Christian Science Denounced.

Rev. DIR. William Hartman Van Allen
of Boston, at a banquet of the Church
mans Club of Baltimore, denounced
the creed of Mrs. Eddy in plain terms.
"Eddyism uses the Christian term
and the Bible. pretends to exalt Col
more highly than other religions, and
ingeniously mingles much that is good
and true and indisputable with It's own
fantastic errors. 1t is therefore we'll

signs it to do. namely, to destroy faith

FREE FARMS FOR FOREIGN VILLAGERS.

Jane Adams, before the Searchlight
club of Marshalltown, told her inter-
ested questioners that Italians and
many of the other imported laborers
can be brought to the soil in this
country only by granting them the viii
lage life to which they are accustomed
in the lands where they were born and
bred 1t is evident that the west, ex-
cept in localities where the sugar beet
is raised in quantities, is not adapted
or at present adaptable to the social
organization suggested by Miss Adj
dams. The south can do it as has
been suggested. and another opportun-
ity for the colonization and assimila-
ton Of the Industrious foreigners to
whom village life is necessity, offers
itself in the abandoned farms of
Vermont, New Hampshire, New York

1t is not worthless soil, but impover-

Hampshire remarked in 1890 in his re.
port upon 352 abandoned farms in that
state, it was not exhaustion Of the soil
in most cases which caused the de-
sertion of lands and olden domiciles.
The soil was just as good as ever; and
where it had tagged a little, little
scientific fertilization would speedily
restore it to pristine productiveness.
If colonies of Italians of the agricul-
tural type, families of Bohemians,
Poles and the agricultural laborers of
foreign birth might be settled upon
these abandoned farms, a generation
would see the Vermont hillsides green
with vineyards, alive with goats and
busy with life. The problem of maxi

Progressive Heresy a peIusion,

The belief In the progressive correc-
ton of the Christian church at the
hands of heretics is dubbed by Mr.. G.
X Chesterton one of the modern de-
lusions of doubt This pronounce
ment occurred in an address delivered
in the City Temple. London. by that
redoubtable free lance in the field OF
modern ideas. A report of his words
in The Christian Commonwealth don-
dom represents him as surprising,
that nothing in the world has been
more powerful as an attack upon the
Christian church than the vague idea
people have that ali the heretics one
after another have eddied age after
age to the attack on the Christian
church." The general idea is. so Mr.
Chesterton declares, that in the CEN
ter. after the first ages of Christianity,
there was a very corrupt and WlcKeo
Christian church. and that age after
age very good heretics got up ana
complained of 1t, and said You are
wrong here Then that hereto hanoeo
on the torch to the next hereto. MT.
Chesterton's idea is plainly that the
heretics have by no means had the
monopoly of the right sides III the
arguments that have arisen between
the church and it's heretical critics.
He says:
IF | know anything whatever OF hu-
man history you may take 1t from me
that that idea of the progressive cor
rection of the Christian church is to-
tally false do not say that now ana
again hertic may not have salo
something that was very valuable 70
the Christian church, but say that II
is false that upon the whole the Chris
tian church was wrong and the mere
tics right as the ages went on. About
half of the efforts of the Christian
church since it has existed in TINS
world have been directed to restrain
ing religious fanaticism, but we live IN
an age in which the dangers are all on
the side of materialism. In the earlier
ages of the Christian church the whole
danger was on the other side. People
wanted to fast and hurt themselves
or course, 1t was profound psycholog-
ical and spiritual reaction from the
self-indulgence of the pagan world
One Of the popes had to issue an edict
against martyrdom, because Christians
were valueing their physical lives too
lightly. The extreme degree of enthu-
siasm and fanaticism had to be re-
pressed in early Christian times. Chris
tianity stood upon the whole for re-
sistance to fanaticism."

4 COUNTRY WITH 4 SWEET TOOTH.

The average citizen of the United
States seems to have consumed one
half his own weight in sugar in the
year just ended. Figures compiled by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor show that
the quality of sugar brought into the
the United States in 1906, plus that
produced at home minus the quantity
exported amounts to nearly 6la billion
pounds, and if we divide into this
enormous total the number of people
in the United States we get an average
consumption of IS pounds per capita.
The cost of this 6k billion pounds of
sugar to the consumer must have been
over 300 million dollars, since the aver
markets of refined sugar has been, for
the year. Az cents per pound; and
when to this is added the cost of trans
portation to the consumer and the
profit of the retailer it is quite appar-
ept that the cost to the consumer must
have been more than 800 million dol
lars during the year just ended.
One-fifth of this enormous total of
611s billion pounds of sugar was pro-
: duced at home. another one-f1fth was
brought from our own islands, and the
remaining tlree-fifths from foreign
countries these statements being OF
course in round terms. The actual
quantity of sugar imported from for
eign countries, including the Philip
pines. during the year, as shown by the
reports of the bureau of statistics, just
completed. was 3,s64,655,661 pounds;
the quantity brought from Hawaii and
Porto Rico was 1,2S1,3S4,946 pounds;
the quantity produced in the United
States is estimated for the year at L.
SO4. 100000 pounds.
More than nine-tenths of the sugar
imported from foreign countries and all
Of that brought from our own islands
was produced from cane. and less than
ton in the United States little less
than one half was from cane and
little more than one-half from beets.
OF the 6la billion pounds of sugar con-
sumed in the United States last year,
SIX billions was produced from cane
and about billion pounds from beets.
This is in marked contrast with con-
ditions in Europe, where by far the
larger proportion of the sugar con-
sumed is produced from beets.
The quantity of beet sugar consumed
in the United States varies greatly.
The quantity brought in from foreign
countries-chiefly Germany-was. in
1906, in round terms 375 million pounds,
but in 1905, only a year earlier, the
total was but so million pounds. while
in 1904 it was 225 million pounds. The

is steadily increasing, having been but
1856 million pounds in the year 1900 and
In 1906 672 millions having in that year
for the first time exceeded the produc-
ton of cane sugar In the United States.
The cane sugar produced in the United
States in 1900 was 800 million pounds
and in 1906 600 millions. Thus beet
sugar production increased $50 per cent
from 1900 to 1906, while cane sugar
production increased but "a per cent.
these figures being based upon the lat
est estimates of the 1906 production.
The actual increase in quantity pro-
duced In that period was. of beet sugar
4S7 million pounds, and of cane sugar
20 millions.
Rapid as the increase in sugar pro-
duction in the United States has been
in recent years, 1t has not by any
means kept pace with the increased
was 4.3sO,592,640 pounds, and in 1906.
6,415,3S9,120 pounds, the increase in
consumption in the ten years being o.
o24.S16,4S0 pounds. The production in
1895 was 647,635,520 pounds. and in
1906, 1,3O4,607,360 pounds, an increase
OF 656,971,S pounds. The increased
consumption in the ten-year period was
2,025 million pounds and the increase
in production only 657 million pounds.
Thus the increase in consumption from
1895 to 1906 was more than three times
as great as the increase in home pro-
duction. The share which domestic
sugar formed of the total consumption
in the United States was, according
partment of commerce and labor in
1906. 201a per cent; In 1905. 21.9 per
cent: in 1895, 1914 per cent. and in 1880,
16 per cent. Prior to the civil war
domestic sugar formed more than one
half Of the total amount consumed in
the United States, having been in 1855,
81 per cent, and in 1885, IS per cent,
tho at that time the quantity consumed
per capita was far less than at the
present, having been in 1S45, 20
pounds; In 1855 and in 1860, 80 pounds;
in 1870, S5 pounds; in $780, 43 pounds;
in 1890, SO pounds; in 1900. 65 pounds,
and in 1906. IS pounds per capita.
