It is quite true that Christian Sci

there can be nothing new - 90 pl lis'i
Truth. 1t is i'm accord with the Deca-
logue and the Sermon on the mount,
which indeed. express the essence OF
Truth. 1t cannot therefore pe new
in principle but as mace "ppllc1oie
to the dire needs OF huiilaiiily IL 10
new.
Although the influence Of mentality
unon disease is now acknowledged,
how many understood it prior TO the
publication of Science and Health
The author of that book was the frst
person to- discern the cause OF dls-
ease correctly since the Tune OF the
Master, and to give an adequate ana
complete analysis of this cause Science
and Health is the only book that en-
ables US to give a correct diagnosis OF
disease, and it is the only BOOK that
teaches how to heal meta physically.
Christian Science is even more oppoS-
ed to wrong mental methods than 1t
is to material ones. 1t declares that
hypnotism, mental suggestion social
ed suggestive therapeutics, will-poWer
are not proper methods for treating
disease. They are not founded upon
divine Principle but are only pro-
duct of "carnal mind" or error. No
matter if it be declared in books with
high-sounding or deceitful titles that
such methods were employed by Je-
sus, the self-acknoWledged fact that
they may be used as readily for evil
purposes as for good, shows that they
are neither Chrst-like nor scientific,
therefore not his methods. The good
they sometimes seem to do invariably
results in worse conditions Man is
properly influenced by divine Mind
only, and the human mind cannot out
line that influence or picture 1t.

he Promise.

IliSu, do IL is, TO accomplish the re-
generation of mankind.
The Promise.
We should be aroused to gain the
freedom which is God-given, which is
ours by right, which is an Inheritance,
lawful incorruptible, that fadeth not
away 1t is awaiting our assertion of
our right to it. God is good. You
can not find a place in the universe
where He ever fails TO be what He
naturally and eternally is. Christian
Science demands, however, something
more than mere passive acquiescense
or belief in it. Simply believing in
good, offers slight protection from
evil. The fangs of hatred and malice
must be drawn. Actively at work in
consciousness, Christian Science pro-
tect from sin, disease accident, and
every evil through the power of divine
Love. 1t is an individual as we'll as
universal benediction. 1t comes to
you and to me in our greatest or
smallest need, revealing that which
saves to the uttermost, declaring the
eternal Christ, and is says with Isaiah
! Arise, shine, for thy light is come
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee

Fear.

Fear is no part OF God and should
not therefore affect us. The fear that
God is making us sick should be ut
terily destroyed, and can be in Chris
tan Science. hTe fear that we are
SICK because of having broken some
material law of health is equally un
worthy OF respect or credence, as
science proves in many instances and
will some day prove universally and
finally.
An Exactin% But Satisfactory Study.
TO those who take pleasure in in
tellectual fields, Christian Science Of
fers opportunities for achievement far
beyond any other study.
Those VINO desire to make q thor
augh study of it will find that this inf
mite science tests the temper of their
best intellectual steel. 1t is, however,
the most satisfactory of all studies be-
cause it unfolds that which is eternal
~ true, and it can be demonstrated in
q measure every step of the way. The
satisfaction that one enjoys who
proves the principle and rule of Chris
tan Science for himself must be ex-
perienced to be appreciated. When
he knows by experience that the truth
as declared in Christian Science can
be proven. and when he proves it for
himself, he indeed enters into the joy
Of his Lord.

Comparison With Other Systems.

Various systems of healing are ex-
tant. They are all more or less mate
rial except Christian Science, which
represents more and achieves proper
tionately more than any other because
it is purely meta physical, resting upon
a spiritual basis. 1t has healed al
most every disease known to human
ity, and the so-called incurable dis
eases have all yielded to its beneficent
influence. Indeed, it is self-evident
that if any disease is not part of
God Himself, it is curable and there
must be something that can cure it.
The most that can be said of materia
medica is that it alleviates suffering.
although unfortunately, such relief is

MYSTERY
UNS0LV WE'D
ATTEMPTS TO WRECK BATTLE
SHIP CONNECTICUT RAFFLE
AUTHORITIES.

New York. Oct. 8. - The mystery
of the three attempts to wreck the
battleship Connecticut remains un-
solved today and rigid investigation
has been started. So grave was the
affair considered that the last act of
Rear Admiral Rodgers, ,commandant of
the yard, before he retired from active
service today, to be succeeded by Rear
Admiral Coghlan. was the issuance of
the following order:
"Three malicious attempts have
been made to injure the battleship
Connecticut, even to the extent of in
volving the safety of the ship and
those concerned in the occasion of the
launching on September 20. The com
mandant appreciates the good work
performed UP to date by the employees
on the Connecticut and which bids fair
to establish new record for navy
work and feels assured that it is un.
necessary to invite the cooperation OF
all concerned in preventing re
currence of these cowardly and
/ reasonable acts. This notice Is sim
ply for the information Of all patriotic
| American citizens who are employed
by the government in this navy yard.

STRUCK BY FREIGHT TRAIN

Suffering from injuries to the entire
right side of his head and deep cash
back Of the right ear, Alfred White, a
young man from Mt. Ayr, is lying at
the Ottumwa hospital, utterly ignorant
of how he was injured. White was
struck by the engine of an extra east.
bound Burlington freight yesterday
afternoon about o'clock in front Of
the Union depot, and although he rec
ognizes his friends, he does not re-
member anything relative to the ac-
cident. White. it seems, started to
cross the Burlington tracks to join
some friends near the race. He wait
ed until westbound freight had pass
ed, and crossing directly behind the
caboose, he was struck by the pilot
beam of the eastbound engine and
thrown to the ground. After the train
had passed. he was assisted into the
depot by his friends. Dr. NJ w. Pas.
coe, attracted by the ambulance, fol-
lowed the crowds to the depot, and in
the absence of Burlington physician,
DR.. S. L. Hauck, he dressed the wounds

OF the injured man. DR.. s. A. Spilman
was called and assisted DR.. Pascoe On
examination, 1t was found that White
suffered a painful cut back of the ear,
and that the cuts in his face
contained much dirt and cinders.
The ambulance was again called
and White was removed to the
Ottumwa hospital. He is reported to
be improving nicely this afternoon and
it is likely he will be sent to his home

Seymour Miller lnearcerated at oska.
Ioosa for Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses-cIaim They Are
Driven to Crime by Poverty.

From Mondays Daily.
Alleging that she was driven to
crime by poverty Mrs Maggie Miller,
formerly of this city, is in Jail in Wa.
terloo and must answer to the charge
of attempting to pass counterfeit mon
ey. A daughter is sharing the prison
cell with the mother and her husband
Seymour Miller, is in Jail at Oskaloosa
charged with getting money under
false pretenses.
The desire to get hard coin of the
realm without going through the long,
hard, tedious method of earning it has
been the undoing of this former OF
tumwa family. Some months ago a
fairy blew into Ottumwa and secured
small bunch of money by passing
confederate bills as the genuine arti-
Gle. The ease with which the deed
was accomplished looked good to Mrs
Seymour Miller, who lived on Fellows
street. She tried the game
1t worked, but sad to relate the trick
was discovered and an information
was sworn out against her. She was
i'll at the time and after serving the
warrant Mrs. Miller was allowed to re-
main at her home.
| Mrs. Miller did not await the coming
of the officer but quickly left town.
She went to Marshalltown and accord
ing to the newspaper reports of her
doings with her daughter, lived gay
/ life. Dark days came and she was
pinched for trying the confederate bill
game and landed in the Marshalltown
jail.
Husband Is Jailed.
Seymour Miller then started to the
/ rescue and in trying to- raise little
easy money in Oskaloosa, II
lis said he laid himself liza
Bile and on his arrival at Marshall
town he was promptly arrested ant
held, for the Oskaloosa officers. H,
was taken back to that city and still
lies in Jail there. Time passed ant
Mrs. Miller and her daughter got ou
of jail at Marshalltown, they hiet
themselves down the line to Waterloo
where in trying to raise the money fo
the relief of the beleaguered husband
| and parent they tried the confederate
4 bill game once more with the same oil
| result.
| Now the whole family is confined IL
| the Waterloo and the Oskaloosa Jail
and though the members of the divided
family are many miles apart 1t is ;
dead cinch that the sympathies of al
are in common. The fidelity with wticl
either party when free took the mos
desperate chances to aid those in dis
tress is beautiful to behold and i
worthy emulation in better cause.

is AN OPPORTUNE TIME
keIIy's Written Statement, Made Pub
lie Today, Comes Just at the Time
Of the Nomination Of a Candidate
for Folks Office of Circuit Attorney.

st. Louis, Oct. 3-In written con-
fession today Charles F. Kelly, speak
er of the house of delegates during the
period of the Doodle combine, relates
the story of that combine He de-
clares that prominent local politician
promised himself and others implicat-
ed that the next circuit attorney
would be "all right"
This man, so Kelly says, promised
that if they would remain firm he
would secure for them either con-
tinuance until the new circuit attorney
took effect or pardons afterward.
Nomination Made Today.
He declares that the politician said
the new circuit attorney, for which Of
flee nominations are to be made by
the democrats today, would be "his
man."
Warns Young Men.
Kelley declares that he refused this
offer, and makes this confession to
satisfy the pangs of an accusing con
science, to obey the requests of his
wife, and to do what he can to make
atonement to the public and prevent
other young men from following the
path which he declares has led him
to ruin.
Tells Story of Lighting Deal.
Kelly details the story of the city
lighting deal, for which Doodle fund
SAT, 800 was divided between nineteen
members of the combine at Julius
| Lehmann's birthday party. He declares
| that the politician named in the con
4 fession gave him the Doodle fund anc
| that, he took it to. Lehmann's house
and divided it there.
Folk Threatened.
| Kelly states that when Circuit At
/ torney Folk commenced his war or
the combine the latter tried to intimi
date him by threats of assassination
and when this had no effect all sorts
of traps were laid for him, all without
success. Then the plan of libeling Folk
through the press was tried, which wa!
participated in by prominent financiers
of ST. Louis, who feared exposure, bu1
this was also unsuccessful as nothing
could be found on which to attack the
attorney.
Every Measure Paid For.
Kelly declares that hardly a single
bill has passed the municipal assembly
in the past twenty-five years unless i
was paid for.
