AS TO CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

subscriber writes: What does The
Herald think o. Christian science? Had
one better embrace the science or let
It alone? What is Christian science,
anyway"
A grea. many very excellent people
are identified with the so-called Chris
tian science" movement, and some of
them. at least, claim to be happier and
better for it. 1t is an old saying that
whatever makes one happier and better
is right, and it is undoubtedly true
philosophy, but no one has the moral or
legal right to endanger the life or prop
erty of another in the pursuit of his own
health or pleasure. This thought is sug-
gested by the arrest of Christian SCI
states awhile ago for failing to report
a case of malignant diphtheria- At the
trial he asserted most positively that dis
ease and death are not realities: that
that which the law officers called ma
lignant diphtheria, which the child died
Of, and the death which came of the
child not having proper medical atten-
ton, were not realities at all. They
were mere illusions. The philosophy
of Christian science teaches all that the
eastern healer claimed but the court
held him for trial.
What is called christian science" is
In no sense a science, nor can it be con-
sistently called christian" since the
doctrine or philosophy was taught and
practiced long ages before Abraham was
thought Of, and no doubt there will be
schools of the Science" until time shall
be no more. AS a matter Of fact, Chris
tian science is a new name for the worst
aspect Of the power Of one mind to con-
troll another mind. In other words, Chris
tian science encourages the development
q the psychic and hypnotic power.
which are latent in all living creatures,
without providing adequate safeguards;
hence the dangers which loiter in the
path Of the practical application Of the
principles and philosophy Of the science
In social life are very many, and they
are TO be found at every step.
The Christian science process of heal
ing the sick is wholly mental one The
philosophy rests upon the broad but
sslf-contradictory theory that there is
no such thing as sickness: there are no
material things; that that which we cali
material is Illusion; that. in short, all
b spirit and all is good. When the Chris
tian science healer-the name is mis-
nomer, because If there is no such thing
as sickness there would be nothing to
heal. and hence there could be no such
thing as healer-approaches the all
ing he throws the whole force Of his
mentality upon the mind of the one who
thinks he is sick, but is not, II there is
no such thing as sickness, to get him
into q line of reasoning which will lead
him to the belief that there being I'D
such thing as sickness, he is not nor
could he be sick; that what he conceives
to be pain, bad feelings and the like
are pure Illusion, and since he could not
have that which = not. he is not sick

THE STATE UNIVER SITY

The Herald, after a fair examination
OF the facts, has criticised the agricul-
tural college at Berkeley for doing those
things which it ought not to have done
1t ought to have done and having no
health in it. The Minneapolis Journal
thinks other departments Of the univer-
sity are also open to criticism. Surely
the taxpayers are not making sacrifices
for collection of comedy. The Journal
says: A San Francisco dispatch gives
the information that Professor Charles
Mills Gayley of the University of Cali
fornia will soon go east and to Europe to
select twenty of the best English schol-
ars to collate book to be published by
the university. 1t is to be grand edi-
ton Of representative English comedies
until and including the time of Oliver
Goldsmith. The dispatch says, fur
ther. that such a collection has never
before been published and the Univer-
sity of California will get the credit for
this work because it's impress will be on
the title page" And then the story goes
on to show from what authors selec-
tions will be made, the purpose being to
show the evolution of English comedy
as literary type.
That is all very we'll and a desirable
thing to do. The book will undoubtedly
be an important contribution to English
literature. But the point which strikes
the Journal as peculiar in this instance
Is that thing OF the kind should be un-

A SANDSTONE TRUST

The report comes that In Cleveland a
big corporation is about to be formed
with a capital of s5,000,000, to gather
under one company's management all
the sandstone quarries of the eastern
states. If the scheme is carried through.
and sandstone becomes too high, the
eastern people may take comfort In the
fact that Utah has the most beautiful

calls attention to the fact that minister

The agency for effecting moral re-
formations belongs concededly to the
preacher, the teacher. the lecturer, to
society in its social regulations and to
domestic influence in the formation OF
character. The agency Of government
in such matters is of questionable value
All that 1t can do-all that 1t has the
right to dds to keep the peace, punish
crime and force into as narrow chan-
nels as possible, on the principle OF san
itary regulations, the immemorial and
natural tendency of full-blooded human
beings to animal excesses. 1t can go no
further. The rest must be left to the
dictates of conscience, the lights OF
philosophy and the precepts of religion.

Some Of the members of the Parkhurst
society complain because The Herald
does not hold up the hands of the slum-
ming committee. The Herald has not
forgotten that during the municipal
campaign the Parkhurst people pub
licly charged that The Herald's candi-
date for mayor. Mr.. NJ. P. Snyder. had
the active support of the criminal class
and the saloons, and that they called
upon "alf good citizens" to vote against
him. They semi officially at least in
dorsed Mr.. Martin and called upon the
citizens OF Los Angeles to vote for him,
so that vice might not triumph. as it
would were Mr.. Snyder elected. The
Parkhurst crowd vilfied Mr.. Snyder
and resorted to low pot-house political
methods to defeat him. The charges of
the Parkhurst people still stand against
Mr.. Snyder. which shows that they in
tend to remain on record as defamers OF.
The Herald's candidate for mayor, not
withstanding the voters repudiated
the charges of the Parkhurstites by CIV
ing Mr.. Snyder surprisingly large ma
jority for mayor. The Herald would
be joining the Summers in their effort
to besmirch the character of one of our
best citizens and the mayor-elect II 1t
upheld them in anything.

dertaken by an Institution supported by
the taxpayers Of California. Does any
one suppose that the people Of that state
contemplated the undertaking of such
work as this when they provided liber-
ally for an institution of learning? Is 1t
a proper thing for the university to do?
Does 1t come within the province of an
institution supported by the people to go
to the expense of sending a man to Eu-
rope to compile work of this kind? We
doubt it very much. and we very strong
ly suspect that when the people of Cali
fornia, who furnish the money for this
venture, learn about 1t they will have
something to say to the management of
the institution which uses the public
funds in this fashion.
1t is one of the dangers of public insti-
tutions, and. particularly, institutions
Of higher education, that they so often
depart from the simple service which
they were organized to render to the
public and squander their resources
upon fads and fancies; or if upon such
serious undertakings as this may be
considered to be, upon undertakings
which should be left entirely to private
enterprise, and in the promotion OF
which the public cannot be supposed to
be sufficiently interested to warrant the
use of the funds which they contribute
