new theory into the Bible and say that
it is the Holy Ghost, we then have
right to say that this verges close upon
blasphemy. Those who teach such doc
trine do not teach a pure Christianity.
How Christian Scientists do struggle
in their tangle of absurd propositions.
They claim God is all and in all and
yet talk about devil Is he included
in this allness of God? If not, where
is he? If he is separate, then God is
not all. If he is nothing then why
speak of him?
Mr.. yesterday says of Christ: HE
suffered, died and rose to accomplish
mans salvation" They borrow their
statement from orthodox teaching. Ac-
cording to Christian Science when
Christ came into human conditions, He
came into mortal mind" which is a
counterfeit stake; He pretended to
suffer when there is no reality in suf-
fering; He died when there is no truth
in death, and rose again, presenting an
appearance which was false to truth.
Can anybody offer a more daring re-
pudiation of plain Bible teaching than
that? We say it was a real atone
ment which Christ made and not one
in appearance only.
How can Christian Science ask a
Judge of the court to condemn a vio-
lator of the law when they say their
is no such thing as sin or evil? If
he is guilty of a false BELIEF why
should he be condemned? Their views
put into practice would unsettle So
ciety.
Listen to Mr.. yesterdays queer talk
about a lie. "A lie believed ruptures
harmony, but when once seen to be
untrue, a restoration OF harmony re-
suits, both the lie and it's results are
wiped out and rendered harmless"
Strange doctrine, indeed! This was a
real lie because 1T ''ruptured har-
mony." But just look at it and you
will see that it is the truth instead of a
life and your look wipes out all the bad
results. Now, if there were bad re-
suits then it was a lie that produced
them If there was no lie then did
truth rupture harmony? Such a jun
BILE of illogical reasoning makes this
cY utterly bewildering. 1t is not a
clear and plain putting, of Scripture
truth. 1t is twisted and garblo1
commentary on some parts of the BihlA
and the rest is passed over in silence.
When real sickness comes they feel
compelled to deny what is a reality
and when they did, which is proof posi-
! tive of sickness, they have no con-
seriousness but that of defeat. The true
Christian, trusting in Christ, comes off
more than conqueror through Christ
that loved him. Do not envy those
who so speedily take up with this
jumbled philosophy, their eyes will be
opened sooner or later.

CUBS PUT TO R0UT.

"A few dress rehearsals yesterday be-
fore tackling the tail-end Brooklyns
might have helped the Cubs game. The
rainy speel had rusted their team work.
Chances rearranged cast of characters
got its cues and lines all balled up and
did everything backward. The new
lineup could get only one clean hit
oq Mcintyre and the Trolley Dodgers
won to 8.
Johnny King couldn't throw to sec
ond to save his life. Not once dur
ing the game or in practice between
the innings did he hand the ball down
to second in Klingesque manner. What
allied him goodness only knows, but the
Brooklyns beat it down to second just
as they pleased. Five of them stole
out because Evers was able snatch a
wild throw in one hand slap the ball
onto the runners with the same motion.

CAFE ROBBER CAPTURED

At last one Of the bold thieves about
Gary has been captured. Clever work
by Constable Robert Law, was respon-
sible for the apprehension of the GRIM
inal, who was caught in the act of
robbing the Palace Car Restaurant on
Tenth avenue, near Broadway. While
the proprietor of the place stepped out
few minutes to gossip with a neigh
Dor between meals, a prospective Gus
toner stepped into the place unknown
TO the lunch car man. Oficer Law
was standing near the place at the time
and noting his suspicious actions,
watched him closely. The man deftly
slipped something into his pocket and
attempted to make his getaway. He
ran into the arms of the officer. When
searched, the man was found to have
two eggs in his possession. After "a
left arm hook to the jaw the proprietor
concented to his release. The man
gave the name of Pat Walsh and said
that he had worked for Nash & Dowdle
the sewer contractors.

MAY REOPEN PLANT SOON
Federal Furnace Company
Are Making Many
Improvements.

The Federal Furnace company One
Hundred and Eighth street and the
Calumet river, who have been closed
down for the last six months, are max
ing preparations for reopening their
entire plant during the course of the
next five or six weeks.
This news comes from an authentic
source and is bringing no little joy to
the laboring men of South Chicago.
The Federal Furnace company now
have one large blast furnace and their
second one is now under construction
and is expected to be completed the
last of next month. The new furnace

to avert accidents.

Over fifty men are now working on
the new furnace, rushing if along with
all the speed at their command It is
the intention of the company to erect
another furnace during 1909 in order
that they may properly take care of the
large amount of business the company
has in view.
Speaking of their closing down,
superintendent Hubbard said that in
one way it was good thing, because
the whole plant had been repaired dur
ing their temporary close down and
when they started up again the ma
chinery would be in Al order and
there would be no closing down for
slight repairs.

BELIEVES IT IS MURDER
Sheriff f. S. Carter Cleans
New Facts in Lake
Station Mystery.

From facts CLEANED in Hobart yes
terday. Sheriff Fred Carter is now
satisfied that the mysterious skeleton
in the abandoned grave of Phillip Sny-
der at Lake Station. is that of Amelia
VanKuren, daughter of Henry Van
Kuren, who lived with his family at
Lake Station today.
Sheriff Carter believes that the girl
died an unnatural death and that she
was buried in the abandoned grave to
hide the crime
He came to Hammond today to call
the attention of the prosecuting at
torney to the case. Mr. Carter will
not commit himself as to who is under
suscipion.
Hobart is thick with gossip today
about Amelia VanKuren, who is re-
membered at a 19-year-old girl. She
had curly auburn hair and shortly be-
fore she disappeared was known to
have had them cut to the length of
| five or six inches.
This length of hair was found on the
skull of the skeleton in Lake Station.
although much of it on the crown had
disappeared
With Amelia VanKuren missing.
and there neveh having been salts
/
ance, Sheriff Carter and the Hobart
residents are lead to believe that she
was the victim of an outrageous crime
and that she was then buried in the
cemetery to hide the victim.
Henry VanKuren, the father, has
been located in Chicago within the
past few days. 1t was learned that
he was a members of one of the Chi
cagoe brick mason unions and is said
to live at 6343 Hermitage avenue.
THE father may know no more
about the disappearance of his daugh-
ter than we do said Sheriff Carter to-
day. but If the prosecutor desires. we
will go into this mystery to the bot
tom.
Information to THE TIMES from Ho-
bart this afternoon and of which Sheriff
Carter has been appraised since, is 10
the effect that Amelia VanKuren is
|. still alive and married, she and her
family living in Canada. A letter to
this effect was seen last July by Mrs
Tyler of Hobart when she visited
friends in Goshen
In the meantime information comes
. from another source that Henry Van
Kuren was accidentally killed eighi
months ago in Chicago, when he was
caught IN building that collapsed.

Editor of THE TIMES: You were kind

extract of a sermon I preached in an

STREET GAR RIDE;
WEDDING FOLLOWS
Pretty Miss Sarah Turner
of East Chicago WEEDS
at Youngstown.
FRIENDS ARE HIGHLY GRATIFIED
Romance Starts on Hammond Car
Over Two Months
Ago.

When William McNabb of East Chi
cago accompanied Miss Sarah Turner
of the same city, to Hammond to see
her on a train for Youngstown, Ohio,
about two months ago, his friends lit
tie dreamed that that was the last they
would see or hear of him until they
received the announcement of the mar
riage of the young couple.
In fact Mr.. McNabb surprised not
only his friends, but himself, and most
of all the girl who is now his bride.
And thereby hangs a tale. which con-
tains more of romance than the aver
age courtship and marriage of the
present prosaic times
1t Was Pretty Romance.
Miss Turner was employed by Mr..
and Mrs. Burhop in Magoun avenue.
Young McNabb had a goob job with
the Republic Steel and Iron company.
The young people saw considerable OF
each other and 1t was generally ex-
pected that some day they might wed
Miss Sarah, however, got homesick for
her old Ohio home and decided to GO
back to Youngstown. Mr.. McNabh
undertook the pleasant task of ac-
companying Miss Sarah to Hammond
helping her with her luggage, checking
| her trunk, and negotiating fer heI
ticket.
All the way over on the street cal
| Mr. McNabb kept cycling the girl he
was escorting. The nearer they APP
preached Hammond, the better she
looked to McNabb. With every revo-
luton of the wheels of the big double
tracker on which they were riding
she grew more charming.
Mr.. McNabb Very Busy.
Mr.. McNabb, arrived at the depot
and busted himself with the various
details incident to helping a fair trav-
eler off.
| When the signal showed that the
train was about to arrive Mr.. McNabt
was sliced by a sudden inspiration
What need was there for two such con
genial souls to be separated even by
the distance between Hammond and
Youngstown? None whatever.
He had the price of ticket t
Youngstown in his jeans and he made
dash for the window, bought the
necessary bit of pasteboard and hoped
on the train with Miss Turner before
the latter realized what was on hi!
