GIFTS OF WEALTHY
SCORED BY BERGER
Socialist Representative
elect Gets Sarcastic.

Milwaukee. Wis. Dec. 26-The Christ
mas gifts of Andrew Carnegie 10 the
cause Of peace and of Rockefeller to the
University of Chicago are savagely and
sarcastcally scored in a signed state
ment by Representative-elect Victor i.
Berger. the local Socialist leader, in a
Christmas letter to local Socialists. He
says. in part:
''Carnegie's income is about $4,000, 90.
to $25,00O0OO annually from steel alone.
Since he quit business he has taken in
about $300,0OO.OOO in interest and profits
as his share. True, he has given away
$lS0.0O0,000 of this. Thus poor Andy had
only Sl0.0O0,000 to live on these past
years. the principal remaining IN
touched
Now Carnegie stated somewhere that
he considered it a disgrace for a man 10
die rich. But unless Andy gets a hustle
on himself I am greatly afraid that ne
viii die a very much disgraced man and
leave a billion or more.
The case of John d. Rockefeller IS
even more disgraeeful, considered from
Andys point of view. HIS annual in
come is vaTiOusly estimated at from $50.
00O.000 10 100000. He has given away
in all his life about $3.50, 200, 600. as far as
is known. and he is always very careful
TO let everybody know
How is ne ever TO redeem himself IT
that rate? And if it is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich man to enter into the king
dom OF heaven, how can John d. ever
escape damnation. in spite OF all the
churches he is building and the ink

mo. Rockefeller would also have to
take up the suggestion that We made
above for Carnegie"

DEFENSE OUTLINED
BY MRS. STETSON
Leader Does Not Recognize
Directors at Boston.

New York, Dec. 26-Mrs. Augusta z,
Stetson, the communicated leader OF
the FIRST Church of Christ. Scientist. in
this city does not recognize the power
OF mortal mind, such as that possessed
by the directors of the mother church
of the Christian Science cult in Boston,
TO terrify the standard bearer Of truth
by threats and invectives. She believes
that the directors in Boston have as yet
shown no sign Of understanding OF the
divine metaphysics" as taught by Mary
Baker G. Eddy. and she does not admit
the power TO deny her the fruits Of her
persistent study Of the precepts Of Mrs.
Eddy
Mrs. Stetson to-day gave the first state
ment of her position VS.. the directors in
Boston that she has made since her ex-
communication over a year ago. In this
she sets forth fully her belief IN the
adequacy Of a full understanding OF
truth 10 triumph over "the cardinal
mind" and she says that the battle be-
tween truth and the unreal Is inevitable.
She also includes this significant state
meut;
ACtAl uClllAIu6 nave tefn made upon
me by a large body OF students from
every walk Of life. which have forced
me 20 gain an understanding OF the
science Of mind, which has uncovered ia
me the subtle and false claims Of the
workings Of the carnal mind. or ma
lcious animal magnetism While I see
this as a false claim. I wrestle with IT
and through the power OF the ChrisS
consciousness make il unreal.
Il know by spiritual consciousness
when ] am attacked BY malicious men,
tai malpractice in its efforts 10 destroy
my usefulness; 10 intimldate or discour-
age me. Ny defense is In the sword OF
the spirit-the word OF God; the declara-
ton that God is the only power and the
only presence; that divine love fills al
space; that there is no power or pres
ence opposed to God. nor TO man. who
reflects Him. Evil in all its forms is
pOwerless 20 overcome good, and must
disappear and leave the field 20 love
who fills all space. This is the mental
defense OF a Christian Scientist. and Is
not malpractice
