CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The good book tells us that IN Tie
,,,,,+;+,,de of counselors there IS WIS
dom We might observe that IN tHe
wear 1916, the multitude Of ehufches
affords ample means for everybody
TO make their salvation sure Inc
number has long since passed the one
hundred mark and is still climbing
with no Indication whatever OF any
diminution. !,
The Gazette received u marked
Richmond paper this morning, ana
upon looking over the editor iouna
an article which would fill nearly
two columns Of this page On Chfis-
tian Science. 1t was blue-penclIed'
avid was a synopsis Of lecture de-
livered on this subject in the capital
CITY. The paper was not sent by the
nnhlishers to this office, but by some
one interested in promrlgatlng the
theology of the late Mrs. Eddy VINO
dos;rod the Gazette to reprint the LEG
ture. We regret that space VIII not
permit us to do so.
The lecturer in his discourse aver
red that while healing is not the
prime object Of this cult, it is mel
dental, and he referred to many cases
in which ne alleged Christian Science
worked wonders.
The fact remains, notwithstandlng'
that deaths do occur among ad-
herents to this faith and that no one
can drive away the unwclcome visitor.
The Bible tells rs that it is appoint
ed.to man once to die,and that all Will
be compelled eventually to pay the
debt of nature. This seems TO be an
end to all controversy.
Inspiration assures that the time
is coming when there will be 10 more
death, neither sorrow nor crying,
when God will wipe away all tears
from our eyes. Present conditions
prove conclusivcly that the world
has not yet reached that time. Every
church adopts this comforting
truth. Let us walt patiently until
that era shall have dawned.
Many years ago some Christian
Scientists effected an organization
in Alexandria. They met in the up
per story of the building now oc-
cupied by the Barrett Press. The
faith did not flourish in this city.

years. This great difference of time
arises from the diferencesof methods
Of CALCULATION. The, Journal says the
first-named period is reached through
geological estimates, founded on
sedimentation and stratum forma-
ton.
Human history extends back about
six thousand years. The age of the
planet before man was placed upon
it has perple;sed antiquarlans, geo
lcgists and others from time IN
memorial. The oldest book in the
world (Genesis) tells that 'sin the
beginning God created the heavens
and the earth" Hence it is impos-
sible for US to say when the earih
assumed its present form IN order
that man could exist upon it. Hugh
Miller read and thought much. Ills
productions have been regarded as
standard. Yet the question overtaX-
ed his brain and he committed sui
eide.
Our Ohio cotempcrary tells US
that our planet is 1,5oo,OOO,Ooo years
old, figures far beyond the conapfe,
hension of any human being, afo
they only are approximate. MANY
years ago a party Of scientists WeEs
making excavations in Italy lhey
we're computing the age OF the earVh
and every time they encountea d
new stratum they calculated 1t re
required millions of years to MAKE
such formation. They had run Inc
age of the world way up INTO the
millions when they discovered a con
way down in the earth which mac
been minted in the days OF ths
Caesars.

WAY TO FIGHT HIGH PRICES.

Every vacant lot in cities shou!l

ing to A. J. Driscoil, president o
the NIid-City Citizens Association
who spoke at meeting OF the asso
cation in the United States Savings
Bank Hall, in Washington, last night
Nh. Driscoll suggested that the as.
sociaticn should appoint a committee
to rent vacant lots and see that they
are properly farmed. He stated there
are acres of ground in all America!
cities on which vegetables could be
raised.
The a&ove has afio,ucd 4. theme
for comment before. Foreigners. who
have Decn compelled to reside in
cramped quarters i'll European cities
upon coming to America often OBJ.
serve that acres of ground whicl:
could be prGGtably cultivated remain
idle all TIE year around. They cast
their eyes upon spacious back yards
and ask the owners why they are
ret made to bring forth. Continuing.
they tell US that such spots in Ger
many. England or France would bs
made to grow cough potatoes, cab
b&gc, etc, to furnish families through
out the wear.
There is ar abundance of unculti-
waited land both within and around
Alexandria. Potatoes have recently
been soaring iii price, as have also
other truck, and should the above
hint be acted upon many people could
grow enough standard vegetables to
render it unnecessary TO patrcnizc
the market or green groceries.
