The idea that an express company

PASTOR PRAISES HEALING THEORY.
Dr.. Ottarson Expresses Faith in Christian
Science from the Pulpit.
New York World, Nov. z.


New York World. Nov. Z.
Asserting his belief that disease,
both organic and functional may be
cured by prayer, the Rev. DIR. Will
ard f. Ottarson, at Bethany Con-
gregational Church, No. 455 Tenth
avenue. said Sunday that he had be-
come convinced that Christian Sci
entists are right in their theory of
healing. Leading members of that
denomination, many of whom were
present, said after the sermon that it
was the first time in this city that a
clergyman of so-called orthodox con-
gregation had preached a doctrine
practically similar to theirs from his
own pulpit.
Death and disease could not be
present in the world" said DR.. OF
larson, if sin had not introduced
them. 1t is a great and fundamental
truth that all evil is the result of sin.
The destruction OF sin will rid US OF
death, disease and every other evil.
We all believe God can cleanse
away sin. We also believe he can
heal disease. We believe he does
cleanse us of sin, but most of us do
not yet definitely believe that he
does heal disease. The Apostles be-
lieve it. Christ cured all kinds Of
diseases and even restored the dead
to life. firmly believe the time will
come when we can conquer disease,
by the aid OF God as we now conquer
sin.
DR.. Otterson cited the case of his
own sister, who, he said, was cured
of a cancer by prayer.
She was devoted woman" he
said, and she continued to pray
after her physicians had told her it
was incurable. A small blemish on
her face is all that remains.
II know of q we'll known pastor
afflicted with cancer. Eminent spec
ialists had said he could not be cured.
Christian Science was called upon. and
after a course of prayer be was abso-
lutely cured. Another case was of
woman whose lower limbs had been
paralyzed for twenty years. Chris
tian Scientists prayed for twenty
minutes around her bed and she arose.
A sister of q business man had
been blind for three years. Christian
Science restored her sight. A wo.
man suffering from blood poisoning
tried Christian Science as a last re-
sort. A physician, one of the most
eminent in the East, had said she
could not recover. After two weeks
OF treatment by prayer she was cured,
and the physician announced that q
repetition Of such an incident would
cause him to abandon practice"
DR.. Ottarson said be had not
thought of becoming q Christian
Scientist. but would remain q min
ister of the Congregational Church.
He stated that he believed it to be
as much the function of the Church
to heal disease as to heal sin.

large-sized frost, a libel on "times

rents; that there is no business; that
if their rents are not reduced they
