THE CHURCH AND THE MINISTRY OF HEALING.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND OADLB ASSOCIATION.) ' LONDON, Bth May. The-Archbishop of Canterbury; presiding at the. Convocation of Canterbury, during a debate on the ministry of healing, said that the Church ought to. remove the misapprehension, which was considerable,, that the ministry of healing was ■ adverse to tho normal- ministrations of medical men. The use of oil, especially if a benediction has been said over it by bishops, was fraught with it danger that might result in usages which would change the attitude of many half-informed people who were seeking cures for human ailments. The Church might mislead people 'if it underrated the weight attaching to new branches of'knowledge "which'had brought about what seemed miraculous changes, but were really brought about in the providence of God by ' other forces. Extreme caution was required, and it was extraordinarily difficult to decide how much was: physical and how much was spiritual. ■ • ■ •
