What"Faith"Means

Itwouldbeagreatpity ifanyonesawinallthisa confirmationoffalsedoctrine,suchastheFour SquareGospel.Thecures,real,seemingandpartial, canbefullyexplainedbythepurelynaturalfactsI havealreadyoutlined. Thesearequitedifferent fromthe"spiritualcures" whichareduetotheinterventionofGod. SucharethecuresclaimedbytheChurchas

miracles.Anumberofsuch miraclesaretobefound well-authenticatedinthe documentsthatdealwith thecanonisationofsaints. Some,too,willbefoundin themedicalrecordsat Lourdes.

IntheearlyChurch,of course,asSt.Paultellsus, someindividuals,includingtheApostles,hadthepower ofmiraculoushealing.This wasnottransmittedtotheir successors,foritwasagift givenbyGodforashort periodonlyinorderthat thepaganworldmightbe impressedbythetruthof theyouthfulChurch.When youhearof"faith-healers" today,youmustnotthink thattheir"faith,"orreligiousbeliefs,haveany- thingtodowiththeirpar-tialhealingpowers.

Withallduerespectto theunselfishBrothersand Sisters,andwithfullgratitudetothemforthesacrificestheyhavemadeforus andourchildren,Ibelieve thatgreaterconsideration shouldbegiventothe wishes(andrights)ofthe parents.

Governmentsandother educationauthoritiesprovidesuitablefacilities,set upstandards,etc.,but alwayssubjecttotherights ofparents(andthecommongoodofthenation,of course).

Sisters"seemtothinkthat whatthechildrenwearto schoolistheirconcern."

Thetruth,ofcourse,isthat whatthechildrenwearto schoolshouldbethejoint concernofparentsandthe Sisters(orbrothers).
