HEALING BY FAITH. Chicago Reformed Episcopal Church to Treat Body as Well as Boul. A new and important departure has been taken by St Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church of Chicago, under the leadership of Bishop Samuel Fal rows. The church has added healing of the body to its spiritual ministra tions, following somewhat along the ones pursued by Christian Scientists, although with several fundamental di ferences. Christian psychology, as ex plained by Bishop Fallows, does not ignore physicians as does Christian Science, but works hand in hand with the medical profession, and the work of healing undertaken at St Paul's will be applied only to such patients as are suffering from disorders in which the action of the mind plays an important part. Cure of organic dia easea will not be attempted, although patents suffering from them will be aided as far as possible by suggestion, faith and persuasion. ‘The dinesmes and weak women to which Christian psychology is to be applied at St Paul’s are functional nervous disorders, hypothondria, in somnia, nervous dyspepsia, meli chella, mental depression, hysteria, neurasthenia, the drug habit, the liquor habit, want of self-confidence, irrita bility, worry, anger, fear and weakness of will. The clast of cases I, which we cure wil be attempted are bone ltee typheid fever, scarlet fever, small pox and other disorders of that na ture. Tie be pursued at St. Pant's will be similar In nature to that which has been carried on In Boston for the last sixteen months at the Boston Em manuel Church, of the Episcopal de nomination, and which is declared by Bishop Fallowa to have met with amaz ing success. Rev. Dr. Worcester and Rev. Dr. McComb are the ministers in charge of the work at Emmannel Church and they are effecting many cures weekly. “They work hand in hand with some of the most eminent neurologists and physicians of Boston, says Bishop Fallows “That is what we at St. Paul's will do as regards the neurologists of Chicago. I have broached the subject to some of them, and they are most enthusiastic over the idea. Which is characterized by them as excellent, Christian psychology reaches, through the medium of the church, many patients with whom the regular medical practitioners can do nothing, or little, often because they cannot give enough time to the individual case. Christian psychology works through the influence of mind, suggestion, will power and persuasion, all based on re ligion and religious beliefs. The Bible and the infinite God are behind It all,” continued Bishop Fallows. “The sub jects, however, who come for treat ment do not have to be believers in Christianity. They may be out and out pagans. ‘That does not affect the workings of the laws of God, and Christian psychology can and will cure unbelievers as well as the most devout Christians.” Bishop Fallows, who was born In England In 183%, has led an ‘ive and afluent career. He came to this coun ty in 1845, settling in Wisconsin, and 1851 was ordained In the Methodist Episcopal Church. During the Civil war he served a colonel and was brevetted brigadier general. He served three terms as State Superintendent of public instruction in Wisconsin and in 187S united with the Reformed Episco pal Church, being consecrated bishop the following year. Since 1875 he has been rector of St. Paul's Church, Chi cago. The bishop has other theories besides healing through Christian psy chology. He believes that Christianity ‘s a good deal a matter of the kind of food we eat. “If every child was scientifically fed, he says, “we'd have no moral baseness, no weatal deprav ity and no spiritual ignorance.” His system of Christian healing will be followed with a good deal of interest, ALL AROUND THE GLOBE.
