Why should not the church recognize, without
giving undue prominence to the incident, this

1T is our own fault. for this magnificent gift was

HEALING by PRAYER.

The establishment Of dogma by ballot always
holds ii look of artihciality that defeats the end
sought to be accomplished. In church conven'
tions such contests are hurtful in proportion to
the passion with which they are engaged. The
world at large takes rbald view OF the SUBJ

are questions of individual faith and conscience.
The things unseen, the things Of belief, are not
matters of fiat. \ ballot can i'll no circumstances

it does not do that. The church that III It's as

there is one development in religion more mark.
ed than another il is the development of faith
pitched upon the essentials and careless of the
technicalties of doctrine.
The Protestant Episcopal Convention has just
emerged from heated discussion of "healing
the sick by prayer. We gather that the PROPOSE

truth. wherever and in what form the truth ex.
