Golfer "Off His Game
1ln the London Express.

From the London Express.
The possibility of golfers flocking to
Harley street to be cured of a tendency
to top their drives or foozle their masse
shots is opened by the news that after
Hypnotic" treatment at Guys hospital
a golfter who was off his game returned
to the links in splendid form.
He was an amateur plus player who
had suddenly gone stale from over-con-
centration on his game, and the method
adopted by a Harley street nerve special
ist was to instill in the mans mind by
suggestion the conviction that he was just
as good player as ever.
"a game such as golf,' he explained,
requires a very delicate coordination of
mind and muscle, which become sub
conscious in the case of a player of any
skill. He plays like an automation, and
is at his best when he does not trouble
about his game. Any flow of energy in
his conscious mind, such as over-anxiety
about the result of the match or the idea
that he is going to play badly, has the
result of interfering with the working of
the sub-conscious part. 1t clogs the
wheels of the automaton.
''Now there is no doubt that suggestion
can remove that interference by removing
the particular ideas which have blocked
the free running of the automatic inn
pulses which all go to the proper swing
ing of a club.
THE hypnotic sleep state is not nee
essary, and in most cases is undesirable.
My own method in such cases is to get
the patients mind poised and then re-
move by the sub conscious action of the
brain.
students suddenly faced with an ey-
animation paper often find their memo-
ries almost wiped out by the rush of en-
ergy in their conscious brain. The auto
maton which should reel off dates and
figures seems to get spoke through its
driving wheel"

Rev. J. W. Hoag. read an appreciation
by former President Taft of Major Archi-

Mr.. Taft, after paying a high personal

Il very much doubt whether I have

self abnegation, as much self sacrifice,
as much ability to put himself in the
place of another and suffer and enjoy
with that other as Archie Butt had.
HE left with us the sweet flavor of
his unselfish life and while we mourn
for him, we felcitate him on the way
he went. His heroism will stand as an
example for future generations

Evening Session

Last night DR.. w. w. Pinson, secre-
tary of the general board of foreign
missions, gave to the council a splendid
report of his recent trip to China, Corea
and Japan. He told of the terrible con-
dition in central China where every day
people are dying from hunger and dread
full diseases; of the great fight the little
band of so Methodist missionaries is
carrying on against nearly overwhelming
odds. He praised the work of the Nc
Tyeire and Davidson Memorial school
and told of the needs of new additions
to each
The conditions along the coast are not
as bad as in the interior, stated DR.. Pin
son, because along the coast several
foreign countries are aiding in bettering
the conditions. In the interior there is
no one to give aid consequently the poor
peasants are in a bad plight.
In speaking of his visit to Corea, Dr.
Pinson praised DIR. Hardie, who is in
charge of the missionary station at
Seoul, Corea. The work in Corea is
much easier than in China for the simple
reason that the Emperor is giving the
missionaries aid.
In conclusion, he stated that it was the
duty of every man, whosoever he may
be. to give toward the maintenance of
missionaries in foreign fields.
