THE PUTNAM PATRlol November so 1909
About Christian Scieuce.

EDITOR PUTNAM PATRIoF,-T There appeared in your paper, under date of November I2, 1908, the statement as follows:
 ''Chrislian Scientists have had s rue. ton which exposes their system to just criticism.
 Kindly permit me le suggest that 1t is surely appreciated that what is ctit- eised Is not Christian Science al all but rather lack Of Christian ScIeace. The inquiry which is betng conducted sho@s oeneiasively shat the system ? referred to k the result of false teach ing and k not in accord with the prin- eiPse of Christian Science. This ac- counts for the action taken by the Board of Directors of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachu- setis, to eliminate this abnormal con- dition, which hss no just claim to the right to be elassed as Christian Sci ence. Thanking you for this courtesy, l am, Yours sincerely,
 GEoRGE A. LAW, Christian Science Committee on Pub
 lication fer the State of Connecticut.
 We are not disposed to find fault with the way the courteous writer of the above defends Christian Science from being .'exposedn to criticism. If lady member, endowed not only with authority from the Mother Church of Boston 10 be the leader of one Of the leading churches of the ofganixatsen, and acknowledged her as possessing the Principle or Power claimed for Christian Science, and then punishes her for using that Power for evil puT- poses, IL indicates. apparently, some ! thing wrong with the system, Us We regard it. It is a dangerous thing to endow persons with power fearful for both good and evil, and when they be gin 10 employ their power for malig. nant purposes, to disewn them as false teachers, is not enough to exempt the system from being exposed 10 eriti. cism.
 Wehaye been charmed with the truly sweet, Christian spirit of all the mem. bers of Christian Science with whom we have become acquainted and which has been exempliiied in the public and private life of it's remarkable Leader and can but feel regret al the manifes .l. large church in New York.

THE MINING CONGRESS
 FINISHES ITS WORK
DECLARATION AGAINST WILDCAT
 COMPANIES.
The Protection of Water Power Sites
 In the West Urged

Goldgield, Nev., Oct. 2.-The Aneri- can mining congress closed the twelfth session here at noon today. after adopting a resolution calling upon the national government to legislate against perpetual franchises for water power or water rights in the western states and urging that similar state legislation be passed without waiting for congressional acticn.
 The apex law, under which the dis cOverer of a mineral lode or vein can follow it outside the lines of his claim was another object of discussion, and its repeal with the substitution of a law making the side lines of a claim its limits when continued downward yer tically. was urged.
 Wildcat miping schemes were placed under the ban by the congress which urged state and national legislation to prevent the operation of such schemes that might otherwise be used in de- veloping legitimate properties.
 J. H. Richards, of Boise, Idaho, the retiring president of the congress, was given a handsome silver service by the delegates. Los Angeles ard Spo- kane have developed a lively rivalry for the next session of the congress. The question will be decided by the ex- ecutive committee.
