LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rate. to Inauguration

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 In this mornings Age-Herald there is an article headed. Reduced Rates to Tnauguration' in which it is stated that certain railroad lines have granted rate of one and one-half cents per mile, plus 25 cents, on account of the inaugu- ration, but that all of the roads enter ing into the agreement had made the provision that those profitng from the rates must travel in parties of from 20 to 25 people.
 This statement of your reporter is er- roneous.
 I beg to advise that, all the lines in Alabama have named rate for indivd- ual tickets of approximately one and half cents per mile, distance travelled, plus 25 cents, from points in Alabama to Montgomery and return, on the occasion of the inauguration of Governor ONeal, January 16 This rate of one and oneI half cents per mie distance travelled, plus 25 cents is available for individuals. who may procure transportation for one per- son or for any number of persons at that rate.
 Practically all the lines in Alabama have also named a party rate from principal points of one cent per mile. distance tray eled plus 25 cents, for parties of 25 or more, travelling on the same ticket. This latter rates is intended to accommodate military companies, bands, or parties or individuals who see fit to avail them selves of this party rate. Yours truly,
 GEORGE w. JONES. Chairman Transportation Committee 1n-
 auguration Ceremonies.
 More About Christian Science To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In view of the fact that many sensa- tional and erroneous statements in re- gard to the attitude of Christian Scien- lists toward the passing away Of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy have found their way into our papers, it is thought expedient that an authoritative statement from a recognized Christian Scientist be pub lished. I, therefore, submit the following from Alfred Harlow, chairman of the pub- lication committee of the First Church of Christ Scientist, of Boston. U
 MRS J. D. MATLOCK.
 Ensley, January 5. 1911.
 Boston.-Alfred Barlow, chairman Of the publication committee of the Chris tian Science church, said today:
 "1he statement that the Christian Sci ence directors have received protest from New York against the placing of guards at Mrs. Eddy's tomb is false. There was no mysticism in the minds of persons who placed guards at the entrance of Mrs. Eddy's tomb. It was done for the usual reasons.
 MT. Cox is correct In his statement that in her own writings Mrs. Eddy ex- pressed herself as. inexpicably shocked at the suggestion of any comparison be- tween herself and, Jesus Christ. Many years ago she caused to be published the following statement:
 "' A dispatch is given to me calling for an interview to answer for myself-am I the second Christ?
 Even the question shocks me. What I am is for God to declare in His infinite mercy. I claim nothing more than what am. the discoverer and founder of the Christian Science. sand the blessing 1t has been to mankind which etermnity un- folds. There was, Is and ever can be but one God, one Jesus of Nazareth while Christian Scientists believe the scriptural teaching that the time will come when there will be no more pain and no more death, they take the common sense view that centuries may pass be- fore this exalted spiritual estate is reached. s- ss sig '.The metaphor of the woman clothed in the sun which appears in the Apoca- llypse is, taken by Christian Scientists in the same figurative sense in which 1t is used by the Revelator. It refers to spiritual understandings
