of brooms and feather busters. He ex-

May Dismiss Matter.

It Is possible, TOO, members Of the
Senate think, that tie court viii, upon
mature consideration take the same
view which the Senate takes and Will
simply recede from SIS former action and
dismiss the whole matter.
The issue centers around the question
Of whether the Senate Printing Com
mittee is board OF citizens performing
an administrative act or whether il is a
group Of United States Senators en-
ga6ed IN carrying out specific duties as
signed 10 them by their colleagues. II
the former view Is taken. which was
that held by the court when the orig
ma order was issued, then the court is
not expected TO reverse its action and

buncle. how does he know that it was
a carbuncle? It will not do for him
to tell US that he saw it, or even felt
of it,
Claims 10 Heal the Same as Jesus
Heals
Now, every one who knows anything
about the miracles of healing perform
ed by Christ, knows that the claim is
false. We know that Christ and his
apostles cured instantaneously. Christ
touched Blind eyes and Immediately the
sight was restored; He touched the
leper, and Immediately the man was
made whole; He said to the one af-
flicted with palsy: "Arise, take up thy
bed and go into thine house." and the
man Immediately arose and went into
his house; He stood by the side of
grave and cried: Lazarus, come
FORTH and Immediately he that was
dead came forth. In every instance the
miracle was performed in such a way
as to leave no doubt in the minds of
those present that it was a miracle.
Now we know that Christian Science
does not heal instantaneously; we
know that its alleged cures are not
wrought in such a way as to convince
an intelligent and reasonable person
that there is anything supernatural
about them In other words, the alleg-
ed cures by Christian Science are utter
" lacking in the miraculous element
so conspicuous in the cures wrought
by Christ 1t should also be remember
ed that Christ did not ask or receive
or expect any remuneration for his
miracles of healing, nor did he inform
the poor sufferers that their chances
of recovery would be enhanced by the
payment of fees in advance.

And besides, how can we accept
healers diagnosis of a case when we
remember that he knows nothing OF
physiology, anatomy or bacteriology-
The average healer can't distinguish
between a case of indigestion and
well developed case of love sickness.

Judge a Christian Science healer tes-
titled under oath that she had learned
to be a healer after two weeks course
under Mrs Stetson. Now a reputable
physician must study four years in
medical school,N and serve if possible
two years in a hospital, before he is
deemed competent to begin practice,
and frequently he has four years of
college training before taking up the
study Of medicine, but a Christian
Science healer is a full-fledged practi
toner after d course Of eight lectures.
Now is il right that one who has not
studied anatomy, physiology or bac-
teriology. and is not able to name a
disease when he confronts it, should
be permitted to trifle with life and

course of eight lectures? When you
