VIM. H. Marsh Calmly
Learns Fate From Doctor.
Told That He Has Pronounced
Case Of HydrophobIa.
Leaves Pasteur Institute For Home,
Facing Certain Death.

New York. May 10.-William H.
Marsh, an aged wealthy man, when
told today that he undoubtedly would
die within a week of hydrophobia,
calmly turned away with the remark
that he would be ready for the sum-
mons when it came Without a tremor,
he walked down the steps of the Pas
teur Institute, stepped into his car
r:age and started for his home in
brooklyn.
"You waited too long," the surgeons
at the institute told him. after they
had made their examination. "Ouf
treatment cannot help you. You have
hydrophobia."
There was not a falter in his voics
or change in the face as he heard
them. The muscles about his mouth
kent twitching and jumping and his
jaws clinched spasmodically. but these,
things have been happening ever since
tie disease first manifested itself
three days ago.
"How much time do you give me?"
he asked.
Not long, said the physician.
"Probably not more than four or five
days"
WELL" he said. "if I have to CO..
can face it. Ny business is in shape
and a day or two more will see it all
settled. I'd rather die some other way,
but I'm not afraid"
Mr. Marsh treated the wounds of his
pet spaniel which had been bitten by
a strange dog. The spaniel licked his
hand in gratitude and Mr. Marsh was
infected through a small scratch on
ore of his fingers. The spaniel died OF
hydrophohia.

Christian doctrine. refer to the
great commandment given by Jesus to
his disciples, called by some Bible
commentators his great commission to
the Twelve. This commandment is a
unit. 1t is not two commandments.
There is in this language no authority
to separate or subdivide it. No more
authority to do this than there is to
reject it as a whole. The words re-
lating to healing sickness and doing
the other works there mentioned are
not only part of the general command
lnent, but Of the very sentence in
which occur the words relating to
preaching. Yet we have been taught
to believe that the part relating to
healing the sick and doing the other
works mentioned was intended only
for the time of Jesus and his disci-
pies. Christian Scientists cannot agree
to this attempt to cut out or make
obsolete this part of the great COM
mandment.
"When we think of the great works
that Jesus did during his earthly ca
rcer, now he overcame and destroyed
all kinds OF sin, how he healed all
manner of sickness and disease, and
how he did many other wonderful
works we may well be astonished at
his words as they are recorded in
john 14:12: HE that believeth on me,
the works that do shall he do Also"
and these yet more astonishing words:
"And greater works than these shall
ye do, because l go to my Father
At the close of his final command
ment he said: "Lo, I am with you al
ways even unto the end of the world"
If these words are true we must be-
lieve that the Christ power and the
Christ spirit were never Withdrawn
from this world. Christian Scientists
are rot responsible for Jesus great
commandment to his disciples Mrs.
Eddy did not write it. But we are
responsible together with all other
protesting Christians for either ac-
cepting or rejecting these plain teach
ings.
enc Christian Scientist in his
analysis Of the causes of sickness tells
you that there are causes mental III
origin. such as anger and malice and
hatred and jealousy and the spirit OF
revenge and kindred mental qualities.
Can the drug enter human thought
and regulate wrong conditions there?
"Christian Scientists do not claim to
be able at this period to do all of the
works that Jesus and some of his dis
ciples did, but they do sincerely claim
to be making an honest and united
effort in that direction. And even
thus far their lahors have been
crowned with such wondrous and
gratifying success they may well be
encouraged to go on, and on, in the
Christ way, with the full hope and ex-
pectation and knowledge that if they
are true to their sacred trust, sooner
or later there will be ACCOMPLISHED upon
this earth all of the great works that
Jesus did and taught his disciples to
do, and through them the whole
wnrld-all the nations thereof. Not
only so. but the greater works of
which he prophesied shall be likewise
accomplished.

WATERVILLE,
A Communication.

EdltOrS OF Kennebec journal:
l have just read in your issue OF
May II, the article headed Hon. w. r
Haynes Endorsed by Mrs. Sarah G.
Crosby" Your preface speaks Of Mrs
Crosby as "a prominent Temperance
woman and worker, and for many
years president of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union of Waterville.' y
This naturally gives to outsiders tn,
impression that the views expressed
by Mrs Crosby are also the views of the
Waterville Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union and other branches OF
the organization. Therefore, AS on.
who has long been in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union as local.
county and state worker, may I have
the privilege of saying a few words
on the subject?
First-It has been some years since
Mrs. Crosby was president of the
Waterville Union, which is now doing
good work under the able leadership
of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Foster.
Second--Mrs. Crosby has an I'M
doubted right to personally indorse
any Gubernatorial candidate she
chooses: But we wish it distinctly
understood that the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union, as an organi-
cation, are firmly united in an uncom-
promising opposition to any candidate
for public office who does not stand in
favor Of the Prohibitory Law and its
enforcement, and who is not commit
tedly and unqualifiedly opposed to re-
submission" so called.
Third-Whilc Mrs Crosby does not
say that Mr.. Haynes has committed
himself to the interests of Woman's
Suffrage, yet she would have us to in
fer that he has given US reason to
expect help i'll the attainment OF this
And because of this. we are to concede
our opposition to resubmission. In
other words, we are to barter it fol-
the right of franchise.
We answer-"We have the Prohibi-
tory Law now and we believe that "a
bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush," even though Mr.. Haynes
friendly offices, as Governor of Maine,
might CO enable us to catch the 1.-TWO
birds in the bush.''
We appreciate Mrs Crosby as a fell
low temperance worker, and honor
iiSA poSitioiI do hSliJlIdSS NOIlllIl, Dul
we cannot indorse candidate who
says he loves prohibition and at the
same time works for rcsubmission.
AS a Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, one of our cardinal prin-
cirles is d belief in the equal rights OF
men and women at the ballot box. But
our chief reason for desiring and
working for the same is because we
believe that on questions of morality,
temperature and reform, the ballot in
the hands of women would give a tre-
lnendOus impetus to all the forces that
make for Righteousness.
But, while believing all this. we shall
never "hail resubmission" of our pres
ert Prohibitory Law. even though we
are forever counted out of the gov
ernmcnt for the people and by the
people"
These are the views of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, eX-
pressed by rnoman who sometimes
nesitates to speak for herself" but
never for the w. &. T. y.
