KENosHA is paying nearly ninety
dollars year per arc light, and the
lighting company has always con-
tended that this is fair price. Now
comes John 1. Beggs, who is pretty
well known as a'man who intends to
make money out of whatever business
he goes into, and wants to furnish
light to Milwaukee at sos per year
per arc light. There must be profit
at these figures or Beggs would not
want the business. And if Beggs can
make any money at $65 light SO
could municipal lighting plant.

The Rev. W. W. Stevens Makes
a Strong Argument Against
Christian Science.
RELIGION is AS PANTHEISM
Takes up the Cudge1 for the Orthodox
Science Doctrines are False.

Answering the address of DR.. Ed
ward A. Kirnba11, who spoke here on
Thursday in defense of the tenets of
Christian Science, the Rev. w. w.
Stevens, of Park Avenue M. E.
church, delivered a remarkable ad-
dress at his church Sunday night, in
which the creed of the Christian Sci
ence church was numerically as
sailed, and in which the minister de-
clared that the science as taught was
fraud.
The lecture was one of the most no.
table ones ever delivered in Kenosha
and it was greeted by a packed house,
all denominations joining to hear the
answer to the we'll known disciple of
"Science Healing"
In prefacing his remarks the minis
ter declared that he had intended his
lecture not only as an answer to Mr..
kimba1l, but to the more logical adj
dress of Judge Ewing, which had been
delivered in different cities of Illinois
and Wisconsin. He declared that he
had made a personal and paid expert
ment of the curative powers of Chris
tian Science, and that based on his
own experience he was ready to stand
in the pulpit and declare that the
teachings of Mrs. Eddy and her fol-
lowers we're not only fraud on the
people, but menace to the christian
religion.
He declared that the lecturers of the
"Science Church, were preaching to
the public only half of their creed.
"They explain" he said, christian
Science only to the extent that it har-
monies with orthodoxy"
He charged Mrs. Eddy, in her
printed work, of denying the person
a1ity of God in man, of denying the
blood atonement and the existence Of
sin. He ridicu1ed the teachings that
the body existed only in the mind and
| the doctrine that pain was an impos-
sibi1ity.
He spoke especially of the fact that
Mrs. Eddy had declared that she was
''hea1ing as did Jesus and cha1-
1enged the believers in Science. to
show a single case in which Mrs.
Eddy or her followers had ever healed
a broken bone or effected cure where
| the tissues had been wounded. FL
said that Jesus Christ died in poverty,
while Mrs. Eddy had amassed a for
tune through her practice.
He declared that he had taken a
l dna1 nF III s&oxy ~
| the alleged cures effected by Christian
Science and that they were not genu-
inc. Most of these cures had
been affected at times when people
were suffering from nervousness and
their disease was in way dissipated
! by their enthusiasm for science.''9
"Mr. Kimba1l,' he said, claimed
that the Christian Science faith had
given to the world the CONSCIOUS
salvation, and that for this gift the
Scientists hal. been stoned. y @7
Mr.. Stevens declared that John
4 Wesley had been the man who brought
the first doctrine of conscious saliva
ton" and for it he had been stoned,
not fguratively but inIreality.
In closing Mr.. Stevens rounded oft
his address BIZ telling what other pc
pie had said in regard TO the Science
and the Science creed.f He said:
In closing, let me quote a word
from the Rev. Stacy Fowler, a lead
ing Congregational minister of Bos-
ton-the fountain head and hot bed

WITH the streets in as good condi-
ton as they are now, there is abso-
1ute1y no excuse for any bicycle rider
violating the city ordinance against
riding on the walks, but it is being
done every day. Yet the riders will
think they are being prosecuted if the
ordinance is enforced against them
when the streets get in such condi-
tion that they will have to use the
sidewalks in places to get to and from
their work on their wheels. These
things should not be all Oh one side,
and if the riders expect to be permit
ted to use the sidewalks occasionally
in winter they should be willing to
keep off of them now.
