Editor, The Washington Times.

Editor, The Washington Times.
wxYILL you kindly grant me
" space in The Times to pres
w ent different view of
most important matter from that
expressed in one Of your recent
editorials. ask this because the
wording of the editorial was such
as to cause some Of your readers to
INFER that it referred to Christian
Scientists.
The editorial was headed: "Par-
ents Have Not the Right to De-
dren;" and in it the following
statement was made: Some of
those that hate the idea of O. de.
partment of health are well-mean-
ing dreamers, who amuse them
selves by saying that there is no
d1sease-until disease comes. Then
they die or send for a DOCTOR"
Speaking for Christian Scien-
lists, permit me to say first, that
christian Science does not teach
Its students to hate" anyone's
ideas, no matter how much they
may disagree with them. AS for
the unreality of disease, there
would be much less difference Of
opinion on this subject, If all who
inquire into 1t would consider
what Is meant by the word real"
and what Is taught by philosophy
or natural science regarding the
nature of matter. One Of the
definitions of real" given by
Webster is: Actual as distinguish
ed from fictitious or imaginary:
also, existing intrinsIcally or in.
herently, as distinguished from
seeming or apparent" In accord
with the last Of these definitions.
christian Scientists regard moth
ing but spiritual facts, spirit and
spiritual being, as real in dis
tinction from that which ia an
parent or seeming.
Understanding that God. Spirit.

PARIS SPEAKS

BY ALICE LANGELIER,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.

~ ARIS.-Paris is gradually be-
coming the most cosmopoli-
II tan city in the world.
There are cafes and restaurants
where it is even embarrassing to
order in French. In a well-known
"bar" of the Faubourg Mont
martre a dialect of the Orient Is
the official language. Just across
the street from this little restau-
rant, which calls itself THE AL
geria," you will find the rendez-
vous of Israelites from CONSTANT
nople. In another one the knowl-
edge of Italian is necessary, and
in many others Spanish is spoken
fluently.
In the bar Of the Chaussee
d'Antin the garcon scarcely un-
derstands French, but he will
speak to you in perfect anglo
American" Visit the little eating
corner near the Madeleine and
you will be obliged to speak Rus
sian. If you wish to eat chop
suey in the tavern near the Sor-
bonnie prepare yourself to speak
in Chinese.

and every nationality. One need
never feel lonely at meal time in
the French capital. There Is no
excuse for not chatting in your
native tongue.
The actual number Of foreign
ers in Paris has not been officially
calculated since 1917, when the
figure given out was 294, 4S4.
Since that date the number has
certainly been sensibly increased.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

WY ICKED men obey for fear,
w but the good for love.
There's not one wise man
among twenty will praise him.

IT'S one thing to be tempted
another thing to fafi.
Thoughts are but dreams. till
their effects be tried. -
He that never changed any Of
his opinions never corrected any
of his mistakes.
Books cannot always please, how
ever good,
Minds are not ever craving for
their food. -Crabbe
Fortune, success and position
are never gained but by piously,
determinedly, bravely striking,
growing, living to a thing.
Time, with all its celebrity,
moves slowly on to him whose
whole employment is to watch it's
flight.
Genuine religion is not so much
a matter Of feeling as of prin-
ciple.
It Is worthy of observation that
the most imperious masters over
their own servants are often at
the same time the most abject
slaves to the servants of other
masters.
Though a taste of pleasure may
quicken the relish Of life, an un-
restrained indulgence leads to in
evitable destruction.
Those who quit their proper
character to assume what does
not belong to them are for the
greater part ignorant Of both the
character they leave and of the
character they assume.

the exquisite sense of the bee

tracts. and disregards all the

No "Hate" for Anyone's Ideas, Declares
Christian Scientist

Is real, Christian Science teaches
that whatever is the opposite Of
Spirit must be unreal. This in
cludes matter and all it's phenomena.
In the words Of Mrs. Eddy,
author of the Christian Science
textbook: Spirit is immortal
truth; matter is mortal error.
Spirit is the real and eternal:
matter Is the unreal and tenn
poral." page 468.)
From this viewpoint. it is emf
nently unfair to refer to Christian
Scientists as well meaning dream
ers, who amuse themselves by
saying there Is no disease-until
disease comes; while it would be
absolutely untrWe to say: Then
they die or send for a DOCTOR"
The efficacy of Christian Science
as a healing agency has beeen
proven in so many thousands of
cases and Is today so we'll known
the world over, that it seems al
most incredible that any well-in-
formed person would make such a
statement.
AS regards the headlines of the
editorial, 1t Is an opinion that
has not behind it the sanction Of
law. In the most specific act on
this subject ever passed by the
Congress of the United States,
known as the maternity law, the
following provision is made:
Nothing in this act shall be con-
strued as limiting the power of a
parent or guardian or person
standing in loco PARENTS to de-
termine what treatment or correc.
ton shall be provided for q child"
BY providing that the power of
the parent shall not be limited
in this respect, the law clearly
indicates that parents have the
right to decide on treatment for
their children.

sentatives who are next to the cell
lar berth. Testing Laboratory is

off the honors for second place in
the standing. Marion will be the
next opponent OF the locals. This
game will also be played at Bohn-
sacks alleys on December 4.
