Spiritual Healing Endorsed
BIZ CLericaLs and MedicOs

London-An important contribution
to one of the foremost topics of the
day is found in the report of the com
mittee on spiritual healing or faith
cure, " appointed by the conference Of
the clerical and medical professions
held in October, 1911.
The committee, which is composed
of prominent clergymen and doctors,
in its conclusions says: ''The mem
bers of the committee fully recognized
that operations of divine power can
be limited only by the divine will, and
they desire to express their belief in
the efficacy of prayer. They rever-
emily believe, however, divine power
is exercised in conformity with and
through the operation of natural laws.
With advancing knowledge of these
laws, increasing benefits are being Sc.
cured for mankind through humane in.
strumentality.
Especially is this true in the case
of healing of disorders of the body anc
the mind, and they consider that spir.
itual ministration should be recognized
equally with medical ministration as
carrying Gods blessing to the sick.
'"The committee is of the opinion
that physical results of what is called
faith or spiritual healing do not prove
different from those of mental healing
or healing by suggestion.
''The committee recognizes thai
suggestion is more effectively exer
cised by some persons than others
which would seem to explain the gift:
claimed by 'healers.' The use of re
ligous influences does not differ essen
TALLY from non-religious appeals tt
the mind, yet the former are OTTER
more potent.
"Faith or spiritual healing can. b.
permanently effective in functiona
disorders, as distinguished from or
ganic disorders, and the committee
warns against resorting to healers ane
postponing medical treatment.
Spiritual ministrations may con
tribute to the success of medical treat
ment, and we desire to see more i'm
portance attached to them, but We
strongly deprecate the Independent
treatment of disease by irresponsible
and unqualified persons.
The witnesses examined by the com
mittee differed in their definitions o.
spiritual and mental healing. Some
regarded the former as divine in
terposition above the laws Of nature
while most of them connected spiritua
healing today with the gifts of healing
of the apostolic church, saying they
thought these had long been dormant
although never wholly interrupted.
The witnesses differed widely as tt
whether moral excellence in the heal
ers or the healed was essential for sue
cess

Washington, D. C. = Democratic
leaders in the house who want con-
gress to end by July 10, called a party
caucus for Tuesday, through which
they hope to expedite consideration

frame an order under which the debate

American Forces Teach
Great Lesson to Mexicnns


Vera Cruz-Two weeks have elapsed
since a small force of American mar
ines landed and put to rout the defend
inc forces of Vera Cruz. Through
that act the United States govern
ment took over the government OF the
city.
The transition of authority was
marked by the loss of nearly score
of American lives. But whatever
NAV be the future of Mexico, events
which have. transpired in Vera Cruz in
the last fortnight demonstrated that
those Americans who went to death
have not died in vain.
Through the advent of American
arms. Vera Cruz has had lesson IN
civilization and humanity. Under
meath thin veneer of civilization, the
American invaders found barbarity
and cruelty in government that sa-
vored of the dark ages.
In the old fortress-castle prison OF
San Juan de Ulloa, relic of the eigh-
teenth century, the American invaders
found a specimen of Mexico's civiliza-
ton. With the taking over of the To-
cal government one of the first acts OF
the authorities, as already briefly an
nounced, was to make an inspection Of
the prison.
Within the walls of the island cas-
tie were found almost inconceivable
scenes of filth and horror. From sew
eral dungeons were brought gibberine
semblances of manhood, prisoners,
both criminal and POLITICAL offenders
robbed of their reason by years of liv.
ing death.
San Juan de Ulloa was perhaps the
most hideous place in the world
When the American authorities en-
tered it's walls there were found 81
whips, rawhide thongs braided ane
knotted, still wet with human blood
Everywhere were evidences of inhu
man torture and cruelty. Everywhere
was the eloquent explanation why
Mexicans condemned to prison pleaded
for death.
One of the first acts of the American
military government was to clean out
this prison. To slime and filth were
added the horrors of disease. But such
prisoners as were able to work were
set to the task of restoring some sem
blance of sanitary order.
Whether the new regime in Mexico
will undo the sanitary work begun by
the Americans lies with the future
But Vera Cruz and its people have hat
a lesson in humanity. By every one
it is admitted that never before ha:
the city been so quiet and orderly.
With all this sanitary work, thu
health of the American marines ant
soldiers remains good. Prices of food
stuffs have become exorbitant, and tn
silver coinage has almost vanished.
A. bloody bull fight took place Satur
day for the delectation of the RESIDENT
and visitors. General Funston, be
lieving the people can find wiser wa.
to spend the money they give to SCI
such exhibitions, has practically de
cided to stop the alleged sport.
