H. tone of voice as solid agate will
permit: "What becomes Of the fines in
the American association7'
As Minneapolis has probably contrib
uted major share Of the 81 900 along
with St. Paul and Kansas City, the
question beareth repetition so here
it is:
In all over 81 600 has been assessed against
the players Of the American association by the
the players would like to know, but they have
no right to know, for they are only players and
have no right, according to the magnates, to
sit up and take notice. OF this 81. 600 Jack

has assessed $40, and that against Catcher Land
Of the Toledo team when Land bantered Egan
Into hning him. The other $500 has been as
sessed by OBrien's other hired and the
little president. Why do umpires take money
away from the players and put it into the Golfers
of the magnates? Why do they not put these
players out of the games without filming them
Hank O'Day, the greatest umpire in baseball
today, has never assessed fine against a
player. When any Of the players get ousrrep-
erous when Mr.. O'Day Is umpiring he puts
them out Of the game and II they continue
their tactics he has them removed from the
grounds.
There Is apparently no reason why Mr..
OBrien's umpires could not follow the example
of Mr.. O'Day and come giving general
satisfaction to the public In the last game

hopelessly transcendental and radical,
is it any more so than the teachings
of Jesus? Will anything less radical
explain how Jesus turned water into
wine, walked the wave, multiplied
the loaves and fishes; how he healed
the sick, raised the dead, cleansed the
lepers and cast out demons? Is it
not evident that Jesus saw things

Practical Basis Of Christian Science.
Christian Science has won the con-
viction of its followers because it has
brought practical proof. 1t is not
merely philosophy bringing more or
less plausible and beautiful theories !;
it is not merely another creed sup
ported by more or less convincing,
quotations of Scriptures. 1t is a
doctrine that proves its faith by it's
works. Every Christian Scientist has
had multiplied experiences of its
power in healing sickness, in destroy
ing sin, in bringing harmony out of
discord, in proving that good can
overcome evil in every experience OF
life. Christian Science is thus in it's
strictest sense scientific, because it
has for its foundation a present prac-
tical experience whose rational inter-
probation reveals Divine Principle
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-04-12

and now, come into such vital immed-
ate relation to God that His power
shall prove to be the only power; how
all evil shall disappear before the
demonstration of good and the King
dom of Heaven be established on
earth. In such an understanding of
God and his relation to man, mortals
will find that the real man is in
separately linked to limitless Life,
Truth and Love, and how they con-
stitute the controlling element in
every experience of life.
And thus Christian Science holds
that in it's real nature the Universe
is spiritual and not material; that
every object in Gods creation is an
expression of Gods thought; that
when the Scriptures say that the
"worlds were framed by the Word of
God so that things which are seen
were not made of things which do ap-
pear we are to understand that the
real substance of what has been made
is Gods thought, and that we shall
understand Gods creation just in SO
far as this becomes real to US. While
this idealism may seem to us to be

for this revealing, and her healing

the falling apple" which led her to
the discovery of how to be well' her
self, and how to make others So. -
(Retrospection and Introspection. }
Following this, during three years of
retirement, by earnest seeking, by
devoted study of the scriptures, by
practical demonstration of the Truth
already gained, she reached definite
understanding Of the Divine Science
which interperts and demonstrates
Christianity. In this Science nothing
is added to or taken from the Christ
ian ideal, but rather is that ideal
made possible and practicable.
Jesus Demonstrated Divine Law
The teaching of Christian Science
is certainly radical and revolutionary,
but any system that will interpret
and demonstrate the ideal of Jesus
can be nothing less. Jesus career
is utterly unexplainable and incredi-
BILE on any material basis. The only
explanation that can be given of his
works is that which he Himself gave.
