None Of DR.. Hickson's patients or
Episcopal clergy are more eutnusl-
astic regarding his mission Of heal
ing than DIT. Manning The New York
Tribune in a recent sunday issue. de-
voted an entire page TO the subject
Of spiritual healing and DIT. Hickson.
Z in which Dr. Manning was quoted as
Not eFalth Healing
Let US begin properly said Dr.
Manning, by avoiding any compari-
I son between what IS often called faith
healing and the work Of Lr. James
[ Moore Hickson- Let us apply the
] term spiritual healing and I think
we shall come to better understand
: ing. His work is not 20 be confused
with psycho-therapy or mental heal
ing, or other similar methods. all Of
which have their own use and place
The distinction Is this The principle
OF mental therapeutics is the power
healing urged by Mr. HicksOn. the
power of the healing Christ Is
brought directly TO bear.
You ask whether actual cures
have come within my own oDserya-
ton. Ny reply is unqualified on that
score. They have. A case in point is
that Of a young woman whose hand
had been closed by rheumatism so
that she could not aruculate its
joints On leaving the altar she was
able TO move her hand as freely as ]
move mine She told me 10 was the
first time in several years that she
had been able 10 move It. I made in
quiries and verified her story
The most appealing thing about
the proposal for nealing ministry
is the universal demand for just that
thing. I have given to Mr. Hickson's
work my unqualified approval There
are no reservations. ] believe in him
and in his work
Somehow the church has not
availed itself Of this power Nr. Hick-
sons effort is TO call the church TO
consciousness Of the availability Of
this power. He does not claim TO be a
healer. He does not claim that re
can heal anything But he does, in
beautiful spirit Of humility, declare
that he has been used by Jesus as
medium for the transmission Of His
healing power. He says that his claim
is not a personal thing BY that
mean that he believes the power that
comes TO him is in hre reach Of others
Mr.. Hickson himself has explained
that the possession OF this power is a
progressive thing II IS somethins
that Is capable OF development by use.
We are establishing in Trinity
prayer circles as Mr. Hickman has
suggested. at these prayer circles
we shall pray for people by name We
shall use Christian names only. as this
matter is a sacred and confidential
one. Also We shall pray specifically
for their several needs Keep in mind
the idea. OF the prayer circle and
think OF the spectacle OF a great
church like ours on its knees with a.
revitalized faith in the power Of
Christ to heal the sick Think Of the
reflex OF 5000 OF our clergy. with
new consciousness Of the power OF
Christi
Mr.. Hickson IS giving Us a very
old message. He IS not preaching any
thing now."-Copyrigh 1920. Paul
