CHURCH'S AID IN HEALING Contending Opinions on Emmanuel Movement Many Doctors Send Patient to Church to Be Healed. BOSTOX. May 14. The outlook for vis-' Jble church unity was a topic which Sreatly Interested a large audience today At the Episcopal Church congress, which concluded its sessions after a number of men had spoken. The conclusion reached was that there cannot be visible church unity without full recognition of the va lidity of the priesthood and sacramental system. One of the speakers expressed the opinion that no help toward the desired end can be expected from the Roman Catholic Church, until the idea of a pri macy at Rome supplants that of the papacy. Bishop Doane, of Albany, thought that visible church unity is not likely to be realized. Sentiment on Church Unity. A review of the congress was given tonight by Rev. Edward T. Sullivan, of Kewton. editor of the Church Militant. Mr. Sullivan said: "The congress was one of the most suc cessful sessions of recent years, both in point of attendance and In the quality of papers and addresses. Many views held in one spirit rather than one view held in many spirits, as Phllipps Brooks once said, is the only kind of unity that any. church should have. This princi ple -a abundantly illustrated at this congress. The Episclpal Church showed that it held, very many views in one plrlt on every subject that came up for discussion. Church and Mental Healing. The two most live subjects were gam bling and psychotherapy. Dr. Darlington, of New York, flatly declared that heal ing was no business of the minister, and Dr. McComb, of Emmanuel Church, de clared that doctors were, sending their patients to his church to be healed. He declared that the attitude of the doctors wu that, if people cannot be cured in the orthodox way, they could not be cured at all. The clergy were in flat opposition .to each other on the subject. "It was a unique feature of this con gress that the operations on the stock exchange were put before the people of the Episcopal Church as largely benefi cent and orthodox and that it was only an exceedingly small part of the transac tions that were illegitimate." Plan of Unity Proposed. The plan of church unity was pro posed by Dr. H. H. Oberly. of Eliza beth, N. J., and Is as follows: First Each denomination to retain tem porarily its independent existence, gov erned by its own laws and officers, sub ject to the bishop of the diocese as president and having the sole right of ordination and confirmation. Second Each denomination to use the sacramental form and repeat the creeds publicly, in other respects to be free as to forms1 of worship. Third All ministers to be recognized as holding a ministerial office and as pos sessing the prophetical gift, but to re ceive ordination to the priesthood, sup plementing what powers they already piuisecs'anl making them '"priests of the church of God." Fourth All people to receive confirma tion and thus be admitted to the com munion of the Catholic Church. Inter communion to be encouraged. Priests to celebrate at each other's altars. Ex changing pulpits means nothing. but blessing altars means everything. Fifth Proselyting and rivalry between churches to cease. REBEL PLANS EXPOSED Mexican Conspirators Intended to Seize Border Towns. TOMBSTONE. Ariz.. May ll.-The prosecution introduced more letters in the Matron. Vlllareal. Rivera trial today. Translations revealed elaborate plans for attack on several Mexican towns near the border to gain a foothold for the Mexican liberal party and work for the overthrow of the Diaz gov ernment. Custom-Hcuses were to be seized and government buildings occupied. All letters cautioned against attack on Americans, to avoid intervention, which was to be feared more than repulses by Mexican .troops. Telegrams, papers, commissions, etc., seized by the Arizona rangers in a raid on the Douglas junta were admitted In evidence. All deal with plans of attack on the Mexican border and carefully out lined expeditions to hold these cities against the Mexican troops. Circulars were to have been secretly distributed among the Mexican soldiers to enlist their sympathy in the revolution. The most sensational event of the day occurred when Juan Vasques was placed on the stand. Vasquez was a member of the junta and was arrested with the remaining members at the raid in Sep tember, 1906. He began to relate the history of the secret organization at Douglas, its plans and movements, with which he was actively identified. It is understood Vasquez has been granted Immunity for turning state's evidence. OREGON ORATOR WINNER V. K. Gwynn, of Forest GroTe, Takef Place In Prohibition Contest. . TACOMA. Wash.. May 14. W. E.
