Growth In England.

Christian Science first became
prominent in England through its
adoption by the Earl of Dunmore
and his wife, the countess. Both
claimed to he completely cured Of
a SO-Called incurable disease, and
they Immediately became read

Both the earl and countess are ac-

of London. II is free of debt.

a church property valued in the mil

With growth and prosperity has
come increased trouble and opposi-
ton, and today the venerable head
of the church, and the religion
itself, are menaced as never before
in their history.
Arrayed against Mrs. Eddy is her
own son, who, through the courts,
is attacking the mental Soundness
of this woman of eighty-six years
and the integrity of her business,
financial and religious associates.
1t was in 1866 that Mrs. Eddy
first enunciated the principles of
Christian Science" She felt that
she had finally discovered the real
religion.
Her plan, in a Nutshell, was
merely to return to the beliefs and
teachings of nearly /, 900 years ago.
She believed that by so doing it
would be possible to accomplish all
things that were done during
ChriSt'S stay in the world.
Slowly, with one solitary pupil,
Mrs. Eddy began the herculean task
of converting the world. She taught
that it was a revival or restoration
of apostolic Christianity. Nothing
more and nothing less. The start
was made in Lynn, Mass, and for
several years her task seemed hope
less. At times she was almost over

resultant from their works were
similar in appearance to those re-

THAT Christian Science is prop
erly estimating human ills and
dealing with them ,intelligently, Is
evidenced by the remarkable sue
cess of its practitioners; and it IS
therefore incorrect to say that
Christian Science proposes 10 dis
pose of sir by merely denying its
existence, except when denial is un-
derstOod TO mean a refusal longer
TO think or act If.
By conduct consistent with the
spiritual reality of existence, one
should so depart from material
practices and indulgences as to out
grow the possibility of sickness, for
1t is not our spirituality but our
materially which sins, and, as a
penalty, suffers. It is the mission
of this Science to make rs adher-
entS too good TO be sick. It must
be conceded that the good man is
on the road TO health and harmony,
though he may not have found it,
while the evil doer is on thc road
to destruction, though he may not
have reached it."

Probably few peopla who read

Martin Chuzziewit,' still the long
editorial reference to the story In a
Virginia paper, reproduced elsewhere
will be read with interest and may
serve TO dispel an impression which
seems to have gained ground too gem
eral that Dickens wrote disparaging-
ly only of Cairo. There is strong rea-
son to believe that when the great
novelist wrote "Chuzzlewit" his liver
had for some time refused to perform
its functions properly. The trouble
probably began before he left Eng
land for New York and at various
times during his trip. and after he
returned and was writing his story,

"DIscIPINING A PILOT"

Under the above heading the Ch-
cinnati Enquirer of Saturday makes
the following editorial comment upon
the incidents in the Presidents river
trip in which Pilot Clarence Nichols.
Of this city, has figured so promi-
nently:
A man named Nichols was the pilot
of the steamer Fred Hartweg. which
was one of the boats which escorted
the President down the Mississippi
River There was some sort OF mis-
hap. which as II was brought to the
attention of the President, seemed TO
him to be biamable on the man at the
wheel. and which even placed lives In
peril. Including that of the Command
er in Chief Mr.. Roosevelt thereupon
peremptorfly ordered the dismissal Of
Nichols and displaced him from the
service. the navigation OF the Missis-
slpp6 being under Federal auspices.

Oh, probably not and the common
apprehension viii be that there will
be no necessity for an appeal. In his
recent seclusion the President may
not have been placed in possession Of
the full particulars of the inyestga-
tion by the inspectors. When he
learns all the facts his generosity and
sense OF justice will no doubt lead
him to instantly revoke his order and
restore Nichols to his duties. Indeed,
that action may be taken before this
can reach printed form.
