Christian Science Healing.

The thing that has caused the most Criti-
csm of Christian Science is that it claims
to heal the sick without drugs, by spiritual
means only, through the medium of prayer,
and as this is the phase of Christian Science
in which the public seems to be most inter-
ested shall take the liberty of discussing
the subject with some partiCularity, and
shall endeavor to answer the objections
that have been presented to healing by
prayer.
There are two classes of critics who at
tack Christian Science healing. First,
those who say that it is impossible, and
therefore prepoSterOus, for Christian Science
to claim that the sick may be healed with
out drugs, through the medium of prayer,
and, second, those who claim that it is un-
scriptural to attempt to do so. All criti-
Cism of Christian Science healing falls
under these two heads.
With respect to the first class, those who
say that it is impossible, it can only be
answered that through Christian Science all
kinds of diseases have been healed. This
cannot be denied. The entire Christian
Science movement is made up of people
who have been healed. Most of them
turned to Christian Science as last resort,
after having failed to get relief through
other channels. Christian Science church
es are built with money contributed as a
thank offering to God by those who have
been healed through Christian Science.
The person in this day who denies that
Christian Science heals the sick is merely
closing his eyes to what he does not wish
to see. 1t is a fact that Christian Science
does heal all manner of diseases and suffer-
ing, and it is fact for which every one
should be grateful
With respect to the second class, those
who think that it is unscriptural for Chris
tian Science to teach that the sick may be
healed without drugs, by spiritual means
only, through the medium of prayer, will
say that it is difficult to understand how
any person who has studied the Bible or
believes in God, can be troubled by such a
question. 1t seems obvious that people
who pray to God for everything they de-
sire might also be expected to pray to Him
for deliverance from sickness as we'll as from
sin.
Christian Science declares without any
eouiyocation that the truth taught by Jesus,
when rightly understood and rightly ap-
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1912-07-11

growth in the true understanding of God,
but it can be safely predicted that the heal
ing power of Christ, Truth, will never
again be lost to mankind.
Why should any one not wish to believe
that God heals, the sick? Is it not thing
to be desired? and is it not something for
which humanity has been praying through
the centuries? Now that it is here why
should any one not wish to accept it9 Let
each one ask himself that question.

Russell Freeman, a 15-year-old bay,
had narrow escape from drowning,
Sunday morning, while in swimming
with a party of boys about his own
age at the town landing on the east
side. He could swim but very little and
was carried beyond his depth before he
realized it. He had gone down for the
third time when he was rescued by Ar
thur Daniels. A boat was put out from
the shore and Daniels got the Freeman
boy with difficulty into the boat. It
required 20 minutes work to resusci-
tate the lad but it is not thought that
he will suffer any serious effects from
his experience. The boys who were in
swimming with him knew but little as
TO what should be done to revive the
boy and it was largely due to the time
ly arrival upon the scene of Lawrence
Roderick that the boy was revived.

BASEBALL TOURNAMENT
For Maine Championship, Feature in
Connection With Hanks Meet.

an elimination tournament for the
best ball clubs in the State. in con-
neetion with his August meeting. The
sum of $500 will be distributed in
purses. besides a valuable champion
ship banner to the club winning in
the finals.
Eight teams will be selected from
those making application and. on
Monday, Aug. 5. the day before the
great race meet begins. four of the
eight clubs will play the other four,
beginning at 8 A. NJ, and playing two
games i'm the forenoon and two in
the afternoon The four winning
teams will receive $50 each and will
take part in the semi-finals, the fol-
lowing day. The four losing teams
will receive $25 each and will be then
eliminated from the tournament.
on Tuesday. Aug 6, two of the
winning teams will play the other
two, one game in the forenoon and
one in the afternoon. The two win
ming teams in the semi-tinals will re-
ceive $50 each and the two losing
teams $40 each, the latter to be then

titled to the State championship. A

govern the games and Johnny Carri
gan of Lewiston will probably offici-
ate as umpire. Entry blanks can be
