planning its underlying principles. A

Yesterday morning Mr.. Hall said in
part:
Christian healing was brought. to
the notice of the church by James
Moore Hickson about one year ago,
depends simply upon vital faith in
God as revealed in His Son Jesus
Christ. God is real, all-loving, all
powerful, all present. Among His
laws is the law of prayer. Prayer *
a deep mystery. In it we do not seek
tc Change Gods will, but to co-ope-
rate with Gods will. 1t is His viii
that men shall be holy, clean, and
kind. And yet men sin. 1t is His
will that men shall be healthy, and
vet people are sick ;. Sin is not His
will for us. nor is sickness. God
?ermits sickness. He does not will it
kecause. He does not will sickness
we are to fight it by every means, b.:
doctors, surgeons, medicine, santa
tion. and proper self-controlled way:
of living and by prayer. God will
not do for us, for our bodies, ou.
minds, or our souls. what we ought
t. do for ourselves. We are warned
that there are dangers in this under
taking . 1t is true. There are dam
gers everywhere. The danger is
great even in coming to the Holy
Communion if one comes ignorant!r
