Eddy is not dead? She means
more. She asserts that the res
direction of Mrs. Eddy in the
semblance of human form is i'm
minent-that she is about to be
raised from her tomb to mani
fest herself to all the world in
proof of her teachings that there
is no death.
Of course, one can easily en-
ough make prediction of that
sort. You can predict any thing.
But will it come true? That is
the question.
Mrs. Stets0n is careful to pre-
dict vaguely. 1t would not do to
say the dead leader would come
to life on the third day or on&he
thirtieth; better say that the res
direction was imminent, that
is, not far off, liable to take place
any time. Wait and see. We
venture the prediction that the
venerable leader Of the Christian
Scientists will not come out of
her grave any sooner than other
believers. The obscure Chris
tian washer-woman who believed
in Christ and did her duty the
best she knew how will have as
good a chance for imminent"
resurrection as Mother Eddy.
Mrs. Stetson would do we'll to
keep silence in her church. She
does injustice to the character Of
Mrs. Eddy. The venerable lead
er believed in the immortal life,
but she never taught that her
body would leave the tomb in
order to prove. the truth of her
teachings.

an effort for a better life for the
year entered upon. The year
passed has been exempt from
disaster, and all have enjoyed a
goodly measure of prosperity and
growth in material wealth. Can
it be said that civic righteousness
has progressed in the same mea-
sure? If it has it is we'll. Since
the outburst of civic righteous
ness in Adams county against
corrupt elections we have felt
somewhat encouraged and have
some reason to hope that some
good will come out of the at
tempted publication. While cor
ruption may be as bad as it ap-
pears, or even worse. it does not
follow that Adams county stands
alone in vote buying and selling.

Of the counties. One writer
gives it as his opinion that this
evil is practiced only in the bor-

right in his diagnosis of the dis

and may extend as far as to the
axes. Let the work of purifica-

The weather made a change
and we had some tobacco wealth
er last week. Nearly everyone
took some or all of it down, which
means that farmers will be busy
for some time and will not have
time to go to town so often. We
know the business men will miss
us, but it can't be helped. We
did all we could to help them out
up to this time and they ought
not to complain. Their holiday
trade was a good one and they
have reaped their harvest.

New Year came with a 35 de-
gree temperature and rain, quite
a change from Christmas, whose
temperature was 3 degrees be-
low zero and the earth clad in
robes of white. Can anyone tell
what that high temperature and
rain of the first day of the year
signifies? It is probable that it is
foreboding of something, if we
only knew what. Is there not a
seer some place who can explain
this strange phenomenon? What
ever it may be l hope it is moth

Washington, Dec. 30
With the close of the holiday
season, there is a renewal of ac-
tiVity in the executive, legisla-
tive and judicial branches of the
government in hington.
XIX K
Barely two months of the life
of the present Congress remains,
for at the hour of IL M. on the
4th of March the 61st Congress
will expire by limitation. Then
nearly twelve months must E.
lapse before the Congress elect
ed last November can assemble
and begin the work for which it
was elected This is an exceed
ingly clumsy arrangement, for it
not only puts off till tomorrow
what ought to be done today, but
multiplies the delay by nearly
four hundred days. However,
let the heathen rage, because in
asmuch as the remedy must be
through legislation, it is almost
impossible Of attainment.

Is Mrs. Eddy Dead2
BY LEO.


had died on the 3rd day of De-
cember, at her home, and later
that she was buried as other
dead people are. But now comes
Mrs. Stetson, the erstwhile lead
er of the Christian Scientists of
New. York. City saying Mrs.
Eddy is not dead"
Can these statements both be
true? They are true. The mo-
ther of Christian Science died on
the above date, that is, the body
became lifeless, or in ordinary
way of speaking, the soul and
body parted-"dust going to dust
and the spirit going to God who
gave it." It is appointed for all
persons to die, and this appoint
ment was not set aside in favor
of Mrs. Eddy. She was no eX-
ception to the rest Of mankind.
And yet, Mrs. Stetson tells
veritable truth in saying Mrs.
Eddy is not dead. Mrs. Eddy is
alive in more than one sense.
She lives in her influence over
the people that form the Chris
tian Science cult. She was the
mother and guide of that church
and the members thereof had
great faith in her. She will con.
tinue to influence through her
writings. Though dead she yet
speaketh.
y But this is true of all great
leaders in human society, wheth-
er in church or state. Washing
ington and Lincoln, Luther and
John Knox are still mighty on
earth. In fame they are immor-
tai. Mary Baker Eddy, like 9th |
er great leaders, will have a post |
mortem influence. !
Is that the meaning of Mrs. |
Stetson? Nay, verify, as we
shall show further on.
Mrs. Eddy is alive personally. |
Like Webster, she still lives. It |
is set down in the Book that he |
who believeth in Christ hath e.
ternal life, and shall never die. |
The late Mrs. Eddy believed in
her Savior, and like all other
Christians has simply passed
from death to life.
Notice that we make no differ
ence between the mother of
Christian Science and other
Christian souls. All fare alike.
Death to them is simply promo
ton to a higher life. It is the
mortal putting on Immortality.
This truth is realized with less
vividness than in the earlier ages
of the Christian religion. In the
days when the saints we're per-
secuted and slain they endured
all sorts of torture and death
willingly, rather than compro-
mise their faith, believing that
death was the gate to eternal
joy,
Christians still hold this to be-
true, but many realize ii but
feebly.
Mrs. Eddy gave the truth full
sway. In her creed death is
= nothing but a change in the mode
of living. But then Thousands
upon thousands of Christian souls

Representative Longworth of
Ohio has come back to Washing
ton with the complete draft of a
bill creating a tariff commission,
and it is said that Payne, AID
rich, Dalzell and the rest of them
are in favor of such a commits
sion and that legislation on the
subject will be completed before
the 4th of March. The bill as
drafted creates a commission of
five members, each with a sala-
ry Of $500, and of the member
ship not more than three are to
be of the same political party.
The central Office is to be in
Washington, but the commission
is empowered to meet anywhere
and is given wide powers of COL
lection and collation. of facts.
The bill authorizes the commits
sion to go into the cost of pro-
duction of all articles and to in
vestigate the wages paid at home
and in foreign countries, also the
prices paid for raw materials,
whether imported or domestic.
The e maximum and minimum

A measure of prime importance
which will be urged by the Pres
ident, the Secretary Of War, the
Secretary of State and by men,
bers and senators in both houses
of Congress, is the prompt forti-
fication of the Panama Canal, es-
pecially at its western end. De-
fenses against modern dread
noughts cannot be improvised in
a night, and it is impossible to
exaggerate the Importance of
protecting a work upon which so
much money has been spent and
which is so vital to the protec-
ton of the Pacific coast.
The new year opens with the
United States at peace with all
the world, but the words of Pat
rick Henry, Gentlemen may cry
Peace, peace, but there is no
peace" are just as true now as
they were in 1776. There is no
peace in the family, no peace in
the apartment house, no peace
between owners of adjoining
farms, and the United States
having extended it's borders to
Panama, the Hawaiian Islands,
the Philippines, Guam and the
Aleutian Islands, is in perpetual
rasping attrition with the rest of
the world. 1t might be better if
we could give away or sink the
Philippines and let the Japanese
poachers have all the seals on the
Pribilof Islands and escape quar-
rels by confning ourselves to an
tebellum boundaries, but we are
in situation of having and hold
ing and can't let go. Therefore,
it is wisdom to strengthen ou1
hold with warships and fortifi-
cations.
