RESUME OF TALK ON
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Delivered by Mr.. BiCkReII
Young Saturday Night.

The following is a resume of the
address of Mr.. BicknelI Young on
Christian Science Saturday even
ing at Miss Bells studio:
Mr.. Bicknell Young, a member of
the Christian Science Board of Lee
tureship of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist in Boston, covered
many of the salient points of the
teachings of Christian Science. Re
cognizing that the world has not gen
orally entertained any, scientific view
of religion, the speaker dwelt upon
this point, answering objections that
have been raised in relation to it. He
said: Religion and science both re-
fer to absolute truth and are not
inherently antagonistic; are not two
but one. Jesus, the founder of the
Christian religion, demonstrated this
fact, for he taught and illustrated in
his works an exact, unfailing know
ledge of God, which is in it's very
essence scientific. His method, ad-
mittedly Christian, must be acknow-
lodged as pure science by any one
who cares to look the matter square
ly in the face. Christian Science
therefore, is a name which, given to
this method, designates it accurately
and satisfactorily. Although science
has not been generally associated with
prayer, yet the way is always one OF
prayer, whereby mans unity with
God is declared and proven in the
degree of ones understanding.
In Christian Science many seemingly
contradictory statements of the Bible
are reconciled as the spiritual i'm
port of Them is more clearly dis
cerned Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary G.
Eddy, is a commentary on the Bible
and even more than a commentary,
for it gives the student the principle
and rule of the science which the
Bible indicates. The world has long
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-03-03

ed for a solution of the problems of
human existence. Their solution has
generally been deemed impossible.
and it has been thought that all the
questions which have troubled the
human heart could only be answered
by dying and going to some place
which was supposed to be heaven.
Christian Science declares that the
truth about heaven is disclosed in
the words of Jesus, "The kingdom of
heaven is at hand"
Christian Science declares that God
is good. His omnipotence, omnisci-
ence, and omnipresence, as Good, are
fixed facts verified by the universal
discernment and acknowledgment of
His infinite self-eXistence as Cause
and Creator. God being infinite
Good, evil can be no part of Him, and
therefore evil has no scientific origin
nor reality. To maintain these scien-
tltic facts, even though they appear
to be contrary to human experience,
is the way to improve human expert
ence. Such teaching enables one to
confront the problems of life with the
Science of Life-Christian Science
and to solve these problems step by
step.
Mrs. Eddy, as the discoverer and
founder of this Science, is a benefac-
tor to the human race. She has
maintained the fact that science is
purely spiritual in spite of all the
opposition of material theories con-
concerning both religion and science.
She has met all criticism in the way
that Jesus taught. She has practiced
the gospel which she teaches, the
gospel of Christ, the gospel of Love.
Standing alone through years of trial
and persecution, naturally of a mod
est, shrinking disposition, not desir-
ing the plaudits of the world, impell-
ed and supported by a power far be-
yond and above herself, Mrs. Eddy,
among women, is a figure unique in
history.
The present mission of Christian
Science is to bring about or restore
normal conditions of mind, body and
environment. Christian Science dis
closes the action of pure and noble
thought, not only upon what is called
the human mind but also upon the
human body. 1t gives us a never
failing test. 1t ever declares that
God is Mind, and that there is one
God, there is one Mind 1t teaches us
to measure every human impulse,
every thought, by this invariable
standard, and to ask ourselves con-
tinually, how does God, the one in
finite Mind, think about this or that.
In this way the day of judgment, as
our textbook says, comes hourly
and continually"

AMERICUS IS DIKED IN
THE ROBES OF SPRING
All Evidence of Winter is
Passed.

Spring, Gentle Annie, sprang upon
Americas yesterday with a gladstone
bounce that shook the overcoat from
its fastening and caused beads of pers-
plration to stand upon the brow of
the coal dealer like the oozing of a
street sprinkler
Upon every hand there was evil
dence of the fact that Spring had
come, and brought her knitting for a
long stay
Peach trees are blooming, the pear
trees about the city are~bursting into
snowbanks of whiteness, the willow
trees in the city park are robed in
green. Yea, verify, Spring hath
came"
But there are other evidences of
her coming, strong as proof of holy
writ, if more proof were needed.
The candidates swarmed with the
dawn, and with coats off they met
the able voter with a glad toot and
took him by the hand Then, too, the
flying ants, the surest harbingers of
Spring, swarmed yesterday with the
lark and the busy bee
And in the adjacent field the merry
plowman sang his lay and cussed at
the Georgia mule
Spring was at hand; of this fact
there was no doubt.
Down at the warehouse, where
statesmen are made and unmade and
politics are mixed up with cotton
and other topics, the boys had quit
the stove and were lined up at the
front. Fishing parties were made up,
and orders given for bait"
Already the ulster has been turned
over to uncle" for a small loan, and
the dust will be shaken from last
summers straw hat The shirtwaist
girl, that perennial darling of spring
time, is with us, and the old maids
are seeking cover
To the rear with Hoary Winter;
welcome to Gentle Spring.

COUNTY AND COUNCIL
TO HELP THE MILITARY
Another Fund is Contributed
A. L. l.

Again the city council and the
county commissioners have come to
the assistance of the Americus Light
Infantry, and by a small contribu-
ton each, have insured the maintain
ance of this command. The city
council appropriates $3.50, while the
county helps to like extent The ag-
gregate sum is sorely needed by the
soldier boys for the payment or ar
mory rental and other necessary ex-
penses, and comes at a time most op-
perfume. Sumter county has no bet
ter investment than this well discip
lined military company, which so Oft
en- in the past has stood as a bulwark
of strength in upholding the law, and
at times when the presence of guns
and strength were needed. The ac-
ton of each body in thus helping the
military will be heartily commended.

PEOPLE OUT OF WORK
AND LITTLE is DOING

Mr.. Cliff McElroy has come to AM
ericus his old home, to spend few
days with relatives and enjoy the gen.
ial sunshine of Gods own country.
Mr., McElroy is in the clothing manu-
featuring business in a West Vir-
ginia city, and says that the pinch of
the recent money stringency is sew
erely felt there. The principal source
of income is from the coal mining
business and manufacture of coke.
But there is nothing doing now. Fight
ing the railroads and corporate in
terests has resulted in loss of orders
and closing down of the mines, and
thousands of people are out of work
and with no source of income.

BUSINESS IS RAPIDLY
GROWING BETTER
Conditions Seen by Ameri-
Gus Men.

Mr.. R. e. Allison returned yester-
day from a business trip through
northern Georgia and Alabama
Il find business conditions in that
territory have very much improved
in the past ninety days." said Mr.
Allison. There was a decidedly
more buoyant tone to business, the
merchants spoke with more conf
dence as to the future, and there was
an air of resuming activity that was
quite agreeable. The general opin-
ion seemed to be that the cloud was
fast disappearing and that the spring
and summer would bring business
that would average we'll up to the
ordinary run"
