negative, it teaches that the sufferings of poverty are erroneous-th is are violation of the spiritual laws of God s universe. But the entire teaching in Christian Science of the nothingness of material things the entire emphasis upon the necessity of seeking for spir- tual things ih order to reach the real ity, disprove the allegation of the critic.
 The writer says that Christian Sci ence bids man think always of his own worthiness and security" The meaning implied Is diametrically con trary to the fact Christian Science teaches, as no other denomination bearing the name of Christ has ever taught since the days of the first Chris tian church. the utter insecurity and mworthincss of that which we com monly recognize as man. But the true man. the spiritual reality of man, it shows to be inevitably worthy and safe. because if proves him to he the image and likeness of God, according to the record of creation in Genesis I. On this proof of the reality and integ- rity of man in his relation to God. rests the saving power of Christian Science.

an important subject. The so-called faith cure" may be practiced without flummery or hocuspocus.
 But the medical profession is not alone concerned. It is significant to find in the churches a growing inclin- aton to return to the apostolic cus- tom of healing the Sick by prayer. This. of course, is the meaning of the sacrament of unction. which has always been practiced in one form or another in the Catholic church. There is no office for its administration in the Book of Common Prayer. but the matter of providing one was brought up at the last General Convention of the Episcopal church. The present Roman Catholic ceremony dates back to the twelfth century. Meanwhile some individual experiments in faith cure have been made by various cler- gymen with success. Even those who scoff at the potency of prayer over dis ease must admit that belief in its eff cacy may be a factor in recovery as well as any other exercise of the mind.

another. this utter reliance upon the Scriptures.
 How. then. came she to find in them the truth which heals now as 1t did in the days of Jesus? The answer Is so simple that many lose sight of 1t Tn their effort to find something abstruse Revelation opened the Bible to her. a revelation which no one else in this age possessed before she made 1t known as the point of her own experl- ence. Now .ievelation Is neither more nor less than the growth of spiritual understanding unfolding of things once unknown Thus at one and the same time, Science and Health Is based upon tho Bible and is a revelation. Beyond question. such revelation could come only to one who was pure enough and noble and honest enough to put aside her own personal opinions that she might receive if.
 A few woris will suffice to answer. for those who desire an answer, the statement that Jesus did not perceive the nothingness of matter in the very sense in which that phrase is used in Christian Science For if must be borne in mind, that the word nothing ness is used in Christian Science to de- signate that which has no place in the eternal principle of being, that which falls short of the truth of the essential and ultimate reality. Jesus said: Tt is the spirit that quiekeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing" John 6:03). Not only did he say this. but he proved if. as Christian Scientists. in the degree of their understanding, are proving it to-day.

One of the collateral results of the

 Christian healing There can be no doubt of the powerful effect of the mind upon the body. Physicians re cognized it long before the author of Science and Health" propounded her half-baked theories to credulous world Possibly they did not give it due importance; it has often been said that the medical profession promotes materialism. But what was true in Mrs. Eddy's argument was not new. and what was new was not true.

 Having thus proved himself more than equal to the occasion William Jennings Bryan stepped forth into the light, and while the general public was wondering what had become of that deep laid plan to call off the Nebras- kan, the self-appolnted band of saviors slunk back to the senate corridors of the capitol, and administered to each other several good kicks for allowing themselves to be outdone by the smoot h silver men.
 The plan was to get MT Bryan at the now famous alphabetical dinner at Senator Newland's house Onc-half of the democratic senators attended one dinner, and the other half the following night. The senators had girded them- selves up to the point where it seemed as though it woud be all over with William when they got through with him, but somehow or other that well laid plan fell through with a siebeuiug thud, and now there are a lot of men up at the capitol who are asking who the fool was that queered if.

Editor The Morning Journal-Courirr:
 In your issue of January g, you quote from an article'm Mrclurc's re- iating to Christian science. The arti- cle is obviously instigated by de- termination to make jest of Christian Science; and where it makes any at tempt at reason. if is an example of the kind of criticism which, to quote from Mrs. Eddy. in Science and Health tpg. 3AD is based on detached sen. tenees or clauscs. separated from their context"

the third term talk for Roosevelt. ridio-, ulous as it may appear after the oft repeated and emphatic statements that such thing Is out of the question. This rumor, however seems to have had it's origin with a small band of Roosevelt-Taft men, who feel that if the field should combine against Taft. and cause a deadlock the president should step in at their behest. Such thing, however, seems utterly impos- sible.
 That there is an undercurrent of sympathy among the candidates other than MT. Taft, against the presidents choice, Is obvious enough to those who have followed their doings and the ex> pression of sentiment. One and all of them rejoiced when they saw the New York republicans pledge their support of the "favorite son. of the Empire state, Governor Hughes
 But this tendency to draw together this undercurrent of sympathy, bodes only good for the Taft cause, it is said by old timers wise in the ways of pres idential campaigns. It is an admis- sion that each and all of them recog- ni2e Taft as the candidate with the best chance of landing the plum in June. This cannot last; there are too many individual ambitions in 1t for it to remain long collective menace to the Taft chances. And when this little group of individual ambitions now clinging together for mutual strength begins to disintergrate. some of them are going to fall by the wayside, never to arise, and Mir Taft will loom larger than ever.
 The talk of Senator W. Murray ministration candidate for vice presi- dent, which proposition was sprung a few days ago, is not taken seriously by intimates of the man from the Bay state. MT Crane is understood to have a very high regard for the secretary oi war, but he will accept second place on the ticket with nobody Not that he aspires to the White House himself. all though he might with as much chance of success as some others, but he is the sort of man who fights shy of a second place job. Then, too, 1t will be recalled that some time ago he and the senior senator from his state. Hen " Cabor Lodge. had a falling out over the same matter Lodge is an ardent Taft supporter, but w.
