that no material means need be used

YULE TIDE IN OLD.
ENGLAND
Merry Occasion in All Glass
es of Life-King Limited
by Mourning Etiquette.

London, Dec. 21.-The old-fash-
Toned style of celebrating Christmas,
with the blazing of Yule log in the
fireplace, the merry family seated
around the festive board, which is
groaning under its load of choice
| viands, including such delicacies as
boar's head, venisOn and plum
pudding, is thing of the past so
far as London is concerned. 1t may
still survive in the households of
well-to-do gentlemen, conservative
enough to preserve ancient tradi-
tons, but in London the custom has
died out. The rich leave their town
houses and take their families to
some fashionable seaside resort,
where they spend the holidays amid
the discomforts of crowded hotel
life, and the poor stay at home and
enjoy their holidays according to
their means and taste; but there are
10 yule logs nor any of the famed
accessories of an old-time Yule tide
celebration.
The ROYAL household. still in
mourning for the late King Edward.
will spend the holidays in a compar-
atively quiet manner. The King and
the Queen and the members of the
royal family will celebrate Christ
mas zen famille" at York Cottage,
their charming estate in Norfolk.
Although quietly and unostentau~
Ously, elaborate preparations nave
been made for the Yule tide celebra-
ton. There will be plenty of good
things for the table, including boar S
head and cygnet and liberal sup
ply of plum pudding, made in accord
ance with the famous recipe, pre-
served in the royal family for more
than a century. There will be pres
ents for all members of the family
family gathering around the
Christmas trees in the hall and
distribution of presents TO the re-
tainers of the Kings estate.
King Edward loved to have
number of intimate friends with him
at the Yuletide season and invariably
had large house party at Saniring-
ham at that time. but King George,
limited by the rules of mourning
etiquette, will forego the pleasures
of a gathering of congenial friends
this Christmas, whatever he may
choose to do in the future.
Christmas trade was not quite so
brisk as last year, owing to the un-
settled condition of things caused by
the excitement of the political cam
paign and the industrial strikes and
disturbances which have cOnSldera-
bly, reduced the purchasing power OF
the poorer working classes. The de-
mand for toys and other holiday
goods of a cheaper grade has been
| larger in comparison than for some
! holiday season past.

ANSWERS MIR. KRAFT
DIR. GrOsvenor Furnishes Another
Chapter in Christian Science
Controversy.

To the Editor of the Daily World.
Mr.. Kraft, in his answer to my let
ter in which | set forth old San.ue.
Johnson's common sense method OF
refuting Berkeley's absurd theory Of
the non-eXistence of a material world,
instead of pointing out wherein The
method fails, jrags us off into the
realm of metaphysics.
Now this realm of metaphysics is
the realm of unverifiable hypothesis
Its doctrines transcend all human eX-
perience. 1t is the paradise of those
who think they think, Of those who
have mental kinks.
A metaphysician is one who thinks
he thinks. He is never bothered by
facts nor by experience His theo-
ries are SO because they are so. He
delights to juggle with words Whe-
they they have a meaning or not is
nothing to him. His head is in the
fog, and his feet never touch the
good sound old earth. Hence he
never stubs his toes on the stones
of fact. Indeed, for him there is
no such thing as a stone, or if per-
chance for the moment he forgets
himself and lets down bit and
barks his shin on one, he whistles
serenely and passes on saying, No
matter. there is no stone; | have no
shin; hence there is no bark; all is
mind" Abe Martin says: The
business is you have to keep whistl-
in all the time
TO person of common sense there
is a stone. You may juggle words
and call it, as Nj. Kraft would, IAN
objectified sense perception" (what-
ever that isl. "a thing of thought

tation" (Science and Health, page
46S), an ''ion," a point Of energy"
or what not. 1t is stone just the
same, and when he stubs his toe on
1t, he has proof of it's reality. Old
Samuel Johnson was not meta
physician. Berkeley was.
The world moves on in spite of
metaphysics and not because of it.
No metaphysician ever advanced the
standard of thought, except in so far
as his vagaries have shown sound
thinkers what to avoid. Mrs. Eddy
was metaphysician, a pseudo SCI
enlist. In her book "Retrospection
and Introspection" she says of her
system of healing: 1T is more ef-
fectual than drugs, and cures where
they fail or only relieve, thus prov
ing the superiority of metaphysics
over physics"
Her system is metaphysical and as
such is one of the blackflows in the
stream of progress, and eddy if you
please. If an eddy flows swiftly
enough, it is a whirlpool. To be
caught in a whirlpool is to be de-
stroyed.
But leaving this delusion of the
non-existence of matter, which is
innocent enough, let us look at an
other that is not innocent and that
is fraught with the greatest danger
TO the one who harbOrs it and to
those who do not. 1t is the delusion
that there is no such thing as dis
ease. Grant that there is no such
easy to believe that there is no such
thing as disease. Granting that
there is no such thing as disease it
is easy to so farther in absurdity and
believe that material means, medi-
cines. etc, should not be used in
combating disease. Mrs. Eddy in the
book referred to above claims that
her system of healing does away with
all material medicines.
Now let us see how this belief
works harm to the Christian Scent
list. Cancer is one of the most hor-
rible diseases that humanity is af-
ficted with. The only remedy that
we have now is the surgeons knife,
and it must be used early or there is
no hope for the sufferer. Now if the
patient is under the delusion that
there is no such thing as disease. and
relies only on Christian Science, he
loses the only chance he has. An
early operation may save him, delay
means death. A little child is suf-
fcring from laryngeal diphtheria. The
malignant membrane is swiftly shut
ting off the air from the lungs. The
child struggles for breath. His face
is blue. Death is imminent. There
is hope in the use of antitoxin or that
failing in intubation or tracheotomy.
Delay here is death. If the parent
holds to the delusion that there is
no such thing as diphtheria. and that
Christian Science is enough, he
throws away the only chance his
child has, and he is confronted with

C|IyS STAND IS
BLOCK TO PENNoY
STATION CHANGE
Municipality and Railroad Dead
Locked Over Mechanic
Street Opening.

It was made apparent at the meeting
Of the Board Of Works yesterday that
unless the city mobiles its stand rela-
tive to the opening of Mechanic street
or the Pennsylvania railroad comedies
the boards claims, the long-contem-
plated Market street station improve
ments will be abandoned.
superintendent T. L. Sheppard and
Albert Wall, of counsel for the COM
pany. were present at yesterdays meet
ing and evidenced much surprise when
informed that the road was trespassing
on city property at Mechanic street.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd said that a
portion of the street was really vacated
to its intersection with New Jersey
Railroad but the company's
representatives seemed to feel that
some fine legal points are involved, and
It was evident that the road would not
be content to accept the city's stand,
and that the courts would be asked to
decide the matter, If the board does not
yield it's point.
May Lay Third Track.
Meanwhile, if the Mechanic street
opening Is allowed to remain In dispute,
Mr.. Sheppard said h company would
lay a third track on the present eleva-
ton and construct additional platform
facilities to accommodate the new track.
I'VE simply must move more trains
through Newark" said Mr.. Sheppard,
land we cannot do it with the present
facilities. The Mechanic street opening
would cut our proposed new station In
half and make a mess of the whole con-
templated Improvement.

Work TO BE Completed July L.

In referring to the Saybrook place
electric line, Mr.. Sheppard said the
plans called for a three-track entrance
into the city, and thai the work would
be completed about July l next. =
The pans call for d one-stoty term
nal building Of artistic design, and the
approach to it from the track side will
be depressed in order, as explained by
Mr.. Sheppard, that the system may be
extended, II the .Ih1eh-discussed SUBJ
way plans of14he McAdoo. road, to-
gether with the city's suggested relief
from the present congested conditions
In the shape of subways In Broad and
Market streets, take definite shape.
There was little doubt in the minds OF
the engineering department that these
subways would eventually be built, and
when asked by Chief Engineer Sherrerd
IL the railroad would enter into a plan
that contemplated such extensions, Mr..
Sheppard said that his road would be
willing to make the necessary additions
to the Saybrook terminal that o
involve the establishment of a central
terminal for all the subways under the
bridge at Centre Market at the apex Of
Military Park.
Rate Is Discussed.
Mr.. Sheppard explained that the COM
pany proposed giving the city a
po~pular-priced and quick service to
New York, and admitted in reply to
an inquiry that the rate would prob
ably be twenty-five cents for a round
trip, although he said this was not
definitely decided.
President Denman here explained
the situation so far as the city viewed
the matter Of the Mechanic street
opening.
1.-THE widening of Mechanic street is
made necessary by the need of pro-
viding relief from the congested con-
ditions in the centre of the city, where
there are large blocks of inaccessible
property. From Ferry street west this
Improvement must be accomplished If
possible, as the public demands it and
1t will be too late to think Of 1t after
the new station is built. The cost
would be greater and the undertaking
more difficult in every way"
Would Mean Poorer Service.
Don't you think" asked Mr.. Wall,
that the added facilities and improve
ments planned by the railroad would
be more important to the public than
the opening Of Mechanic street? II
must be apparent that h opening
would force US to give poorer service
than we contemplate under our pres
ent plans. The addition of merely q
