DECLARES UNFAMILIARITY WITH SUBJECT
LEADS TO ERROR REGARDING CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

ner, what is to be said concerning
belief that does not confer this ability Z
1t would seem more modest, as we'll
as Christian, for those who are unable
to heal the sick according to Christs
command, to refrain from criticising
those who are in a large measure full
filling these commands.
While it is true that Christian Sci
entists today are not Gble~to do all the
works performed by the Master, they
are very grateful for present accom-
plishments which have proved Chris
tian Science to be the most potenttheal-
ing method on earth today, and they
further rejoice that Wen they attain
a greater degree of spirituality they
will perform greater works.
Our critics remarks regarding the
denial of matter further emphasizes the
fact that he is not acquainted with
even the fundamentals of this Science,
and therefore not in a position to criti-
else. Christian Science does not ignore
sin and disease, but recogni- IS the inn
portance of overcoming and destroying
them, with the result that under treat
ment a patient is improved, not only
physically, but morally and spiritually
as well.
Our critic also evidently disapproves
of the charge for treatment which, by
the way, is not two dollars but just
half that amount. If ministers, teach
ers, physicians and others receive COM
pensation for their services, is it un-
reasonable for Christian Science prac-
titioners to make a modest charge for
their timer The time is all that can be
paid for, as the physical and spiritual
regeneration that comes through Chris
tian Science treatment cannot be paid
for in dollars and cents. The law of
compensation is as old as time itself.
and was recognized and practiced by
Jesus and his disciples. In sending the
latter forth Jesus instructed them to
make no arrangements for main
tenance, telling them that the laborer

LOS ANGELES, Aug. A-LEditor
Herald: In your issue of the 22d ap-
pears a criticism of Christian Science
by w. H. Hanna, which, owing to his
unfamiliarity with the subject, sets
forth erroneous conclusions and there
fore calls for correction. >
If our critic understood the teachings
of Christian Science he would know
that its logic is sound and consistent
throughout, and that its conclusions are
never evaded or misrepresented by
Christian Science writers, and he would
also know that it is not the purpose of
these writer's to bring the readers to
the feet of Mrs. Eddy or to advertise
her book.
To impute such motives to these
writer's is to break a scriptural COM
mand Judge not
AS matter of fact anyone who has
even a slight knowledge of the teach
ings of Christian Science knows that
selfshness in all it's forms cannot
thrive in it's atmosphere, but on the
contrary, is extinguished as the prin-
ciple of this Science is understood.
IL our critic were familiar with Mrs.
Eddy's teaching regarding personality
he would have omitted his remarks In
regard to worshiping Mrs Eddy, for she
has steadfastly told her followers that
they must not look to her personality,
but to the Christ-Truth she teaches
and has said in one of her messages,
Follow your leader only as she follows
Christ" She is constantly pointing her
students to impersonal Truth for guild
ance.
AS to the Christian Science interpre-
tation of the Scripture which our critic
finds fault with, we reply with some~
thing better than argument, viz, ample
proof in healing the sick and sinful.
Jesus said: "He that believeth on
me the works that 1 do shall he do
also" and again, "These signs shall
follow them that believe" If true be-
lief is to be followed by the ability to
heal the sick as well as reform the sin

TRULY "ExcELLENcEs"

A SPECIAL COMMISSION on the
N Panama canal has submitted to
IA President Roosevelt a report which
says: 1.-THE commission desires to en-
phasizes three striking excellences of
the canal administration. These are,
first, the recognition by the govern
ment that the housing, feeding and
health of its employees bear vital re-
lation to their economics and efficiency,
and az a consequence the government
has been able to take up and success
fully carry on a work that had been
abandoned by another government, with
a high average Of health.
Second. The improved relationship
between the government and the em-
pIoyes which makes it now possible for
the workingmen to have complaints in
vestigated. and If proved rectified.
third. The liberal provision that is
now made for relief in cases of tenn
porary disability"
It is gratifying that spirit of hu-
nanitarianism, even Of paternalism, is
being shown to the builders Of the
Panama canal by their avuncular en-
ployer.
We think 1t would not be bad idea
il Uncle Sam showed an equally keen
interest In the needs of all his work
ingrnen. and 1t would be especially
gratifying to good citizens IL he could
be persuaded to take measures for the
relief Of two million children who are
now employed In mines, mills and fac
tories and are sacrificing their educa-
fion and giving up their youthful
strength in order that the extortionate
pronts OF few interests" may be in
creased.

Political Points
Hearsts sideshow

There is but one chance to defeat
Taft, and that is by the election or
BRYAN. We think no one doubts the
absolute honesty and sincerity Of the
Democratic nominee. His election Of
fers the one opportunity of breaking
the hold on the government of those
forces that have ruled for so long.
Any citizen who thinks will realize
that this Is true. He will realize fur
ther that since Taft or Bryan is going
to be elected he must choose between
them. If he votes for Hearst's side
show he is simply giving vote to Taft
by weakening the opposition to Taft

Taft will remain in Ohio during the

no speeches outside of Cincinnati. He
