Because of the general interest in
the teachings of DIR. Emil Coue and
the widespread discussion of the re-
lationship of his teachings to those
of the Christian Science Church, the
Christian Science committee on pub
lications, through Charles Z. Heitman,
has issued the following explanatory
statement:
"In compliance with a request for
a statement as to the attitude OF
Christian Scientists toward NJ. Coue
and his visit to America, 1 will say
that while we sharply disagree with
this form of treatment, neverthe-
less we recognize ii as right or
every one TO employ the practitioner
of his choice. therefore. we have no
word of condemnation either for DR..
Coue or those who care to expert
ment with his system of healing. We
do object, however, to having his
teachings confused with those of
Christian Science.
Where Difference Lies.
I'm way of explanation l will say
that the teachings and practice of
Christian Science, as set forth in the
writings of it's discoverer and founder,
Mary Baker Eddy. are directly op-
posite TO those employed by DIR. Coue.
The latter, as an example, is based
wholly upon the belief in minds
many, and the power of one mind
over another, whereas Christian
Science teaches that there is but one
mind, infinite and divine. called God,
even that mind which, according
to the Scriptures, was also in
Christ Jesus
Again, Christian Science does not
heal by means of psychotherapy or
autosuggestion; and no more does it
lrequire, as is the case with the French
physician and hypnotist, the constant
repetition of specially formulated
phrases by those who turn to IL for
help. In fact, it specifically prohibits
the use of formulas and classifies all
forms of suggestion as activities of
the carnal mind of which sin and its
resultant states, sickness and death.
are effects. Christian Science logic
| ally holds. therefore, that since the
seeming cause of disease obtains in
| the carnal mind which, as Paul tells
us, is the source of death and enmity
against God, its cure must come not

forcement of the corporeal WILL IT.

of treatment in Christian Science is
to improve the individual morally
and spiritually; while suggestive and
hypnotic methods of mental healing
have no religious element, but look
merely to the physical betterment.
I'm drawing a distinction between
the operation of Christian metaphys-

and the various systems OF mental
therapy based on a belief in the pow

WIS. CADET KILLED

West Point, N. Y.--Gerhard Geo.
Rowe, a member of the gradual
ing class of the United States Mill
tary academy whose home was in
Menomonie, Wis, was killed near
here Monday when he was struck iii
the chest by piece of metal pro-
jected by an explosive charge.
Rowe was one of party of stu
dents from the academy engaged in
military instruction. A section of
railroad had been constructed and
the cadets were being taught the
method of destroying railroad #
compelled to retreat.
When the explosive had been placed
under the tracks, the students were
directed to take cover. Cadet Rowe,
over anxious, stepped from behind a
tree the instant the charge went off.
