Explains Bible Miracles.
DR.. Barry's paper took up the ques-
ton from the standpoint of the psy-
chologist. Conditions, he said. have
changed since the days of the miracles
cited in the Bible. The world no
longer speaks of conflict between
the church and science, and the idea
of what miracle really is has
changed. too. he declared.
"Our modern psychologists, he con-
tinued. "glibly explain demon possess
sion as obSession. dementia and so
forth. and proceed TO explain Christ's
cure as demonstration of the power
Of suggestion sometimes offering the
same explanation for the healing of
miracles. We say: 1T was only sug-
geStion.'
But even supposng this explana
tion is satisfactory, we do not go FAR
enough. We do not inquire how Jesus
managed to get his suggestion ac-
cepted by the patient. Why don't the
modern psychologists. or suggestive
therapeutists, get the same results
which Jesus got. if they are merely
the results Of suggestion. These all
seem to overlook the marvellous per-
Sonality of Jesus himself.
NO explanation is anything but
futile which makes Jesus himself
unimportant while magnifying His
method. 1t was from himself that the
dynamic forces came that produced
the cures"

PHYSICIAN PRAISES
FAITH HEALING"
Dr.. Sinclair Bowen Tells So
ciety of Nazarene Religion
Medicines Greatest Aid.

Religion and medicine are lnscpa-
rably related in the agency OF heal
ing. they being the two most impor-
tant elements in human life now. pr
Sinclair Bowen told the annual con
ference of the Society of the NaZarene
when it resumed its sessions today
In Trinity Episcopal Church, Third
and & streets northwest.
pr. Bowen was the first of several
prominent speakers to discuss the
problem, THE Agencies of Healing"
The question was taken up in frank
statements from the standpoints of
religion, medicine, psychology and
metaphysics, Rev. T.. b. Holmes
speaking TO the latter and a paper
by Rev. DR.. Frank r. Barry. profess
sor of the New Testament in Kings
College. London, being read on the
former subject.
Prnises Faith Healing.
Or. Bowen said that he would put
religion before medicine in the mat
Ter of Importance to civilization to-
day. although both are 'inseparably
related. Science might AS well at
tempt 10 separate love from the heart
as TO disasSociats religion. The as
sistance that the churches are lend :
ing the medical profession through
faith healing, he said, il tremendous.
tor. the speaker. continued. "ha 5
taught me that the patient who CO.
operates most cheerfully with the
doctor. who is the most faithful and
he most helpful, invariably is the
man or woman with a really personal
religion. On the other hand. the most
critical patients usually are those
without any religion or merely a per-
functory sort OF faith.
:Relirion D1uSt NOT and rneS
dismiss medicine from consideration.
No doubt. God could maintain us
without food or clothing or medicine.
But he does not. And therefore there
is no more reason TO suppose that we
could be independent of medicine
than We could of food and clothing.
These supplies were put into the
world for us in their crude form. To
enjoy their benefits we must work for
them"
Sny Churches Are I.aN.
The reason for that is quite easy
to understandable answer il appar-
ent. Work is the best thing In the
world for mankind. Work is the
foundation OF service. and service
brings us more closely into contact
with Jesus Christ. The more service
"ne gives. the less one complains.
The less servic" u man gives. the
more discontinued he is. Th: worst
evil TO civilization . i not 80 much
The sinner as the man who does moth
ing at all
Referring to the recent growth Of
healing cults outside of the churches
DR.. Bowen said that the reason for
rht,ir popularity is that the churches
itave not done their full duty iowa r'i
mankind by teaching the doctrine Of
faith healing themselves.
Had they done 50. such cults would
not now exist. he asserted, adding with
emphasis:
''Ot ali my long association with the
nurses at Columbia Hospital here.

and most OF whom attend church regu-
larry. | never met one who had been
taught the philosophy Of spirituai
healing through their churches But

ABSOLUTE ZERO HAS
NOT BEEN REACHED

Science assures us that there ID II
definite limit to the lowest conceivable
temperature, and that this may be
placed with conceivable accuracy at
450 degrees below zero on the Fahren-
heit scale.
1t Is held that at all temperatures
above this absolute zero" particles
OF matter, either solid or gaseous, are
in state Of vibration, the more rapid
vibrations corresponding to the great
er degree Of heat. All such vibrations
would cease entirely at absolute zero
and all gases would llqu8fy and even
solldify before reaching this absolute
zero point.
Many experiments, extending over
long period OF years, were necessary
to attain this knowledge. Liquid air,
with its 312 degrees below zero, was
great advance on previous records,
although still over 100 degrees above
this absolute zero. LIQUID hydrogen,
at minus 400 degrees, or 81 absolute,
was a still greater advance, and when
this was frozen into solid hydrogen
"lce" at 432 degrees below, or n de-
grees absolute, II seemed as II science
had gone as far as It could in this di.
rection, But not so long ago the rare
gas hellum was liquehed at minus AL
degrees. When this was boiled under
reduced pressure temperature Of mi
nus 454 was reached, or only five de
grees above absolute zero Slightly
lower temperatures can undoubtedly
be reached, but II Is said that, even
with the most refined methods, there Is
little likelihood of our ever attaining
absolute zero

WHERE CENTRAL
QUITS AT NIGHT
Continuous Service Exceptional In
Australla's state-ownsd Central
Offices.

Continuous telephone service avail
able ut any hour of the day or night.
every day in the year, is the general
practice In the United States, and in.
ability to have such service always
at hand would seem extremely incon.
venient to the average American. In
most foreign countries. however, II
is taken for granted, except in the
larger cities, that only at certain
hours in the daytime is 1t possible to
use the telephone.
In Australia, for example, where the
telephones and telegraphs are op-
Grated by the Government, less than
ten per cent of the telephone ex-
changes remain open throughout the
night. The other 90 per cent. close in
the early evening and their telephones
are "cut of" generally. until Q o'clock
the next morning. At these exchanges
also telephone service is not regularly
given on Sundays; and on public holi,
days these central oflces are open
only for an hour or so. At more than
70 per cent. Of the total telephone
exchanges in Australia not over nino
hours of telephone service IL rendered
even on week days. In fact. at many
Australian exchanges service IL given
for only eight hours a day during the
week, and not at all on Sundays.
Not only are Australians, outside
the large cities, generally restricted
to daytime usage Of the telephone, but
more than 81 per cent. Of the tele.

nent shut up shop also in the middle
OF the day for luncheon period" Of
one hour. II telephone service is de-
sired during this intermission notice

In addition, more than 20 per cent.
Of the Australian exchanges have a
weekly half holiday" closing from 0

There are also over 800 central Offices
at which the hours Of service are
merely arranged between Z A. M. and
II p M, according to requirements Of
subscribers served and local arrange
ments" In short, the average Aus
tralien needs a timetable to tell him
