12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, DECE3IBER 29, 1923 11 IS DECLARED ABLE TO HEAL BODY Coue Theories Accpted by . Dr. W. T. McElveen. THIRD ADDRESS GIVEN f . .sua Kxploration of Auto-Suggestion Method of Faith and Heal ing Continued by Pastor. Further exploration of the auto euggestive theories of Emile Coue, with firll. acceptance of the broad principle upon which that psycholo gist bases his faith and his healing, was found in Dr. W. T. McElveen's third public address on the subject, as delivered last night to a large audience at First Congregational Church. . "Luke, in his gospel, says that Jesus opened the minds of his dis ciples'," said Dr. McElveen. "He did more than give them instruc tions; he made their minds capable of receiving and digesting that in-j structlon. He did more than spread the truth before them; he made them greedy for it. He gave them in formation, but he first made their minds hospitable to it. An open ynind is as necessary as an open Bible. This is the basis of Professor Coue's methods. ( Disciples' Minds Opened. "It is interesting to notice how Jesus opened the minds of his dis ciples. He prodded their minds. He didn't so much tell them what to think, as he stirred them to do their own thinking. He asked questions; lie told parables; he put his thoughts in epigrammatic forms. He iBeavord to provoke them to do their own thinking, not to think the thoughts of others. The fact of God is the greatest of all facts; but that lact will verify itself only to those who give it access to loving, assimi lating minds. ' "Such a mind can do wonders. The achievements of the human' mind excite our wonder and com mand our admiration. The alert, adventurous mind has scaled the heavens, counted the stars, weighed end analyzed the planets and halted rays of light from far distant nebulae and compelled them to tell of their chemical composition. How ever, in doing all this the human mind has consciously used only a part of its powers. That is Emiie Coue's contention. Unconscious Mind Ever Awake. "While the achievement of the conscious mind must not be under rated, we must keep in mind that the conscious mind is but the ante chamber of the unconscious mind. This unconscious mind never sleeps. During our physical sleep it is act ive. It supervises many of our physical processes. We are scarcely aware that ws breathe; we do not know that our blood circulates; we know very little of the activities of our hearts, lungs, kidneys and di gestive apparati. Our conscious mind has nothing to do with these activities. "Dr. McElveen answered a question about the unconscious mind. He ac knowledged that Professor Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard, in his book on "Psycho-therapy," insists that there is no such thing as an unconscious mind. He taught that there is no lower mind distinct from a more apparent mind; it is all one mind. But Dr. Coriat, one of Pro fessor Munsterberg's associates, he pointed out, in his book, "Abnormal Psychology," speaks on almost very page of the unconscious or subconscious mind. "We lay folks," said the Congre gational minister, "needn't enter into this battle of words. We can be content with uttering the simple truth that we have larger minds than we are aware of. Our minds are like a continent that we have . discovered but that we haven't ex plored. We may not have dual minds as we have two eyes and two ears and two lungs. But there is more of our minds than we work. A vast area of mental activity exists outside of our awareness, and Emile Coue says 'get the unconscious mind to accept and assimilate the regenerative idea and that idea gains tremendously in power." ' Attention Is Neeesxary. "To cultivate an acceptive mind one must pay attention to an idea. Attention is the power of the mind by which the focus of the conscious ness is held steadily upon an idea. It is the mind resting upon an idea to the exclusion of all other ideas. Attention can be selective. We can stay in the presence of an idea. We can soak in its values; we can ab sorb its nutriment. That is what Emile Coue calls 'absorbing atten tion." "Attention is not so much a mat ter of will as of delight and inter est. You will recall that Mr. Dooley said to Mr. Hennessy, 'It does not much matter what you study so long as you don't like it.' Mr. Dooley is describing a college education. Pro fessor Coue declares that Mr. Doo ley is mistaken. He urges us to clothe our attention with emotion, Interest and fondness, and assures us that if we will give time and assimilating thought to accepting a truth, that truth will hold us in the Grip of its reality and work won ders in our bodies, minds and spirits. THE members of the younger set will be interested in the mar riage of Leonard Greer, son of Mrs. W. F. Greer, and Miss Edith Hough, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Romeyiyn Hough, which occurred in Lowville, N. Y., December 26. Mrs. Greer went east to attend the wed ding.

Oil Painting.. PAINTINGS in oil on canvas, when well chosen and rightly placed, form the richest and most beautiful decoration possible for the walls of room. But beautiful paintings. like beautiful women, should not be so crowded together that their in dividual charm is lost. Portraits, when really good, give a dignified human quality to a room and a really lovely landscape or bit of sea and sky, bring the weary householder an ever fresh sense of the beauty of the out-of-doors. The old-time conventional fruit, flower and bird canvas, of which we have spoken, gives always a pleasing color note and is a joy to the eye. Colorful and strongly decorative paintings and panels are appropriate for the modern vein of decoration. The danaer in the modern small house or apartment is that several canvases placed in a roftm, however beautiful they may be, may prove too heavy In effect for the size of the room. The weight can some times be lightened by Judicious framing, a matter which will be treated later at length. It is very important that the pictures in a room should harmonize in general tone with the entire color sch6me unless they are especially desired to furnish a piquant note of contrast. UorioldPioHoiny bu Lilian Tiiujlo TOLEDO. Or.. Dpc. 14. Dear Miss Tinnle: Will you kindly rive me a fe hints about conducting a "shower" for a bride-elect? MRS. F. W. 5. A "SHOWER" may be given 'u con XI nection with a breakfast, din ner, luncheon, supper or afternoon tea. Only intimate friends of the bride-to-be should be invited and very great tact and good judgment is needed by the hostess in order, on the one hand, to avoid making the affair a burden to the friends, or, on the other hand, loading the unfor tunate bride-elect with a number of rather useless inexpensive objects. That is one of the reasons for the passing of the "shower" fad. In the day of its greatest popu larity it became a perfect pest. One hostess would give a- linen shower for a popular, bride-elect; another a cup and saucer shower; another a kitchen shower; another a handker chief shower; another a "beauty" shower; another a garden shower or a bathroom shower, or a stocking or a neckwear shower, until every one was exhausted, both in pocket and in .interest. Tersonaly. if a.showr is desired. I think a kitchen shower is one of the most practical and least burden some and can be made useful and amusing. ' There are nd "new" ways, of course, for every possible variation has been utilized by someone. You can probably think of some method of presentation that has not been used in your particular circle. The dressing up of a broom or LON CHANEY, whose portrayal of the crooked lawyer, Oba diah Strout, in the Metro-SL production of "Quincy Adams Saw yer," which has been booked for the Rivoli theater, seems certain to add to his fame as a character actor, concedes all credit for his success to the fact that circumstances made it necessarv for him to learn the deaf and dumb language as a child. Mr. Chaney's mother and father were both deaf and dumb and little! Lon learned the sign language be fore he learned to talk.. His grand mother founded Colorado's first in stitute for the deaf and blind. It was only natural that Lon should learn to express his thoughts un usually well by a few motions with his fingers or just as often by means of a single gesture or facial ex pression, "Motion picture acting is panto mime highly developed and aided by the use of a few subtitles," ex plained Mr Chaney. "I feel that the circumstances under, which I lived as a boy helped me a great deaKin pantomime acting. "If you will take time to notice the next time you see two or more deaf mutes in conversation you wiil see that they resort to the use of the finger sign language but little, comparatively speaking. One glance conveys a whole paragraph. "Just try to carry on a wordless conversation with someone and you will soon learn that it takes endless patience to perfect gestures and facial expressions and the worst fault of all, to my way of thinking, is over-acting or exaggeration of gesture." Clarence Badger directed "Quincy Adanu Sawyer." Bernard McCon ville wrote the screen adaptation from Charles Felton Pidgin's novel. Xoble Changes Plans. Paul Noble, manager of the Lib erty, sent the writer a long list of attractions, plans and numerous other things in connection with the Liberty, Columbia and Peoples, and concluded with "outside of the above and the lights all being out for two hours and plenty of work to do there is nothing else. I thank you." That's right, Paul, keep pleasant. Incidentally, the Liberty manager wants it generally known that he cut up the question of the two mid night matinees to the public and the majority voted emphatically in favor of but just one midnight matinee and that one on Sunday night. So that's that! The Liberty's midnight matinee is practically complete with the fol lowing stunts assured: K.eates fun fest and overture; 15 minutes of music in Hawaii; Signor Charles' posing gladiators; Liberty burlesque fashion review; Avidson's ace or chestra; the Manhattan trio as the "Three Horsemen"; sensational bal loon drop at midnight and New Year's spectacle; amateur acts In abundance. The Liberty's gift of souvenirs this year will be more elaborate than ever and will in clude noisemakers, balloons, horns. mandolins, hats, serpentine and clappers.
