THE LECTURE
IN Christian Science
bY Judge Ewing.

The following is the lecture on
Christian Science, delivered, by Judge
Ewing, of Chicago. at Opera Hall.
Hurley, Monday evening, July 8, which
was enjoyed by Il large audience:
Judge Ewing spoke as follows:
1--WE live in practical age and are
satisfied only with facts. The, world
| is weary of theories, it longs for facts;
lit is surfeited with arguments, doginas
az d platitudeS, and cries out for facts.
|Christian Science is the religion OF
Jesus Chelst; the religion that he
preached, taught and practiced; or it
is not anything worthy of your thought
or mine Ii Christian SCIENCE is not
this, we want to know it at the earliest
possible moment; and ii it is this. the
good people of the old churches want
to know it, ! am sure today, it it may
be. The greatest difficulty that con-
fronts me in presenting to you any
new phase of religion, or new thought
OF God, is our inherited religious be-
liefs, our fathers thought of God. In
our pride of ancestry VIC have accepted
without Investigation. our fathers be-
lief us our own lit is a humiliating
confession, and yet is doubtless true,
>that less than e,per cent of the millions
of the professed believers in the Chris
religion are what they are, not by rea-
son of any conviction resulting from
personal investigationo their pelation-
ship to God: they are Presbyterians.
Congregationalists. Methodists, Bap-
fists Episcopalians or Catholics bes
cause their fathers were. n! No one
thinks it strange that we should dis
card our fathers thought respecting
dress, habitation, civil or religious
government, or the inherent rights of
men, and yet the thought seems to be
almost universal, that the Child shall
think OF religion, think of GOD, as its
fathers thought, or not to think at all.
And yet .,we- know. indeed, chat our
fathers questioned the religious be-
liefs of their own fathers ,and made
the world brighter by it. John Calvin
questioned the religious beliefs of his
fathers, and out Of the controversy
sprang the Presbyterian church and
all Of its multiplied offshoots that have
made the world better; Martin Luther
raised his mightyvoice against the re-
Agiqns beliefs and reaieic,as,. practices
Of his fathers, and the reformation

that upon conscientious investigation !
we may also agree upon the, essentials |
of Christ's religion as Christian Scien- |
lists understand, believe and practice I
it,. I
"Christian Science was discovered |
and revealed to the world some thirty |
odd years ago, by the Rev. Mary Baker
Eddy. a native of New Hampshire I
and still a resident of that state. The
whole philosophy and practice OF
Christian Science. is published to the
world in Mrs.. Eddy's book, entitled |
Science and Health With Key to the
Scriptures. The latter part OF the title |
of this marvellous book. with Key to
the Scriptures is very significant; for
a chief valueo OF Mrs. Eddy's gift to the
world is the light she has thrown on
the real demonstrable meaning of the
Holy Scriptures. In the great efforts
of her devoted and beautiful life, as
she declares herself she took the Bible
as her only guide, and God as her only
counsel, and she does not announce
any principle, doctrine or practice of
Christian Science that she did not find
and that each one of you, whether you
grace pulpit or adorn'a pew, may not
find in the bible, Wherefore, an
nounce to you so distinctly that there
will be no room for misund derstanding.

it enthrones no new divinity, pro-
claims no new God; but rather re-en-
thrones and declares unto you the one
everything God, whom all our fathers
worshipped Indeed the substratum of
Christian Science, lits initial principle,
the premise of ail'its reasoning, is the
persistent declaration of and insistepce
upon the patent fact of Gods infnity,
His Allness. If, therefore, you would
destroy Christian Science, you must
first destroy the omniscience and omni-
presence Of God. 7.for, with these re-
naming relentless logic will do the
rest.
''The most potent objection urged by
the older Churches against their own
conception of Christian Science is that
it is sheer impiety for any manor ,wo-
man to assert that he or she is, clothed
with the power,of God to heal the sick.
The striking weakness OF thispbiectt

profess, in any degres, any such pow,

: Mailing Letters at the Train.

Mail agent Wilson on the Scotland
Neck road says that the privilege of
mailing letters at the train is SO badly
abused that if there Is not change
the mail box on the train will have to
be dlscontip ued. He Gays great piles
of letters are put into the box every
morning, so many that they can not be
handled with the rest of the mail be-
tween the stations. Some business
houses in Scotland Neck, says Mr..
Wilson, seem to send their entire
mornings mail to the train. The
privilege Of mailing is intended for the
accom- modatlon OF any one who may
happen to have late or stray letter !;
and the abuse of the privilege to the
extent OF forcing the closing of the box
entirely would be hardship upon all.
Mr.. Wilson says that the piles of
letters that some firms put into the
box surely are not written after the
mail is made up and put into sacks
In the postoffice up town. He does
not object to the mailing of letters-a
stray or late ono here and there--but
it crowds him too much, he says, to
handle the immense quantities that
are mailed at the train.
The COMMONWEALTH gladly gives
this notice in the interest of all con-
cerned, both Mr.. Wilson and the gen.
eral public.
One can readily see that the mail
agents complaint is a reasonable one !;
and it is to be hoped that such regard
will be given to it by the people OF
Scotland Neck that it will not be
necessary for the box at the train to be
closed entirely. All would like the
privilege Of mailing at the train letter
that is prepared too late to get in to the
postoffice and the way to have this
privilege continued is to do all mailing
that can be done through the postoffice
before the mail bags are closed.

Mr.. Dunning's Invention.

Mr.. }. A. Dunning, of Aulander, now
living in Halifax in the A. G. L. ser
vice has an Invention which he claims is
most excellent thing for the railroads.
1t is an improvement on what is
known as the "fsh plate" on the rail
road track.
Mr.. Cummings invention is what he
calls the "nutless fish-plate." He says
it has great advantages oyer the old
plate. The bolt that passes through
the plate and the rail carries its own
nut which by turn in the slot after 1t
passes through the rail together with
the adjustable latch, makes it safer and
less liable to break. Mr.. Dunning says
that the plates can be put on and
taken off with bis nutless bolt much
faster than By the old bolts and nuts
The ietimate is that it TAX es two days
to the month ON each section of the
railroad to keep the bolts and nuts
tlghtened on the plates whereas with
his plate there will be practically no
time ,eeded for such work, as the bolts
cannot get loose until they are loosen
ed with a wrench.
Mr.. Dunning thinks there Is some
thing good In the invention, espec-
tally where new rails are being made.

some ten days ago.
Mr.. Burton was a native OF Halifax

loved and respected lawyers in the
State. He was educated at Randolph
Macon college in Virginia. He prac-
ticed law number of years in Halifax,
then went to Richmond. Several
years ago he removed to Raleigh, where
be rapidly rose to the first place in his
profession.
Mr.. Burton was great lawyer. He
was good lawyer and good man In
every way. The son of devout Meth
od,st preacher, he never departed from
the good training of his childhood and
youth. He saw a most consistent
member OF the Methodist church, and
carried his religious principles into his
daily lie and the practice OF bis hon.
ored profession.
