FAITH HEALER HERE;
WILL TREAT WILSON
Rawson, New Thought Leader,
Says He Needn't Be at
Presidents Bedside
ONLY TO "OPEN HIS MIND"

Frederick l.. Rawson. English faith
healer. who arrived in this city today
on lecture tour. will give President
Wilson an "audible treatment during
IA lecture at the New Century Club this
evening.
An 'audiblc treatment" is one which
this authority on the new faith healing
gives for mn absent patient, on the
request of some interested person. Mr..
Rawson explained the form that his
treatment OF the President will take.
"Tor q quarter of an hour I will
open my mind that God may act he
said. II will not think of Mr.. Wilson
at all. but only Of that quality Of God
that I wish to be more clearly mani
tested in him.
"NIy being at the Presidents bed
side in the White House rather than
here in Philadelphia would not make
the treatment any more successful. 1t
is all matter of the mind. In my
audible treatment my primary thoughts
and words will be of this nature:
Man is never tired
He reflects the mind. which is al
ways charged with action and energy.
MAN reflects life itself and tho vigor
of all men of all the ages
Man is like God.

Rawson went on. 'you will sec that the
President will rest and sleep quietly to-
night and in the morning will be
stronger and moro contented than a any
time during his illness. IF we were so
requested either I or any of my as
sstants could restore Mr.. Wilson TO
health in n short while
Mr.. Rawson. who was n prominent
figure at the recent convention of the
International New Thought Alliance in
Cincinnati and is attracting large fol-
lowings here and in England, is large,
powerfully built man.
His shoulders are beginning TO Stoop
slightly, but he still has that vigor of
body and clearness of skin that tell OF
younger years spent on the cricket field
and golf links.
His hair and his moustache. which
he wears long in the English fashion,
are iron gray. The most remarkable
and characteristic part of the man are
his eyes, which are a clear deep blue
and of an amazing steadiness.
Mr.. Rawson gave several hundred
persons. chiefly women. treatment at a
meeting in the hall of the Truth Cen
ter of the Divine Science Association of
Philadelphia, 1928 Walnut street. at
1 80 O'Clock this morning. This group

He first delivered lecture, explain

would last forever.
Then he explained the three things
ne made it his work TO combat. These
were mortal mind medical error
and fear.
| Mr.. Rawson's : code of faith. with
which he says he and his assistants
have been able to work again all the
healing miracles of Christ. is based,
he declares, on open mindedness, un-
selfishness and persistence. Its three
great. tents are that one must not think
of the material world. must strive to
think OF God. even if his conception is
not the highest. and must not think
, that God will not act.
He has no special name for his new
faith, but calls it THE Truth
