THE HEALING MISSION!

IL THERE ANYTHING TO
THE HEALING MISSION
1t was Il pleasure far me to attend
one of the meetings at All Saints
1 Episcopal Church where Mr. Henry
Blandfold is conducting Healing
mission and | must say that ! enjoveG
1 the evening very much. For the bene-
/ fit of my friends who have asked M
about my opinion and also for those
who are Interested in the matter |
humbly offer my share of knowledge,
, experience, etc, in order to encour-
ag" faith and ACTON in the minds
Of those who desire truth and wisdom
end who seek salvation from bodily
rs well as spiritual afflictiUn.
Years ago ! was engaged in similar
work that Mn Blandtord is carrying
on now and / am not inexperienced
in the ar, Of healing, nor do lack a
knowledge Of the law by which So
called miracles are and We're per
formed whether they are the healing
Of the sick and afflicted people or the
accomplishment OF some extraordi-
nary thing which is commonly beyond
human power.
As am not affiliated with anv
church organization may be relied
upon to pass an unprecedented opin-
ion as to the merits OF such mission
ana as | am writing this out of my
own vOliliOn for no gain whatever but
for the sole benefit Of those who are
DESTROYS Of knowing something that
Will enlighten their mind on the sub
Ject of religion, ! feel that there will
be at least Il few who will welcome
this explanation. | wish, also, to
reach those who are skeptical and
who do not believe in anything reli-
SiOuS, who denOunce all religious
worship as nonsense unfit for people
who are enlightened and progressive.
Healing is Il science; its success de-
ponds upon the obeying of laws that
are as eternal as the world. There
are two kinds of forces doing healing.
one the genuine, scientific method
which originates in God the other
the perverted, fallacious, unscientific
method which has as its origin, Satan,
evil. | shall cOnfine myself to The
genuine, truthful method which is
Christian.
Jesus Christ was a perfect man, a
triune man. who could not sin be-
cause He had conquered evil and was
master. He was Il true huSband-man
who husbanded all His power and en-
rrgy within Ills body instead of
wasting it like we do. He had stored
up in His brain. power that was so
strong that He not only could heal
the sick and do miracles that aston
ished the multitudes. but He saved
the world with it. What was this
power?
The human brain is the most
unique laboratory in existence, it is
like Il battery, a generator and ac
cumulatOr. ! will explain the power
of healing by using electricity as Il
comparison, because we are mostly
familiar with this wonderful power
for which no explanation is as yet ac-
cepted by the so-called scientific
world. They call it Il mere mode of
motion, some hidden something that
science has failed 10 define How
ever, the fact is that electricity is hut

ergy, one substance (matter) being

ing created. In an ordinary battery
zinc and copper plates are necessary
and acid to eat up the plates. BY
whats is called chemical action"
electricity is created by the destruc-
lion of the plates. Chemistry does not
give the right explanation, but | will
not discuss this now. 1t suffices that
the matter gets finally destroyed and
when the matter (plates) are gone.
new ones are needed because little or
no electricity is created when the
plats are nearly destroyed. So it is
with the human body We eat and
drink and what we put into our body
is transformed through the law of po-
larity either into flesh and blood or
into mind force or 10th. The mental
person transforms it into mental
power chiefly and the materialiSti2
person into flesh and blood, hence
materialist persons are usually, big
ger and heavier than mental persons
A man of means who has large
funds at his disposal can help the
needy if he is inclined to do so bSi
taking from his surplus part of it and
he can continue to do so as long as
his store of supplies lasts. If his
supply is gone he can help but little
or none and if he has no way to re-
plenish this supply, he has reached
the end Of his power to help. SO with
the power of healing.
A healer, | take Christ for an eX
ample, is a person who has husbanded
his forces, accumulated them in his
brain and body and who has sur
plus from which he can give to
others who need it. The laying on of
hands was resorted to in order to ia
cilitate the flowing of the force from
the body of the healer to the body of
the one to be healed Like BATTERY
can be connected to some light bull
or little machine and propel or light
il so can a body of another person
like a machine be affected by the con-
nection of the battery healer to the
one to be healed. But the connection
must be perfect There is a positive
and a negative pole, the wires must
be connected properly or there will
