Cures of Christian Science.

Cures of Christian Science.
The natural effect of human faith
combined with hypnosia is the basis
for any actual cure produced by Chris.
tian Science. Here is what happens:
If Catholic applies to a Christian
Scientist for relief, he is told that he
must first get permission from his
Church. Here is a demand for the
same surrender of the will, that hyp-
notism eXacts. A Catholic priest very
properly tells him to have nothing to
do with theory, that is replete with
blasphemies,- blasphemy against God,
with Whom it identifies the human
mind; blasphemy against Christ,
Whom it puts on level with sinful
healers; blasphemy against Christ's
Redemption, since it denies all sin;
blasphemy against the Church, for
whose teaching it substitutes the
crazy theory of the craziest book in
print. If, however, the Catholic in his
frenzy to get well surrendefs his
Faith, and his common sense belief in
at the suggestion of the healer delud.
ing himself that there is no sickness,
where there is, it is possible that such
an act of blind and unreasoning con-
fidence may stir him profoundly and
in the intoxication of it he may ex-
perience physical effects either good
or bad, just as one could not go
through a performance of the Holy
Rollers" without being some way
changed. Of the bad, it is needless
to say, we never hear. The tempo
rary amelioration, if it does come, soon
passes away. People all die in spite
of Christian Science, and thus the
whole theory is shown to be delu-
sion. 1t is perfectly foolish to ascribe
the failure of Christian Science in this
or that case to a lack of faith in the
subject, since all who claim to have
been cured, and who, therefore, have
more faith subsequently than they had
at the first cure, eventually succumb
to death. Eventually, therefore, it
fails in all cases. The healing pro-
cess of Christian Science is purely
natural, and very restricted. 1t could
be carried out by giving the same meas
ure of confidence to a good doctor with
the same success and without a de-
mand for the awful sacrifice of all the
convictions of holy Faith and human
reason. To make Faith a religion of
health, we must bear in mind, is
utterly un-Christian. For our Faith
we should be ready to die. Rather
than surrender our Faith, we should
be willing to suffer. God may demand
of us the exercise of virtues, which
have place only in suffering. Mother
Alphonsa (Grace Hawthorne) has re-
Gently testified to the marvellous vir-
tues of the poor incurables under her
charge. They are more fortified by
Catholic Faith, which prepares them
| for Heaven, than they would be by the
delusion of Christian Science, which
would prepare them for Hell.
Conclusion.
To sum up: the Christian religion
embodies system of truths proved by
many signs besides the sign of heal
ing. Healing of itself is not neces-
sarily sign of Faith. To be such it
must be extraordinary healing, such
as requires the power of God. God
will not work this miracle or any
other in favor of error. If, however,

ing. Healing of itself is not neces-
sarily sign of Faith. To be such it
must be extraordinary healing, such

will not work this miracle or any

credulity is naturally beneficial, and
it seems to be, belief in error especial
ly in its emotional stages may con-
tribute to cures in those limited cases
and in that limited degree in which
human faith in a doctor or medicine
may be curative. But the extraordi-
nary cures such as are described in
Acts, or such as according to careful
testimony take place at Lourdes, can
be wrought only by the power of God
setting His seal Of truth on Christian
Belief.

WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN

Forgery, flight, exile, imprisonment malignant cancer and hover ing death; these sum up the career of George F. Kenny, once a well-liked, trusted business man of this city, now q stricken criminal.
 It was not a strange, spectacular career He built up confidence, and then he betrayed it-and for a little money It was not one mans lone daring adventure in lawlessness--his gains were his friends losses, and it is said his perfidy brought one of them to business defeat, discourage ment and death.
 What did it profit him? It was sheer loss; it was such loss as could never be recouped it was failure and ruin in the uttermost.
 He who losses money may regain it. He who losses business may build it up again. But he who loses the confidence of the friends that life had raised up for him loses the irrecov- erable. And he who loses his sense of honor and his desire that every dollar he owns shall measure exactly with honorable service rendered. loses that which few ever regain, and those only through pains unutterable.
 q don't care what they do to me now" says Kenny. 'They can't do much. My cancer will kill me soon. J But they" can do nothing at all to Kenny comparable with what he has done to himself He has been his own jaler since ever he put his hand to a crooked deed The tragic stu pidity, the utter loss of wrongdoine is once more exemplified in this poor wretched man.-Detroit News.

And how fortunate the lot that has brought him to America, where he is more sure of living his days in peace than he could do anywhere in Europe! The chances are small that any sud den destruction such as has fallen like a bolt upon the Belgians will as- sail him here. The opportunity for him to eat unmolested the bread that his own hands have earned is here better, far better, than anywhere in all the world. The probability that what he is able to save his children will enjoy here exceeds what apper- tains to any other corner of the earth. Here he can build in security; here he can lay up store; here he can des- cend to d decent and Christian grave.
 Therefore every inducement for be- ing first and foremost an American citizen, considering exclusively Amer ira's interest, is presented to our new est immigrant as well as to the scions of our older stock.

I was irregular {. .. and was down in bed about all the time. I had chills and fever with these troubles for at least a year, and a great deal of dizziness, headache and backache.
 When l was sick at each month. l had to stay in bed all the time, because my back would ache and my head would swim so that would almost faint if stood on my feet.
 I endured this for about three years. Finally, began to doctor with a doctor. He did not help me much Then he recommended Cardui, and I began to take it. I took About one bottle and felt much better. have taken whole lot now, and feel just all right. have no backache, headache or dizziness now. I think women are foolish to suffer when they can take so helpful remedy as Cardui, and surely praise 1t to every one"
