The speaker was full of his sub-7 joct and evidently a master in it; at the name time we must confess that much of the discourse was not to an entirely coherent or clan. Possibly thh win our weak- ness and not his fault, Every per- son, however intelligent or strong minded, is somewhat colored in his oonvictions, especislly of re- ligion, by previous teaching and figsining. Much of the Doctor’s essay,» denied the divinity [of Christ, but taughtthat he was in-; spired and endowed by divine spirit and power. Perhaps vie do not correctly represent the speaker but certainly have no desire to misrepresent him and only, speak as we understood. 33300111796 was éonoeming Christ, his mission and pave; in the III»- .u-w- ‘â€" â€"v~ â€"â€" .â€" wofld. If we undetahod him 001’ may he denied the divinitv of Our theory of Christ briefly I inmmed up is substantially as fol lows: All human beings have sin. nod; that‘ie, broken the law of God. The penalty i_s spiritual death. Without éome iorfeitnte God cans not spardon the offender and main- tain his justice and perfectu‘efss ns God. Therefore there must be a penaltyptherwiee God’s law is not law but aimplyexhortation.» The penalty to be complete must be perfect elee ineficient.

However, it is not our purpose a hero to make any attempt to con- trovert or discuss the speaker’s views. We are not either by train. ing or disposition inclined to an- tagonize other people in their re ligious views any \more than we would wish to have them dictate i to us. We only throw out these 1 suggestions as matters of puflio . interest, h we tent, and particu- 2‘ lsrly to inspire on the part of our readersedrefnl,systsmatic thinking 1 and living. We must say in con. ' clusion that, while we do not ad- V mit that the Christian Scientists have taught the world a great,new ; truth (for some of us already knew it, ) we do frankly admit and do so with great pleasure that they have emphasized and are em- phasizing- an invaluable lesson to the world in calling attention to‘ the importance of forgetting our. ' selves, our ills and troubles ,therehy leaving us more time to preach and practice the genuine spirit of altruism so abnndantiy exemplified in the life and teachings of Christ. unddflfifflfl F05 Saué-A very elegant dark oak1 dining room table and china «bi. not to match, and some other It- Holes cheap.
