One Of the weakest points in our
civilization today is our failure to
stress the importance of moral train
ing upon young men and young
women. 1t is our duty to inspire
them with such determination to
do and be something in this world,
that they should feel it a disgrace
onf to be selfsustaining and to be of
service to mankind, rather than a
parasite upon the public. Let's have
q purpose in life and carry it out. 1t
is incumbent upon parents, rich
or poor. to teach our children that
to work is not a disgrace, but that II
;s q moral and righteous obligation
placed upon the whole human race
bv the Divine Plan. The child who
is brought up in the belief that Tor
him or i,er to work is unnecessary
;s failure in after life ninety'nlne
times out of an hundred. \

In Defense of the Sparrow.
MIR Editor:

Mr. Editor
want to say something in de-
fense of the much abused English
sparrow. | have a tobacco patch of
six acres and have so far not used
one ounce of paris green or any
other poison on it, and have meyer
wormed my tobacco. When we are
suckering we look for them but
don't find many. This is due to the
work of the sparrows. My field is
always full of them. They come
from all over town, and you can see
them fly back with worms in their
mouths. Other tobacco farmers
who live close to town tell me they
are not bothered with worms. If the
tobacco worms the sparrows destroy
will offset the other damages done
by them, for one am thanful for
their presence. H A MILLER.

The first load Of tobacco received

tobacco here for the past three

Clever Correspondent" '. Welcb.

The Plain Dealer of Nov. 10th cen
tanned letter from Paul Geratv which
contained reference to Christian Sci
ence which attracted the attention of
Willard J. WEIGH, of Iowa City, who is
evidently the state press agent for that
organization, who wrote in reply a let
Ter which we forwarded to Geraty. Mr.
Geraty took up the matter and replied
at once, but his letter was delayed IN
the mails for some reason and reached
US too late for last weeks paper. We
leave the merits of the controversy to
the judgment of our readers, and so far
as the Plain Dealer is concerned, the
matter is closed incident.
THE WEIGH LETTER.
In the issue of the Cresco Plain Deal
er of the 10th of Nov. find a vivid
and clever letter by young soldier
correspondents in which, among various
sprightly and pertinent illusions, he
makes one concerning Christian Sci
ence and its founder Mary Baker Eddy.
This allusion while of purely face
tious intent, is not apt, because it is
based on a misapprehension of what
Christian Science is, and misses the
vast significance of Mrs. Eddy's life,
and therefore you will doubtless allow
me to correct this misunderstanding.
After an amusing description of
camp trench digging, the writer says,
but as far as the imaginary Ger
mans (who are supposed to be crossing
an abandoned river and advancing to
the attack 60 to accelerate the move
ments of the company in getting ready
for them, l might say in passing that
Christian Science is failure and Mary
Baker has died in vain.
Christian Science is not human i'm
agination. 1t does not for instance,
teach sick man to imagine himself
we'll, a hungry man to imagine meal,
or poor man to imagine himself into
wealth. It does teach the correcting,
life giving action of the divine mind on
the sick and suffering human mind and
body, and that men should have in
them THAT mind which was also in
Christ Jesus"
Christian Science has succeeded in
hundreds of thousands being healed of
sin, disease, poverty, unhappiness and
ether ills that ''flesh is heir to-"
To these people and their neighbOrs,
Christian Science is no failure. They
know that they have not imagined
away these ills through its teachings.
but that they have proven their God
given dominion over wrong thinking,
and over the effects direct and indirect
of wrong thinking about God and man.
Az to Mary Baker Eddy. the loving
woman who gave to suffering world,
