"Your very best idea of Jesus Christ, or your best idea of heaven is a treatment."

• Did you know that the International New Thought Alliance held it's first meeting in London in 1914?  The meeting was attended by F. L. Rawson, who knew Thomas Troward personally.
• Rawson was arrested in St. Louis in 1920 near the end of a tour of teaching and healing.  He was charged with practicing medicine without a license and was released and the charges were dropped when he promised to do nor more healings.
• Scientific Prayer, one of the readings for this course, is the text of a lecture he made at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in San Francisco, probably in 1920, published in 1931 by California Press.  Rawson was well met by New Thought churches and INTA members all over North America.

Texts by Frederick L. Rawson:

• Life Understood

• Treatment or Healing By True Prayer

• Scientific Prayer

"Pray without ceasing.  In everything give thanks." I Thessalonians 5:17, 18

Unfortunately, partly through ignorance, and partly through lethargy, up to the present we a have been apt only to turn to God when we want to overcome difficulties, instead of praying without ceasing, and so preventing the mischief beforehand, thus hastening our own and all mankind's deliverance from evil by its total destruction.  We must be "willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (II Corinthians. 5:8)  "We and God have business with each other" (Professor William James).  Our business is to love God, to love good, and this includes the love of our neighbour."
