New York, June 19.--Dealings on
the curb market today were In less
active volume than they had been in
the two preceding sessions. but prices
in all instances maintained arm tone
at about the highest level Of the cur
rent week. Business in the industrials
was quiet but nrm. Oils were our spe-
ciai interest, prices maintaining a nrm
tone. High-priced stocks were Quieter
but prices were generally improved
and with bids at slightly higher lev
els than prevailing recently Metals
were steady although interest was
smaller than 1t has been.

Mr.. Hickson declares that no.

cases Of complete cure as in the
Highlands of Scotland, where the
people have simple faith and are
deeply religious. He tells of one of
the few complete and instantaneous

If the sufferers eyes were light
in color he never could have walked
out of the church without at least
limp in the face of an inevitable
cherished desire to be Of the sea,
a desire common to all light people,
and in him a desire which could
have been blocked only by his seri-

This is the physical side of the
case. The psychological aspect is no
less important, though l think it is
secondary to the physical. To illus
trate both sides of the case, how

The Nub Of the Question

Such patient might be tenn
porarily amenabie to the influence
of a divine healer, who might shame
him for the moment out of his men,
tai alibi for laziness and the failure
to go to sea. Since the lameness is
largely the product of his uncon-
scious mind, the excitement of visit
ing a healer and the impressiveness
Of the healer's attitude might relieve
him for a while of the fancied all,
ment. The blue-eyed man would
never tolerate anything but a deep
seated physical disability to prevent
him from the natural courses of his
life. AS scientists continue to view
things, a sufferer Of that sort could
not be relieved by the temporary ex-
element of a healer's ministration.
Nevertheless, we admit that much
good may come of such ministration.
Any stimulus to those moral forces
which powerfully control, through
our minds, the physical wellbeing,
must be of value. AS for critical
judgment on the mental phenomenon
involved in these ministrations,
science will need still much study
Of even the we'll known mental
processes before it ventures to pro-
nounce upon these apparently abb
Struse ones.

When engaged in his manifestations
Mr.. Hickson contends that he al
ways feels the divine presence. In
q spiritual sense it seems as real to
him as the person on whom his
hands are laid. He believes that
there is an actual transference of
life to the patient through the power
of prayer and he argues in this
wise: "When Christ healed He did
not merely stir up the life within,
but He impaired to the diseased and
troubled new life and the divine
breath that entered into their body
destroyed the old life and cleansed
them. Christ healed by touching,
not the germ of disease but the
spirit which gave life to the germ.
Where there is a germ there is life,
and where there is life there is
spirit"
Mr.. Hickson contends that his
ability to cure is not the kind of
thing that can be explained away in
the light of hard, cold reason. He
believes that there are still few
things left in heaven and earth be-
yond the scalpel of the scientist or
the reasoning of the psychologist.
In proof Of this he instances the
possibilities of healing the diseased
and crippled child by prayer and
touch.

says. "The conscious mind is not
in the way. The grown-up is more

man to whom hundreds of sick
~ and disabled people have
flocked within the last few
weeks looking for health and
strength, makes no pretence of be-
ing healer in himself.
He admits that he has gift, bat
argues that it is not peculiar to
him. He recognizes similar capacity
in many people that he meets. but
believes that great religious faith is
the all-essential quality for the de-
velopment of that gift. He does not
believe that psychologists or doctors
or ministers Or any other class of
people can explain away his ability
to heal. Nor will he admit that or
ganic diseases are incurable.
Whence the Po;Uey?
"If | were to do that he says,
81 would be putting q limit on the
power of CHRIST, and that cannot
do. The gift OF healing is gift
of God, given to whomsoever he
will. 1t is used as a channel through
which the power Of the spirit can
work. How can this power be rec
ognlzed and developed by those to
whom it is given? The first step,
OF course, is to realize the respon-
slbllity of possessing the gift; then
to open the mind to teaching on the
subject, both from within ard with
out, and, finally, to take the gift
back TO God, from whom it came,
and 10 consecrate it to His service.
1t Will then be found almost i'm
possible to resist the impulse to lay
the hands on the sick.
My conviction is that when, in
reliance upon the Holy Spirit, hands
are lard upon the sick in the name
Of Christ the patient is brought into
direct communication with the high
est spiritual forces and thus helped
upon ali planes of life.
Don't call me a healer" insisted
DIR. Hickson. ITO the truly spirit
ual there is but one healer-Christ.
NO medium worthy the name would
attempt to claim credit for himself.

SO it is that the unconscious has it's
way.
For a purely psychological look
into the matter let us assume that
the sufferer is really too lame to
support himself through work.
Here the question of idleness tells
US that idleness has been found to
pay-through lamcness. 1t may be
that the sufferer is well to dc, or es-
capes by reason of lameness the

he has reached the family pocket

has gained the sympathy of some

nav = Deen reading with much
interest the comments you
have published in regard to
the activities of Mr.. Hickson
and his treatment of sick people
by the laying on of hands, under the
auspices of Trinity Church. The
exploitation Of this age-old pro-
cedure-the laying on Of hands
lifted into the twentieth century
and credited with seemingly mar
vellous results, seems to me in the
way of furnishing valuable data for
science if scientifically observed.
From the scientists standpoint
all science has been but the result
Of sitting the fake from the real in
new discoveries. 1t seems to me
that this apparent phenomenon
might also be made to serve very
definite scientific end
Let us take an instance. Let us
assume that a man who all his life
wished to follow the scafaring
career, but could not for the reason
of lameness, seeks The healer, who
cures by the laying on of hands, and
he throws away his crutches and
walks out Of the church, to all APP
pearances a completely healed man.
l state, not without fear of contra
diction, but rather with a desire
for fair investigation, that if his
eyes are light in color his lameness
will soon return, or it probably
never disappeared at all He walked
out Of the church limping and in
mental anguish.
On the other hand, if the eyes
Of such a man happen TO be dark
in color, his love OF the sea exists
alone for the reason Of the romance
of the sea, which has been born in
him and in his ancestors by tradition
perhaps for century. This dark
eyed man might we'll have thrown
away his clutches, for he might
never have been physically lame at
all, beyond a lamencss brought on
himself through a long period of
disuse of the affected member.

James Moore Hickson, the 6 4caicr'

shawl The son of the stranger was
in great distress about his father.
He was taking him home from the
hospital to die at his own fircside,
because that was what the old man
wanted. Mr.. Hckson spoke to the
son and told him he believed he
could help the old man if he would
kneel down and let him place his
hands upon him. The invalid was
too weak to protest. He knelt down
and Mr.. Rickson prayed over him
and ministered to him. In about
two minutes he jumped up, thump-
ing himself and crying out: "Mon,
but | feel warm" Tingling sensa-
tions were shooting through him.
Within half an hour that man
said he was we'll, that his pain had
left him, his strength returned. He
was smoking a pipe and blessing
the healer His story soon travelled,
so that the solitude which Mr.. Hick-
aon sought eluded him. People
f1ockcd to him - simple country
people brought up on the shorter
catechism and full of reverence for
the power and efficacy of prayer. 1t
was the most fruitful period of heal
ing that he had ever had.
