different names they are closely
allied. "We believe." he said, "that it
is the duty of the Chritlan miofster
to preach the gospel rather than to
deal in the occult sciences. Of course,
his work is in the realm spiritual. But
we do not believe it Is part of his work
to engage In mesmerism, hypnotism or
mental control. We grant that the
state of the mind often affects the
health to a large extent, and we be
lieve in the- reality of sickness and
death."
IN UNISON WITH DOCTORS
General Opinion Is That Ministry
to Bodllv ffanU Is Secondary to
Spiritual cds Say Movement
Has Scientific Basis.
Almost unanimously ministers) of Port
land hav joined in
n-imiel Movmer.t. Many of tliem de
clare thev have hrcn spiriyirg Its details
f.,r everi.l months. Public expression of
approval and approbation s j
several local pastors yesterday.
At a meelirj; of the Presbyterian minis
ters of the -,ly yesterday forenoon there
wm a general discussion on the subject,
following a paper by Rev. tieorse W.
Arms. Jr.. pastor of Vernon Presbyterian
fhurrh. At the Unitarian Chapel. Sev
enth and Yamhill streets. Sunday evening.
Ke W. U. Kliot. Jr., startled his audi
ence by declaring tliat a minister,
schooled in the laws of normal psychol
ogy, mav by mental sustention cure many
human ills and sometimes prevent death.
As followers of the Lireat Physician,
ministers express their conviction that,
with svit pathetic doctors to diagnose the
cases and treat the body, they will be
able to accomplish wonderful results by
treating the man. In moft cases, minis
ters who have studied the movement con
tend, it the man who Is sick, and not
the body.
Portland Pastors in Favor.
Representatives of everyProtcstant de
nomination in Portland who were inter
viewed yesterday expressed themselves as
heartily In favor of the movement and
prophesied that within a few years It
would be In universal operation in the
church. However, the reservation 1 made
by a majority of the ministers that min
istry to bodily wants mnt ever remain
secondary to ministry to the spiritual
needs of man.
In adapting and approves this new
movement in the church, its supporters
arlrr.it tiie cures of ninny pilgrims to the
Shrine of nur Lady of Lourdes; and they
also conc.-de that many cures have been
made by Christian Science.
"Hut In the Kinmanuel .Movement." said
Rev. Mr. Anns, who has. devoted n great
deal of turiy to the subject, "we have a
movemert entirely within the bounds of
orthodox Christianity and sane philoso
phy as scientific as the study of chemis
try, and as pure as the New "Beetament."
Work Willi Physicians.
In discussing the movement at yeater
day's meeting of Presbyterian ministers,
F.ev. Mr. Arms embraced the whole field
where healing Is accomplished without
tiie aid of medical means; whether ac
complished "by rolli- or shrines, quacks
or charlatans, mesmerists or mental
bealers. or under the name of religion,
or even the name of Christianity."
"The Kmmanuel Movement, as I under
stand it." explained Rev. Mr. Arms.
"aya we believe in the body, in
riiceases. etc.. but have no medical knowl
edge, so give us a clinic with doctors in
sympathy to diapni'se the cases, and if
th'y d- n--t tind lesions, hand the cases
over to us: and where lesions do exist,
I t them treat the body and we will treat
tl:e man. And so irr treating the man.
fr.r It Is almost alwnys the man who Id
sik, and not the body, so great has the
fame of those practicing this movement
gone abroad, and so (treat is their success,
nlthotuth I: is not yet two yeans old, that
they must tu-n away many of those ap
plying for aid."
Ir. I'oulkes Approves.
The 1-JmmanueI Movement takes Its
name from the church In Boston in which
It had its orisin. in February. 1T. by
opcnlnc a clinic. Since then it has spread
wondTftillv. Other churches of other de
nominations in various cities have taken
up the mov merit and it has struck Port
land to uch an extent that many local
ministers are studyirg It carefully.
"Fund amentallM I am as fully in sym
pathy with the movement as 1 could be
with. anything of which 1 know so lit
tle." said Pr. William If. Koulkes, of
the First Presbyterian Church. "The
church should interest itself In the sub
ject. Tuo movement is a pood one and
I t iink we will eventually il:(t nroun.l
to it. Kvery p-istor of a 'church of any
size has people always roiniix to hitii
w't'i just such cases. Trie movement is
conse-iuently valuable in that it cives
a scientific method of treating those
cases."
"I haven't looked into the matter suf
ficiently to cive an intelligent expres
sion as yet." said Dr. W. H. Hepp. of
;rac Methodist KpL-copal Church.
"However, it is attracting wide atten
tion and will be Investigated."
Ir. Dyott Says It Is Xeedetl.
Ir. Luther R. IHott. P. D.. pastor of
the First Congregational Church, said:
"I have attempted to praotlee the sys
tem of psycho-therapeutics embraced in
the Kmmnnue! Movement only to the ex
tent tliat a minister does ordinarily in his
work under the penTal principles of
psycholocv without labeling; his method.
1 have followed the movement very care
fully since its ineepiion in Boston and
have watched the outcome. So far as
taking it up a a specific work is con
cerned I have done noihing.
As to the advisahility of so doing I
should say that the attitude of the minis
try ought to be first of all one of the
most thorough investigation, that Is to
s.iy. that they ought to approach it not
in the spirit of exploitation, but to study
it thoroughly and see what good there Is
in rt: Instead of rushing into it to be
som.-wh.'t conservative, and yet be suffi
ciently b-oad to adopt anything of value
It mav contain. There is no doubt much
K'od in It: hut like everything new there
Is a certain element of danger attending
It. The danker is that certain men. most
aile as p.is-.ors. niiulit not be capable of
taking up a system tl-.at they are not
f'tvi to en.p'.ey. Ministers ought to do
more readu'.if aiong the lines of psychol
ogy. This movement may be who knows
the dawning of soinethinr; that is bound
to have a profound infiiience on hu
manity." i)r. Btnj&min Your.g. pastor of ibe Taylor-Street
MtthodLst church said:
Pr. Young Thinks It Good.
"I have had no experience with the
methods employed by believers in the Km
marrnel Movement, but I have read a
number of articles explanatory of the
system and am heartily in favor of it.
I believe thoroughly in the power of
mind In the treatment of certain condi
tions. The demonstrations of Christian
Science and other schools are proof of
that fact. Mr. KUot's discourse was
timely and suggestive. The subject is
on that will eventually have to be serl
ouslv considered bv pastors everywhere."
F-ider W. F. Martin, pastor of the
.East Portland Seventh. Day Adveutistl
Dr. Brouffher Heartily Approves.
"So far as I understand It." said Dr.
J. Whitromb Brougher. pastor of the
White Temple, "the Kmmanuel move
ment has my hearty approval. Students
of the new psychology are thoroughly
familiar with the healing; power of
mental suggestion. I believe this to
be one of the valuable elements In
Christian Science. Our christian
Science 'rier.ds. however, ascribe their
healing power to "Divine Mind." Instead
of 'Mortal Mind," and make a religion
out of their philosophy.
"I have always believed that every
thing that Christian Science accom
plishes in its healing could be done by
the 'mental healing' process If one were
only an adept In the application of the
new psychology. If "this method can be
co-orrilnated with tiie work of the
regular physician and used by the
Christian church in healing such cases
as may be within its sphere, I believe
great good could be done. I have been
intending for some time to make a
careful study of the subject, and if 1
can find a man who is thoroughly post
ed, whose character Is above reproach
and Is an expert. I would be glad to
introduce the movement Into the work
of the White Temple.
"In spite of some of my criticisms
of Christian Science. I still believe there
Is much good In certain phases of their
philosophy that the Christian Church
could afford to use. So far as I under
stand the iJmmanuel Movement, it is a
successful attempt in applying the law
of mental healing without calling It a
religion."
NO KIX TO CHRISTIAN" SCIENCE
I.nther Cndworth Says Movement Is
Significant in Trend.
Luther P. Cudworth. chairman of the
Christian Science publication committee
for Oregon, said regarding the Emmanuel
Movement:
"We. as Christian Scientists, hold that
Christian Science is in no way akin to
the Kmmanuel Movement or to the men
tal therapeutics which Is probably the
general term for this cult. The consider
ation of the subject of mental healing by
the various denominations can be taken
as an indication that they see the neces
sity of taking some steps toward the
healing of physical disease. The gauge
of Christian Science has been the heal
ing of disease. 1 think this is unques
tionably an indication that there is a
call from the people for healing In con
nection with their religious observances.
This movement seems to be accomplish
ing work along some lines, without,
however, endeavoring to heal disease, the
efforts of Its followers being confined to
the relief of nervous disorders.
"Christian Science, on the other hand,
claims and has evidence of the healing
of every known disease.
"The commands of the Savior were to
heal, not only sin. but disease as well.
It would seem that the general trend of
religion is toward the fulfillment of the
latter command as well as the former.
In the last decade there has been an
awakening to the fact that religion has
as much to do with the healing of the
bodv as of the spirit. To that extent 1
would say thnt the movement In question
Is a significant one."

Battle Creek, Mich.
Postal Inspector O. C. Riches haa sub
stantially finished his Investigation of
the various departments of -the Portland
Postofflee. When the inspection is com
pleted. Mr. Riches, some time this week,
will forward to Washington" an official
report of the result of his investigations.
So far as can be learned the only de
partment In which any irregularity exists
is thnt of the cashier. Charles A. Straus,
whose accounts disclose an . apparent
shortage of at least $3000. Pending an
adjustment or satisfactory explanation
of the situation, Mr. Straus has been
suspended. It was reported yesterday
that the official suspension of Mr. Straus
was ordered by the Postofflee Depart
ment at Washington some time ago when
the discrepancy in his accounts was first
discovered.
Mr. Riches continues Just as reticent
as he appeared when questioned last
week at the time the WOO shortage was
first disclosed. He admitted yesterday
that there probably would be no further
developments in the case until his report
had reached Washington and had been
acted on by the proper officials there.
This report will be completed early this
week and until the officials of the Post
office Department direct some action, the
muddle will remain in its present state.
Postmaster Minto likewise declined to
throw any light on the situation. He ex
plained that he was not personally In
volved In the reported shortage and
under the department rules was pro
hibited from discussing any phase of the
matter.
The Arm of Hartman & Thompson,
bv which Mr. Straus is bonded in the
sum of $7000. has taken no steps to pro
tect itself aside from keeping In close
touoh with the representatives of the
Government who have been making the
Investigation. It Is Improbable that they
will take any definite steps in that direc
tion until the department at wasmngton
has had an opportunity to investigate
the report of Inspector RIcnea ana aeter
mlne on a course of procedure.

Postmaster Minto Secures Inspection
of Local Delivery Routes.
On the application of Postmaster Minto,
T. J. Flavin, Postofflee Inspector from
Washington detailed to the city delivery
service, yesterday made an inspection of
the territory served by the mail delivery
system of the local Postofflee, with a
view to reporting on the request of Mr.
Minto for Ave additionsivcarrlers and one
additional collector for this city. In mak
ing his Investigation of the .service here,
Mr. Flavin was accompanied by Superin
tendent Jones, of the carriers' depart
ment, and Superintendent Leigh, of the
city delivery department of the local of
fice. Postmaster Minto desires to extend
and improve the mail delivery service
here, and in order for him to carry his
plan Into execution the services of at
least six additional men are required.
He has made requisition of the Postofflee
Department for that number of men.
