LETTERS TO EDITOR
Christian Science Reply

To the Editor of The Age-Hera1d:
 In the report of sermon published in The Age Herald August 26, headed "A Religion That Satisfies" the preacher has taken it upon himself to pass judgment upon Christian Science, stating that it is doomed" The speaker also refers to honest search CTS for peace, happiness and joy which only the religion of Jesus Christ can satisfy"
 Christian Scientists are perfectly willing that their religion shall stand or fall, according to whether or not it is the religion of Jesus Christ. The Christian Science churches are made up mainly of honest searchers for a religion which satisfies and furnishes proof of it's utility. Christian Scient- ists regard it as the restoration and diviEely promised fulfillment of the re- ligion practiced by Christ Jesus.
 It is thus spoken of by Mrs. Eddy on page 365 of Miscellaneous Writ ings:" If Christian Science lacked the proof of it's goodness and utility. it would destroy itself; for it rests alone on demonstration. It's genius iS right thinking and right acting, physical and moral harmony and the secret of it's success lies in supplying the universal need of better health and better men"
 The speaker also refers to Christian Science as offering selfish happi- ness. It is plain, however, that he has a misconception of the first prin- ciples of it's teaching, inasmuch as the first chapter of Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy commences with these words: '"The prayer that reforms the sinner and. heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God spiritual understanding with Him, an unsettled love. Regardless of what others say or think on this subject, I speak from experience" Tn Mrs. Eddy's writing there are more than 75 references to the necessity and vir- tue of unselfish service and self -abne- gation.
 The speaker rightly said: "The mind craves after, searches for, and rests in truth" Thousands of weary wan derers, searching after peace and health, are finding in Christian Science a more spiritual understanding of God and of man as made in His likeness and also gaining priceless possession of unsettled love, better health and lon earth peace good will toward men

INSPECTOR VNSON
 STATES THE FACTS Central of Georgia Man Is Enthusiastic Over Great Improvement

W. L. Vinson. who for several years has been in the employ of the Central of Georgia railroad as inspector, living on R. D. No. 3 out of Macon, Ga., made the following grateful statement of the benefits he had derived from the use of Tanlac:
 'I was so rundown and wornout that I didn't feel of much use to myself or anybody else,' said MT. Vincent T wasn't sick a-bed or anything like that but had bad backaches and it seemed like the food I ate wouldn't digest at all. After meal I would be in misery for hours from a sour stomach and from gas that formed and swelled me up. My energy was about all gone and I never felt fit for anything.
 T have taken two and a half bottles of Tanlac now and my digestive organs are in fine condition. I can eat heartily, sleep sound and feel well all the time and it's all due to Tanlac. My wife started taking it also after seeing how it helped me and we both think it is the finest medicine we ever saw or heard of I certainly am glad to rec ommend Tanlac to everyone who is suf- fering from rundown condition and stomach trouble.'
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- siyely by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.-Adv.

 chine Here

Another Age-Herald man is on the cas- ualty lists, according to the official data given out by the war department yes terday.
 Arthur Van Os is placed among the wounded seriously in the days casual ties. His emergency home address is 5>a5 Norfolk street, Philadelphia, and his nearest of kin, Rosco Van Os, at that address.

He was monotype op- orator and was the first operator to be employed upon a monotype when it was installed in The Age Herald building His friends upon the paper did not know last night the unit to which he was at, tached, but it was thought likely that he was with his home troops, the Penn sylvanians, perhaps the Twenty-eighsh division, which is made up of the Penn sylvania national guard.
 The Twenty-eighth division was immc- diately on the left of the Rainbow di- vision when the Americans made their celebrated dash across the Ourcq after crossing Il c Marne, .,ad II tsp robabIe that Van Os was wounded close to the scene where so many of Alabamas S boys who are in the Rainbow division shed their blood.
