THE GROWTH Of
CHRISTIAN SC|ENCI

During the last three decades the
Christian Science movement has pass
I'd through an amazing growth. Max
ing allowance for all eXaggerations of
doctrine, all eXtrayagances of speech,
all the crudeness of every sort Incl
dent to any new movement, the hard
fact remains that there must be
something of good in religion which
has changed the lives of tens of thou
sands of people from a tragedy into
Il song of praise. II is that kernel
Ct good that we are after. | know
not how other ministers may feel, nor
ether churches. But for us there
would seem but one course to follow
II is that of open-mindedness to every
new fact of the religious life which
presents itself. Indeed, | think
may say that go so far as to APP
prOaCh this subject with q kind OF
eager sympathy. Perhaps have
feen peculiarly happy in my acquain-
lance with Christian Science people.
At any rate, | have never found my
nature up in arms, so to speak. either
ever their teachings or their lives. To
say that | accept the Christian Sci
ence system of thought as a wholly
satisfactory Interpretation of the
New Testament would not be true. At
the same time | believe most sincere
" that these people are emphasizing
certain religious facts, the import
Gnce of which cannot well be oyeres-
timated.
And this brings me straight to the
thing ! desire most of all to say.
v hat Is the one great truth that we
hay speak of as the religious handle
of Christian Science? What Is 1t that
they emphasize above everything else;
FAR more, as 1t seems to me who would
be Just, than they emphasize their
work of healing? AS | speak a hun
dred are answering, 1T is their teach
ing OF the great truth of the imma-
/ renee of God" No! 1t Is not that;
| II Is something infinitely more vital
than that; It Is what the Scripture
calls the presence of God-the living
Presence Of God. The teaching of the
I immanence of God is profound phil
CsOphical truth, but 1t is not truth
that gets hold of the hearts and lives
of men. 1t Is the presence of God,
made known to us in the redeeming,
healing, uplifting, loving, and sancti-
| Tying power of the Christi Is this,
and this alone, that sways and turns
the lives of men.
This, then, as / understand it, is
the explanation of the Christian Sci
cnce movement. The secret OF their
power is to be found in the word
reality" These people have taken
hold of that word. and as the swing
ing limb of giant tree lifts the boy
at play this word lifts them to new
heights Of experience. Their souls

The vicious and aggressive manner
in which the Republican leaders from

widely commented upon by members

against Hughes there is hardly n

TIVES BY ARISING FROM
SICK-BED

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. :. - The
announcement that Mrs. benjamin
Fay Mills will deliver an address to-

on Spiritual Sickness and Spiritual
Health" has created sensation
among the many friends and acQuain-
tances who two days ago were wait

Mrs. Mills had lain for two weeks in
critical condition.

had been able to retain for a whole
week, when health came back rs II
by miracle yesterday morning.
The nurse who has attended Mrs.
Mills was apprehensive about her
Thursday night. Mrs. Mills tried to
lift her head from the pillow, but was
unable to do 50. She said she would
rest comfortably and was left alone
for the night.
Patient Up and Dressed
When the nurse entered Mrs.
Mills room yesterday morning she
found her patient up and dressed.
She had been sitting on the balcony
enjoying the sunrise and was walk
ing about the room apparently in
Possession of her full strength.
The next startling development
was her announcement that she
would occupy the pulpit Sunday at
Blanchard Hall, which she has filled
during Mr.. Mills absence on a trip
to Portland and Seattle. The MEM
bers of the family at first demurred,
but finally gave way before the evil
dences of health and strength in the
GLOW of color that had returned and
the vigor of mind and body that was
manifest in every action.
Mr., Mills, who is now in Oakland,
had been informed daily of Mrs,
Mills condition, but their trust in the
philosophy which admits of no room
for physical sickness, nor really con-
siders separation OF time and space,
kept them both untroubled that he
should have been absent.

why is the clamor persistent for
the enactment of new laws and the
bestowal of more power. Have the
old laws proved ineffective? One sin
gle illustration is enough.
Law Provides Prison
In the month of July, 1890, the
so-called Sherman antitrust law was
enacted. 1t stands on the books to-
day and the most substantial checks
administered to the Trusts have been
applied under its provisions. The
Northern Securities case, the Joint
Traffic Association cases, the action
against the Bond Trust, all were I'M
der the Sherman law of 1890.
The Sherman law is II criminal
statute. II provides that persons
committing the acts therein enumer-
ated shall be found guilty OF a mis-
demeanor and upon conviction there
q shall be punished by fine or i'm

there any way to account for this

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 6. -
Coincident with Viscount Aoki's sum-
mons to Toxic comes information to-
day indicating that Japan insists up
on coming to a definite understand
ing on the immigration question, and
strongly urges an entirely new i'm
migration treaty with the United
States as the remedy. Thomas j.
O'Brien, American ambassador to ia
pan, today informed the State De-
partment that officials should begin
studying the conditions and the Jap
anese demands with view to franz
ing some new agreement"

to check immigration are failure;
that Japan does not wish to be hui
inflated by having different phases
of the present agreement threshed
out in Congress, and that the Toxic
Government insists upon some new
agreement which will be satisfactory
to both nations. Viscount Aoki's re-
turn is closely connected with the So
luton of these questions.
No statement was made at the
State Department today relative to
japan's new demands as conveyed
by the American ambassador, other
than the mere fact that O'Brien had
communicated with the Secretary on
the immigration question. O'Brien's
dispatch, however, called attention to
some points which Japan insisted
upon having observed, and 1t con-
veyed information relative to the
framing of a possible new treaty.
The japanese Government has
been officially informed that Con-
gresham Hayes has introduced n
japanese exclusion bill in the House
of Representatives, but confidence is
expressed that 1t will not be passed.
A strong movement has developed
IN an unexpected quarter looking to-
ward the prohibition of the emigra-
ton of all laborers to America and
Canada, and it is understood that
number of prominent people, former
members of the Cabinet, and others
intend to urge the adoption OF such
a measure. They will request the
Government to undertake the devel-
Cpment upon a large scale of Hok-
kaido, Korea and Manchuria, in Or
der to give employment to Japanese.
TOXIC, Japan, Dec. G.-The news
papers admit that ambassador Aoki's
recall was made necessary in order to
maintain friendly relations with the
United States. 1t is declared that he
arbitrarily pledged the participation
uf Japan in the Russo American Beh-
ring Sea treaty, and promised a trea-
ty prohibiting Japanese emigration
TO America in return for the settle
ment Of the segregation trouble in
San Francisco.
