DR.. HOUSE SPEAKS ON
SPIRITUAL HEALING

DR. e L. House spoke in the
Methodist church last night to a
large audience on Spiritual VS..
Mental Healing" He said. in part:
Mental healing takes in the con-
scious and subconscious realms of
the mind, but leaves out the spirit
realm Of mind. IL is legitimate and
brings fine results.
We must not mistake a part for
the whole. The trouble today in our
teaching is that many of the new
cults are claiming that divine heal
ing is spiritual healing while it is
only mental, because it lacks the
teaching of regeneration which
makes for spiritual healing.
while mental healing may not be
the 'anti-Christ.' it may have that
effect, because it seems to save but
does not There is way that
seemeth right 10 men, but the end
thereof is death.
Spiritual healing is based upon
the word of God. upon the atone
ment upon the presence Of the
power Of the holy spirit 1t means
Iffe of sympathy. beauty, self
denial and self-sacrifce Very few
are reaching It, but il is obtainable.
