Editor Star: In your publication Of
March 70 there are statements that
! can hardly believe any bishop would
make, for he must be a man of edu-
cation to give him that title, yet if
he has done so, it is only fair to the
world at large that he should bring
the parents of cruelty to children I'M
der the notice of the law, for Chris
tian Scientists must be law-abiding
or they lose their title. But to say
that Little children are the worst
sufferers from the evils of Eddyism,
so-called Christian Science" is con-
Trajectory in the extreme, for Chris
tan Science is the Science of Christ,
and there can be no evil in that If
what the bishop calls Eddyism is
Christian Science, then there can be
no evil in that, either. There is no per-
cent of people living today who can
be made to believe that something is
nothing, or vice versa. But the sense
of vision is totally unreliable, and
any scientist, Christian or otherwise,
will back that statement. As to using
Christian Science reasoning to prove
that so-called Christian Science is not
real a child of twelve years knows
that, but if Christian Science is not
real, and all that is real in every
sense of the term, it is not Christian
Science
The bishop makes a false statement
if he said that Mrs. Eddy taught that
We (whatever is meant by WEI do not
need food She made a reply to the
question to the effect that, 'if you
think you can live without eating you
had better try it." THAT sin does not
exist suffering does not exist" sin

| that an error in mathematics exists,
it exists only so long as it can appear

soon as discovered it is known not to
/ be mathematics. But to say. that moth
ing exists"-Mrs. Eddy says that life,
truth, intelligence, knowledge and the
like, exist, and only such does exist
or in reality is substance.
If you mean by pulling the whole
publication to pieces" Science and
Health" by Mary Baker Eddy, It
would be an utter impossiblity, for it
is, and has been for forty years con

religious organization in existence to-
day.
THE less we say about Mrs Eddy
the better" Who but the bishop is
doing the saying, please, and for what
reason should be be so incensed
against the truth?
AS to Mrs. Eddy putting herself on
a level with Jesus Christ, she was,
in so far as she could do the work
that He did" for He said that
greater works should we do"
"She preached that there was no
such thing as death"

Daddy sBedtlrne
q. The Litae Birch
@ - Tree That Grew
BY the Road

AID daddy, "Now, children, I am going to tell you the story OF q little
birch tree"
Jack and Evelyn curied down at his feet and this is the story ne
told them: # a.s. #s.. .4##H.
"The little birch tree grew on a high bank at the edge of the woods. "A
road ran past the bank, a road that wound up a beautiful hillside
1.-THE road was a very pretty one. twas lined with handsome trees. When
people came along they generally stopped to admire these There were tall
.chestnuts up and down which the busy squirrels scrambled in their search for
winter stores; thaew were tall oaks for which the lumbermen sometimes called
with sharp saws and axes; there were cedars in whose thick. evergreen
branches the hardy birds made all year homes; there were bushy hckories that
the boys loved as dearly al the squirresi there were maple, gum and sumac
trees whose leaves giowed blood red in the fall; there were slender hrches
whose white trunks swayed in every breeze.
THE little birch was, only a young thing, a saphng, but he longed to be
noticed and praised. But he a only a thin spindfng plant in which no one
but the mother tree could see any beauty
mo one ever stops to admire me- the little birch said to her.
Never mind, dear; just grow with all your might and when you are a
TALL straight tree every one will notice you
cat first the little tree tried to do a s she told him, but you know, it takes
a long time for a tree TO grow, and he soon tired.
Instead of growing straight up toward the sun. as he was told, he kept
leaning out to see who "a coming along the road.
"My child, you ire getting quite ne sided said the old tree, All your
little boughs are reaching out toward the road. If you wish to be admired you
must be a perfectly straight tree, with boughs growing all around your trunk
THE little birch tree grew tall that summer, and when. spring came he was
ready to grow some more His trunk leaned well over the road, and his little
roots chung to the soft soil of the bank IS best they could.
lone day there came a heavy rain. 1t lasted till the next day and the next
Torrents Of muddy water poured down the bank and along the road. Stones
and bushes we're washed loose
"Finaly the sun came out and the birds began to sing again. Then the
little birch tree felt the earth slipping from beneath his roots, and with a crash
he fell over in the road.
"oh, my son. cried his mother, If you had only been content to grow to-
ward the sun, as / told you to dc, instead Of cTaning your neck out to the road
this never would have happened"

weeks in that country during the win

cost, is worth thinking about.

travellers with whatever information
they may wish about Florida, and if
you will drop me a line l will very
gladly help you in whatever inquiry
you wish to make. ! am the North
