BANISH ERROR IS AIM,
OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Destruction by means of mental pro-
cesses Of the desire to sin, abandonment
through mental means OF the unhealthy
ideas OF sickness, unhappiness worry.
fear, and other discor1ant conditions
were the dominant themes of the lee
ture Monday noon on Christian Science
delivered by Virgin O. Strickler, G. s.
B.. at the Majestic theater. A large
audience greeted the speaker and paid
rapt attention to his utterances
In explaining the Christian Science
faith Mr. Strickler said that Christian
Science aims to destroy erroneous re-
ligious beliefs by substituting a knowl-
edge OF truth in place thereof, and TO
destroy out of the human mind all evil
qualities by planting good qualities in
their stead. II wages relentless war
fare against all wrong mental qualities.
It seeks to substitute love In place OF
hate. unselfishness in place Of selfish
ness, honesty in place of dishonesty and
truth in place OF error II lays tre-
mendous emphasis upon the necessity
for bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ" q
Cor. l0:5), az the Bible commands 1t
shows that the cause OF all disease and
sin is mental, and not physical, and
that both sickness and sin are de-
stroyed by the evangelization OF the
human mentality with truth and love.
II teaches without any reservation
whatever that the truth taught and
and applied, is sufficient without drugs
or any material lneals to heal the sick
and regenerate the sinner, and Chris.
tian Scientists everywhere are engaged
daily in demonstrating and proving this
to be true.

WATCHMAN BEATEN
IN FIRE, IDENTIFIES
NEGRO SUSPECTED
Black Is Placed on Docket
After Being Confronted by
Victim of Reed & DueCker
Blaze.

That is the man." said w. +,
Eagle, night Waterman for Reed e.
Duecker, from a bed in st. Joseph s
hospital Monday at noon. as he pointed
bandage- -swathed hand at Buck
Dickerson, rs. negro truck driver for
the firm.
Dickerson, with another negro, had
been taken to the hospital by Detective
Chief Jake Gwaltney and Detective AL
Hurst. so that the watchman might
identify one or both of them as men,
bers of the gang of burglars who shot
at him early Saturday morning, beat
him into unconsciousness, then left his
unconscious form to be devoured by
flames which caused $3.50, 900 to $780,
900 damage before they were ex-
tinguished by firemen who found
Eagles body in time to prevent him
from being burned to death.
Eagles Identification of Dickerson
caused the latter to be placed on the
police docket when he was returned to
headquarters. Charges against the
negro are assault to murder, arson and
carrying a pistol.
By Eagles Identification, Dickerson
will be tried as the burglar who, when
discovered by the night watchman
opened fire, which the watchman re-
turned, until his pistol was empty,
when another member of the gang
struck him down from behind with a
slung shot. Police believe the gang
then set fire to the building, hoping
the watchman's body would be burned
The second negro. small, yellow
man, Eagle could not identify. He
told Chief Gwaltney and Hurst that
he wanted to think over the second
mans case for while. so the yellow
negro still is held on the secret docket
Eight or 10 relatives of the accused
men crowded the police station Mon
day morning, as the men were led oui
handcuffed, to be taken to the hos
pital for Identification, These relatives
employed Harry Holman attorney, Il
represent both men. Holman held 8
brief conversation with the men, In
the presence of the detective chief.
Dickerson, who lives at 943 Annie
street. Klondyke, has been employed
by Reed & Duecker for two years
and a half as truck driver.
Eagles condition Monday morning
showed so much Improvement thai
any doubt that he would not recover
from his experience with the burglars
and the flames, practically was dis.
PEELED. He still is weak from the blow
on the head, which caused conclusion
of the brain, and from burns on his
hands, caused by the onrushing flames
from which firemen saved him. Boil
his hands are heavily swathed il
bandages.
Dickerson and the other negro wer,
arrested Saturday night by Detective.

URGE APPROPRIATION
FOR ISOLATION WARDS

The trustees OF the General hospital
will endeavor To have an additional ap-
propriation included in the hospital
budget this year for building an isola-
ton hcsrtal The cost Is estimated at
about $1,000
r. O. Johnston, chairman OF the
board Of trustees believes that nothing
in connection with the hospital is so
much needed At present an old build
ing is In use for cases which must be
isolated, but there are only five rooms,
and the need for additional facilities is
imperative.
None OF the larger hospitals have iso-
lation wards, and cases Of meningitis or
Of such contagious diseases as must be
isolated, must be sent to the General
hospital. or the patients must be iso-
lated in their homes.
Recently one such case was sent to
the General hospital from the Baptist
hospital, another from st. Joseph's,
while there were several others who
could not be accommodated because OF
lack Of room.
Members Of the hospital staff will join
