Remarkable scenes are being witnessed at Bt. Andrew's Cathedral, Aberdeen, where Mr. J. M. Hickson,who has just returned from a long tour through Egypt, India, China, and Palestine, is conducting a faith-healing mission by the laying on of hands." The mission has the motion and commenda. tion of Bishop Deane and the clergy of the diocese. Mr Hickson's attitude is that there is nothing new in spiritual healing, which is as old as Christianity. They were told to preach the Gospel and bent the sick, and the Church had to authority to dis regard the holy command. He contouris that such heresies as Christian Science, New Thought, Theosophy, and Spiritualism, would not exist to-day if the Church had been faithful to her mission. On the frat day of the Cathedral services, nearly 400- sufferers from blindness, lameness, deafness, ». dumbness, spinal deformities, weak hearts, epilepsy, and other complaints, advanced to the altar rails. Mr. Hickson placed his hands on their heads, read the nature of. their disability from a small card which had been prepared beforehand, and prayed for hard frost during the night, and the a cure. Hands were also laid upon the general conclusion reported was that the sufferers by the 'Provost of the Cathedral, Hight had not been limited.

The iron, certainly, has too much sway at prement.
In a few short years, if the present rate of increase continues, the Irish population in certain Scottish industrial centres pro- mises to outnumber the purely Scottish inhabitants. The situation is remarkable, and the explanation is that not only are the immigrants numerous, but they breed much faster than the native Scots.
