ciple; that is, God is one with Life,
He is one with Truth, He is one with
Love, He is one with Principle; and,
therefore, since there is but one God,
there is but one Life, one Truth; one
Love, one Principle, one good. Any
view which would make Principle Life,
Truth. Love, or good separable from
God, would require fundamental unity
to be divisible, which would destroy
the unity of God. Hence, the said text
book of Christian Science says, there
is one Life, Truth, Love, Principle,
good, which is God; and Paul said to
the Athenians, For him [God] we live,
and move. and have our being"
We live, and move, and have our be-

Life, enc fundamental activity; and
whatever lives must have it's being in
that fundamental Life, and is a mani
festation of the one Life. There is but
one Mind because there is but one
fundamental being or intelligence.
Hence, the Christian Science textbook
says. ''all is infinite Mind and it's in
finite manifestation"
The position of Christian Science is.
not that we do not see objects and
things when we think we see them, but
that these objects are not seen by NOR
tails in the form in which they really
exist-the reality of the object does not
appear to them, but only a sense phe-
nomeno . The same thinking that
calls sin lleasure, that calls selfishness
wisdom, calls man flesh and blood and
bones-the same sense thinking which

it gained a sense of evil, and with it
sense of death.
Scourge of Combination
This coupling together in human con-
soiousness of d sense of good and evil
has been the one scourge of the human
family from that day to this. 1t finds
its dearest expression in counterfeit
combination of mind and matter which
1t projects out of its own consciousness
and calls man. We have seen that even
philosoph, calls and calls in vain to
this sense man, adam, where art
thou?" until it has had to give him up
as a myth. This is the one of whom
Jesus said. "Ye are Of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father you
will do. He was a murderer from the
and abode not In the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When
he speaketh lie, he speaketh of his
own: for he is a liar, and the father
of it,"
Christian Science maintains that God
never created this matter-man, that
God never created matter in any form;
and because God created all that was
created, matter never has been created
and. therefore, has no existence. We
have found that many of our most dis
tinguished modern scholars have like
wise come to the conclusion that no
such matter-man, and no such thing as

see why any one should persist in a
belief which is the occasion of so much

DONAGHEY OPPOSES
 A COMPROMISE.

In letter to Attorney General Kirby, Governor Elect Dona- ghey takes strong grounds against any compromise with the railroads on the rate question. He says in part:
 Concerning the matter of rates Chairman Allen, of our Railroad Commission, has recently spoken to me as though he and his as- sociates were considering a com promise with the railroads on this question, giving as a reason the importunities of many individual shippers throughout the state, oil account of excessive rates being imposed upon themselves, to set tie the matter for the state by compromise.
 In my judgment this would be a great mistake. A great eom- monwealth should not be made to bow down upon its. knees in the attitude of begging any person, either natural or artificial, to com- promise anything. even though few individuals may be tempor- arily suffering, and upon this sub- 1ect my advice to both you and the commission would be to do everything in your power to pre- vent a compromise, or even the consideration of one, until the legislature meets and the matter can be put before that body. In my opinion we would then be in excellent shape to so adjust rates that all parties might receive jus tice. Any compromise at all would only be a confusion and bedim the real issue instead of making 1t clearer day by day, as is now being done by letting 1t alone. If, however, you can have the injunction dissolved and throw the whole matter into the same attitude 1t was before the railroad companies appealed from the Railroad Commissions ruling, that would settle the matter at least for the present,
 Yours truly,
 c. w. =Donaghey.
