Excerpt from The Relief of Pain by Mental Suggestion: A Study of the Moral and Religious Forces in Healing
Some nine years ago I became interested in the ministrations to nervous sufferers inaugurated by the Rev. Dr. Worcester, generally called the Emmanuel Movement from the name of the parish of which he was the rector. I was convinced that the Emmanuel principles and methods were sound, that the Church could fulfill its true mission to suffering humanity, and that such help should be given in New York as well as in Boston.
At that time I was rector of an old down-town parish in New York, whose condition was such that in my opinion it could not hope to justify its existence and its cost by work along traditional lines. It seemed to me that God opened an unusual field of useful and proper activity for the energy of the Church and its priests, and I therefore started what we called the Healing Mission.
