ROUGH CANOE TRIP Sheffield Freshman Crosses the Sound in Small
 Boat. LAUNCH WAS DISABLED H. M. Matheson Did Not Want a Long Trip by
 Train.
LAUNCH WAS DISABLE

Hugh M. Matheson, Shelf freshman rooming at 145 Prospect street, had a wild canoe ride Saturday night, cross ing the sound from Stamford to his fathers home at Lloyds Neck, Long Island Matheson has been accustomed to go home every Saturday, crossing the sound from Stamford in a gasolene launch. but on the trip a week ago the launch was disabled and laid up at Stamford for repairs, where Mathe- son found it in drydock last Saturday.
 The only other way to go to Lloyds Neck would be a long trip by rail and on account of the length of time this would require the freshman was un- willing to undertake it. So he bor- rowed the canoe from member of the Corinthian Yacht club and despite the attempts of the members to dissuade him, he started across the country.
 The members of the club watched the frail craft being tossed about by the white caps until it was swallowed up in the distance and great doubt was expressed that he ever reached the other side alive. Matheson, however, reached Long Island shortly after 9 o'clock having battled with the waves for seven hours. He thought several times he would not be able to reach the shore, and was on the point of giving up when he spied the shore light and renewed hiss efforts.

FAILURES AND CURES OF EDDYISM Successes Due to "sugges- tive Therapeutics" Not
 to Hindu Meta
 physics.
CHRIST'S HEALING
 NOT PARALLELED
Mrs. Eddy Deserves Credit for Her Opposition to the Patent Medicine
 Iniquity.

The Rev. Francis T. Brown of tha First M. E. church last night delivered the last of the series of his interesting sermons on Christian Science. He chose for his topic: Why No Real Christian Need Belong to the Cult Called Christian Science" There was 9 large attendance, MT. Brown said:
 Mrs. Eddy says that she enjoins upon her students ito hold no controversy over the, misconceptions of Christian Science" Judging from the number of marked newspapers that have reached me recently, Mrs. Eddys "Committee. on publication for Connecticut" has felt called upon to disregard their Leaders injunction, and to attempt to contro- vert what they consider the present speakers misconceptions" of their cult. In this connnection Bryant's fam ous lines have several times suggested themselves:
 Truth crushed to earth shall rise
 again
 The eternal years of God are hers; But Error wounded writhes in pain
 And dies among his worshippers.'
 Evidently the shafts shot during these discussions from the positions of physical science, metaphysical ideal-e ism and New Testament theology, at 4 the Hindu error intertwined with Mrs. Eddy's teachings, have found some joints in the rcfurbished armor of that ancient untruth We have sought to- conserve all involved truth and we cans not regret the writhing of any error. That particular error which makes sin, sickness and the physical universe mere delusions of the human mind, WIS. never revealed by God to Mrs. Eddy, and has never had the slightest connec I tior with the teachings of Jesus Christ or of His apostles; and though MS, \ Eddy and her followers may not FnoW .Iif. it is historically an error of Indian thought. The following letter under date of oct 25, from tho distinguished metaphysician Prof. Borden r. Bown5 of Boston University is self-explana- tory in this connection
 October 25. 1907 My dear MT. Brown I received the paper containing your sermon on Christian Science Metaphysics and read 1t with interest and approval 4 So far as this doctrine has any i1tel- lectual standing, even as an error 1t. seems to rest upon confounding experir ence and philosophy. There Is a cer- tain order of experience which is as it is and it's consequences are what they are and will be what they will be-, whatever we may think about them. This experienced order is quite inde- pendent of metaphysics and 1t is just the same for Berkeley, Hume and Mill as it would be for Reid, Hamilton or I the most besotted realist. There is nothing in metaphysics that enables U $ to get along practically better on one theory than or another. Coal, cioth- ing, provisions, etc., may be called things" phenomena" 'illusions, "nothings," but they are just as neaes- sary under one name as under another

,RED1T CURRENCY NEEDED
ppinion of Chairman of House Bank
 ing Committee.

New York, Nov. 3.-Permanent re- fefi from the present monetary strin- eency can only be had through a sys- lem of credit currency adequate to aneet the requirements of. trade and 5edeemable in gold coin, was the opin- on expressed to-day by Representa- live Charles N. Fowler of New Jer- < ey, chairman of the banking and cur fency committee which will at the looming session of congress, endeavor
 o have a law passed providins for $redit currency issued by the national banks. MT. Fowler has advocated
 redit currency as a means of prevent 7 ng tight money for many years.
 Many features of the credit currency system were more than favorably Eiewed by many members of the
 American National Bankers associa-
 ion at their convention in Atlantic 'city last September, said MT. Fowler
 to-day.
 MT. Fowler continued his statement by saying:
 "The cause of the currency strin- &ency is that there is scattered broad &ast throughout the country, at the hines, in the wheat, corn and cotton Fields, in the pockets of the people, Hills of the stores and locked up, about R1,300, 900, 900 of the reserve money lbf the United States, most of which,
 lnder a proper condition would be in
 he banks, serving as reserve. Tenn borary relief will be through the Forced use of current credit in the form of clearing house certificates, eashier's checks and due bills of busi- hess houses and manufacturers, dur Ing the next ninety days. The per 4nanent cure must come through a Bystem of credit currency expanding And contracting with the ordinary de-
 hands of the smaller trade, precisely hs checks and drafts do in the broader |Eield of commerce.

STATION AGENTS CHANGE
Retrenchment of New Haven Road
 Makes Work Heavy.

New London, Nov, S.-A. H. Barber of Lyme is the latest agent to leave the station forces and secure a posi- tion as tower man. John Haines of Guilford will take his place.

 The work of station agents along the New Haven system is so exacting nowadays that with the help reduction program recently adopted by the road it is impossible for the agents to do justice to their work, they claim
