The Miracle Man

What the skeptc says of the works of James
Moore Hickson, of London, known as "the miracle
man," if there be skeptics, does not matter. What
the sufferer who comes to him for help says about it
what counts.
Mr.. Hickson does not advertise. He conducts
no propaganda. He does not "wish anything on to
anybody" to use phrase from the vernacular More
over, he makes CHARGE but goes his way up and
down in the earth bringing soace thousands of per-
sons who have been cheated in the game of life
And who shall say he does not heal-or better, who
shall say the Lord God of Hosts does not use him as
an agent through which to restore health to those who
have faith and humility? In reality know little
about the mysteries of life that it i'll behooves
insist that God does His healing though drugs only
through doctors only
The power of suggestion may play important
role. 1t doubtless does But suppose it does whose
is the credit? Where from, where we get
our life the explanation of why we live and how, of
why our hearts beat and our lungs function without
our conscious direction of those processes all
shrouded in mysteries which religion promises to pene
trate before science
If the apostles of Jesus of Nazareth performed
miracles, why can not consecrated followers of the
Christ perform such miracles now? We must either
believe the former not true that the latter
possible There is no other alternative to the Chris
tian.
The world gradually is coming out of the ma
terialism in which it has been engrossed for many
years. We are coming to realize that everything
movable isn't movable through the five alone.
If some divine power can cause the ill to mend through
the application of drugs to the of the maady,
why can't this power take different route to the ac-
complishment?
There stranger things, in fact, than are
dreamed of in most of our PHILOSOPHERS And one of
the finest things about the healing mission at ST. Gle
ments church is the fact that somewhere in the world
is who is utterly unselfsh that he gives his
entire time bringing joy into lives where previously
there has only been despair-El Paso Herald.

The Newer Habits

In an editorial upon the official closing of the
steel strike, the Iron Agerepresentative of the pro-
prietary and managerial interests Of the metal trades
makes the observation:
There should be more everyday use of
the very methods that in the Liberty Loan
campaign brought employers and men into
such admirable cooperation during the war.
Then the differences in social and property
status were lost sight of in the recognition of
man-to-man footing"
1t is universally recognized in industry that the
prewar conditions be reestablshed so far as
wages, prices, competition and freedom from govern
ment control and interference are concerned The
spelled nis to period whose books are closed.
We the beginning of era and one of the
inevitable developments of the epoch the reform of
the relations between employers and employees The
signs evident enough in the organization of shop
committees, the spread of the so-caed employee re-
presentation plan, the encouragement of cooperative
buying, the experiments in proftsharing the forming
of bureaus to study living conditions, the loans to
home builders, and in than one industrial plant
the founding of schools for teaching economies and
higher technology

Small Towns Don't Want Sympathy

Nothing gets than to hear
fellow who lives in city wasting what he calls
sympathy" on the man who lives in a small town.
To hear him talk One would think that the resident of
the small town is dead and that little dirt over him
would complete his burial.
But the small-town resident does not figure it
that way. And he prove it not only by every man
in Clear Lake. Ia, but by hundreds of thousands of
men who reside in smaller towns as small or even
smaller than this one.
That little home with trees all about it, that
pretty yard with green grass and flowers untainted by
the filthy factory smoke, that little garden patch with
its juicy vegetables and the fun of watching them
grow, all of these things far outbalance the crowded.
noisy overheated city apartment houses where the peo-
pie do not know their nextdoor neighbors and never
enough about them inquire about their health.
The big city man has such distances travel each
day that he seldom his family long enough to get
acquainted, and he has time for study little for re-
Aection for his friends if they interrupt what he
calls 'hs business hours" An abode; place to eat
seldom more than two meals day is all the city man
has-not home. On the other hand when the small
town refers to his "home" he means home in
every sense.
The main trouble with the man who sympathizes
with those who live in small towns is that he lives
where it crowded that even his brain has not had
chance to work.-Clear Lake, Ia., Reporter.

Life At It's Best

Observing the inconvenience and sometimes dis
comforts of city e some of the brethren of the coun
try press taking shot the city dweller and
phasizng the unfortunate position of the citizen who
contrves to spend his life in some quiet town of the
country says writer the Seattle Post Intellgencer
The country gentleman whether the street
cars run or not he is not concerned with the electric
light plant the supply having his reliable
kerosene lamps and good well in working order for
emergency use. He is not afraid that 100000 of his
will out of coal at once and freeze to
DEATH because the old grove on the east forty is cap
able of furnishing his fuel should his supply of five
cords of sawed and split wood that he has in his wood
shed become depleted. He lives away from the mass
and his small wants not pushed and crowded by
the small wants of hundreds of thousands of other
people. He feels that if there is anything that he
really needs that he does possess he go and
procure it any morning without much trouble, and he
is generally quite right about it.
Charles NJ. Forton, of Hadley, N. Y, cites the
of the city and the country citizens in recent
issue of Golfers Weekly. Writes Mr. Horton:
The man who started the back-to-the farm move
ment had something! The man who shouted, "Back
to nature" said something. The advice was directed
at city dwellers of course because folks who were
living out of the cities already did not need it.
He takes up the case of the SIS week married
man, who hardly exists in the city, and shows what
he is accomplishing in the country town:
clerk in the store here gets SIS week, owns
his own home and boat on the lake and jitney,
goes hunting in the north woods in the fall fishes
evenings and days off without NUMBER picks berries,
kills his beef in the fall raises his own pigs, has
piano and library and silver service and linen,
modern pictures the walls good rugs on the floors,
mission furniture around the rooms twin BEDS dog
two CATS a bear rug, low ceilings, plain wall paper,
electric fixtures everything in short, that the city
dweller has, wants, but can't have-and he is a
clerk in grocery store at SIS week. And he had
these things when he getting $18-six months
ago, before he got raise had MORE in fact because
he owned trotting horse that could go some this
animal has since died.
The writer himself was beguled from the country
to the city under the common belief that the city is
the only place for the man of ambition who would
60 far. He had brains, in measure; he had money,
in sure,and then he tossed the whole thing up
in the air and made back for the country where he
now exists in contentment. And when one sees city

human want, living from hand to mouth, and worry
