TRIUMPH FOR RELlolus FREEDOM

IL would be impossible attach too much import ance to the decision of the court of appeals handed down few days ago. in the of Willis Vernon Cole. C.

 Although this paper has no Christian Science af- filiatons. 1t pointed in these columns at the time that Mir Coles conviction involved a serious attack upon the religious liberty which is of the chief foundation stones of this republic and that t would be well if the question could be properly gone into by higher court. It is most gratifying there fore, to be able record the court of appeals has reversed the conviction of the lower and has ordered trial. Whether the County Medical Society the prosecuting officials will think 1t wise to risk another defeat is probematca for it would seem to be foregone conclusion that the re- suit would only be still more complete vndication for Christian Science
 Mir. Cole. long a of most distinguished stand Ing as sculptor and poet, stands before the world today completely justified and any further attack upon him would of nothing but religious persecution
 It is distinctly held by the court of appeals that while the practice of healing by Christian Scientists would within definition of medical practice the statute expressly exempts those who in the ment of bodily ills follow out the any reli- zion Christian Science practitioners protected by the exemption according to the decision.
 Nr Cole has rnadn formal statement in gard intelligent and everywhere as follows:
 Tn rendering this decision the court of appeals has struck note of equity and given a fair deal to Christianity. The great Empire State make her sons and daughters criminals for walking footsteps of Jesus Christ. The command the Mas ter to heal the sick and preach the Gospel to every hvlng creature cannot be annued feel that this is victory for the elemental principles of liberty and that ultimately doctors well Christian Scientists will benefit by it.

WOMEN OF BRAVE DAYS

It was natural that the of the revolution and the women of the civil should have been radical, outspoken and determined. because they aspired to ar understanding of those great political lssues-and they were lifted out of domesticity and frivolity by their active cooperation with men
 Women have always ranked with men, says Ida Tarbe "in actual capacity and achievement" and it IS certain that in these two crucial instances they spiritually to the level of their husbands They sought no immunity from suffering. they made gnoble plea for peace. They posed neither innocent vic- tim's of mans combativeness moral of his supreme self sacrifice. The notion that is wrong because 1t involves the anguish of would have been repellant to their souls the notion that war be averted by the wisdom of women would have been repellant to their under standings. They deemed it their right to know what issues stake, and their privileges give denyingly 10 their countrys cause Courage their inheritance from their pioneer ancestors. and pain proudly borne because it the price of freedom and national life.
 There Is something very inspiring in the contem pation of these stout-hearted. clear minded women who so faintly resemble the chimney corner great grandmother of our fancy.-Agnes Repplier in Har per's Magazine.
