Spiritual Healing

It was not many years ago thai
Christian Science was severely criti

healing is as essential a part of the
Christian religion as preaching. not

variably the Injunction Of Jesus to
preach the gospel was coupled with
the command to heal the sick. The
claim of Christian Science that the
works of Jesus were examples to all
humanity throughout all time OF what
may be accomplished through an un

met with most emphatic opposition
To claim the ability TO heal the sick
as did Jesus was called heresy. And

Now what is our authority for be

believe, that the material senses Of
seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling anC

faculties seem real and essential to us
What is it that bears to us evidence oil
their reality? Why, nothing but this
mortal or carnal mind which is back
OF all material phenomena and which
st. Paul tells us must be put Off. II
is the human or mortal mind, instead
of matter, that sees, feels, tastes
smells and hears. Take away the
mind of a mortal and what testimony
can the five physical senses utter
Completely silence his mentality and
all the argument in the world canno,
make a man believe that he sees, feels

material nature impresses him. He Is
not even cognizant Of the mortal body

ii should be perfectly apparent that
the evidence OF the senses cannot cor

of man governed by an immutable law

Therefore let the expenditure be so fast

The United States is the only nation
on earth now in position to make the
cost of war prohibtive to Germany. Our
actual and effective wealth and produc-

OF Great Britain, France and Germany
combined. And our present war ex-
pendltures are not proportionally more
than one-third those Of England.
Great Britain will raise this year by

Sir: If there are any idle hands or any
hands with not as much as they can do. will
you please appeal to them through the col

Department of the Needlework Guild Of
America in preparing comfort kits for the
boys who leaving for cover there? The
War Relief Department has been asked by
the Draft Board to make up kits for the
boys who have no friends or homes They
have been also asked for kits for the re-
cruits for the Polish regiment, who are
leaving in small groups. call has also
come in for fifty hospital kits each month.
They are also working on 800 refugee kits
that to be finished by July for women
and children in France and Belgium. Also
to be ready by July l are thirty-two kits
for one of our large new submarines, and
last, but by no means least, we have been
requested to make 106 kits for the "Blue
DEVILS" to be given them when they leave
for France.
The kits for the refugee women and chill

Beauties of Initiation
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: When two such eminent financial
doctors as The Tribune and "The Tines
disagree as to the cause and cure of infa-
tion, who shall decide? Is initiation such a
dreadful disease after all? The man that
makes two blades of grass grow where one
grew before, or brings about big increase
in the production of any form of wealth, Is
an infationist, is he not?
No matter how it may be financed, no ma.
tion can engage in warfare on a gigantic
scale without imitation. 1t is true that
wealth cannot be increased by taxation
On the contrary, the taxation of wealth
tends seriously to curtail it's production.
But neither can wealth be increased by the
issuing of bonds or by the printing Of
paper money. Likewise. the laying Of
water pipes will not create water, but II
there is reservoir of water somewhere up
in the hills and the pipes are connected
with that reservoir. the water can be dis.
tributed where needed.
And so, forms of paper credit may be
connected in such a way with the human,
mechanical and chemical energies of our
planet. and, what is cf equal importance.
with the planet itself, as to lead to vast
increase in the production Of wealth But
it is great mistake to issue interest bear
ing bonds.
Bonds, if used at all, should be issued in
denominations of SIS or $40 and up, bearing
no interest, no promise to pay Ia promise
to receive Unsteady, and made full legal
tender at their face value, for all debts.
public and private. Otherwise the burden
of interest will become too great for the
people to bear. 1t will keep them forever
enslaved to the bondholders.
Before the world can progress much
further along the path of democracy the
prevailing systems of finance and taxsflon
will have to be radically changed and the
bonded debt system is one of the things
that will go into the discard.

Unpolluted Water

This city will greet with profound re-
lief Governor Whitmans approval of the
Slater bill creating q commission to adj
minister a state reservation, including
the sites acquired for the Mohansic State
Hospital and the Boys Training School,
at Yorktown With the creation Of this
reservation the last chance vanishes that
the water supply of New York will be
polluted by. sewage from state institu-
tions. So long as it was possible to use
these sites for the purposes for which
they had been purchased just so long the
metropolis would have been in danger Of
an epidemic of typhoid or some other
dread disease the germs of which Werc
carried by the Croton water, into which
the sewage from those institutions was
bound to seep.
The bill just become law represents
the victorious end Of long and bitter
fight to prevent such contingency. The
state authorities, having made their plans
and acquired land for the institutions in
question: naturally objected to abandon
ing them. Upstate political and real
estate interests opposed the contention
that there was any danger from sewage
if properly treated at disposal plant.
Bills introduced in the interest of the
city were defeated not one year. but at
the succeeding sessions of the Legislat-
ure. But the fight, begun and ably led
by the Merchants Association of the
city, was too vigorous to be overcome,
and eventually legislative commission
was appointed to inquire into the matte,
and to see what could be done with the
institution sites if the original plans had
to be given up. 1t was on the recon.
mendation Of this commission that the
sites were set aside as a state park. and
the commission went even further by
recommending that the state take steps
to prevent the placing Of state institu-
tions within the watershed of any munic-
lpallty's water supply.
The purity Of any city's water can
not be too vigorously protected New
York has spent vast sums in acquiring
its water supply, and the very county
some of whose citizens sought to block
the bills to protect that supply obtains
water for certain municipalities from
this city's mains. An epidemic, once
started, cannot be confined by city lines.
Thus the rest of the state may Join the
metropolis in qualification over the final
step in the plans to keep pure the drink
ing water of more than 100000 people.
