The BURNING of Men.

Even at the hands of Il mob inhamed
with sudden anger and uncontrollablc
rage, 1t is hard to understand how
such a thing as the burning alive of n
human being can occur in Il civilized
community. One can see how n mob
can hang man or shoot him to
death, but the deliberate and terrible
torture of fellow being in the flames
Is different matter. Perhaps it is q
survival of the ancient idea that all
things are purged by fire. Savages and
fanatics in all times have resorted to
the fagot. Our American Indians
burned their enemies at the stake. and
me early Spanish explorers in Cuba
and this country practiced the same
urspeakable cruelty. But those things
were many years ago. This is the Goth
century of the Christian era and yet in
the Southern states. and recently as
1ar north as Delaware and Illinois.
mobs have burned men at the stake
ne victims. moreover were torn from
the hands of the law where certain
punishment awaited them, little
later.
Perhaps You or I would have been a |
member of the mob had we been on |
the spot, but viewed from the dis
passionate standpoint of this distance
we cannot make such a thing seem
possible. The mob spirit Is something
hard to analyze. The Wilmington
mob was not composed of a drunken
and disorderly element, but of mechan-
les and farmers, men of intelligence II
and character, many of them doubtless
men who attend church and Worship
the God whom they Knocked and defied
on that awful night. Such occurrences
show us how much of the brute and I
the savage is still in the hearts of civ \
ilized men. 1t is not the times which Z"
are out of Joint. or our laws which are d
at fault. so much as it is that man ~
who is made only little lower than n
the angels has still within him. in Il
spite of Christ and the 1000 years of l,
His teachings, the worst impulses that l.
animate the fiends of hell. if

Mother Eddy and Her Followers,

Many times in the past few years
Christian Science has been laughed out
Of existence. as it's critics thought.
When ridicule failed to accomplish
the end desired, they have cOndescend-
ed to argue with the adherents of the
new doctrine and have conclusively
shown that 1t Is neither Christian nor
scientific. 1t may be that the critics
are right and that their ridicule is
Justified and their arguments sound,
but nevertheless the movement has
continued, the faith has won thousands
of new followers, and, this week, il has
furnished the imposing spectacle of an
enthusiastic convention of 1900 peo-
PIE in Boston's greatest assembly hall,
with one day devoted to pilgrimage
to Concord, N. H., where they were adj
dressed and blessed by Mother" Eddy,
remarkable woman upon whose life
and writings is founded this denomina-
ton.
Viewing the Christian Science move
ment wholly without prejudice, one is
forced to admit that there must be be-
hind it some part of the great truth
whose whole is known only to God
1t is inconceivable that it could grow
to its present proportions on a founda-
ton wholly false, and we are by no
means to condemn it in toto because
absurdities have been perpetrated and |
wrongs done in its name. 1t may be |
that 1t owes its rise to the decline of |
enthusiasm in the older religious de- |
nominations, and that it's founder. a |
woman Of magnetic personality and
keen understanding of human nature.
seized the psychological moment in the
tide of religious affairs to impress her
self upon the world. That she often
murders syntaX in her utterances does
not of necessity deprive them of truth,
and their frequent incoherence may be
only our own mental density as to the
subtleties Of the doctrine. AS to the
general proposition that the mind has
an influence on the body and the body
on the mind, there can be no dispute. |
We have all had abundant evidence of |
this in our experience. Every physi-
clan recognizes it. How far this influ- |
ence goes is another matter, and the
chief conflict comes with Christian l.
Science when it's adherents carry their
theory in this matter to an extreme
which seems both ridiculous in itself II
md dangerous to the community.
But in the charge Trust in God. do W
good which was the burden of Mrs.
Eddy's brief address to the thousands
Who thronged the grounds Of her
eautiful New Hampshire home. there
