Dear Sir:
Recently there appeared in the col
umns of your paper a report OF a
sermon. by one styling himself Pas
tor Russell" the subject of which
was: christian Science-ls 1t Rea-
sonable?"
Let us briefly consider what Mrs
Eddy teaches about God and man
In the first place, we will agree that
blind faith. unless based on fact, VIII
avail nothing. Then all the faith
men may have about God would not
save him from evil and its effects
unless he understood God to be a
saving principle.
Answering the question, What is
Cod" Mrs Eddy says on page 100 OF
her book. Science and Health, With
Kew TO the Scriptures: God is in
corporeal, divine, supreme, infinite,
Mind. Spirit. Soul, Principle. Life,
Truth. Love" On page 475 of the
same book she says: "The Scrip
ture informs us that man is made
in the image and likeness of God.
Matter is not that likeness. The
likeness Of Spirit cannot be so un-
like Spirit. Man is spiritual and
perfect and because he is spiritual
and perfect he must be so under
stood in Christian Science.
It is impossible to make single
quality out of Spirit fit what we have
usually termed man, considering him
as we have to be mortal and mater
ial. All of the research that has
been carried on along various lines
TO determine the origin and destiny
of man has not brought about any
satisfactory solution of the question
involved This can be arrived at
only when we start from the be
ginning and base our calculation on
a spiritual foundation. 1t is impos-
sible to explain the origin or destiny
Of so-called mortal man, for the rea-
son that man is not mortal, but spir-
itual. Therefore, the mortal can only
be explained by explaining it away
and putting in the place thereof
man as he really is.
In solving any given problem one
is usually satisfied when he is able
10 prove his work to be correct, and
for the benefit of those who are not
familiar with the teachings OF Chris
tian Science, We will add that it is
possible to prove every word OF it.
Indeed. Mrs. Eddy does not ask any
one to accept her teachings on any

WHY HE PREFERS LAWYERS.

What is without doubt the greatest
book in the world TO reason and to
reach right conclusions through orig
inal sources of reasoning is Black
stone. No man can give thoughtful
study TO - pages, no one can fol-
low his fine points of reasoning with
out gathering a profound respect for
the ability of the man who is an
apostle of Blackstone This English
law giver had not intended to write
textbook on law. A company OF
English gentlemen engaged him to
lecture to them When the series
of lectures had been finished, they
were gathered and published in book
form and the law as set ont in those
books is still the standard.
Governor Robert l.. Williams is
an apostle of the great English law
giver. He has an exalted opinion
of the ability of tie man who has
pored over that series of lectures
and his exalted opinion OF the men
Of the profession leads him to select
the most Of his appointments from
members Of the legal profession.

other ground than proof.
\ great number of those who have
embraced the teaching and practice
of Christian Science have done so
after having exhausted every known
argument against it, and in spite
of their prejudice, have been con-
vinced that it is reasonable and dem
Onstrable.
Christian Science is answering the
question that has reverberated down
through the centuries, What is
Truth?" by proving that man has not
two lives. one to be destroyed, and
one to be saved, but that he is spir-
itual now, and that an understanding
of this fact will free him from all
that is mortal and discordant. This
freedom is realized in the degree that
his spiritual understanding increases.

Christmas plum buildings have of
late years become the toys of fashion.
In the good old days. when the Yule

But of greater Importance Is what

of the very richness of its ingredients

By midnight the town was there,
and Daily saw among the crowd Har-
ris, his old saw-fler, young Anwor-
thy and several more of those who
had deserted to the god of gold. They
kept sheepishly in the background,
but they were there for the common
good that Daily had spoken of-they
would have answered a call from a
real enemy in such a crisis, for that
is the way of the West.

tin cups of coffee-she had brought a
great iron kettle and boiled it over a
fire on the ground-stopped before

Here the bed of dry needles was
thick and rotted into ideal condition
for that most treacherous of fires, the

creeps hither and thither like a thief
In the night, breaking out, unexpect-

There had been two years of unusu-
ally heavy foliage and the rains had
ceased early, so that the time was
opportune for a forest fire.

These it was that took the fire run

swiftly along the surface, catching
here and there a sapling, which in its
turn, if it vas not felled quickly by
a blow from a broadax, reached up for
the lower branches of some full-grown
pine. That was the thing they fought
against, these men of the timberlands.
for If once a great pine took up the
fire with a roar like the sea IN a hol-

horror of the country would start

Within an hour after Siletz left,
men began to arrive by the road-on

foot, for there is no call like that OF

cruits. They put themselves under

beating out the surface flames. cutting
every sapling in sight, digging
trenches to head off any ground fires
that might be started.
But destiny was against the Dill

and despite the trained work, for ev-

the flames through the underground

be ignorant, and where he was the
head with his interests at stake he
must make himself competent.
By night Daily was grim and silent,
hoarse with shouting, and he stamped
into the porch, where the women
watched the flames that fared red

happy, wide awake family of
General Grant settled in the
White House. 1t was just
fourscore years on March 4 since Mrs.
Washington was executive mistress
During their eight years In the White
House the Grants were counted an un-
usually happy home circle.
All their holidays were marked with
simplest pleasures and unselfish char
tiles. Mrs. Grant was very systematic
in her charities. She made lists and
distributed Christmas gifts with wis
dom and good sense. There was no
end of calls upon them soon after the
war. and none went away empty.
In 1870 President Grants father
spent Christmas at the White House.
The sons came home from college, and
Nellie and her friends made the old
house ring with good times. Mrs. Ere
mont gave them a dancing reception,
and the sewing club of which Nellie
was the president had a wonderful
Christmas entertainment, furnished
mostly from the White House.
General Grant. like General Sher.

their pleasures. One Christmas the
matinee was 1.-THE adventures and
misadventures of Clown and Panta-

to go.
"Now. father. please" urged Nellie
Grant. and Yes, father, you promised

said, "We'll go, all of us, and take the
whole tribe"
