Impressive Service.
Before the laying on of hands be-
gan and during all the services, the
organ played softly, familiar hymns as
the sufferers filed down the aisle to
the chancel, up the steps and across
to the rail. Rich and poor. black and
white kneeled side by side in silence.
Mr.. Hickson worked from his right to
his left, laying his hands upon the
heads of two persons at a time, re-
peating a short prayer. Then he
had reached the end of the rail- walked
rapidly back to the other end of a
new line of patients.
Stand to Hear Lecture.
Many were willing to stand to hear
the lecture of Mr.. Hickson at the
cathedral last night. No laying on
of hands was administered, as the
lecture was intended to give Mr.. Hick-
son a full opportunity to explain his
belief to those interested, which
proved to be more than two thousand.
Not many crippled or sick persons
were present at the lecture. Nearly
all of last nights audience were nor
mai men and women who listened at
tentively to the clear and logical ex-
pounding of the Englishman's doc
trfne of divine healing. A part of the
program different from the proceed
lngs OF the morning was the singing
OF number OF familiar hymns.

come when the whole world is asking
the question Do we want anything

Every good doctor knows his limita-

doctor says no more can be done that
no more CAN be done. The Creator
is always greater than His creation.
He Is the same as He was of old if
we will only turn to Him. So the sick
and afflicted would look once more
to the source from which all healing
comes Then we know there is no
Limitation OF help for anyone. There
is only one healer, no matter what the
channel of healing may be.
Tn Man AZ Medicine
III God has put healing into vege-
table and mineral matter as medicine
for the human body. can He not put
His healing power into the body of
man ?" Mr.. Hickson asked earnestly
The difference between his faith and
the doctrine of Christian Science was
carefully explained by the speaker.
