Excerpt from What It Is That Heals

Australia each clings to his pecu liar fetish. Even among the ultra civilized of the earth the sacrifices to the gods of the ancients, whether lsraelitish, Greek or Egyptian,have, in the era of Chris tianity, merely been replaced by prayers to saints and pilgrim ages to shrines. Within the veryrecent past, when the discoveries of Huxley and other investigators, and the generalizations of Darwin and Herbert Spencer had started a wave of materialism, the curious tendency of the race to appeal to the unknown and unseen when in trouble, seems not to have been diminished, and nowadays, when the pendulum appears to be swing ing back, and matter has failed to convince the world that it is every thing and there is nothing else, this tendency has grown to a mar velous degree. Christian science, faith cures, and mental science in its many and ever increasing forms meet us at every turn, and we still have with us believers in miracles, and pilgrims to Lourdes and other holy shrines.
