It is not possible for us to say positively that this unreasoning faith is wrong, but the facts as we see them are certainly against such a belief. Because of this t faith, and because nature is eternally at work healing our wounds, many demonstrations of the healing power have been made. One of the most notable of made by Dr. C. 8.

The Commit- tee throughout, sought to deal with all data in a dispassionate way, but it has obviously been impossible for them not to be touched by the tragedy of one home, where the father, the bread-winner of the family, and a most estimable man, brooded over the failure of his little daughter, a cripple from a street accident, to receive the healing announced by Rev. C. S. Price, and who, as a result of despon- dency, went violently insane. +(4) The method of treat- ment used by Rev. C. S. Price was, in the judgment of the Committee, that of suggestion, partly in its ordinary form, but mainly in the form of hypnotic suggestion. (For an explaina- tion of the scientific meaning of the term "suggestion" see the report, section 8.) In making this statement they do not wish to be 00d as questioning understood the fact tht ndoubted spirit- ual' benefi ( received by many through ministrations of the Rev. C. S.

Ths the absence of the structural changes which always accom- pany organic disease, they were directly amenable to mental treatment. © Many such cures are reported in the records of "shell-shock" and other similar cases treated in recent years in in Canada. This list of cures has been ex- tended to farthest limit which the facts adduced by personal "investigation would warrant.

The pitiful part is the wondérful faith that is doomed to disap- pointment. A real fact of life is death. Another real fact is pain. The lesson is courage and a thorough belief in the immortality of the soul.. . ' The danger of this teaching regarding "divine healing" lies in the feeling that the person who is not cured lacks" faith, and many very fine Christian people have made themselves unutterably miserable because they felt that their "lack of faith" was the cause of failure of "divine healing" for them- selves, or for their friends. While much is said about a lack of religious sense today, it is certain that many suffer mental torment because they blame themselves for what is no fault of theirs. It takes a sublime faith to travel some miles to receive "anointing for healing" for in- growing toenails; pyorrhoea, tumor, ete., and if the cure does not follow, there is no need: for *| self condemnation, nor has an enthusiastic evangelist the right to give the impression that the victim is to be condemned. The very fact that they are willing to be "anointed for healing" shows sufficient faith if healing is possible.. It takes wonderful faith and courage to face the criticism of neighbours and the habits of a life time to accept the new doctrine perhaps when the body has suffered for years and the mind has suffered with the body. It is cruel to add to such suffering, and no precedent is set for such action by the Master who effected the cures during his ministry. Here is another phase of the subject .of "healing." It is a page from a book by Hunter, en- titled "Pep." "Pep means Poise, Efficiency, Peace. This message is one of joy, hope, health, optimism and good cheer.

G. Hutcheson, Jack Miner is a grown up boy who has had sense enough and the simple faith necessary to hold on to his youthful dreams and make something out of them. And he done it in the face of the same kind of op- position that has to be faced in all small communities. Stephen Leacock wrote a book called "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town," and the pictures of small town life in it are good; but they are no more accurate than Jack Miner's picture of what he terms the "retired fail- ure"'--the man who haunts the street corner "chewing the rag" and tobacco, making fault find- ing criticism, but no helpful suggestions. We all know the type; but the knowledge did not interfere with Jack Miner's dream of bringing Canada geese yearly to his home at Kingsville, Ontario. That dream was the neighbour- hood joke; but "he laughs best who laughs last," and now the joke is on the other fellow. Jack Miner is known from one end of Canada to the other as a great naturalist. He is not a "dry-as- dust" naturalist, but a human being who uses simple language and has an observant eye that is willing to be taught. He doesn't pretend to know it all; but has gone into the study with an open mind. Running all through Jack Miner's address is a strong re- ligious vein. Indeed he says that he owes his ability to read, and to speak in public, to his work with a class of boys in Sun- day School. They were his in- speration. « His method of introducing his religious teachings i8 not argumentative but is full of good sense. He claims that he found his first game laws in the 22nd chapter of the book of Dueteronomy, and he further claims that if this game law were properly observed there would be no need of further game laws. Here it is. "If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree, or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the mother sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the mother with the young. Thou shalt 'surely let the mother go, but the young thou mayest take unto thyself, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days." If this law were followed Jack Miner says that the promise in the 1st chapter of Genesis and the 26th verse, would be fulfil- led--*and let them have domin- ion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." But such proper control can never be enjoyéd so long as men ly for the pleasure of killing. Another ound taken by Jack Miner is that the "wild" birds are not wild--we are the wild creatures. As he puts it-- "if you saw a man with a knife in one hand and a "pistol in the other chasing you to take your life, 'and you ran to hide in a cellar, would you. think that you were "wild"? Certainly the re- sults achieved by Jack Miner ve the conquering power of ndness.

Not only do geese congregate in the "sanctuary" but many ducks take advantage of the food of- fered. Jack Miner's estimate of the Canada gander is very high, and his story of "David and Jonathan is a wonderful picture of bird devotion. Incidently to the care of free birds, have grown up many features of interest to commun- ity welfare. The ball grounds where from fifty to a hundred young folks can enjoy clean sport; the reforestation of tree- less lands; the beautiful arbors and vistas of climbing roses these are some of the outgrow- ths of a life devoted to simple loving-kindness. The tile maker who lacked many early advantages has become a figure of national importance. -The keynote of his growth has been kindly naturalness. We have to thank the I. O.
