Healing the sick was one of the spectacular achievements of Christ's missionary disciples, but today, ailing Christians are far more inclined to turn for relief to an M.D. than a D.D. More and more clergymen, including the new United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (TIME, June 16), are taking seriously the idea that prayer has something to offer the body as well as the soul. In October 1953, the Church of England appointed a 28-man commission of ministers and medical men "to consider the theological, medical, psychological and pastoral aspects of 'Divine Healing.' " Last week...

During the course of this controversy, the Rev. Dr. George A. Buttrick, Preacher to the University, suffered vicious attacks for antiSemitism, launched against him not so much by Jews as by those who care neither for the religion of Christ nor Moses. No Christian in the land could have less deserved these attacks than Dr. Buttrick, for Dr. Buttrick is as tolerant in his personal relations as he is eloquent in the pulpit.

Notable agenda item: the trustees' report on the two Christian Science sanatoria in the U.S.-at Chestnut Hill, Mass. and in San Francisco.

Enrollments, according to the report...

...Oldest Search. The search for youth and beauty is as old as woman herself. Thirteen centuries before Christ, when ancient Egypt's Queen Nefertete was the ideal of beauty, Egyptians placed cones of scented unguents on their heads to melt and thus perfume their faces. The Greeks used makeup and perfume, prized a fine appearance so highly that Athenian magistrates fined sloppy women. In Imperial Rome, women blackened their eyelids, whitened their skins with chalk or white lead, used animal fat and eggs of ants to treat their skin. Ovid scolded his mistress: "Did I not tell...
