REPLIES TO OLIVER.
P. Cochran Discusses Charges
Against Christian Science.

ALCnlSOn- Kan. Fen. II. 1913.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
In your paper of the 4th inst. you
quote the Rev. Oliver as giving Chris
tian Science some hard knocks by
saying, There never has been a cure
wrought by Christian Science which
could not have been made by hypno-
tism." that for spirituality it's worse
than husks and dry bones" that were
il not for the Bible. verses with which
they decorate their belief it could not
live and that even now it is on the
decline
/ must not be understood as impugn-
ing tile honesty or motive of this gen
tleman. He IS a minister, and as such
I am bound to aecord him the respect
due his calling, but it is my duty to
call his attention to the errorinto which
he has fallen, and into which he would
lead others who look to the pulpit for
information and instruction.
First of all. if the gentleman and
credit to his statements, will make use
of the means at their command and
keep abreast of the thought of the day,
they will soon discover that this
stock declaration that Christian
Science and mesmerism are one has
long ago been discarded as of no con-
sequence, n is not mentioned serious
" by the writer's whose u-tterances are
regarded as of value.
If there is anyone who stin has a
lingering thought of this kind, let him
visit the Wednesday evening meeting
held in any Christian Science church III
the world and listen. When he hears
from the lips Of those assembled the
story of their healing of every type of
disease which has veXed humanity,
when he hears strong men rejoice IN
their deliverance from intemperance
ard vicious habits of every character,
and to harmony in homes where discord
had ruled: when he hears them. with
faces glowing with joy, declare their
healing from poverty that had sur
rounded their lives with sCualor and
thanking God for the light that Chris
tan Science had thrown on the Bible
and by hat means them to a
just appreciation of their manhoOd-he
win scarcely say that Christian Sciences
is mesmerism, or that it is devoid of
spirituality, and the speaker you quoted
will have weakned his influence for
good
Certainly we agree with Mr.. Oliver
that # it were not for Bible verses
neither Christian Science nor ciViliza -
ton could exist. and these verses begin
with the first verse of Genesis and close
with the last syllable of Revelations
Christian Scientists are not given to
statistics, but that all the people may
know 7 call our attention to some.
During the year ending June 10. 1902,
the date of the last annual meeting,
there were added to the Mother Church
ship of 24.278. Incomplete returns from
branch churches during the same period
show an increase in membership of
.692. The increase in number OF
churches was los and the increase in
associations not Yet organized as
churches SO. The death rate among the
members of the mother church was 2.32
per thousand or more han II less than
the death rate of the city of Boston.
Does this indicate a decline?

We have made every effort to con-
vince Mr.. Mitchell and his friends of the

chief objection to his organization is
that it was a foreign organization inter-

permitting the bituminous miners to in

mining situation It has proved to be
just as mischieVOuS as We believed II

the miners union was controlled by a
hostile element we objected to it be-
cause we can not delegate to the miners
or any other labor union the right to
determine who shall be our employees.

that the denials come thick and fast

of stocks as otherwise suggestive. Yes

There is nothing that viii SO surely under

affection of the nerves is sufficient to bring
about this distressing condition and unless
treatment is at once begun it grows worse
rapidly, bringing about loss CT appetite, in

TELL NAMES
OF HORSE OWNERS.
Arnold & Co.'s Fate Has Scared
Those Racing at the New
Orleans Meeting.

NEW ORLEANS. La. Feb. 1.-The
officials Of the Fair Grounds have lately
become very mysterious in reference to
the ownership of stables racing here.
This may be due to the action recently
taken by the Coney Island Jockey Club
in refusing the entry OF the horse Gold
Heels, belonging to Z. j. Arnold & Co.
In ;he last two years this firm Is re-
puted 10 " won half a million dollars
in Its cooperative scheme OF betting on
the horses. II the East is to discrim-
mate against Western owners Of good
horses who are also engaged in the
get = rich = quick" business, naturally
enough many of these concerns might
not like to have the exact ownership OF
certain horses publicly known.
Cnde the rules OF the New York
Jockey Club there can be no secrecy
about racing stable ownership. The
persons who actually own horses must
register the ownership in their own
names. Efforts here in the last day or
two to get at certain racing stable
ownerships have met with blank refusal
at the office of the secretary.

The ownership of horses has always
been a very complicated matter in the
