WHITING LID IS
PRED OFF YESTERDAY

FOR sALE-A Sunday lid, as good
as new. Used only a short time.
Reason for selling Is because 1T does
mot ut. Apply,
THE WHITING SALOONKEEPERS
ASSOCIATION.
The lid has been found to be too
tight in Whiting and early yesterday
morning 1t was discarded by most of
the saloonkeepers. Most of them were
IN favor OF storing 1t in the garrett but
after more mature deliberations 1t
was thought best to rid the town OF it
entirely and so be out of danger of
having 1t hauled down again.
The lid is not wanted in Whiting and
the saloonkeepers are ready to prove
1t with a test case. Whether one will
be made is a question today since no
arrests have been made and Mayor
Smith is in LaPorte on legal business.
Should test case be made. however.
the association will in all probability
ask for Jury trial.
Only few saloons kept their
doors closed yesterday.

LARGE CROWD At
SCIENCE LECTURE"
Bliss Knapp Of Boston Ad-
dresses Gathering of
500 Persons.
CHRISTIANITY HIGHEST FORM
Healing as Practiced By His Cult Re-
moves Cause Instead of Eff
feet Says He.

The principles of Christian Science
were explained at a public meeting for
the first time in Hammond yesterday,
when Mr.. Bliss Knapp of Boston ad-
dressed a meeting gathered in Masonic
hall
1t was large meeting, attended by
most of the best people of Hammond
and the speaker was listened to with
eagerness from three O'Clock, when he
began until twenty minutes after four
There were nearly 500 people present
A program of cello music with piano
accompaniment was given by two Chi
cago ladies. they playing three num-
bers. The musicians were Miss Eliza
beth Pickens and Mrs Farling At
promptly three o'clock Mr.. Bliss step
ped on the platform and was intro
duced by Captain ]. c. Downing, one
OF the local directors in the church.
Mr.. Bliss without many preliminaries
went into his subject. taking it for
granted that his audience had heard
enough Christian Science to be reason
ably well acquainted with the subject.
Talk is ImpersonaI.
There was no personality in his ad-
dress, other religious denominations
preston was voiced that Christian Sci
ence is the highest form of Chris
tianity.
He took issue however, with gener-
ally accepted theories, as expounded by
the medical profession, much of his
address being devoted to this phase.
There was no arrangement. however,
on his part, merely an argument pro
oh
Christian Science healing.
Having cited examples to prove that
the mind controls the body, even to the
extent of regulating the digestive sys-
tenn and the circulation he said that
the great difference between the med
ical profession and the Christian Sci
medical profession removes the effect
while Christian Science removes the
cause.
Christian Science heals mentally as
well as physically" said Mr.. Bliss and
doctors are beginning to recognize this,
but they do not want TO admit 1t.
term therapeutic suggestions, which is
nothing more than hypnotism and mes
merism."
No Hypnotssm in Science.
Mr. Knapp said that there is nothing
of the Christian spirit in hynotism OF
mesmerism, and that it might be re-
sorted to by heather or a pagan.
Quoting from the Bible he showed
that Jesus Christ never resorted tC
hypnotism and that he healed in the
name of his Father.
Christian Science" said Mr.. Bills:
in closing. must be studied from 6
spiritual standpoint and that is the
reason it is often SO hard for an adult
to embrace Christian Science because
he would look at it from materia
standpoint"
Mr. Knapp is a member of the Chri
tan Science board of lecturship of the
First Church of Christ of Boston, Mass
He went to Terre Haute last evening
and will be in Chicago again by th'
close of the week.

TAKES ANOTHER FALL
OUT OF SCIENCE
Rev. w. F. SWitzer breaches
Second Sermon Against
Modern Cult.
MAKES REPLY TO EASTERDAY
Likens Mrs. Eddy's Doctrines to
Moorish Palace of Worlds
Fair Fame.

Rev. William F. Switzer, of the local
Methodist church, took another fall
out of Christian Science in sermon
last evening in which his most start
ling statement was Should Christian
Science be followed generally it would
undermine the morals of the entire
race
This statement followed a demon
stration of the fact that Christian Sci
entists deny the reality of sin. If
they deny the realty of SIM" said Rev
Switzer," they need no longer fear
sin or the result of sin and the outcome
would be the destruction of the NOR
ais of the community"
Rev. Switzer told of receiving a tele-
phone message from z. Stanhope East
erday of Indianapolis, who accused him
of making misleading statements re-
garding the teachings of Christian Sci
ence and misquoting Science and Health
the Christian Scientists rule and guide
to faith.
Relied ON J. Nj. Buckley.
Rev. Switzer said he had relied on
James M. Buckleys quotations from
Science and Health and that he re-
garded Buckley as a man who was
so careful and painstaking in his work
that he was not likely to fall into error
in making quotations of such an i'm
portant nature. In addition to that
Rev. Switzer said he had a copy of a
revised edition of Science and Health
and that the quotations were found in
that.
The quotations in question We're those
used by DR.. Switzer to show that the
adherents to this faith denied the per-
sonality of God. He rediculed the
statement that Science and Health is
the Holy Spirit and after showing
that there had been several revisions
of this text beck, he asked Why
should the Holy Spirit undergo re-
Ivision?"
HE said christian Science is ut
terly bewildering. 1t reminds me OF
the Moorish palace at the Worlds Fair
in Chicago. You get into it and you
think you see your way out but you
only find that you are up against 8
mirror which only looked like a door
He disputed the statement of Mr.:
Eddy that you can get no reliable in
formation from the senses. He asked
! If man had his arm cut off, If his
senses would not be pretty reliable in
informing him that he no longer pos.
sessed that member.
He said the religion contained 6
strange mixture or reason and unreasor
and he pointed to the Christian Sci
entiist's own belief as accepted in Sci
ence and Health that Illogical reason
ing leads to practical error"

Fifty Candy Kids

Fifty Hammond business men went
to their homes last Saturday evening
with boxes of candy under their arms.
Fifty men adjusted their halos as they
entered the house and smiled that
sanity smile which is always inter-
preted by the Knowing housewife as,
I've got something for you"
Possible ten of those fifty wives who
were greeted by their fifty, several hus-
bands with fifty several boxes of candy
under their arms has not seen that
smile in long time and wondered at it.
It is even possible that one of those
fifty husbands had not taken his wife
a box of candy in so long that she had
actually forgotten when the last box
was received.
But the phenomenon is not explained
by wave of good fellowship which.
seems to be spreading over the City of
Hammond. There has been no rabid
ranting evangelist going about preach
ing to the business men the gospel of
being good to their wives. For the
information of those trusting house,
wives it would be we'll for them to
know how their husbands happened to
get that box of candy.
There was a sale of sweets at a local
III uS SlOI6 LII L. OQdTT6T was
tricked into buying a box at the spec
ial sale price of SO cents. He was
willing to be the goat, but he wanted
to have some fun of it and so when
Architect Hutton came into the store
he was also compelled to buy.
The two men then roped in DR.. Ober-
lin and from that time on these men
formed themselves into vigilance COM
mittee organized for the sole purpose
of inducing men to remember their
wives with a box of candy.
Every man who bought sat around
and watched the fun until the drug
store was crowded. Victims were even
picked up on the street and forced into
the store and gently, but firmly, ques-
toned to loosen up.
It was not long before the supply
Of candy was exhausted and then the
rough housers" broke up their Bttle
party and went home, all of them with
one pound box of candy under their
! arms. The only ones to escape from
the clutches of the crowd were Red"
Noonon and Wilbur Wall.
1t is easier now to understand why
there were so many, How thoughtful
of you dear last Saturday night.

sons and daughter of God-as actual

ST. PAUL's LUTHERAN CHURCH.

In the morning, Rev. Claus spoke
from the gospel of st. John, tenth
chapter. eleventh to sixteenth verses.
His subject was Christ the Good
Shepherd" The speaker showed how
Christ had been predicted in the old
testament to come in the guise of a
shepherd and how he had fulfilled this
prophecy. He was shepherd through
out in his three-fold capacity of priest,
prophet and king. AS priest he laid
down his life for the sheep. as prophet
he called the sheep to the fold, and as
king he protected his flock. As the
second part to the sermon the speaker
told what the sheep should do in pay
nient for all the Shepherd has done for
them. How they should follow his
word and abide by him faithfully
throughout their lives.
In the evening the subject was
Christ in the state of Exaltation."

CHURCH SERVICES



Rev. F. M. Elliott preached an elo-
quent and able sermon yesterday from
the first twenty verses of the twenty
third chapter of Ezekial. HIS subject
was Personal Responsibility and Ac-
counting to God"
The chapter embraces the theories
of doctrine and duty. but Rev. Elliott
devoted his sermon to taking up the
theory of duty. He spoke of the dan
ger in men presuming on the fact that
they lived good lives morally would
not indemnify them against condem-
nation unless pursued to the end If
man who had once been good, turned
from the path of righteousness, he
would have to pay for his transgres-
sions. On the other hand the wicked
need not be discouraged. for just SO
sure as the back-slider would be pun
ished, as sure the reclaimed sinner be
rewarded
When the Scientists would use sci
ence in dethroning a personal God we
might well ponder the speaker said, on
the danger of our souls He pointed
out the literary tendency of the age as
menace to mems souls for the in
fidel world has made use of this in
strument in poisoning the minds of
the world and distorting the truth The
cutting out from the school books all
Christian thought and reverence on the
grounds that it smacks of denomina-
tionalism, the speaker said was merely
an attempt to undermine Christianity
To do away with Christ as a Savior.

ST. PAUL,s EPISCOPAL. CHURCH.

Rev c. A. Smith of St. Paul's Epis-
c9pal church presented his annual re-
port to the congregation Of his church
yesterday. The review of the years
work occupied a considerable portion
of the morning session of the church
1t has been Rev. Smiths custom for
the past eight years during which he
has been rector of st. Pauls TO present
this annual report in which it is his
practice. not only to review the. prog
ress that has been made but to make
recommendation for the future The
report showed a great increase over
last year in every department. The
church was never in such a fiourishing
condition both financially and other
wise as at present. In view Of this
fact Rev. Smith has laid plans for en-
larging the scope of the church work,
and advanced ideas which If carried
out will mean an outlay Of $500 or
5000 more this year than has ever been
| spent in the past
| The present communicate list shows
an enrolment of l66.
| Some of the recommendations for the
future which Rev. Smith presented will
be taken up most likely at the vestry
meeting which will be held Wednes-
day night.
