The Religion of Healthy Minded ness

A REMARKABLE MOVEMENT.

Professor «J araaa, of Harvard Uni versity, gave the fourth Jpc'ure of tho series under the Qifford Trust recently In Edinburgh University, his su* j<=ct being ' The religion of he-Othy-rninrled neap,' He said the sidvanco in ;he past fifty years of liberalism, er~ called, iv Ohriatianity, might f-vir'y bo called a victory of healthy-minded* mesa within tha Church cv r the morbidness with which the old hr-H-fire theology was more harmoniously it lated. We had nofl' whole congregations whose preachers, far from minifying oar consciousness of sin,secm ad devoe j rather to making little of it. They Ignored, cr even denied, eternal punish ment, and insisted on the dignity rather than on the depravify of man. They looked at the continual pre occupation of the old-faahioned Chris tian with the saWadon of his soul as iomething sickly and reprehensible rather than admirable j and a san guine and • muscular* attitude, which to our forefathers would have seemed purely heathen, had become in their eyes an ideal element of Christian character. He was nofe asking whether or not they were ri^ht. He was only pointing out the cl ange; The -peisons to whom he referred had still, retained iot the mosfpart their nominal connec tion with Ch"ibtianity in spite of their discarding of its more pessimistic theological elements. But in that • theory ©f evo'ution,' which, gathering tnoruentuixi tor a century, had within tbe past twenty five years swept so rapidly over Europe and America, fchpy saw tbe ground laid for a new sort of religion of nature, whfch had entirely displaced Christianity from the thought of a large parfc of lhair generation, TheHeaofa universal evolution lent itself to a doctrine of general meliorism and progress which fi ted the religious needs of the* healthy minded so well that it seemed almost ai if it might Ibave been created for their use. To hie mind, the lecturer continued, a current far more important and inter esting religiously than that which eefc in from natural science towards healthy mindednees was that wh'ch had re cently poured oYor America and seemed to be gathering force every day—he was ignorant what foothold it might yet have acquired in Great Britain— and fco which he would give the title of the • Mind cure movement. ' The leaders had an intuitive belief in the all saving power of healthy minded attitudes as such, In the conquering tfficußcy of courage, hope, and trust j and they had a correlative contempt for doubt, fear, worry,and all nervously precautionary states of mind. Their belief had in a general way been corro- Iboratrd by the practical experience of their disciples, and that experience formed to day a mass imposing in amount. The blind had been made to Bee, the halt to walk, and life long in valids had had their health restorer?. The moral fruits had been no less re- EDUrkable, The deliberate adoption of a healthy minded attitude had proved possible to many who never supposed they had it in them ; regeneration of character had gone on an extensive ecale, and cheerfulness had been re stored to countless homos. All this, of coarse, with innumerable failures and deceptions, and often in the tnidst of a kind of verbiage fairly moonstruck with optimism, and fitted to make an ncadißHcally trained intellect stand aghast. But tho fact remained that the grout suec pcs and spread of the move ment had been due to its practical fruits *nd the intensely practical nature of the American people hat.? never been shown better than by the fact that this, their only dee'dedly criginal coiiblruction in tho way of a contribution to the syste matic philosopny cf life, should be so intimately knit tip with concrete thera peutics. To the importance of the Movement tha medical and clf-rical" professions in the United States were beginning though with much recalcit rancy and protesting, to opeu their eyes. It wts evidently bound to develop fltill farther, both epeculatively and practi cally, and its latest writers were far and away the ablest of the group. It mattered nothing that just as there were boats ©E persons who cannot pray, bo there were greater hosts still who cannot by any possibility be intfaencrd "by the mind carers' ideas and methods. The important point for liis (the lectart's) immediate purpose was that so large a number should exist who can bo bo influenced. They formed « psychic j type to be studied with respect: j
