It is true. rs Inplied by the critic,
the proposition. OF Christian Science is
a pleasant one, more especially to that
portion of humanity which is without
satisfying sense of religion or is
bound in mind or body by'sin or di
sease. Many come therefore, accepting
the promises of Jesus as the revealed
will of God, and are made "every whit
whole" Since they have then been
healed through the ministrations of
Christian Science, what is more reason
able than that they should be glad that
others in distress should also find their
equal and divinely ordained liberty as
children of God? The Christian
Science Church has and does nothing
that any other church is not at liberty
to have and to do in the way of preach
ing the Gospel and healing the sick;
and if, on account of the work of
Christian Science, any other churches,
as the Revival article AYERS TO be
fact, are having "to pad church re-
records" to keep from showing an APP
palling loss of membership" it would
seem to be simple, but efficient RENE
dy, since they believe in the 1words of
Jesus the Christ, that they too, do his
works also, as is vouchsafed by the
Master himself to "them that believe"
(See Mark 1916, John l4:12, James 5:15,
etc.
If those who come into Christian
Science have "a degree of learning and
a measure of refinement as your
writer declares they have, are they
thereby any the less able to know the
tree by its fruits?
And is there any better rule for
knowing the tree than by the "good
fruit" which it bringeth forth? Is
there safer or more scriptural test
for any one of us, or to which may be
referred those whom your writer de
scribes as "many perplexed, doubt
laden and sin cursed soul, [whol knows
not which way to turn or what voice
to heed?" tSee Matthew 7:15-21)

Save by His Life

Much is said in the criticism before
us, about the death of Jesus. Briefly,
Christian Science teaches upon this
subject, that the Master submitted to
all of the so called laws of matter or
carnal being, including its last and
most terrible thing called death. Yet,
because of the atonement atone ment,
or perfect understanding of Jesus with
the Father, divine Principle, he knew
that he was not subject to the flesh nor
to the suppositious laws thereof, but
that his whole existence was every whit
spiritual and dependent alone upon
Spirit, God. With this knowledge
consciously within himself, what was
there for the temptations of sensuous
ambition, APPETITE, all sin as we'll as the
scouage of death and all lesser evils to
do but to fall, impotent, into outer
darkness? "And this is Life eternal
said Jesus, "they that might know
thee, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom thou hast sent" John

Wherefore by Their Fruits Ye
Shall Know Them

The article before us contains one
line as follows: "Eddyism says Christ
is liar" This is entirely too serious
a matter to be treated at all lightly,
yet it strongly reminds one of the fam
Gus definition of crab. "a crab' a.
greed some eminent gentlemen, is
small red fish that walks backwards
whereupon one who knew declared the
definition correct with the exception
that crab was not a fish, was not red
and didn't walk backward. Likewise
Christian Science is not Eddyism and
it does not deny the Christ. 1t should
be observed that Christian Science is
no more "Eddysm" than falling apples
or the law of gravitation, is "Newton-
ism." Mrs. Eddy did not invent or
create Christian Science, she discover
ed it as she walked with elfdenial in
the land of the Spirit of Love and
hope for he human race.
Jesus commanded tMatthew 1881
"Heal the sick cleanse the lepers, raise
the dead, cast out devils; freely ye
have received, freely give.' For three
centuries or more Immediately follow
ing the time of Nazarine, the gospel
was preached the sick were healed and
the dead raised as matters of about e.
qually familiar practice by the Chris
tians of that time. See "Gibbon's
Rome."l This was done in accordance
with the commands as we'll as the
works of Jesus and he was the perfect
expression of the infinite Christ who Is
"before Abraham was. And he said
"If you love me, keep my command
ments." No where in the Bible is there
even hint of any end to this healing
ministry, but we have the ringing
promise "Lo | am with you always ev-
en- unto the end of the world" as we'll
as the wonderful assurance Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from
the above, and cometh down from the
Father of lights, with whom is no var
iableness, neither shadow of turning"
In these 18th and Goth centuries,
Christian Science is found in practical
degree preaching the gospel and heal
ing the sick according to the instruct
ions in the Scriptures and the practices
of the early Christians, and therefore
claims to be doing the will of the
Father. A Christian Scientist would
be afraid not to strive to do these
things for he knows that the scripture
says at John "a, ale that saith, |
know him, and keepth not his COM
mandments, is liar, and the truth is
not in him" Christian Science teaches
that the faithful followers of Christ
should have the "form of goodness
and should not be found denying the
power thereof for what is the divine
gift of God to men If not the spirit
of power, and of love, and Of sound
mind" as was, in loving confidence,
claimed by st. Paul? The universallity
of the divine command is sufficiently
established by the words "He that be-
lieveth" in text ale that believeth on
me, the works that do shall he do al
so;" and in another place Jesus said
these signs should "folow them that
believe"
The Monticellonian. [volume] (Monticello, Ark.) 1870-1920, 1916-04-13
The Christians Part

The Christian Scientist recognizes
the necessity of notifying the deeds
of the body "through the spirit" of
being "led by the spirit" that he may
not be "under the law" and those com
mandmends on which "hangs all the
law and the prophets" namely; "Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind-and thy neigh
Dor as myself"
Christian Scientists understand that,
according to the divine plan, the chill
dren of God have an estate beyond
compare, even "the prize of the high
calling of God in Jesus Christ" and are
content to press forward with all dill
gence for the full realization of this
very same prize. And should such a
thing be held up as matter of criti-
cism or ridicule, as is attempted in
your published article? How can the
Gospel of Love be other than glad
things?

Lxnchina in the South.

The Tuskegee Institutes records
show 60 lynchings for 1915 against
81 for 1914, nearly all in the South
ern States, though one or two dis
graced Illinois and Indiana. Another
fact that, while only three white
men We're among the victims in the
earlier year, no less than II, or 20
per cent. Of the total, were in the
list fer last year. which shows that
lynching is to Il large extent merely
popular amusement Georgia, the
most progressive OF the southern
states, has the worst record, and
Mississippi next There is said to be
a gradual awakening in the south
to wipe out the stigma of lynch law
and it is certainly high time. Such
a thing as lynching is simply un-
thinkable in New England and the
older portion of the North generally
1t ought TO be equally unthinkable in
the Burlington News.

studied from year to year TO note the
habits of growth. amount of winter
killing, yields, and so on.
The study of comparisons was begun
in 1911. when the varieties had all at
tained full maturity and were produc-
ing full crops. Good stands OF all va
rieties were obtained the first year. y
study Of individual years showed the
Turkestan. Sand Lucern, Grimm and

yield. none of them showing any win
ter killing the FIRST two years. The Win
Ter of 1928 was, however, Very Sc

over the state. The spring of 1915
showed various degrees of winter kill
ing in all the varieties except the
Grimm ana the native seed. These VA.
rieties. the Sand Lucern and Turkc-
stan, have shown no winter killing
since; the other varieties have to Il
slight degree.
The question therefore arises, Has
the type Of the plant anything to do
with its hardness? Probably il has.
This brings NJ the question, Is the
Grimm variety of sufficiently higher
value to make it WORTH while To pay
the advanced price for the seed? The
study Of types is an important one, ana
the farmer is interested in the one that
will make the most hay. VIII the

At the Colorado station the Baltic
