It is a common thing in Canada and the United States to thipk that the Old Country does not furnish opportuni- ties for the poor boy. Well, Mr. Royce, designer of the Rolls-Royce was a poor boy in England, started as a newsboy and errand boy, stud- ied at night, and equipped himself as a high-class electrical and mechan- ical engineer. The Bon. Charles Rolls was killed when flying thirteen years ago. He said of himself: "I set about trying to break my neck about as soon as I could walk." He was the youngest son of Lord Llangattock, and, while still a child, scandalized that gentle- man (who was returning from church with some friends) by driving a steam roller round the estate. "They came upon me driving this ponder- ous vehicle, black and oily of face but supremely happy!" Before 1896 he had practical ex- perience of motoring in France and fatter drove from London to Cam- bridge in 113 hours. In 1920 he com- pleted a university arts course and set up in business. C. S. Rolls aril Co. gave advice to people who del mended it, and dealt in a small way in foreign cars. Two years later Rolls was introduced to a Mr. F. Henry Royce, who had built a small two -cylinder car at the electrical works of Royce, Limited, of Man- chester. The new vehicle pleased Rolls immensely and he brought it to the notice of his friend Mr. Claude Johnson, who became joint managing director of the new firm, which agreed t.0 take over the whole of the automo- bile output of Royce, Limited. F. Henry Royce, who since that day has continued to design Rolls- Royce products started life under very difficult conditions. He was burn near Peterborough, England, in 1863, and was brought up in impe- cunious circumstances owing to the early death of his father. Between the ages of ten and eleven he was selling newspapers in the streets for Messrs. W. H. Smith and Son. Then he had a, year's schooling, and at the age of thirteen became a telegraph - boy. By the time he was eighteen he had some engineering experience in the G. N. R.'s shops at Doncaster. There was a period of unemploy- ment in Leeds, followed by several months in the Italian arsenal as a fitter. The hours were from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m, and all night on Fridays! In 1881 he went to London to the Electric Light and Power Company, and was able to study at evening classes. A year later he was chief electrician to the Electrical Company at Liverpool, and when that failed financially he founded a small com- pany in Manchester, under the title of "Royce, Limited." This firm still carries on the manufacture of the giant electric cranes which the genius of Mr. Royce so largely made pos- sible. In 1905 the first four -cylinder Rolls-Royce was marketed. It ran second in the Tourist -Trophy race on its firstpublic appearance, and cars of its type are still running satisfac- torily after 18 years. The famous "Silver -Ghost" six cylinder cur of 1907 set. up an es yet unbeaten re- cord by running continuously for 15,- 000 miles except for one stop of 30 seconds due to the forgetfulness of someone who failed In turn on the gasoline. Al! the worn parts of this ear wore afterwards replaced to the satisfaction of the R. A. C. The hill came to £ 2s. 7d. Rare after race fell to "Charlie" Rolls, and at the Le Mans course he met Wilbur Wright. who gave him his first flight in 1908. The new sport fascinated Rolls. By 1910 he had severed several of his connec- tions with his flrm in order to de- vote himself more fully to flying. Ile made the first double crossing of the Channel without landing on French soil, in June, 1910. A month later this distinguished engineer and sportsman was killed in an aeroplane antat Bourlte- Sannulinceth. the cessation of h►ar, Rollls- Ro}ree englnem have propelled one aeroplane across the Atlantic and an- other to Australia. This year an almost unique home' was paid to Mr. Royce. In his own lifetime, a prophet in his own coun- try, he has had erected to him a sI- tue at Derby. The authors of "W. S. Gilbert: Hie Lite and Letters,' quote a story told by Mr. Cyril Mauna's, daughter, wbo asked Gilbert if bis new Rolls-Royce was a success. He replied: "I have just written to the makers •and Bald, 'Dear Sirs,—Term car Rolla but it won't Royce.'" ..But that was Gil- bert's fun. A Rolls-Royce shiny. does both. CAN PRAYER/it HEAORGANIC . L si rg�a�wr DISEASE? Periodically the question of heal- ing physical ills by prayer or by the laying on of hands arises in the Christian church, and in the'past few years more frequently than before the war. Just at present a discus- sion is raging in the Church of Eng- land, a diacussiun in which medical men from time to time take part. It was begun by a sermon preached in Westminster Abbey a few weeks ago by Rev. - R. C. Griffith, vicar of St. Benedict and of St Martin -of -Palace, Norwich. He declared boldly that the church was to blame for not re- newing its .ancient faith in healing by prayer, and asserted that he had seen miracles performed by this ag- ency. It is undoubtedly true that the Bible is not more specific and emphatic upon any point than in the assertion that prayers can heal the sick and that the elders of the church are entitled, are indeed instructed, to cure bodily ills. The. Bible does not suggest that there are certain dis- eases which ate nut to be meddled with by the praying deacons. It does not suggest any limit to the power of prayer and faith. The con- tention is that if the clergy believed enough they eould heal anything. That part of the vicar's sermon which caused the greatest discussion is as follows:— "1 myself have seen blind people see. I have seen one with a wither- ed arm for sixteen years hanging at her side suddenly shoot it our per- fectly whole. We have seen cancers disappear within twenty minutes. We have had people who, perhaps, a Ice, minutes before were stone deaf, hearing and kneeling at the foot of the altar giving forth thanks pub- licly for all God's goodness to them. This great work, for which I am here to speak, I tell you quite can- didly, is upsetting altogether that religious life of the people in East Anglia, in the sense that they are beginning to understand their re- ligion to be a spiritual thing. It is not merely the healing of the body. That is a minor matter. We find in . this work that not only bodies are healed but souls are converted and faith is renewed in many lives, and particularly among those who have not received the gift of healing. The enemy who deliberately attack this work say that to try to encourage people to expect to be healed and then find that they are not healed is a wicked thing, because the people lose their faith. That is a blasphe- mous lie. I have seen thousands of people waiting outside two little slum churches from nine o'clock in I. the morning till a quarter past 11 at night, kneeling in the streets and i . xli,your pipe 3 154Q � � 8(ra lbitin I� you ll your mak.\r ask ir mitEn gutters of the city in prayerr whom those t h w om hand b are being a laid within those little shrines." He went on to discuss cancer, quoting an unnamed specialist tt the effect that the disease was incur able and that after an operation it returned and resulted in death in six or nine months. He was taken sharply, but courteously to task by Prof. George M. Robertson, of the University of Glasgow, who asserted flitly that when the cancer had been completely eradicated it did not re- turn. The distinguished professor went on to ask whatlthe vicar knew about cancer, and hazarded the opin- ion that if he knew as much as the average vicar it was very little. He distrusted him as an authority on the disease. He pointed out that a memorandum on cancer had recently been issued by the Minister of Health which was the last word in scientific knowledge on the disease, and which emphasized above every- thing else the value of early treat- ment and the avoidance of quack remedies. Prof, Robertson said that the re- coveries of functional blindness and deafness, such as the vicar mention- ed, are almost commonplace, but that a deep line must be drawn between the functional and the organic. Canon Samuel Bickersteth of Can- terbury Cathedral, challenges this assertion, however. He has observed and conducted spiritual healing mis- sions in Australia and New Zea- land, and reports many victories there. He says that those who be- lieve in it do not place less, reliance on medical and surgical skill than Prof. Robertson would desire, but they have gone further than the re -1 1 tommendatimi hi tib USW& ference on the matter which was to. this effect:h "The church must recogrdas methods of faith healing in the treses ment of bodily disease, but must ba careful to apply such methods in accordance with scientific discover- ies and analyses sea made known Y tone by those who are investigating the inter -relation of mind and body. It is becoming more and more clear that the indiscriminate or unintelii-. vent anneal to faith may bring soma Immediate- relief, but may do more harm than good in the end. No sick person must look to the church to de simply what it is the physician's ar surgeon's vocation to do." The Australian church after months of prayer and preparation reversed the usual procedure, and instead of calling in doctors wbes cases were "past praying for," began the prayers after the highest medi- cal skill had failed. Why, said the Canon, should it be thought incredible that organic diseases could be tun- ed? He quoted Sir Thoma* Climes ton, another Edinburgh professoris saying: "It is certain that in times through mental influences, some dis- eases now regarded as incurable wilt be healed. Such influences largely control nutrition, and many organic diseases result from malnutrition."' If this Is true why should organic disease notie y ld to spiritual healing which consciously recognizes the per- sonality of Christ, whereas mental healing does not do more than appeal to the personality of the patient/ Spiritual healing, however, is not a matter to be rationalized about. It is admittedly supernatural and them- fore he s..fore beyond the borders of science. c1%fofher says "Let the pores of your skin breathe freely like a child's" { �ZI flxe i&zily use it INFANTS DELIGHT `TOILET SOAP JOHN TAYLOR to.
