Heal ThyseIf
By Horriet French


At the altar rail Of st. Johns
Church, Lafayette Square, on
recent rainy afternoon, one could
dimly see q row Of kneeling fig
.ures. Agnes Sanford and Frank
r. Wilson, assistant minister
were holding a healing service
After a few words, inaudible from
q distance, the group returned tn
their pews. But they soon eager
ly gathered around Agnes San
ford. The time scheduled for
this interview was fast slipping
away.
At last, with but few minutes
left, this writer with so many
questions reached Mrs. Sanford.
When asked how she accounted
for her marvellous gift of healing,
Agnes Sanford replied: II have
no natural gift; what l have
learned about prayer, any one
can learn; any one can learn to
pray with power and any one can
learn to keep himself in health
by prayer. My own need forced
me to learn. But please don't
say that I am a healer. God is
the healer.
Common sense comes into it, +"
continued Mrs. Sanford. my
book, The Healing Light is
really a textbook and the expert
mentS outlined in each chapter
should be practiced before going
on to the next chapter. Ever so
many people are practicing and
accomplishing healing. I have
known hundreds of people who
have been healed. Some think
intelligence and will power are
the requirements, but the gen.
eral principle is to arouse the
creative powers within us by the
use of imagination"
Religious Background
Agnes Sanford has a back
ground of religion. Her father,
grandfather and great grand
father were Presbyterian minis
ter. Her father and moth
er. DR.. and Mrs. Hugh w. White,
were Southern Presbyterian mis-
sionaries, and were in Kashing,
China, at the time of Agnes
birth. After being tutored by
her mother and having a year
at the American School in
Shanghai, Agnes came to
America to study at the Peace
Institute, Raleigh. N. c., and at
Agnes Scott College in Atlanta.
Ga.
She returned to China and
taught in st. Mary's Episcopal
School in Shanghai. There she
met the Rev. Edgar L. Sanford,
q missionary of an Episcopal
mission. They were married and
lived two years in China before
returning to the States. DIR.
Sanford was asked to be the
minister of Trinity Church in
MooreStown, N. j.. He accepted
the charge and the Sanfords
lived in Moorestown for %
years.
They have three grown chill
dren and are now living in
Westboro, Mass. AS the children
grew older, Mrs. Sanford had
more time for study and writing.
In addition to her widely read
1.-THE Healing Light" she has
written "Oh, Watchman," a
book for young people, and Lost
Shepherd" a history of people
more advanced in faith.
Mrs. Sanford also works with
pastels and has had some of her
pictures exhibited. She "loves
gardening passionetely" and has
an abiding interesI in dramatics.
She and her husband have
