CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Rochester POst-Express: The project
now we'll under way for another pre-
sumably ornate and costly Christian
Science church in our city. so soon
after the erection Of the present
attractive East avenue edifice, sug-
gests consideration of the essential
teaching of that prosperous and
growing sect. The doctrine of the
unity OF God and man. that form OF
pantheistic mysticism which empha-
sizes the immanence and the close.
| unseverable relation between man
and his Maker, is the fundamental
basis both of Christian Science and
the so-called New Thought. Follow
ing the ancient Vedanta philosophy.
Christian Science denies the exist
ence of matter and sees 1t as a
manifestation of spirit. Following
unconsciously perhaps, the old Sank
hya philosophy of the orient, the New
Thought recognizes the existence OF
matter, but teaches the possibility OF
achieving freedom from its limita-
lions. The testimony of the senses
as to the reality Of matter Is not de-
MED as long as We are inmanent in
it, but the teaching is that this Inn
manency can be transcribed and
then the seeming reality Of matter
disappears. To both beliefs, there
fore, matter is an Illusion; spirit the
one reality. In both the indissoluble
unity of God and man is proclaimed
as a fact which can be realized. Both
teach that the road to realization is
through affirmations; and their be-
levers testify to the efficacy Of these
up to a certain point in creating or
bringing into manifestation desirable
conditions.
We hold no brief for Christian Sci
ence and are merely considering GER
tain phases of it from an outside
point of view. But it is evident that
the belief that man Is spirit, that
spirit is creative and that affirma-
tons are potent to bring Into ma
terial manifestation health, pros
perity and the hearts desire Is the
essence and doctrinal magnet, so to
speak, OF this growing cult. 1t is
apparently satisfying many souls.
Frightening many lives; and is I'M
deniably building some costly and
beautiful church edifices nowadays.
It might be added that Schopen.
nauer, writing in 1861, before either
Christian Science or New Thought
were known by those names, reached
the conclusion that the pantheistic
mysticism of the orient was destined
, soon or late to tinge and modify the
western faiths. Elk oriente lux, he
said. and events are bearing his pre-
diction out. But it may be noted
that these partial restatements of
the Hindu philosophy depart in i'm
portant respects from the older
teachings. The Vedanta lays great
emphasis on the power Of affirma-
tons, but does not consider 1t right
eous to use them either for health
or material gain. Apropos of this,
attention may properly be called to
the fact that professional healers
under both the modern systems here
considered who commemorative their
faith or gifts or healing powers tend
to lose them. Is it that the old idea
is right that spiritual truth cannot
be successfully trafficked in, bought
or sold?

T1NKER1NG WITH NATURAL LAWS.

In some measure the :, new pr1ce lever pro-
phets are to blame for such boarding as may be
found to exist not only in foodstuffs but in other
commodities. The department of commerce
and the department of labor both endorsed the
proclamation of a new price level by Professor
Irving Fisher, of Yale university. Professor
Fishers argument was that of an economist and
was in the main sound process of reasoning,
when his premises are admitted and they have
not been denied There is no evidence Of any
lack of sincerity or Interior motive in the propa-
ganda of higher prices nor can the fact be de-
MED or the necessity of the fact to some extent
be doubted But the wide declaration that the
worlds need and our own prosperity were to
both cause and make possible an era of high
prices high wages, high costs of all kinds has
iunquestionably stimulated the speculative
trend of much of our business. The holding OF
commodities for higher prices is natural re-
suit of belief that higher prices are to be. And
the holding of commodities is fatal break In
the play of supply and demand. 1t is danger
Gus tinkering with laws of nature and the play
of supply and demand probably comes as close
to natural law as humans get when allowance
is made for human variance from all static law.
There is indeed new price level, but whether
it be an artificial product necessity is to
be determined That the level is higher than it
need be or can longer be is the general belief OF
our public.
President Wilson is undoubtedly to blame for
the fact that the situation in this country is so
critical. All his attention has been given to re-
arranging the world, while he has let the weeds
that tend most to destroy it grow up under his
very feet. It is good lesson. The first quail
fcation of a sound league of nations is that the
nations that form it be sound themselves. But
the president let interior problems go until they
have engulfed us-even as he did IN 1916, when
the railroad brotherhoods presented their de-
mands. Now, as then, if he had given his at
tention to the problem six months before, it
would not have become acute.
Sometimes doubt is entertained that even
league of nations would revive the ancient IN
dustrv of beating swords into plowshares.

SIMPSON
is SENT TO
PENAL FARM
Lowell Business Man Found
Guilty of Assault on
Young Girl.
ESPECIAL 10 IHE rIMEsl


CROWN POINT. Ind, May Is
Samuel Simpson was found guilty of
assault and battery in the criminal
court here this morning and sentenced
to six months in >the state penal farm.
He was also fined $500. The jury was
out from three O'Clock yesterday after
noon until seven-thirty this morning
before they could arrive at a verdict
and the story is that there were some
heated arguments indulged in during
the long watches Of the night by the
jurors. some OF whom wanted to send
Simpson to the peniteRtiary. The ac-
cusation against Simpson, who is one OF
the best known men in the southern
part of the county in both business and
politics. was brought by Marjory Nor
gan. a 13 year old orphan child. and the
assault took place in a rear room in
Simpsons place of business last winter
when the girl was making purchase
there. The case was bitterly fought
and one of the most sensational affairs
of it's kind held in Lake county in many
years 1t is believed that the adroit
cross-examination by Atty. w. ]. Nc
Aleer for the defense saved the defend
ant from prison.

ed in the past and as the time ap-
proaches for the council to once morr
act upon the matter. advocates Of the
move find their numbers increasing
rapidly.
Just how the council stands on the
matter is not definitely known but 1t is
believed by those close to the aldermen
that a majority would vote for a capa-
BILE woman. Alderman Frank Martin is
emphatic in his approval of the propn-
sition. by all means a woman should
be elected member of the school board. =
