According TO a Brookvllle, Ky. dis
patch to a Chicago paper, the reading
Of the Bible In the schools Is lawful in
that state. Judge Harbeson, after a
hearing recently, refused to grant an
Injunction restraining teachers In the
local public schools from conducting
devotional exercises and having Bible
readings. The proceedings were
brought by Rev. j. A. Cusack of the
Roman Catholic church, and were
based on constitutional grounds. His
attorney submitted affidayits from Ro-
man Catholic children and cited de-
cIsions from the records Of the supreme
courts of Wisconsin and Nebraska.
When he had finished Judge Habeson
refused to hear the defense, stating
that he was familiar with the law. lie
then gave his decision.

put this question Mr.. Lathrop dropped
his head renectiyely. He glanced at
his mother who was sitting In the rear
Of the crowded courtroom. and she In
turn gazed upon him. The reply was
that man does not live by bread alone"
but this was considered an evasion
and the question was repeated "rell
me, yes or no, whether you believe
man can live without food" The re-
ply was:
eyes, II he be spiritual enough or
stands high enough In Christian Sci
ence. While the material body exists,
however some food Is usually neces-
sary"
These are most remarkable state
ments Of belief. One would hardly
deem 1t possible In this age Of reason
and materialism, that intelligent
people should think that cancer,
or a broken limb is but a
belief OF human mind made
manifest in the human body for that
fact is that cancer may exist, and a
limb may be broken, while the belief
Of the human mind is that something
quite different Is the matter. Sickness
is by no means the "bellef' manifest IN
the body. The consumptive very often
believes that nothing serious Is the
matter with him. The one that suf-
fers from heart disease, also often takes
another view OF his ailment. Sometimes
II takes minute investigation to dis
cover fracture Of a bone. all of
which proves that sickness Is not tho
manifestation Of belief. And so with
food and the body. The Creator has 50
arranged 1t that the material body Is
to be sustained by material food,
The News would be the last to
criticize anybody for his or her peculiar
belief but It is plain that sick child
has the right to the best aid that can
be obtained, as wen as TO the faith and
prayers Of parents and friends.
In this case the doctors claim that
diphtheria is spreading as result Of
this neglected case. The girl, II is said,
was allowed by her parents to 90 to
school the day before she was taken
III with dlphtherla, although her older
sister had been III with the disease
nearly week. Consequently, there Is
great Indignation among neighbors
Now, even II II Is admitted that the
Scientists have right to treat their
sick in their own way as long as they
live in communities where other people
also have rights, II Is their duty to
guard against the spread OF disease,
by quarantine and other generally ac-
oepted means, for the sake OF those
that do not believe in Christian sci
ence, and are subject to Infection since
they have not the protection Of that

FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

The case against Mr.. Lathrop in New
York city, n christian Scientist
healer, Is attracting much attention.
possibly because Of the prominence OF
the people concerned in It, Mr., Lathrop
was charged with manslaughter. be-
cause Of the death Of q seven year old
girl from dlphtherla, whom the healer
had treated" without competent aid.
Aud the parents Of the girl were also
held on the same charge, The lnvesti-
cation disclosed the fact that the child
had suffered several days without medi-
cal assistance, and that death finally
ensued. OF course patients sometimes
die Notwithstanding medical treatment,
but In those cases manslaughter is not
charged
The testimony of Mr.. Lathrop dis.
closed some strange features Of the
faith OF which he Is an exponent. He
was asked. for instance, II he had "the
degree for practlclng on the sick" to
which he replied. as reported In the
New York World

"To the material sense. yes; to the

The fact was further elected that the

this case there would be no charge.
Then the examination continued:

AMERICAN ABoRIGINEs :

Among the contributions to the gen.
eral knowledge about the aborlglnes OF
America, given by the congress of
Amercanists held last week In New
York, was the testimony Of the scient-
lists. that the Indians Of North, South
and Central America are practically one
people, as shown by the similarity In
thought, IN workmanship, and in relig-
ious conceptions.
II was also made clear that too low
an estimate has generally been put
upon the civilization Of the Americans.
Ii was shown that the lndiSs long be.
fore the arrival of the Europeans, were
advanced both rellgiously and political
~ far beyond the level Of savagery
upon which they generally are placed.
There has been an American civiliza-
ton as definite as that OF Europe, In
fact. there have been several clyllza-
tons. one overcoming the other. Amer
lea has had It's race wars. Savagery
has at times triumphed. That there
was communication between the south.
western parts OF the United States
and South America has also been
shown.
Much Of the war in this hemisphere
was waged for the sake Of religion. one
Of the exhibits Of the congress was ex-
planned TO illustrate such a war. lt
consisted Of Peruvian vase, showing
a battle. The artist had depleted one
class Of warriors as wearing clothes, as
mark Of their Cultivation. while the
other class was naked.
The works of art found by the stu
dents Of American archaeology were al
so declared to be very much superior
to the general conception. The artists
Of those ancient times were by no
means "savages" Nor were the peo-
pies that produced them on the level Of
unciylIzed races This is no surprise
TO those who have heard about the
wonderful discoveries in Central Amer
lean ruins
But the most wonderful OF it all is
that, many years ago, all these things
should have been brought to light by
the fundamentally OF an illiterate
youth In the sacred volume known as
the Book Of Mormon, Science has done
much toward establishing the historical
truth OF the other sacred volume,
known as the Bible. and yet, notwith-
standing all the evidences brought
forth from the ruins OF Bible lands,
skepticism as TO the Bible is as RAM
pant as ever. II win be TO large ex-
tent the same with the Book OF Nor
mon. but the evidence that Is being
brought forth, and that VIII yet come,
is OF such a nature as to strengthen the
testimony Of believers and leave the
world without an excuse for accepting
the message the book conveys. For
these reasons among others, research
among American antiquities is OF over
whelming Importance and interest

THAT STATEMENT MADE BY 7EV.
]. L. MURPHY IN LECTURE
ON NEGRO.
lT CAUSED CONSERVATION
Minister Says Study of Sociological
Condition of Negro Today Proves
He Is Deterorating.

Muscatine, Ia, October 2S-Con-
sternation was caused here by Rev.
j. L. Murphy, of the English Luther
an cncurch, who said in lecture cn the
race problem that the study cf the
sociological condition of the negro to-
day proves that he is deteriorating in
this country, will later lapse into bar
barism and finally become extinct He
points out that before the war the ne
gro was trustworthy, and the honor
of any woman Of the south was safe
without the protection of white men.
Today, however, a white woman
scarcely dares venture forth alcne.
Mr. Murphy says that not only is
the black man becoming degraded
morally in the south, but also physi-
claly. Physicians testify that he is
more susceptible to diseases than al
few years ago, and especially in pull
monary troubles. Pneumonia is al
mcst always fatal. The position taken
by Mr., Murpny is that in time the
class of blacks will tire of
the conditions in this country and re-
turn to their former African home to
teach their fellow-blacks, while those
left in this icuntry will then rapidly
become extinct.
