CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The following communication ex-
plains itself
DENVER, Colorado.
To The Meeker Herald:
Attention has been called to cert
ain misrepresentation regarding
Christian Science which have been
spread In your midst by means OF
preach,nents and pamphlets, amt
that your readers may be correctly
Informed the courtesy Of brief space
is requested.
One instance OF the unfair methods
used by those who are opposing their
own misconception Of Christian Sell
ence will suffice to uncover the error
In that opposition. In his attempt
to stay the irresistible advance OF
Christian Science u preacher is re-
ported to have advised his hearers
that II they wished to learn about
Christian Science they should read
q certain book written obviously for
the sole purpose of discrediting Chr
istian Science, and by one who had
never tested its teachings In practice.
That is like advising q seeker for an
Economical Information to read the
writings Of opponents of the proven
Cnperhican system. For 1t should
be understood that Christian Science
Ia. as its name indicates, the science
Of Christianity, and Ia capable of In
disputable proof. rs well rs being
sound in both the Christian and logi.
cal appeal Of its precepts.
Therefore honest seekers for truth
are urged to obtain and study the
Christian Science textbook, "Science
and Health with Key to Scriptures,
written by Mary Baker Eddy. This
book is. as its title states. . key to
the Bible, for by means Of it's teach
ings the Scriptural promises Of heal
ing. happiness,e and holiness are
found to be capable OF present day
verihcation. Any one who gains the
spiritual understanding OF God and
His laws Of harmony and perfection
M explained In Science and Health,
and honestly endervors to conform
his own thinking and living to these
laws, can prove their availability
and utility In the healing of the sick,
the destroying Of sin, and the slimi-
nation from his own experience Of
other discOrdant and disturbing con-
,ditiOns. As startling As this may

man With the tin whistle was thinking
about Rawlings, his dog at home, and
I'm convinced it put something into
his tune that was irresistible. For let

should come running down the steps

And the little cup had the surprising

cup ratified Importantly and gave every
indication of being ready for anything
after this.
On went the frolicking melody. On
came the pennies. The man with the
tin whistle almost forgot how cold his
feet were and that the rain had sue
ceeded in making his stockings very
wet and wretched: It really must have
been the tune, for everybody had a
coin and bit of greeting. So he
played and played and played. He
thought his luck would change If he
changed the tune, and he very nearly
blew the breath out of him, keeping
the notes dancing about in that dismal
place. Rawlings and he were going to
have the finest supper in all Christen-
dom, if whistling could do it.

some threw in Gimes, and an occasion

same one you are tootling now. And
that somebody decided that if you
could stand and whistle a jolly air in
all the cold and wet and drizZle, that
it was time to make himself brace up
and do something. And he did,. The
old lady twinkled harder than ever.
The man with the tin whistle wondered
what in the world she was going TO
say next. But she did not say any
thing for a minute. She whipped out
a pocketbook, snapped open the top,
took out a small, folded piece OF pa
per and handed it TO the man with The
tin whistle. Then she snapped her
pocketbook together, put Ii in her bag,
perked her head on one side and
chirped, Merry Christmas! The man
was my SON." And she was gone before
you could say Jack Robinson!

And Rawlings will remember that par
ticular Christmas Eve as long as he
can wag his tail or gnaw bone. And
the man with the tin whistle declared
he would never get discouraged again,
no matter how dreadful the weather
was. Rawlings approved of this de-
termination and ate another chop at
once.
And the man with the tin whistle
still plays tunes all the way from
penny up to ten dollars!
