Whether the State constablcs, under

MORE ABOUT CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE.
Mrs. Elizabeth II. Bell Again Answers
Bob Jones Oh Points OF Doctrine.
Editor The Daily Item.

Editor The Daily Item.
When clergyman adopts in his
pulpit the methods of the prize ring
one cannot but conclude that there is
need of that inward spiritual grace"
which is an essential mark of Christ's
followers.
Christian Science worships God as
Love, and it is quite true that this is
it's central teaching about which all
else revolves.
The prayer of Christian Science is
the understanding and demonstration
of this Love, accepted as the test of
obedience given by Jesus: IF ye love
me, keep my commandments"
His command was That we love
one another, as I have loved YOU"
Not praying to Love to be Love,
but understanding what God as Love
is. and living this understanding.
Christian Science teaches that God
is spirit; that man and the universe.
created by Him, are spiritual partak-
ing Of His nature.
That the belief Of a material uni
verse is a mistaken sense of the true.
and-that this mistake will be correct
ed through publication and spiritual
enlightenment.
Christian Science teaches that me
devil, denominated by Jesus "a liar
and the father of lies" is the sum to-
tai Of the belief in a power opposed
to God. THE prince Of true power of
true air." Eph.
! Christian Science teaches that there
is no sin in the divine mind; but that
sin exists as power in the human
mind; and can be dethroned as this
much is put off for the mind that
was in CHRIST Jesus.
1t would appear from Rev. Bob
Jones statement that his concept of
God is of human being establishing
an organized system of religion with
man at it's head. Whereas the re-
ligion taught by Jesus was love to
God and man, and keeping ourselves
unspotted from the world" This is
Christian Science, the Christianity Of
the Bible, which is "despoiling the
kingdom of Sats l." THE vital part,
the heart and &oul of Christian Science
Is Love-" Mrs. Eddy has said on page
2113 Of Science and Health.
Christian Science has no affiliation
whatever with spiritualism or millen-
ial dawnism, but is totally un-
like them.
The one and only way to steer
clear of the devil is to know God Az
ever-present Love. This knowledge
will heal all ills lift religion above the
plane of vulgar ephithets and establish
Christ's Christianity.

SHOULD UTILIZE RESOURCES,
LATlN-AMERICAN NATIONS WANT
AID THROUGH UNITED
STATES.
Development of Vast Resources of
Country and How They Can be
Turned To Advancement of Latin
American Countries Discussed ut
Pan-Amcrican Conference.

Washington. May 25.-The story of
how the vast resources of the United
States may be used to aid Latin-Amer-
lean republics in clearing away diff
culties the European war has brought.
was told I'm part today TO business
men and bankers who represent this
nation at the Pan-American finan-
cial conference.
In group conferences delegates from
is countries began explanations TO rep
resentatives of commercial and finan-
cial interests OF the United States of
their peculiar needs. and indicated
in what ways capital and credit could
be used TO best advantage to
strengthen trade relations. The gen.
eral idea expressed was that in the
Southern republics the surplus capital
OF the United States would find fer
tile fields for investment which must
bring in the future a closer political
and commercial union.
The only general session of the con-
ference today was marked by a dra-
matte speech by DR.. Santiago Perez
Triana, delegate from Colombia, who
waived the flag Of Pan-Americanism
and declared that this hemisphere
should be for Americans. He pro-
posed new version of the Monroe
doctrine that would make IL impos,
sible for one American nation to covet
foot OF a neighbor's territory or in
wade her soil. 1t was a speech such
as had not been heard before at the
conference. devoted largely to ques-
tions OF commerce and trade, and the
delegates greeted 1t with long con-
tinued applause.
Let us see," said DR.. Triana. "tha.
the harmony in this continent is
diaphanous. transparent and clear
without one shadow Of doubt. The
inviolability of the continent which
made 1t so that the eyes Of conquest
should be closed to outsiders has not
worked absolutely. 1 am not here to
recapitulate or to blame-far be II
for me. Wherever redress is possible.
redress should be accomplished.
Whenever in the history of the nation,
redress Is not possible. We resign our
selves to the imperfections Of human
ity and let bygones be bygones and
let the dead past bury its dead"

AGRICULTURAL LIME DEPOSIT.
Discovered on Mountain Above Wal
halla.

Anderson Mail.
superintendent John r. Anderson
Is advised by engineers of the pres
ence Of a huge deposit of agriculture
al lime ca the Blue Ridge railway
right of way between Walhalla and
the tunnel on Stumphouse mountain.
The engineers declare there is a
whole mountain Of lime" up there.
When Vice President Henry w. Mil
Ter and Mr.. Shaw, assistant traffic
manager of the Southern Railway,
were visitors here few days ago,
Capt. Anderson went with them to
Walhalla and took them out to see
the tunnel. Although Mr.. Miller has
been indirectly connected with the
Blue Ridge railway for many years
he had never before seen the tunnel.
He. like his predecessor Col. An
drews, longs for the building of the
road over the mountains to Knoxville.
While the party Of gentlemen wer.
at the tunnel they were advised Of
the discovery Of the deposit Of ag-
ricultural line. The right of way
OF the railroad to the tunnel splits
the deposit in two, and If the deposit
Is sufficient I'm size to warrant the
building Of line the officials may
undertake to do this. There has been
scarcity & agricultural lime in
south Carolin, for some time. it is
understood. and it may be that the
Blue Ridge has the key to solve the
lime problem for this State.
The railroad company wants more
stone to ballast the tracks and the
tracks Of the Southern Railway, and
the hauling Of ballast and lime may
warrant the building Of a spur
track. The distance from Walhalla
to the mouth of the tunnel is some-
where between six and eight miles.
There is plenty of stone, just the
Kind the railroads want for ballast
on the right of way leading to the
tunnel.
The party of railroad officials also
visited quarry located near Pendle-
ton, owned by the Blue Ridge rail-
way company. In order to operate
this quarry II would be necessary to
build a spur track little more than
two miles in length.
May Build to the Tunnel.
Concerning the plans of the Blue
Ridge railway to get more ballast the
Seneca Farm and Factory says:
With a view of extending the Blue
Ridge railroad from Walhalla TO the
tunnel above the town, high officials
or the Blue Ridge and Southern svs-
TENS Inspected the proposed route
last week. 1t Is said that the exten
sion will be for the purpose of get
ting ballast from the mountains to
DE USED IN the work of double track
ing the Southern between Charlotte
and Atlanta.
NO announcement has come from
ofilcials of either the Blue Ridge or
the Southern, but on the streets of
seneca this morning it is said that
H. w. Miller. assistant to the presl
dent Southern railway, and Mr.. John
X. Anderson, SUPERINTENDENT of tbo
Blue Ridge, together with the SUPER
intendent Of construction Of the Blue
hidge' made tour of inspection over
the old Blue Ridge survey last week
IL Is estimated that it will be
cheaper TO construct the roadbed TO
the tunnel than to build the spur
from Pendleton to the quarry near
that town. The Blue Ridge owns
the land in the mountains.
