Strange weather makes us realize
our complete dependence on the sun,
and question our cOnceited idea that
it was put in the sky merely to light

It was no until the fourth day THAT

remainder of the debate, and then, If

But taking the whole situation into

being made. Some advance is effected
daily through The pages Of the bill.
Specific items are discussed with reIa.

Christian Science Lot

To the Editor Of The Star;

TO the Editor OF The Star:
In last Sundays issue OF your pa.

the title my Religion: What 1t Means
to Me" by Charles G. Norris.
Among other things, tho writer de
scribed briefly some lectures by Judge
Troward of Edinburgh on mental sci.
ence. In this article ne Iikened Chris.
tfsn Science TO mental science and
Coueism. In order that your readers
may not confound these systems with
the religion Of Christian Science. per-
nit me to say that the truth which
Mrs. Eddy discovered came To her
through divine revelation.
From childhood Mrs. Eddy was a
devout student OF the Bible. Expert
enCing a serious accident, which the
doctors pronounced fatal she asked
for her Bible and began reading AZ
Matthew, tx. verse .. Her thought WAS
so illumined with spiritual understand.
ing that she was instantly healed snd
WAS enabled al once to rise from her
bed. Realizing the principle OF mind
healing to be God, she felt the need Of
discovering its rule and action.
Withdra wing from society for three
years. she proved through n deep and
prayerfui study OF the Scriptures the
absolute power Of divine science.

she says: THE revelation Of truth in

that such "A religion, founded on the
