.ETTERs TO THE EDITOR
Sides via MT. coney.

Mir. Editor: I have read with more
 than common interest the letters be-
 tween Mir. Coffey and MT. Capen, and l
 believe MT. Coffey is right, as MT. Ca- pell's. letter is confusing indeed when
 compared with Scripture. He says | sickness, pain and death are not real l If that is the case then we will have | to discard the teachings of the Bible, | and Christ's teachings with the rest, for His apostles were His mouthpieces after He ascended to the Father. Ana the
 21st chapter Of Revelation says that when the new heavens, and the new
 earth (order o6 things) are come, then
 God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. and there shall be no more death,
 neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for tho former things are passed away. And the Bible teaches such state all the ! way through from Genesis to Revela- tions. Now, if those things are not real i then we who bear them must be unreal. had hip disease when child and still i suffer with 1t. Do Christian Scientists mean to say am not lame? Or If one loses an arm or limb, then what? I I guess if they suffered as I did their minds would have to be something be-
 yond comprehension, to believe they aid not have 1t. And why should fear. ig- l
 not? He mentions Jairus' daughters s | death as one of his proofs. But what l about Lazarus7 ChriFA saia the very

 him out of sleep" (Now you will see | th. he SwoS aQfoaS1 fin 9f Il as MT. Capell, thinks JairuS daughter Eas). Verse II, Then said his disci- | ples, Lord if he sleep he shall do we'll 13, Howbeit Jesus, spoke of his deata but they thought that he had spoken nf

 Jesus came he found Lazarus had lain
