In a single word, the potent force with him was faith: without it no cures are possible. This is the sub- stance of the seven Lectures * originally delivered be- '3 'Times and Seasons,' 5, 626.
^^ « Times and Seasons,' 6, 1 106.
JOSEPH THE FAITH HEALER 295 fore a Class of the Elders, in the School of the Prophets.' These discourses are vapid yet they have significance, — they contain adumbrations of the really vital principle in mental healing. This doctrine of faith was an approximation to the... sub- jective attitude of trust demanded in suggestive therapeutics. Smith defines it at the start, both negatively and positively : — * without it both mind and body would be in a state of inactivity; . . .
as faith is the moving cause of all action in temporal concerns, so is it in spiritual; . . . but faith is not only the principle of action, but of power also, in all intelligent beings, whether in heaven or on earth.' '^ Like previous magic healers, from Para- celsus to Gassner,^ Joseph's system was largely mystical; with him, healing was counted a sacer- dotal gift.
