THE WISH TO LIVE.

The old Arab who refused to submit to an OPP
GRAFTON to have his eyesight restored on the
ground that he had seen SO much OF the world
The was tired of it, ought to have lived IN TINS
Gay and age. For, verify, there is something
new to be seen. Who among us does not want
lto live few years longer, just to see what
comes out of the tangled conditions that exist
today7
Pick up copy Of any newspaper and glance
at the headlines "A dozen wars going on,
thousand complications in the affairs OF men
and nations, million strange situations into
which the race has fallen. So much money IN
the world it is a burden to carry it around, 1T
seems; a market basket full of money for
market basket full Of vegetables that is the
current price of foodstuffs Ships bringing in
millions of dollars worth of diamonds, the
shops filed TO the ceiling with Injuries, the
streets and roads iammed with peasure cars
and folks refusing to work for less than dol
lar an hour 1t is strange condition. and 1t IS
going to be worth all the suffering it costs to
live on just to see the finish.
We used to imagine that if we were old and
disabled and had never penny in the world,
and suffered from all manner of physical IN
firmities, we would pray to be taken away, to
obtain eternal relief from it ALL But we have
changed our minds in regard to it; we want TO
live however burdensome life may become; IN
deed it occurs to us that we would be willing to
undergo all manner of physical torments few
years longer, out of sheer curiosity. We are
that much interested in how the world is finally
going to straighten itself out-for we are OPP
timist enough to believe that it will straighten
itself out.

HEALING THE SICK.

A devout and gifted layman Of the Church
of England has come over to tell American
Episcopalians that one of the highly important
but long neglected functions is to heal the
bodies as well as the souls of men, The healing
power was anciently held to be an outward eyi-
dence of a sanctihed life and the most conclus-
i've demonstration of spiritual attainment its
possessor could give to the world. The theory
was, and is, that the healer had become We
9ice or channel through which the restorative
divine power poured; and the teaching was
abundant and clear that believers who would
1--we the life must not only achieve immunity
from bodily ills, but might by their minstrations
bring to others the blessing of health. There
was no time limit put upon this ability or facnl
~: nor is there reason to doubt that it is as at
tainable now as formerly by people willing to
pay the price which is perfect selflessness and
Il life of conservation to the work.
That it is possible to do this in our life of to-
day the life and writings of illunined christian
nystcs like James Macbeth Balm conclusively
testify. But the exalted devotional spirit of his
books, 1.-The Heart of the Holy Grail, y The
Christ of the Healing Hand - and Others limits
their appeal to the far-scattered few, within
and outside the churches, whose ideal is the
dedicated life A healing movement which be-
gan in the Emmanuel church (Episcopalian) at
Boston few years ago attracted attention for
O. time but little has been heard of it Of late.
There was certain timidity about it indicating
an aspiration to heal the sick rather than a
burning faith in the ability to do SO. The work
4 rs relied on prayer and disclaimed the posses
sion Of healing gifts. They are said, however,
to have achieved results well worth their while.
1t would seem that healing is legitimate and

following from a speech by him in
1916:
The provision of the constitu-

sions, and they proposed so to
frame the constitution that no
one should hold the power OF
bringing this oppression upon us.
Polk was president wien Lincoln
thus spoke. He had begun a war
without the consent of congress and
sought to write the peace without
consulting the senate, except in a
pcrfunctory way. He did this as
Woodrow Wilson remarks In his
History Of the United States" not
because he was patriotic, but. be-
cause he had a natural love of
secrecy and an aversion to consult

who held that the constitution should

CHINA ADVANCING.

DR. Paul S. RelnSch, our erstwhlle minister
to Peking is witness whose testimony regard
ing conditions in China commands respect. The
public statement he has made since his retire

direct information at hand to the American pub
lie and to American business in estimating what
China is about and about to do and become.
And DR.. Reinseh foresees greater and more
prosperous China arising and asserting into
world affairs
In the first place, the increase IN value OF Sill
liver is of vast importance to China since she al
ways pays international obligations In this
medium and has greatly profted by the favor
able exchanges she is obtaining. Then the
taxes in China are low; and despite national
agitation over the treaty and resentment to-
ward Japan as factors of unrest, DR.. Reinsch
declares that the nations business is going for
ward quietly and with steady gain The Jap
anese boycott is not only widespread but is 50
firmly maintained that it has already stimulat-
ed home production in many lines and brought
about an industrial energy not known before.
The Chinese national debt is the smallest IN the
world on basis of population and the people
are not carrying heavy burdens. China is buy
ing machinery in great amounts; and one Amerl-
can firm has placed an order for ten million
dollars worth Of cotton milling machines.
There is man power for an industry that will
not only supply home needs but soon come to
active competition in world markets. There is
basic solidarity of purpose and strong adher-
tence to radical ideals, both factors to promote
national stability and enterprise
China has long asked, and In vain, to be al
lowed to work out her own future. 1t seems
she is now of mind to do this despite outside
interference A China reused to militant de-
e -, -; r. mt q
