 The company is a well balanced organ ization, made up in the main Of players capable and intelligent. In the perform ance last night in which there was much to praise the honors were borne off by Jewell Kelly as Kenneth Ashleigh, the young squire, and Miss Julia Bennett as Doris Vane. The company on the whole was far better than the average reper- toire examinations on the road. The play was a domestic comedy drama with sus- tained interest and a number of tense climaxes.
 The company is fortunate in its spe- cialists. The chief praise for speciality work belongs to Baby Doris, little tot, whose singing and dancing made hit with the audience. She was recalled sev- eral times by her insistent admirers. The specialties of MT. Melnottee were heartily applauded and MT. Bowser pleased in illustrated songs.

MRS. MIMS'S LECTURE
GAVE ELOQUENT PRESENTATION
 OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Was Introduced to Large and Gull tured Audience by Judge J. B. Gaston-Clear Exposition of
 Christian Science.

Mrs. Livingston Mims of Atlanta, Ga wife of the late Mayor of that city, de- livered her famous address on Christian Science at the Montgomery Theatre Sum day afternoon to a representative and in- telligent audience.
 Mrs. Mims is a woman of notable elo- cutionary attachments and is forciole Tn her argument on any stage.
 She Is a member of the Board of Lc '- tureship of the Boston, Mass, First Church of Christ, Scientist. and has de- livered a number of lectures on this sub ject in Atlanta and elsewhere.
 Mrs. Mims was presented to the audi ence by Judge J. B. Gaston in few complimentary remarks. Her subject was "The Spiritual Commissioner of Man Through Scientific Christianity-the Re ligion of the Future"
 She spoke in part as follows:
 The aspiration to know and understand the ways of God to men has inspired the long search and questioning of ages; 1t has stimulated vast systems of specula- tive thought since the days when Socra- tes talked of the immortality of the soul, and Plato dreamed. seemingly, Utopian dreams of a true republic.
 "In the midst of speculative thought of the day, Jesus appeared, and proved the be1eficent ways of God to man as the destroyer of evil sin, disease, death. To Jesus God was not a remote abstraction, but living Presence, the ineffably ten der, loving Father Motherhood that feeds, clothes. sustains and governs man, re deeming him from materialistic law of suffering and discord by the demonstra- tion of the actual spiritual law of life and harmony. God was to Him the Onc Intelligence. The same power that en- ables lily to rend a rock in its travai of expression Is the same invisible, om- nipotent mind that enabled Jesus to rend the tomb in his travail of expressing his real indestructible Individuality.
 Today, in answer to sore human need, Christian Science appears reiterating the words of Jesus, and, at least in part, demonstrating the same God power to re. deem and bless humanity. This law and proof of spiritual ascendancy over sin and disease runs like a fine golden chain throughout the entire Scriptures, linking all It's eras of development in one perfect design. eliminating in Christ Jesus
 Perhaps no one person has so thought and lived that many thousand through her teachings have been lifted out of pow erty disease and sin as have beer through her sweet and sacred ministry. When the veil of prejudice that blinds the world of sense to it's great spiritual leaders is removed her life will shine out a radiant light, that will command the admiration of the world. and will flu mine the ages. who will call her blessed

WHOLESALE
 RESERVATIONS
NEARLY ALL WEST END OPEL
 CIALS OUT.
Mayor Lee, Marshal Jackson, Patrol men Little and Lee Resign and Council Names Their
 Successors.

The newly founded city of West End. whose lease on life will, by action of the Alabama Legislature, end next October, has been stirred from center to circumfer- ence by the resignation of nearly all the municipal officials. Mayor R. D. Lee, Mar shal G. A. Jackson, Patrolmen Jim Little and D. Lee have resigned and their res- ignations have been accepted by the City Council of West End.
 The Council has already elected the suc- cessors of these officials. At the regular meeting of the Council held Saturday night W. A. Taylor, Justice of the Peace, was elected Mayor to succeed Mir. Lee. The vacancy in the office of Marshal caused by the resignation of G. A. Jack son, was filled by the election of former Alderman R. L. Mennett The Council elected to the office of patrolman Arthur owen in the place of James Little, who went out with the other officials. Ed Bed- sole was made night patrolman In the place of D. Lee, who resigned.
 Mayor Lee said last night that the in- creasing duties of the office of Mayor in- terfered with his business and he was compelled to relinquish his office. He wanted an emphatic denial made of the report that he had resigned because of a personal difficulty between w. T. Fields and his nephew, D. Lee. The difficulty, re said, was of no consequence and he was not in the least connected or concerned in 1t.
 It Is thought that perhaps the passage of the Greater Montgomery bill, annexing as 1t did the the greater part of the terri tory of West End, was more or less re- sponsible for the wholesale resignation of the municipal officials. It was, however, stated last night by ex-Mayor Lee that the city government of West End would be continued just as long as possible, that is up to the time the town becomes a legal part of the city of Montgomery and longer If 1t could possibly be done.
 The Mayor of West End is paid a small salary The Marshall draws $40 a month and each of the policemen &S0 month All the old officials except the City Clerk the Treasurer, the Assistant Marshal and one policeman resigned

recognize the healing of Christian Science say that their objection to it Is that 1t Is claimed to be supernatural. Now, this Is just what Christian Science absolutely disclaims. Paul once said, Why should it seem a thing incredible to you that God should raise the dead? That God should heal His own children seems only natural to Christian Scientists. To the sense of God as the only Cause, the ten der, loving Father-Mother-G God, nothing else could be natural. It is the Truth of being that heals, not personalities.
 Mrs. Eddy says in Miscellaneous Writings page 200; The so-called mir acles recorded in Holy Writ were neither supernatural. nor preternatural, for God Is Good and goodness is more natural than evil. The marvellous healing power of goodness Is the outfiowing life of Christianity that characterized and dated the Christian era.
 'It was the consummate naturalness of Truth in the mind of Jesus that made His healing easy and instantaneous. Je- sus regarded good as the natural state of man and evil as abnormal; holiness. life and health as better representatives of God than sin, disease and death. The Master metaphysician understood Omnip- otence to be all power, because Spirit was
 
 an error of promise and conclusion, while God was the only Substance, Life and Intelligence of man.
 Christian Science teaches that sin and disease have no divine authority. They , are one and are lawlessness, as St. John declared. They exist in an illusory untrue sense of existence and are de- stroyed by changing human belief about them. We must have. at least in part, the Mind which was also in Christ Jesus in order to heal the sick.
 Thought Is causation. It Is back of all manifestations. We have only to think, truly, to have health, harmony, blessed
 ess, immortality; to know God is ster- lal life
 But let a united Christian thought de- clare and hold to 1t steadfastly that Gods law never ordained disease and suffering, but that there is an Omnipres- ant, Omnipotent law of the Spirit of life In Christ Jesus that has made us free from the law of sin and death.' and hu- ranity will gradually be redeemed from all evil and the sin that brings discord and death. It is for this that Christian Science Is striving"
 Mrs. Mims touched most interestingly on the difference between Christian Sci- ence and the new thought movement, showing the failure of the new thought movement to discern the difference be- tween the ''carnal mind," which is en- mity to Truth. and the Christ Mind, which is Truth, thus losing divine logic and Jesus idealism.
 At the close of her address she was ex- tended many sincere congratulations.
