NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM.

James H. Anderson and the Calls
ter brothers have entered into a part
nership to do a real estate and invest
ment business, under the firm name
of Anderson-Callister Investment COM
pany with Offices at 30S South State
street. 1t is needless to say it will
be a thoroughly reliable and trust
worthy concern. The members of the
firm are well informed in everything
pertaining to the business, and will
treat their customers right.

BLUE BOOK o INFORMATION.

The Salt Lake Blue Book of Informa-

Bile little work it is, containing an ex-
cellent map of the city, the location
of the points of interest, the mode of
reaching the attractions of the city,
a directory of officials and other useful
information. The booklet is distrib-
uted free and everyone ought to have

given as a reasonable foundation for
the statements below.
In your editorial you say in sub
stance, when Mrs. Eddy was asked if
she denied the existence of disease
germs, she replied in the affirmative.
You say, Nov to deny the existence
of the germs is just as sensible as to
deny the existence of the bed bug the
mosquito the flee, the sheep tick or
any of the parasites that prey upon
the outside of the body. All are cap
able of ocular demonstration"
1t is evident that your entire thought
on this subject is the testimony of the
five physical senses and that you have
not looked beyond this to find the rea-
son for Mrs. Eddy's affirmative an
swer.
Mrs. Eddy has re-discovered the
principle of Christian healing. She is
establishing church on earth that is
healing the sick through more spirit
ual understanding of the Scriptures.
| She is demonstration of divine power
| If it were otherwise, she would have
nothing new for this age and several
hundred thousand people who have
been healed in better understanding
dage to the testimony of the material
senses and as a consequence, be in
sorrow and suffering.
| The conflict between the carnal
mind and the divine mind has caused
all the trouble in religious matters
that the world has ever known. Jesus
and the apostles were demonstrators
OF spiritual law but the carnal mind
or five physical senses was in enmity
to their spirituality and considered
them pestilent fellows, teachers of err
ror; hence, the persecution and cruel
fixion. Christian Scientists know that
germs and microbes and all matter are
real to the human mind or five senses.
We well know that all diseases, sin,
sorrow, and suffering are real to the
human mind and must be grappled
with and overcome in the understand
ing of divine law We know that
these conditions are not imaginary nor
unreal to the human mind and in hui
man experience, for we have all been
rescued from the thraldom of these
conditions; but not by fearing them
nor by contending for their reality, for
they have no foundation in God nor in
Gods Universe. The Scriptures tell
us that God made all that is made and
all He made is good.
If all discordant things and condi-
tons have a real existence, then God
made them; and He is therefore re-
sponsible for them and for all the woe
and disease and suffering produced by
them. If they do not exist in the econ
omy of the divine Mind, we have a
right to deny their verify and to claim
the protection and government of di-
vine law; this heals the sick
Thanking you in advance for the
space you give these lines, l remain,
Yours sincerely,
LEWIS B. COATES.

oath. l think your article was written
sincerely from your standpoint and for
the good of your readers. But, it car
ries misconception of the teachings
of Christian Science. Your points are
all made from the standpoint of the
five physical senses, and because of
your misapprehension of what Chris
tan Dcience really teaches.
The old is so rapidly dissolving in
this age, and the new in invention and
discovery taking its place, that we
must be thoughtful and patient with
another's views, lest we hinder our
own progress and mislead those who
read after us.
1t is evident that the discoveries
and religious reformers have been per-
secuted because they have been mis-
understood.
So it Is with the new light that
Christian Science is giving in religious
matters through a more Spiritual in
depreciation of the Scriptures which
heals the sick
The main difficulty, in religious mat
tiers, lies in the fact that too much of
the reasoning is from the basis of the
carnal mind or material senses which
testify that matter is real, man is ma
terial, mortal and dies. These senses
testify of all there is of discord, suf-
fering, sorrow, sickness, sin and
death The Scriptures say, "They be-
lieved a lie and went astray." These
physical senses or carnal mind know
nothing of anything except what may
be learned from sight, hearing, touch,
taste and SMELL hence their testimony
does not go beyond the grave, and as
a consequence they give no evidence
of immortality or things Spiritual
These five senses have led men astray
and away from God in all ages. They
lead him into sensualism and material
ism and in this way dethrOne the ON
Impotence of Spirit and enthrone mat
ter. Paul says, in substance, that the
carnal mind is enmity to God, does not
know Him, neither indeed can know
Him. Then it does not know truth
and its testimony is false. This car
nal mind is identical with the one evil
or Evil One or Adversary and is an
adverse mentality which gives false
and material conception of God,
man and the universe,-all that
exists; hence, it leads human
ity away from truth. This
false mentality, or adverse state
of thinking, is all there is to be saved
from; hence, salvation consists in de-
nying, and not in accepting, the testi-
mony of these deceptive senses.
Those who are obedient to divine law
must answer questions according to
eternal facts and not according to the
testimony of this adverse state Of
thinking.
Jesus said, Lazarus is not dead but
sleepeth." Did he state spiritual
and eternal truth because he knew
man is spiritual and immortal, or did
he answer according to the testimony
of the five physical senses, which say,
man is material and mortal? Which is
truth? Both cannot be.
Prof. Wilhelm Oswald of the Univer-
sity of Leipsig, Germany, says: Mat
ter is a thing of thought which we
have constructed for ourselves rather
imperfectly to represent what is per-
manent in the change of phenomena"
Many other noted scholars have given
similar testimonies to the unreality of
