Sponsored by a special commission after.six,’years ’study ,a recommendation that the Protestant Episcopal Church should give faith healing its official recognition to-day held a place on the,, calendar of the church . convention for early consideration.

We. ask the convention thankfully to recognise the deepening spiritual life of , the church which has come through the growing recognition of the healing, power of God. We hpve come to three conclusions: First, spiritual healihg has , become the belief and 1 practice of a large and increasing number of persons; second, its value* Cannot. longer be questioned; third, while faith, in any supposed remedy produces, some effect the vital faith in God ,as revealed in Christ is fob lowed, by .resists which are more jast-; ing , and ! more evidently spiritual in character. We recommend that faith, healingbe conducted in cooperation withmedical science and practice.”
