DAMNING INDICTMENT

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

MI HEN the historian of the future
wv reviews this age he will say 1t
was conspicuous not only for it's
materialism, in which it excelled all
ages of the world, but for it's spiritual
revival and its almost universal ac-
ceptance of the statement that there is
a spiritual law In the natural world.
The recognition of q spiritual law is re-
sponsible for Christian Science. We do
of Christian Science discovered this
law, for it was always in existence and
always recognized by a faithful few.
We do not say Christian Scien-
lists are right in all their methods,
or that it was necessary to establish a
separate church organization for the
PRONUNCIATION Of their doctrines. But
we do say that even the most hard
headed conservative cannot deny that
Christian Science has done much good
in the world. The motives OF its pro-
fessors are above reproach. They seek,
and by their actions show they seek,
the Improvement of mankind. socially,
physically, morally, spiritually. Their
philosophy of cheerfulness accomplishes
excellent results and the Bible is I'M
deniably the authority for the saying:
"A merry heart doeth good like medi-
cine" (for which, we must infer from
the Biblical statement, cheerfulness is
a substituted, and LAS a man thinketh
in his heart, so is he" By banishing
all kinds of fear, and especially fear of
sickness, Christian Science has sue
ceeded in helping poor, struggling men
and women who, like the characters in
the Pilgrims Progress" without as
sistance would soon be begged hope
lessly in the Slough of Despond. Like
Helpful in the old allegory, the encour-
aging philosophy called Christian Sci
ence extends a hand to assist the pill
grirns to firm ground. No fair-minded
observer can deny to Christian Science
the credit of having brought a new
glimpse of higher and better living Into
the world, like sunshine, at sordid
and stormy period of the worlds his
tory. We have no sympathy with peo-
pie who condemn without a hearing
any form of belief merely because 1t is
new to them. Christianity itself at its
beginning was criticised as harshly a:
Christian Science is today. Nay, more
to be a Christian was capital offense!
But neither the lash nor the lions
killed Christianity.

needs of the alleged lower animals

to that between some nations, renders
it necessary that cats be permitted

DRESS REFORM

ND now for dress reform. The
"A slogan has been sounded, and the
- onslaught will be made on attire
which is inconsistent with the simple
lie. We refer of course to the raiment
with which the representatives of the
superior sex adorn themselves. Dress
reform for mere men is not necessary.
that was necessary for the male repre-
sentatives of the English speaking
races. If they did not dispense with
fal-lals and furbelows. puff sleeves and
ruffs, the old reformer used an ak and
put the offender beyond reach of tall
ors' bills.
The Pilgrim Fathers when they
landed in America wore dress reform
suits of the Puritan pattern, the Sc
verify of which characterizes even
unto this day the clothes of the men
who use our language. But the Pilgrim
mothers had minds of their own on the
subject. and the art of simplicity was
not long a characteristic of dress in the
western hemisphere. From time to
time an attempt is made to reform wo-
mems attire. One of the big eastern
schools has forbidden it's students to
follow the fashions of the day. A New
York contemporary says: 1--WE sympa-
thize with the young ladies of the
Horace Mann school who are TO be de-
prived of the privilege of wearing
puffs, big hats, high heeled shoes and
spectacular waists until their education
is finished But after all, every girl
looks well in the students cap and
gown, and there are other compensa-
tions. We are passing through an era
OF extravagant styles in woman's dress,
and these young ladies will be glad to
remember, late in life, that they were
never SO vulgar as to wear Merry
Widow hats and Lolita Faust collars.
The news from Paris is that fashion,
able dresses are so tight as to cause
some alarm. A woman dressed in the
most approved style makes a trained
anatomist wonder what she has done
with large part of her material self.
From this we may conclude that Paris
has decreed a new torture for the
daughters of Eve. Tight dressing would
seem to be worse than tight lacing or
tight shoeing. It's evil effects are more
general, less local."
