Do Christian Scientists believe
in punishment for sinY
Most emphatically. The sinner
will be punished in due proportion
for all his sins. AS long as he
continues to sin the punishment
will continue. If sin were a part
of Gods plan, and therefore eter-
nal. and the sinner never ceased
SHINING, his punishment would be
eternal; but sin not being part of
Gods divine plan, sooner or later
it must be destroyed in each hu-
man consciousness. AS mortals
awaken to the fact that there is no
pleasure in sin. but that it brings
certain punishment, they will turn
from it; and the only way to over
come sin is to cease SHINING. Je-
sus came to teach mortnls how TO
overcome sin. Had sin been u
part of the divine plan, and in that
sense real, he would have been vi
olating, instead of fulfilling, Gods
law, and would not therefore have
been "about His Fathers bust
ness as he so often declared him
self to be.
When the last farthing" shall
have been paid, that is, when the
last sin shall have been overcome
by the individual, the "etornal
punishment" for sin will have
ceased. Christian Scientists con-
strue the word everlasting" ms
used in scripture, in its strict sense
that it is age abiding When
the aye of sin ceases in each indi-
vidual, the everlasting punish
ment' will cease. C. S. Sentinel.

If the bill introduced in the Senate by
Senator James Mcmillan, exempting from
taxation the property Of the Young Mems
Christian Association becomes a law. it
will be the means of allowing the organi-

then be used for other purposes. The ex-
emption for the property of the association
is asked forsunfer the church and school
exemption act whereby property used for
either educational or religious purposes is

purchase price, 1t is believed, was about

THE TRANs-ANDINE RAILROAD
II Ia Not Yet Completed, Though
shown without break on
Some German Maps.

Some recent works of reference speak
of the trans-south American railroad
from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso as
though it were now in full operation;
and on at least three German maps of

road is shown without a break. says
the New York Sun.
The fact is, however, that this inn
portant addition TO the railroad facili-
ties Of South America is not vet com
pleted and is not likely TO be for some
years to come. According TO Mr.. L. A.
Fitz Gerald, the explorer of Mount
Aconcagua, the road has been advanced
on the Chilian side of the Andes up to
the mountains and some way into them
on the Argentine side, but in March last
there vere still "A miles of the most
difficult part of the road to build and
further progress will necessarily be
very slow.
At that time the road had been com
pleted up to Punta de las Nacas. in the
mountains on the Argentine side, and
to Salto del Soldado on the Chilian side.
The part yet to be built includes tun-
mel under the Cumbre pass. the summit
of which is 12,705 feet above the sea.
The road through the mountains is 3 1-3
foot gauge, with rack ard pinion for
the sleeper grades. Even greater diff
culties are involved than had to be over
