The Christian Scientists Side.

MarshalltoWn, Iowa, March 25 1909
Editor, Times-Republican, Marshall
town, Iowa.
Dear Sir:-In your issue of March
9Th WEI find an extract from sermon
by Bishop Brewster under caption
Healing and Christian Science" This
good bishop like many other church
men regards Christian Science from
the view point of the particular creed
to which he adheres. He states of
Christian Science, DOUBTLESS certain
of it's affirmations are true. It's error
lies in It's negations, for example; its
denial of the virtue of the sacrament,
of the benefits of medicines and the
like denials.'
1t might be we'll to state that Chris
tian Scientists are mainly people who
have run the gamut of medical ex-
perience but without avail so far as
healing is concerned. AS individuals
they firmly believed in the efficacy Of
medicines until thru bitter experience
they learned that medicines at least
did not heal in their particular cases.
They, however, do not attempt to in
any way interfere with those who still
have confidence in drugs. So far as the
denial of the virtue Of the sacraments
is concerned this is strictly theolog
ical point and there are as many diff
ferences of opinion as to which sacra-
ments are necessary and efficacious
and in what way their efficacy can
best be brought out, as there are re-
ligious denominations. Suffice 1T to

HORSES VS.. AUTOMOBILES.

Let not the horse breeders hearts
of their industry or THE abolition of
the horse as a motive power. The
horse seems to be doing very well
thank you Also the automobile II the
figures were at hand would have a
pleasing record to show But the horse
is still in the ring and not even slightly
disfigured.
The number of horses in the I'm
tied States Jan. /, 1908, was 19,992,000
and they were worth a total of $780,
$4,000, CIR an average of $9341 each.
During the succeeding year, ended Jan.
/. 1909 the number of horses had in
creased to 22.640,000: their value had
advanced more than 100,000,0O0 tothe
sum of s1,974,052, 900, and the aver
age price was $9564. or 1923 more
than the previous year. The average
price of horses thruout the United
States for the ten years previous to
1908 was s60.25 per head, which shows
that they are worth an average of
sS5.40 more. During the calendar year
1907 the horses increased 245,000 in
number and s2O,952,0Oo in value. Dur
ing the calendar year 1908 they in
creased $4,000 in number and 1885,
$4,000 in value.
The same can be said of mules.
There are now in this country 4,s53.000
mules, which abe valued at$437 ,082,-
900, or an average of s107.S4 per head;
that is about 1925 more per mule
than horses are worth. This is an in
crease of $4,000 mules during the year
1908, s2O,143.0OO in value and 8 cents
per head.

as good reading as a pleasing balance

say that Christian Scientists heartily
concur in, accept and emphasize every
essential and Fundamental teaching OF
the Christian religion as they under
stand it,
To state that christian Science ar
rays itself against the Church of
Christ and is to take q somewhat
narrow view. If some individual con-
ceives that his particular views of
Christianity constitute the Church of
Christ then to his sense of things the
statement may be true, but the fact
remains that "the Church of Christ"
is broader than any creed or dogma
and is not limited by man made or
humanity circumscribed concepts of re-
ligion. Christian Science embodias
and includes all that constitutes es-
sental Christianity. 1T does not deny
the sick the consolation which may
be given thru holy uplifting thought.
The effort is to arouse the sick per-
son from the belief that he has to die.
to the certainty that life is eternal
and infinite and that God is everpresent
and always available, and that as the
scriptures state: He healeth all thy
diseases
Our critic states: yet strange TO
say some of the church's children in
Guiding in one instance a parish war
den have been by this delusion induced
to leave the church and her sacra-
ment." 1t is seldom that one will leave
that which is entirely satisfactory by
way of results, spiritually, morally and
physically for "delusion," therefore 1t
is inconsistent, illogical and unreason
able to term "delusion" that which
accomplishes as satisfactory and per-
manent results in thousands of cases
as does the Christian Science re-
ligion. Respectfully, First Church of
Christ Scientist.

asusIE y GLAsPEL,s NOVEL.

Susan Heating .Glaspell, an Iowa
woman, has written a real novel,
made a story of human life, and its
troubled currents that analyses, with
out firing, attracts without shocking
and interests and holds us because it
is life lived and enjoyed and endured.
OF the fiction contributed to the book
shelves by Iowa authors hers seems
ten and her first and successful effort
gives the strongest promise of much
better and stronger to come. "The
Glory Of the Conquered" places Miss
Glaspell on perfect equality with the
two or three Iowa writers of fiction

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR IOWA CITIES.

Not very long ago a northern Iowa
of the state thru the Times Republic
an for the preservation and beautify-
ing of the remaining Iowa lakes. He
would make them beauty spots and
open to the general public as resorts
for campers, picnickers and tired men
and women seeking recuperation in the
open and by the waters. 1t was and re-
mains an excellent suggestion. What
lakes We retain should add more to the
beauty of Iowa than to the aggregate
number of bushels of the corn crop.
But none plead for the rivers. Cities
befoul them with unspeakably offensive
refuse and poison them 'thruout their
length with the germs of disease and
fatal epidemics Few cities in the state
have taken the least advantage of the
possibilities of beauty afforded by a
water front. On the contrary the junk
dealer holds sway and the rags of the
city accumulate at it's riverside.
the most beautiful water front of any
city of its size, in the United States.
1t is not great city. Its population by
the last general census was about 20,-
600. But it is beautiful with the charm
and magnidcence of location and with
the ordered attention that has been
given to it's natural beauties None go
up and down the river by rail or water
who fail to see and remark upon the
cleanliness and extreme beauty of Wi
nona's water front set beside the
mighty river bordered by the noun
famous bluffs that melt into the blue
distances up and down the long reaches
of the stream The waves wash up on
paving that extends beneath them,
along the riverside an artistic stone wa
ter wall borders the paved drive be-
kept park of perhaps $50 feet stretches
its green carpet and is ,bordered by a
colorado of living green vines covered
with foliage thick enough to shed an
ordinary shower. Here and there are
comfortable seats. Back of the river
park sits the city under magnificent
bluff that beetles above it. A little lake
lies close beside the city and a paved
drive borders the entire circumference
of the lake. Winona is beautiful be-
cause her citizens have made her so
and noticeable because she is beauti-
full.
Winona is only an incident and an
object lesson. All cities have not her
natural opportunities. However few
cities take advantage of what they
have. If every city in this state be-
side river or lake should voice its
gratitude for its location as Winona
has expressed hers the cities of this
state would be famous around the
world Let's stop using our little riv-
srs as sewers and draining the lakes
which are our beauty spots and use
them as the Creator intended.

NIGHT GET TOO HARD.

The Iowa senate last week passed a
bill designed ito stop raffles and grab
bags at church fairs. AS most churches
relegated such methods of raising
money to ancient history long ago, few
communities will be affected. The
state already has laws covering the
ground. What is needed now is some
provision for enforcing these laws.
What is everybody's business is no.
body's business. 1t is time to stop
making fool laws and enforce what we
have. If all the regulative and pro-
hibitory laws the state now has were
obeyed the state would be such a good
place that a whole lot of people would
move out.

WIDE OPEN POLICY PARTIAL.

lOIIuIIlWd COuFleF.l
Every wide open town administra-
ton has special favorites in certain
lines of business which it allows to do
things that it will not allow others to
do.
There never was a wide open town
administration that gave everybody,
.eN en- those on its own side, square
deal. Some one or two or three men
and women are allowed more liberties
til an some others in the same lines OF
questionable business. The favorites
never have to pay as much as the 9TH
ers.
Under the wide open town policy
Some saloonkeepers who want to vio-
lstc the law are given more leeway
tran others. This is not square deal
arc it never can be, because the liber-
ties allowed by a city administration
to the favorites consist in the privilege
of law violation.

KEEP TALKING IOWA.


1t Is worth while to repeatedly call
the attention of many Iowa people to
the desirability of investing in Iowa
enterprises. including iowa farm land.
The average person when he figures
on doubling his money in a decade
turns his thoughts at once to some new
country, where he imagines all invest
ments are sure to Increase many fold

the past ten, years, and il he did he
