a believer in divine healing, having
been cured of two serious illnesses by
that method. I want to restore to hu
manity the teachings of Christ. His
healing was not of a miraculous nature.
It was through spiritual manifestation
which even his apostles did not under
stand."

Mra. Mary Martin.
SALEM. Or, May 3. (Special.)
After serving the state for 25
years as nightwatch at the Ore
gon State Insane Asylum; Mrs.
Mary Martin haa submitted her
resignation. There is probably
no state employe who Is known
by so many thousands of people
personally and intimately as
Mrs. Martin, and her leaving
brought a shower of complimen
tary references from prominent
state officials.
Mrs. Martin took up her work
at the asylum in 1887. when Dr.
Harry Lane, now United States
' Senator, was superintendent of
that Institution. She has served
under five superintendents. She
plans to make her home In Port
land with her daughter and her
grandchildren. Mrs. Martin was
the recipient of a handsome chair
presented by employes of the in
stitution. Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, superin
tendent, on receiving word of her
resignation, sent her the follow
ing note, which she prizes highly:
"I regret to recetve your resig
nation. After so many years of
loyal, valuable service, tt seems
too bad we must lose you. You
will be missed by hundreds in
this hospital, and I wish that
your remaining years will be
filled full of comfort and happiness."
