STABLE VERMONT.

The census figures for Vermont show

the Vermont newspapers seemed ready
to credit rum0rs III circulation 4 month

would be disclosed. But the Census Blu
reau reports that the number of inhab-
itants in 1910 is s55,956-a gain Of

FAITH IN MIRACLES.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribune Of this morning ]
find publication Of a letter from Mr.. Bolton
Hall to the Synod OF New York. In this
communication Nj. Hall. while indicating
most clearly that he has the welfare Of his
fellow men at heart, shows also that ne
has not given to every statement he makes
that careful consideration one is led 10 ex-
pect from a lawyer, for he makes reference
to "heretical bodies like the Christian
Scientists, who deny the miracles"
II is somewhat surprising that MI Hall
should have fallen into the too common
error OF making positive assertions without
due familiarity with the facts It is not
beyond the scope Of historical remembrance
since AIr. Halls own faith was branded as
hereticaI by the orthodoxy Of Rome and
England. According to the dictionary
heresy II AN error or opinion respecting
some fundamental doctrine of religion. "
and IN the light Of that definition Mr.. Hall
will. I am sure have some conscientious
difficulty in applying the term when he
makes himself familiar with the tenets OF
the Christian Science Church
As to the question Of q denial OF the
miracles, there may he some question, de-
pendent upon an exact definition OF tins
word If b. niracls Is meant positive
violation of an established natural law
then Christian Science does deny the mira
cles, ", rather. that Interpretation OF
them. Y. on the other hand miracle is "a
be defined as "a wonder" in accordance
with its meaning IN the original Greek. then
Christian Science does not deny the mira
cles. Upon this point Mrs. Mary Baker
EDDY has expressed herself on Page II OF
the preface 20 Science and Health" the
Christian Science textbook: Nov as then
these mighty works are not supernatural
but supremeIy natural To Christian
Scientists miracle Is z natural marvel
and 10 quote Huxley along this line. If Z
thing has ever happened it happened In &C
cordance with some law or principIe-even
IL unknown or misundersIOod-and can
happen again"
Thus Christian Scientists do not deny the
miracles If by those miracles are meant
such marvels as the raising of Lazarus
from the dead or the healing of the sick
but. on the contrary. they are daily PROV
ing in many hundreds Of instances that
these wonders are indeed not supernatural
and far of, but supremely natural. and the
result Of d divine influence ever present
ia human consciousness" Ibid, Pref, KID.
For Mr. Halls somewhat grudging dec
laration that the Christian Science Church
is growing rapidly all Christian Scientists
will thank him for his truth. and for his
enlightenment II may be stated that there
IS a new Christian Science church being
formed somewhere on the habitable globe
