Tracy possesses the divine gift of
healing"
"He has had this power from child
hood, just as others have gift for
music or drawing" said MIR. Ericsson.
He was brought up to work in his
fathers hardware store in Coksto,
Minnesota. He went to war, and has
now decided to use this power which
the Lord has given him for His work
"He is unusual in, this respect, that
he possesses not only the gift of heal
ing, but of spiritual discernment His
diagnoses have astonished and convinced
several practicing physicians. He pre-
fers that the individual who comes to
him for healing should not explain the
nature of his illness; he wishes to make
his own diagnosis unaided. We cannot
fail to believe in him when we hear
the success of his diagnosis.

'I do not acccde to the popular theory
that it is easier for the faith healer to

nervous illness is caused by burden

Macmillan Sails for Island
OF Beauty Hidden i'm North

Is Objective of Little Band of Explorers

WISCASSET, Me-, July 16.-Donald
B. Macmillan and six adventurous fol-
lowers sailed down the Sheepscot
River to-day bound for Baffin Land.
They were cheered by 1000 friends and
admirers, including Governor Baxter,
the explorers classmate at Bowdoin
College, as the little schooner Bowdoin
left the wharf.
An attempt to map Baffin Land, the
vast Arctic island southwest of Green
land whose 1900 miles Of unexplored
western coast line is as much mys-
gator, William Bafin, announced it's
discovery in 1916, is the main objec-

The tiny 115-ton schooner Bowdoin,
which carries the party north, was
built at East Boothbay, Me.
She was named for MacMillan's alma
bodies all the essentials for resisting
terrific ice packs. The crew consists
OF six men: The vessel is of the Glou-

sheathed with ironwood, 81 feet long,
with draft of 91a feet Crude oil
engines capable Of developing sixty
horsepower are included in. her equip

Bowdoin also carries stores and provi-
