRY r. ROSE TALKS
ON RELIGIOUS HEALING

The Rev. Henry r. Rose preached
Surday morning in the Church of the
Redeemer on The New Religious Heal
ing" His text was Mark V, "a, Thy
faith hath made thee whole He said
in part:
The old religious healing was I'M
scientific and magical. 1t relied on In
carnations, V olive offerings and pill
srimages to religious shrines. as is in
Iced the case to a greater OF less ex-
tent today. But many failures nat
prally followed, as only those who could
he cured through suggestion were
reached In this way.
-s'1.he new religious healing is scien-
tinc and rational. It is based upon
physiology, psychology and religious
faith. Therefore it indorses and recon-
rnends physicians and surgeons be-
cause they are scientifically trained,
and there arc diseases where their
services are absolutely necessary. IN
less a person wants TO suffer unneces-
sary pain or run the risk Of an IN
timely death. Religion should regard
the skilful physician and surgeon as
truly ministers as the men IN the pull
pits. for they are doing for the body

nsButt the new religion takes a further
step and says that mental and moral
medicine are just as scientific as drugs
and and that there are cases
when there is no other way to effect
cures except mentally and morally.
For instance, worry, grief. hate, fear
and vice break down the body and re-

ancholy, and desperation.
The only cure must come from treat
ing the thoughts and emotions. We
must minister to a mind diseased be-
fore we can help the diseased body.
Religion is the greatest force in
the world. and when focused upon IA
morbid or respondent or remorseful or
guilty soul it burns ANA the dis
temper and brings the patient out into
the light again.
Faith works the cures, but through
the mechanism of auto suggestion,
which is lodged in mans brain. AL
religious cures are due to suggestion
n auto-suggestion, coming from
within and not from without. 1t makes
no difference where one goes or what
he does of a religious nature so long

kind that yields to sue expectation he
will get cured. If it is not, he will not
get cured no matter what enthusiasts
promise" .
Mr.. Rose read from letters he had
received from people treated in his
study to show that he was positive the
Emmanuel Movement could help any

ton or any person struggling to re-
cover from nervous disease, One letter
in particular referred to the immediate
and entire cure of a ma OF alcoholism
who had lived a dissipated life for
years. 1t was written of his W free
will and accord and stated that for one
year after the interview he had not
touched liquor and had no desire. Mr..
Rose said the power of a man to re-
cover himself lies in getting at his
auto-suggestion and c~ultivating it to be
his friend instead of his enemy. Every
person can make himself strong within
and pass through life interrupted and
unafraid.

Let me add, there is hope for all. 1t
Is never too late to mend and there do

or religious thought in restoring suf-
ferers from functional diseases to
