The Will to Be Well

To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuina Datty News."

Sir,—Your interesting article on the Will to be well" in this morning's paper raises a number of very interesting questions and its ramifications go much further than is implied in the article itself.

The Founder of Christianity wrought many miracles and He required, as M. Coue does with his patients, that those who came seeking healing should have faith in Him. "According to your faith so be it unto you" was one of His most striking sayings and when one said to Him If thou can't do anything, help us," He replied, "If thou can't believe; all things are possible to him that believeth." This demand for the exercise of faith and will power makes an appeal to the emotional and volitional powers of the mind which, if complied with, must in itself be a valuable and healthful mental tonic.
