Immortality of the Soul.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In reading a copy Of your issue Of this
date, I happened 20 notice an article
headed Immortality Of the Soul" in
which c. +. Holmes states, "as a Bible
reader. I should like 70 adduce a few
reasons why I 90 not believe in the inn
mortality of the soul" &c. l have care
fully read this article and although 1 am
neither a newspaper correspondent nor a
theologian, feel 1t to be my duty. as a
believer in the Word of God, and His ON
impotence and omnipresence. to answer
briefly the arguments advanced by the
writer Of this article.
In the first paragraph OF the article,
the writer says, 1T stands to reason that
the one who created man should know
more about his past. present, and future
than any one else" I do not dispute this.
In fact, I entirely agree with him.
Referring 10 paragraph 3. when the
writer quotes the Word as follows. God
only hath Immortality" l would say that.
although we do not now possess immor-
tality, except so far as the undying soul
is concerned, We shall in the end attain
unto immortality. if we confess Jesus
Christ with our mouths, and believe In
our hearts that God hath raised Him from
the dead.
Paragraph 5: The writer quotes as
follows, That which is born Of the flesh
is flesh" but does not give the latter
part Of the clause. "but that which is
born Of the spirit is spirit" Surely he
should give all of the clause, if any. I
do not think that in a discussion of this
kind the writer should bring the question
Of the birth Of illegitimate children. A
child, when born in this manner, cannot
be, justly, the recipient of any OF the
condemnation OF the parents.
Once more, and for the last time, re-
ferring to the article in question. a quo
tation in paragraph 6-'The soul that
sinneth it shall die" This is surely over
Swallowed and Offset by the fact that IF

VaccinatiOn-DOes 1t Protect3


Editor The Washington Herald:
So many parents in this town are Bit
terly opposed to having their children
vaccinated for school purposes, please
give the official figures as to its results
in England from the Report OF the Royal
Commission on Vaccination:
AT the Highgate Hospital London,
there were 13.655 cases of smallpox
treated in thirty-one years, all of whom
had been vaccinated.
AT the Metropolitan Asylum, In the
same city. during a period of thirteen
years. S,234 persons were treated for
smallpox, al vaccinated.
al Sheffield. England, in one year 5o35
vaccindJed persons were brought down
with the disease.
Leicester. once one Of the best vacci-
mated towns in England, had a horrible
epidemic Of the disease. This killed the
citizens faith IN the efficacy Of vaccina-
ton, and now very few are vaccinated.
and the disease IS almost reduced 20
zero" During the vaccination days the
deaths amounted to 24I per 10000 of the
population To-day. with practically no
vaccination, IT is Il per 1909
DO not such official figures give some
ground for parents to protest against
such a practice being compulsory?

COMMENT ON MARKET.

From The Washington Herald u Yesterday
S. Bowie Chapman. Of r. r. Chapman
d Co.-"The course OF prices to-day is
conclusive proof that yesterdays rally
and to-day's high opening were caused by
nothing other than short covering. Wise
people sold stock yesterday afternoon and
again this morning. and the effect was
that after the first fifteen minutes pres
sure was renewed on the industriaIs. and.
while the Copper group and Smclters de
ciined materially. the bulk OF the selling
was directed against Steel common and
preferred. each showing lack Of proper
support and making ucw low records The
railroads sold off quietly. mostly in sym
pathy with the weakness IN Steel For
the time being II is simply a traders
market, in which or sufficient weakness
conservative purchases seem in order. but
one in which it is necessary 10 take profits
quickly"
F. ". Crew. OF Henry CIcws & Co
The unfavorabe metal conditions are
roo deep seated TO permit Of any great
recovery in the general stock market
An overeXtended short. interest can al
ways produce rallies. and as the liquida-
ton IN most railroad stocks has run It's
course, this can be confidently relied upon
in the future when the bear element be-
comes too aggressive. tt must be recog-
nized that in some particulars the under
lying conditions are improving. Fairly
good crops are assured, and the recent
placing of the New York City bonds has
begotten more confidence in investments.
but withal it Is idle to expect any gen
eral building up Of a substantial char
acter while such an important branch OF
trade as the copper market IS in the pres
ent chaotic state. Advantage should be
taken of the rallies 10 sell"
Benjamin Woodruff. Of Post & Flag
THE market to-day was disappointing.
The rally yesterday encouraged the be
lief that we would see better prices; but
stocks went down easily and on small
transactions The Steels were the prin-
cipal object Of attack, and both common
and preferred have suffered material
losses. Selling in these stocks follows
upon material declines in other indus
trials the theory being that a decided
trade reaction is coming and the business
Of these companies will be greatly cur
tailed This I believe to be true, but I
believe that trade reaction Is the thing
which will relieve Wall street from the
weight of undigested securities which now
Expresses it. A year ago we were pray
ing for a moderate trade reaction, but
now, when it seems about at hand, every
one is frightened at the prospect. It
seems to me as if we must have a bet
terment from the present low level OF in
vestment, il money eases. as ii surely
will, should general business fail off de-
cidedly, as I am led to believe is likely"
