ST. NICHOLAS DAY
OBSERVED in
HOLLAND
CHILDREN OF THE DUTCH coUN-
TRY HAVE THEIR CHRIST
MAS EARLY

Amsterdam, Dec. 5.--No festival in
Holland exercises a more enchanting
spell over both young and old than
the Dutchman's "F'east of st. Nicho-
las" The jolly old patron saint of
children corresponds in Holland to
our Father Christmas, though coming
three weeks earlier, on the birthday
of the old Spanish prshop, which falls
on December 6.
The feast Of St. Nicholas has its
pathetic side this year, for. while the
children are to gather this evening
to sing the old songs and welcome the
coming of Santa, their elders are
praying that the efforts of the good
Queen Wilhelmina to induce the war
ring nations to accept peace may re-
suit in the restoration of happiness
throughout stricken Europe. The
queen has sent a message by the
American minister to President Will
son at Washington, and the good peo-
pie of Holland are hoping that some
thing can be done.
The original custom was for the
children to place their little wooden
shoes upon the hearth on the eve of
st. Nicholas day, the legend being
that on that night the holy man rode
over the housetops on snow-white
steed accompanied by his little black
servant, Moorish negro
'Sinta Klaas'' was supposed to car
ry with him large bag, full of toys
and sweets of all kinds for the good
children, and riding over the roofs he
threw the presents in passing down
the chimneys into the shoes below
After him came the little black boy
carrying birch rod as d souvenir
for the very naughty ones.
In the early days, the Even of st.
Nicholas, was given over to the chill
dren entirely, but by degrees the
grown ups have come more and more
to share in it, until now in Holland
it is a great gathering for big and
little ones alike. People send pres
ents one to another, and good deal
of teasing people about their pet
weaknesses is indulged in.
st. Nicholas day is for all Dutch
children a day Of tremendous excite
ment of alternate hopes and fears
(the latter for the naughty boys with
wholesome dread of the rod and
all that day they can talk and think
of nothing else but "Sinta Klaas.' AS
rule dinner is taken an hour ear
her than usual, and after the meal is
eaten cosy red cover is spread over
the table, according to the old Dutch |
custom, and all sit around the table,
the biggest children being supplied
with scissors to cut the strings for the
parcels.
The father then says: children, I
think st. Nicholas may be here now
at any moment; let Us sing him a
little song that he may hear you are
all good children and are expecting
him" Whereupon, all lights are turn
down and in the fever of expectation
the little ones chant some quaint old
song. While these songs are beig
sung, one hears ring at the door

be denied by people who value their
reputation; and, accordingly, we find in
DR.. Trademarks book such admissions
as this, on page 400: christian Science
does many wonderful works. Some of
the cures seem almost, if not altogether,
miraculous" 1 imagine this will be a
distinct revelation to many good peo-
pie in Madison county who have been
doubling in their minds whether Chris
tan Science really heals the sick. 1t
may be that their good pastor or their
faithful family physician has expressed
doubt as to whether Christian Science
is really healing the people. But now
we find that its bitterest and ablest foes
are compelled to admit that it is doing
many wonderful works" and that some
of its cures are almost, if not altogeth-
er, miraculousp
These good works being admitted,
Christian Science says to its enemies,
as Jesus said to His enemies: Many
good works have / showed you from
my Father; for which of those works do
ye stone me? If do not the works of
my Father, believe me not. But if
do, though we believe not me, believe
the works, that We may know and be-
lieve that the Father is in me, and / in
Him." This He said to the Scribes and
Pharisees, the orthodox clergy of that
day, and it shows how important Jesus
considered it to be that all should ac-
cept as true the healing power of the
Gospel which He received from the
Father and delivered to them. They
answered Him as the orthodox clergy
of today are answering Christian Science
they said: Thou hast a DEVIL
John S:4S. They said: ''This fellow
doth not cast out devils, but by Belize
bub, the prince of the devils. Matt.
1921. So say the Scribes and Phari-
sees today.
On page 4O3 of his book DR.. Halde-
man says of the healing power of Chris
tan Science: Its power is the power
and energy of Satan alone" Such peo-
pie would say the same thing of Jesus
if He should appear today and again
take up the healing work. How would
it be possible for them to recognize
Him? They say today that Christian
healing is past and gone. If He should
appeal to His works, they are commit
ted to the belief that such works are
done, not by the power of God, as Jesus
said, but by the power of Satan. What
appeal could Jesus make to such peo-
pie? Is it not passing strange that they
will believe the devil is doing this gra-
cious work for the people, in the Chris
tan Science Church, while maintaining
that God has ceased to do such works
for the people in the orthodox churches?
to this argument, the day of
good works is over with God, but not

Christian Scientists Reply
To DR.. Barnes.

1t should be observed that the long
list of absurd things alleged against
Christian Science, each item beginning
with the words 1T denies, etc." which
appeared in the published Excerpts"
from DR. Barnes sermon, are not quo
tations from any Christian Science book
or authority, but are mere statements
against Christian Science contained in
a book written by a minister of the
Episcopal Church, as to which DIR.
Barnes says: 81 have used DR.. Halde-
mans book in the preparation of my
address because, so far as l know, the
Christian Scientists have never at
tempted a REPUTATION of its PROPOSE
tons" As a matter of fact, the absurd
propositions of this book have been sue
cessfully refuted by the Christian Scien-
lists, time and again, in the public press
of perhaps every State and Territory in
the Union, only DR.. Barnes has not
been so alert to inform himself on this
side of the question. Indeed, if Chris
tan Science was anything like its enc
mics represent it to be, the Christian
Scientists themselves would doubtless
be the first to repudiate it, for the
Christian Scientists certainly believe it
is a correct Interpretation of the Bible
and the teaching of Christ Jesus and
recognize no other authority for its
doctrine. 1t is a common practice of
the opponents of Christian Science to
represent it as teaching any number of
absurd things that no sane man would
believe, and, having thus assured them
selves an easy job, they proceed val
iantly to demolish this straw man of
their own creation, who never had an ex-
istence outside Of their subservient fan
cies. Fortunately, everything that
Christian Science teaches, or has ever
taught, is plainly set forth in Mrs. Ed
dy's books, which are readily accessi-
BILE to the public and which every read
er OF your excellent paper and every one
who heard DIR. Barnes sermon may
read and know whether or not it teach
es the silly things that are charged
against it. They will find that many
of the statements in the Excerpts" are
unqualifedly false and Others are so de-
tached from their proper connection as
to convey false impression, which is
just as misleading.
For many years it was thepractice of
these sectarian critics of Christian
Science to ridicule the healing work it
is doing; then they began to admit that
it might relieve nervousness and per-
haps relieve functional troubles some
times; finally its cures became so nu-
merous and notorious that they cannot

Jesus called attention to these healing
works as signs that should follow and
identify bis Gospel from all others,
would seem to preclude the possibility
of these signs following any other gos-
pei or the activities of any other agency.
For it is not supposabIe that He would
have persistently appealed to these
works as presenting the most unmis-
taxable evidence of his Christly mission
and the truth of his Gospel, knowing at
the same time that it was in the power
of Satan to do these works and SO de-

Suppose they all meet and take the vote,
first, whether the gospel preached by
the Baptist minister is the Gospel of
Jesus, every sone of them but the Bap-
fist brother would vote no, with all his
heart, and so, in turn, every gospel that
any of them is preaching would be con

the other ministers and we should have

The fact, therefore, that these signs do
not follow the preaching of these COS
peis, does not so much as raise pre-
sumption that they would not follow
the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus
nor weaken the convincing force of their
testimony that the gospel of Christian
Science is the Gospel of Jesus.

Number Of Commands Of National
Guard Likely to Be Treated
Before Going to Camp.

AS precaution against typhoid
fever, which is usually most prevalent
during the late summer and early fall,
authorities at the state reformatory at
Pontiac have begun immuniSing the in
mates with typhoid vaccine. The head
physician of the institution asked the
state board of health to provide the
vaccine, and It was sent to him.
This is the first state institution to
ask for vaccine for the protection of
inmates. The experiment there will be
watched with great interest by other
institutions. 1t is hardly an expert
ment, however, for the United States
army has been using the vaccine for
"a year and there has not been a case
of typhoid in the army since its use
was begun. There are no bad effects
from the immunization.
Reports from the agents of the state
board who have been supplied with the
typhoid vaccine for free distribution
indicate that the innovation is becom-
ing popular. Although the typhoid sea-
SON is not yet here, hundreds are sub
hitting to immunization. Reports of
the physicians making the injection
show no serious results from the oper-
alton. Nothing worse than a slight
stiffness and soreness of the arm for
day or two has been reported.
The state boards anti-toxin agent
in each county seat in the state has
been supplied with the typhoid vaccine
for free distribution to physicians. Any
physician desiring it must make appli-
cation to the county seat agent Other
anti-toxin agents are not supplied.
Battery G of the Illinois National
guard, Waukegan, has been immunized.
The board has offered to supply vac
cine to the entire guard. Some of the
commands may decide to submit to the
treatment before going into camp at
Camp Lincoln this summer. AS the
vaccine is supposed to immune them
for a period of three years, it is well
worth while.
