themselves to Christ in public con-
fession Of their faith in Him before
men When the Great Teacher was
upon the earth He said Verify I say
unto you. except you turn and become
as little children We shall not enter
into the kingdom of Heaven And
again. Suffer the little children. and
forbid them not to come unto me, for
of such is the Kingdom of Heaven
The taIlest and oldest man IN this
town, if he desires to enter the king
dom Of heaven, must become like the
little child in humility, in simplicity
and in faith. While our children are
young is the time to lead them into
the kingdom. Before they have been
led astray by the evil one.
Then, too. the young owe duty 70
themselves. 1t is their duty, when
properly taught. to act for themselves
in matters of morals and religion
Remember now thy Creator IN the
days of thy youth The obligation TO
obey Christ, young man or woman, IS
just as weighty as it will be when you
are older grown. It is often dangerous
to defer till tomorrow what we ought
to do today. By pOstponing our &C
ceptance Of the gospel invitation our
hearts become hardened and our sal
walton is rendered exceedingly difi-
cult and uncertain. 'Procrastination 3
the thief of time Yield yourself at
once to Jesus and accept Him as your
Soviour Your duty to Him is first,
highest and most imperative. Ali
other duties are of trivial importance,
when compared with this, the highest
of all duties"

CORRECTS ERROR AS
TO CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
George Shaw Cook of Chicago Re
plies to Reference by Local
Minister.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Editor The Rock
Island Argus: Your issue of Nov. p
contained extracts from 4 sermon by
DR.. R. B. Williams in which he is re-
ported to have said, zone of the
Christian Science ministers while say
ing this Chat death is error in one
Of his talks fell dead" This statement
is doubtless based upon a recent press
dispatch regarding the death in Santa
Cruz, Cal, of one said to have been
a Christian Science lecturer. The
press report was incorrect The man
referred to was not a Christian Sci
ence lecturer nor even a Christian
Scientist. He was a spiritualist and
was addressing an audience of spir-
itualists at the time mentioned
Mr. Williams is wrong in his as
sumption regarding the teaching Of
Christian Science concerning the ma
ture Of sin, disease and death. 1t
teaches that these evils are not the
result or effect of divine intelligence
or the mind which is God, infinite
good, and therefore that they are not
real in the best sense of that word.
It admits, however, that in the expert
ence OF .nortals these evils exist and
that to the mortal or human sense
they seem to be very real and very dis
tressing. What Christian Science
does teach is that all evil is destructi-
BILE and in that sense unreal.
Christian Science practice is demon
strating the truth of this teaching by
removing evil to a considerable extent
from the experience of thousands upon
thousands here and now. Very truly
Yours. GEORGE SHAW COOK.
