A service of unusual interest took place at Holy Trinity Cathedral on Monday morning, the first of 2 series to be conducted for foreigners and Chinese by Mr. James Moore Hickson, founder of the Christian Healing Mission. Mr. Hickson has made it his life work to assist in revival of the ministry of healing which has practically been in abeyance in the Christian Church for many centuries, with some few notable exceptions, and to which fact he attributes to a great degree the present-day lack of vitality in the church. Mr. Hickson is visiting Shanghai in the course of a world tour, From accounts we have seen, his mission appears to have been very successful and to have appealed to thousands of people of many creeds, especially in India, where upon one occasion he addressed an open air meeting attended by some 20,000 people.
