CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DERIDED,

Dr.: Stanton. If they are correct. liquids
sickness, sorrow, suffering or death.
These things exist only in the mind; we
are never sick, We never suffer pain, all
this is mind. We only imagine we are
SICK, that is all. We must train our mind
to the belief that We only think we are
sick. That is what they teach and tell
God made matter just as much as He
made mind. The mind remembers, per-
ceives, hopes, enjoys; it perceives some

not divide mind. This fact alone shows
the existence OF matter independent of
mind. The Bible throughout recognizes the
existence of both mind and matter. It
tells us that when man was first created

into him through his nostrils. 1t also tells

the Bible to show that from the. incep-

teach twenty what were good to be done
than to be one of the twenty to follow
mine own teaching After telling us of
illustrious examples of those who have
triumphed. the apostle urges a personal
application to our individual lives of the
great principles that proved so successful
did,
There are three essential factors in
every grand Christian life. Such d life
requires earnest. intense application. NO
one ever won in a race by reading a de-
scription of how someone else ran, by
standing idly or sitting complacently with
folded hands. Just as certainly, no one
ever succeeded in being a Christian who
merely admired truth or dreamed of noble
ideals. Good impulses are but little better
than good dreams. except they be put into
practice. You cannot dream yourself into
a character-you must hammer and forge
in many a life-failure to put forth earnest,
intense effort, such as a racer puts forth
in running.
So another factor is brought before the
mind in the demand for the remuneration of
all that is of the nature of hindrances.
God asks of His children the remuneration
of nothing that is beautiful and harmless.
A Christian has more joy and bright things
In life than any one else. But, whenever
ment to the best life, that thing it is mex
orably demanded shall be put away. John
Wesley owed much of his success in life
to a sentence in one of his mothers let
tiers, received while at school. Whatever
impairs the tenderness of your conscience.
obscures your sense of God, or takes off
the relish of spiritual things. that thing
is sin for you. no matter how Innocent in
itself He resolutely adopted this as one
of the governing sentiments of his life, and
his life was a grand one. So ought every
intelligent being to do. There is but one
rule to govern us in all things-is it a help
or a hindrance in living the noblest life?
There is yet another step beyond these
two. We must have help from a Divine
Savior. Our best unaided efforts of earnest
ness and remuneration will not secure the
coveted prize of character. There is a
strength obtained only by looking unto
Jesus'--communion with Him. and imparta-
ton of strength by Him to the soul. When
william Arthur. author Of The Tongue Of
Fire asked a godly man the secret of his
tence. Keep the intercourse with God
OPEN When that way is stopped up and
unused, necessary strength is cut off from
the soul. and our best efforts fail.
"a candid view and review of our lives
must convict us of how far short we come
of these three great factors of success. We
have not striven with all our might; We
have not renowned every conscious him
drance; we have not had hourly communion
with our Savior. But the secret is not hid
den from anyone. All can live lives as
grand as any who have lived before us;
We have the same grace and the same
God for our help; the ringing call sounds
in all our ears, and the one question is,
will We observe these invariable conditions
of the grandest life, and from this hour
resolve to actually apply them to our indi-
vidual case?

The sound Money Party.

The solid vote of the Republican
members of the house of representatives
to bury the Teller resolution aud the
solid vote Of the Democratic members
of that body for passing it has at last
and finally drawn the line of the main
point of the money question distinctly
and clearly between the two parties in
this country. From the time the con-
troversy over silver became acute it has
been felt that the Republican party
would sooner or later become the cham
pion Of sound money and that unwise
leaders would carry the Democratic par
ty over TO the side of cheap money, but
compromises and unmeaning phrases
like international bimetallism' have
deferred sharp defining of the true is
sue until now. But the issue is now un-
mistakably and unalterably made. The
Republican party is from this time for.
ward the avowed advocate of the single
gold standard which carries with it the
maintenance and preservation of what
ever is, with all the new growth tina,

There is certain professor i'll GER
tain university Of the United States who
once, at the beginning of one of his lee
lures on fine arts. got on the subject of
the kind of pins worn in the neckties Of
young college men. He was a good leo
turer and was always interesting, but
this lecture was the most interesting of
his course to the 800 boys who heard
him, and the whole hour was spent on
necktie pins, their use and misuse and
what they suggested. The gist of what
he said was that there was no more
reason why boy should wear horse
shoe with a whip across it all In gold
than that houses should have sleeves for
roofs, and that as it was extremely
foolish to put big sieve on your house
for a roof so it was quite as foolish to
wear horseshoes on your neckties. The
principle of this is that you should have
a reason in what you wear as well as In
ether things and that senseless decora-
tions, like horseshoes on neckties or
neckties on horseshoes, are silly and I'M

THs MAN FOR THE PLACE.
President Mckinley Acted Wisely When
He Gave MIR. Gage the Treasury Portfolio.

President Mckinley Acted Wisely When
He Gave MIR. Gage the Treasury Portfolio.
During the debate on the Teller reso-
luton Senator Stewart, resident of
California who pretends to represent
the state of Nevada, stated that he be-
lieved Secretary Gage to be an honest
mana man who would not rob bank
but, he said, it was difficult for Mr..
Gage to look at this question except
from the standpoint of banker. He
thought it unfortunate that the presi
dent had placed the treasury depart
ment in charge of bankers, but he was
glad the president had thrown off the
cloak and made the issue directly with
the people
When Mr.. Gage accepted the secre-
taryship, he was president of the First
National bank of Chicago 1t has more
than 2, 900 epositOrs-business men of
all classes-who keep on deposit in the
bank an average of $50, 600, 900.
While Mr.. Gage was at the head Of
this large institution the standpoint
from which he looked at financial mat
tiers did not differ from that of the peo-
pie who did business at the bank. He
felt that he and they were all business
men, that their interests were all tied
up i'll one bundle and that whatever
benefited him as banker benefited his
depositors and all who were customers
of the bank.
Mr.. Gage as "a banker was right in
the midst of the industrial and CONNER
cial life of Chicago. He was brought
into intimate relations with every kind
of business. The business men Of this
city became thoroughly acquainted with
him, and it was because of that ac-
quaintance they were delighted when
he was made secretary of the treasury.
They knew he looked at monetary ques-
lions from the same standpoint they did.
1t was high time for the Office of sec
rotary of the treasury to be filled by a
man like Mr.. Gage, who is so thorough
ly familiar with thS sentiments of the
borrowing and lenWng classes Those
classes embrace the most active bust
ness men in this republic. They deposit,
loan, borrow and use reproductively
billions of dollars.
Senator Stewart dislikes to see Secre-
tary Gage where he is because he does
not look at the monetary question from
the same standpoint that the venomous
old blatherskite from Nevada does The
latter would be pleased to see at the
head of the department some financial
fraud like himself-some shrieker for
40 cent silver dollars or valueless fiat
shinplasters.
Mr.. Gage looks at the monetary ques-
tion from the standpoint of business
man and Stewart from the standpoint Of
a would be repudiator or of a man who
is ripe for an insane asylum. Secretary
Gage is in the right place The presi-
dent acted most wisely when he put
him there. Not all the slurs and sneers
of this Nevada ranter can make the peo-
pie think otherwise. Chicago Tribune.

STRUCK THE TRUE NOTE.
The Presidents Stand For Honest Money
Invigorates His Party.

The Presidents Stand For Honest Money
Invigorates His Party.
In one or two Republican quarters
recently note of hesitation and doubt
has been sounded. Here and there some
hating representative shrinks from a
bold and resolute course and takes conn
sci of his own timidity. He breads q
square, open stand for the honest money
standard and fears that the next battle
may be lost.
But this note finds no general re-
Spouse. On the contrary, the answer
promptly comes from all sides that an
uncertain. irresolute and equiyocal pol
icy would not only be repugnant to the
whole spirit and temper of the party,
but would be disastrous. There is n
general conviction that safety lies along
the pathway of courage.
The true note was struck in the presi-
dents recent speech in New York. His
bold, strong and earnest words have
done much to invigorate the party. They
awakened an instant and hearty re-
spouse because the people waited and
wanted just such an inspiration. 1t now
only remains TO 60 forward on the line
which the president pointed out. The
battle over the currency must be fought
out. and the Republican party can gain
nothing by holding compromising po-

The president has put himself in the

The party is disposed to stand behind

battling and hesitating counsels has gone
