MILWAUKEE, WIS, Jan. IS, 1901.

To the Editor of HE EVENING NEWS:
In your issue of January 10th there
appeared letter from Judge GARRISON,
of Omaha, to the members OF the
Christian Science church of Kenosha,
giving his reasons for resigning from
the Christian Science Board of Lee
tureship of the First Church of Christ,
Scientists, of Boston. This letter was
| also printed in the Wor1d-Hera1d, Of
Omaha, January 4th. Judge Clarkson
is a member of the First Church of
Christ, Scientist, of Omaha, of which
| Clarence w. Chadwick is First Reader,
and the same issue of the World-Her-
aid prints an interview giving Mr..
| Chadwick's views on Judge Clarkson's
withdraw, which l herewith give in
FULL
Thinks Judge Clarkson will Modify His
Statement.
First Reader Clarence w. Chad
wick, head of the Christian Scientists
of this city, was interviewed by a re-
porter from the Wor1d-Hera1d at his
residence on Georgia avenue last even
ing as to what position the resignation
of Judge C1arkson would place him in
as a member of that society and what
effect such action would have upon
that body. Mr.. Chadwick said:
"'The position of Judge C1arkson, as
an individual, after his resignation
has been accepted by the board, and it
will most assuredly be accepted, will
be the same as any other member of
the church. / do not desire to tear
down the individual views regarding
his belief, but [ certainly think the
Judge will modify some of the whole
sale and sweeping statements which
he has made, both in public and pri-
vate.
He is certainly welcome to his
belief, but we have talked the whole
matter over and think he will correct
certain portions of his private state
ments. From my talks with him /
should say most emphatically that he
does not intend to start another branch
of the Christian Science church. We
may have made mistakes in the past,
but such will be corrected as soon as
they are made manifest. Any time
there occurs a movement in the affairs
of the Christian Scientists which those
on the outside do not understand it at
tracts comment that is adverse to us,
but believing that we are right in our
efforts we do all that is possible to set
the matter right before the world.
People, you know, are always skeptiC
al of things which they cannot com
prehend.
" The Christian Science church will
forge ahead in the future the same as
in the past, and views of it's individual
membership will in no wise retard it's
growth and it's ability to do good
"When asked if it was a fact that
Christian Science hea1ers made more
money than members of the medical
profession, Mr.. Chadwick said: Most
emphatical1y they do not Christian
Science is not a money-making
scheme'''
Judge C1arkson has reaffirned in his
letter his loyalty to the Christian Sci
ence text book, "Science and Health
With Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker G. Eddy, in saying it is the
truth from God, and in making this
acknowledgement it is impossible for
him to leave his work, for it is his life.
In the long run, man will live as he
thinks; and let any man acknowledge
that the source of all inspiration is
God, Good, and he is working out his
problem; other truths will follow. Our
simple sums of arithmetic are worked
out in demonstration to a perfect an
swer, by giving rules, and in proving
our answer we have the knowledge
that the principle will never fail, and
that which we know through demon
stration can never be taken from us
If we fail to obtain our answer in the
science of numbers, is the principle
or rule wrong? No; it is our lack Of
understanding, or our eagerness to
demonstrate beyond our knowledge;
and so it is with the great question of
life, we have at last to acknowledge
in all ways, that God is Ali. No hui
man distortions, perversions, mis-
conceptions and Interpretations of the
teachings of FScience and HEALTH
can confound the adherents of Chris
tan Science, for the Bible and its
spiritual interpreter, Science and
Health" acknowledge no other power
but God.
Yours very truly,
