CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Many credulous people land per

lowing) believe in, and even die fol
what they claim is science.
| So-called Christian Science is 9
malignant and dangerous disease
OF the brain in-so-much as it pre-
vents the sufferer from obtaining
material relief and causes others to
believe that impossibilities have
been, and can again be performed.
The inability with which the au-
thorities cope with the teaching
and practice consequent upon this
intellectual disorder and their
baneful effects upon the human
race, calls forth from the press, an
energetic campaign against such of
its methods. as are dangerous to
health aud life. While we fully
believe everyone has the preroga-
tive to worship God, each in his
own way. sect should not be al
lowed to parade their religion, to
the exclusion of all medical skill.
as is sometimes done. Personally,
we know of man who allowed two
members of his family to die, by |
giving them Christian Science in |
large quantities to the exclusion Of |
all medicine. No doubt our read. !
crs have witnessed similar incid.
ents or at least have read OF them.
Christian Science, 30 called, pro-
baby bears about the same relation
to Christs manner of healing, as do
he methods of the Indian snake
bite chanters. The word, science
which they have appended, per
laps with the purpose Of giving
'olor to their absurd claims, is We
believe, entirely out Of place and
lishonored bv the association.

Pocatello's action, in persuadinp
eighty five OF our volunteers to give
Boise the go-by and go to Pocatelo
Tor their reception. is looked upon
by nearly all, as a spiteful move on
The part of Pocatello; particularly
after Boise had made such elaborate
preparation for the reception of the
boys. In matter OF SO much i'm
l'ortance as welcoming our soldiers
home, ali petty rivalry between
cities should BIO laid aside, and after
general reception had been given
them, minor receptions could then
oe carried out. and nothing would
have occurred to have marred the
harmony OF a grand reception for
our volunteers ut the state capital.

The kindergarten squibbler VIII,
now does the write-up for the com
missloner's organ, has our hearty
approval OF his giddy articles ap.
pearing socakly in that paper. In
fact, we consider him, or it, as did
the federal soldiers, who having
captured an off caste rebel colonel,
turned him loose after first ascer-
tanning, by his methods, that he
would do more harm to the cause
he represented if left at large, than
il confined. We are confident that
were we to turn the light of our
benign countenance on the intel :
lectual infant referred to, pour
ing forth upon him, words befit-
ting his servile condition, chosen
from the riches of our we'll stored
mind, we would cause him to suffer;
but as we would not willingly
cause toad. pain, we say to him
keep right on writing. but do not
waste any more Of your faggots, for
after while, you'll be out of job
and will then have to burn sage
brush. Will say one word more
before closing, don't try to take in
to much by absorption, for that is
what ails you; wrapping a dry pa
per around your head will not
make you bright no matter how
often you may try it,-and then it
is so hard on the paper, but get
down and dig ten hours day,
swear off smoking cigarettes and
don't stay alone to much. BY fol
lowing this advice, you may some
line become man.

Death of j, p, Bailey,

Once again has death visited this COM
munity and removed one from our midst
who will be greatly missed. In the death
OF Jesse P. Bailey. which occurred OIL
Sunday last, this village and COM
munity loses man who during the short
time he has resided here, has been identi-
fed with the business interests of the
place and was universally esteemed. AS
merchant and postmaster all found him
accommodating and pleasant. and as
neighbor and friend none speak aught
but good of him. He began business
here on the LIST OF January, 1898, having
in connection with Henry Wilson OF st.
Johnsbury purchased the store formerly
occupied by B. F. Weeks. He was in the
very prime of his young manhood, being
but 33 years OF age. He leaves wife
and little son five years of age to
mourn his early death. He has also
son by former marriage living in New
bury. Of other relatives he leaves an
aged father, two brothers and sister,
all living in Newbury. He carried a
policy for one thousand dollars in the
Conn. Gen. Life Insurance Co. and was a
member of Passumpsic Valley Grange.
The funeral service will be held Wednes-
day at two O'Clock in Newbury, there
being prayer here before the departure
of the morning mail train south.
