Doctor and Minister

Another move toward faith-healing is taken by formal action of the Episcopal Church. The Medical Committee appointed at Portland last September was headed by Dr. Edward S. Cowles, director of the Park Avenue "body and soul" hospital. Announcement is now made that the " National Association for the Advancement of Scientific Healing," has been formed with Dr. Cowles at the head. Its motto is mens sana in corpore sano. Officers are William G. McAdoo, George Gordon Battle, Samuel Untermyer, Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Rev. J. Howard Melish. Thomas A. Price is Secretary and Edward H. Coy (captain and fullback at Yale in 1909) is Treasurer.

The objects of the association are: "To correlate the work of the labor leader, capitalist, psychologist, sociologist, eugenist, and all other persons or groups interested in maintaining the health of the people, and to bring about a closer co-operation betwen the clergy and the medical profession."
