GUILD OF HEALTH. A Society founded in 1905 and reconstituted in 1918. It has been designed to promote a deeper interest in the relation between the spiritual life and bodily health. The promoters believe that by strengthening our grasp upon Eternal Realities, we find re-enforcement for the life in us, which quickens all the functions of body as well as those of mind. This truth has supplied the vital element of certain societies, in which it is combined with doctrines and practices which tend to draw the mind from the essential faith of Christianity. From these the members of the Guild of'Health would dissociate the vital truth to which they bear witness. That truth is constructive, and it. is by a constructive teaching alone that it is possible to put an end to the steady movement of good people from the Church into these societies, and to revive within the Church a right proportionate emphasis upon this neglected part of Christian doctrine. In other words,
it is desired by the Guild to emphasize the great Christian truth which has been put forward in the movements known as Christian Science, Higher Thought, Faith Healing, etc., without accepting all the char acteristic opinions which seem to its promoters to diverge seriously from the Christian Gospel. The objects of the Guild are: (1) The study of the influence of spiritual upon physical well-being; (2) the exercise of healing by spiritual means, in complete loyalty to scientific prin ciples and methods; (3) united prayer for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in all efforts to heal the sick; (4) the cultivation, through spiritual means, of both in-. dividual and corporate health. The Chairman of the Committee is the Rev. Harold Anson (12, Fellows Road, London, N.W. 3).
