SHOCKS CAUSE ALARM. !
Four Separate and Distinct Vibra-
tons of The Earth Noticed
This Morning.

Quite little excitement has been
occasioned in Cambridge during the
past few hours on account of the
fact that number of vibrations OF
the earth have been noticed, giving
rise to the belief among MANY per-
sons that an earthquake has taken
place in some part of the country,
such persons stating that at the
time of the San Francisco disaster,
the shock was distinctly felt here.
The general impression, however.
seems to exist that the shocks are
the result of target practice with
heavy guns, either at Indian Head
or at Norfolk.
Four separate and distinct shocks
were noticed by Cambridge resi-
dents this morning, all of them
Of sufficient volumn to cause win
dows to rattle, doors to slam and
shutters to shake. Since noon no
disturbances have been noticed.

A Remarkable Man.

Philadelphia (Pa.) Endeavor-
There are those whose success is
the occasion of surprise, others for
whose popularity there is but made
quate explanation, but it is no diff
ficult task to trace the elements of
power in DR.. Henry M. Wharton.
His personal appearance is striking
and attractive, his manners are
charming, he is courteous without
being courtly, free without amy
lack of dignity, general without be-
ing familiar, transparent without
carrying his heart on his sleeve,
intensely in earnest, yet never
straining the nerves of others,
commander instinctively yet never
forcing acquiescence, sober in his
mission yet sunny in his tempera-
ment, a genuine Christian in private
as we'll as in public. Few men pos
sess to so great a degree the gift
of personal magnetism. 1t belongs
to his personalities it's natural
expression-a subtle indescribable
something which cannot be disguis-
ed by himself or initiated by others.
He is a man of wonderful versatile
ty, familiar with law, theology and
military science and human nature;
eminent as preacher, famed as an
evangelist, a noted author, dis
tinguished lecturer, a remarkable
organizer. He is wonderfully tai
ented, blessed with marvellous tact,
he would have made his mark in
any calling, but truly can it be
said of him, He is a Chosen Yes

that fewer cattle and hogs will be

As TO Communications

First of all. the Islander is a
county newspaper, but quite as i'm
portant, the thought which should
be given prominence is that all COM
munity papers should be mediums
for the exchange of thought and
opinion on all matters which have
to do with the welfare of the pub
lie. So. while the editor reserves
the light to express his opinion
when occasion seems 20 require,
he extends the same privilege to
patrons, only requesting that they
be brief. This last is mentioned
because of the article from Chas.
Mckay. 1t is of interest, and we
welcome it. but it is of too great
length for the space which the Is
ander can devote to one individual.
So we say, give us your ideas, but
make your article short.

Chas. Mckay'S ReiOinder

In the first place, l never write
unless it is to lead the minds of my
fellow beings in a way that may
help to stop their supposed pain
and suffering. Our Seattle Bible
student describes the suffering of
the apostles and Christ. He says
our life is to be a life of pain and
suffering and the end is death.
Then he acknowledges that there
are different classes of healers and
that they do relieve the people of
suffering, but is wise enough to dis
cover that their healing is not done
by the power of God. That is what
was told to Christ two thousand
years ago, that his healing was
done by the power of the Devil.
This Seattle Bible student should
take the advice that Christ gave
his disciples when they found a man
healing the sick, and he was not
their follower, and they forbade bin
to heal. Then they told Christ
what they had done and Christ
told them to let the man alone: if
he was doing good he was with
them. Now, there are thousands Of
good loving doctors, and many of
them are friends of mine, who are
doing all they can to stop suffering.
Now, any school boy or pupil will
tell you in solving a problem he
must work a way to prove whethe r
1t is correct. Now, if our Seattle
Bitle student is correct and pain and
suffering are real what would be
the use of our doctors, trying to
help those suffering? Everything
that is real cannot be destroyed,
and you will find in the last chap
ter of Mark that Christ commanded
the followers to go and preach the
gospel and heal the sick and he gave
them a sign SO they could tell or
have proof whether they were be-
levers in Gods teachings; that they
could lay their hands Oh the sick
and they would be healed. Now,
will give proof that there. are near
lily three million Christian Scientists
all over the world who can testify
that they were healed when ali 9TH
er means had failed. / was reading
