The Sphere
(Saturday, 29 June 1935)

A bleak, tiled interior with white inscriptions on the walls, a gathering of devout men and women in decent Sunday black, sitting with folded hands on wooden benches; a portrait of a white-bearded giant with hand raised in benediction: it is morning service in the Antoinist temple at Liége. Brother Hosias, who is the founder's successor and is able to read his followers minds, stands almost in a trance, praying silently before the congregation. Then another brother mounts the chancel and reads from the writings of Father Antoin. "There is but one remedy that can save mankind-Faith, and Faith gives birth to Love."
Father Antoin, who died in 1912, began life as a metal-worker, barely educated, and of poor parentage. His powers began to show themselves in hypnotic healing, by which he made himself widely known and revered, so much so that the healed turned worshippers. An Antoinist Creed was established; wealthy patients in France and Belgium endowed the Temples, which now number forty-two and are attended by 200,000 people. After the Great Healer's death the Antoinists continued to administer to all those mentally or physically sick, and under the guidance of Brother Hosias continued to gain in strength. Brother Hosias has written up outside his house at Liége, "The sick and weary are welcomed at any time of the day and night."
