COURSE IN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AMATEURS

THE OREGONJAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE:
VI. EXPOSIXG THE PLATE.
When we are ready to withdraw the
elide so as to expose the plate-that Is, to
allow the picture as we have just seen
It upon the ground glass to be thrown '
In the same way upon the lace ol the ory
plate In our holder and the Image of the
picture to be Impregnated upon the plate,
we muat again caution against overex
posure. "We shall learn later on of exposure me
ters for mechanically Judging of exposure.
At present we shall endeavor to get as
correct an exposure as possible by our
own Judgment, which, after all. la the
beat exposure meter. This Judging of
correct exposure la a part of- photography
which should receive constant study. Ex
pert knowledge Is secured only through
clc.-e observation and long experience.
EuM-ose that we have a medium plate
in tne holder, and that our view Is made
up ol a clump of trees, a brook, a few l
large stones and an old log bridge. It Is j
a fairly bright day and the sun Is sinn
ing After studying the time of expo
sure by looking first at the view and
thfn at Its image on the ground glass a
alrfady described we conclude that with
tht stop or diaphragm that we have used
to get our picture at its "best that Ave eec
onds is about the correct time. Our lens
be.ng closed, either by placing the cap
on the propjectlng hood of the lens or
b closing the shutter, we take hold of tho
B'.ide with the fingers of the right hand,
placing the left upon the top of the cam
era over the slideholder in order to steady
the camera, and draw out the slide com
pletely. "We must be very careful to
dnnj It over perfectly straight, for the
reason that the end of the holder through
which the slide Is drawn Is protected by a
Fprlng or cushion of black velvet extend
ing the width of. the slide. If we draw out
the slide with a downward motion tho
upper end leaves the holder first, while
the lower end. still In the slide, holds the
cushion from performing Its function,
wblch is to close up the slot when the
elide Is out and thus prevent the rays of
light from passing through to the plate,
which means that our plate will be fogged,
or light struck, and ruined.
It is then of great Importance that we
draw our elide out gently, yet quickly,
and draw It straight. After drawing the
slide it Is well to acquire the habit of
throwing the side of the focusing cloth
over the side of the camera from which
the slide has been withdrawn, thus doubly
protecting the end of our holder from the
light. Especially should this be done In
outdoor work.
Now to count our second?, and to count
them as seconds; It Is remarkable how
differently as to time this may be done; of
course, we may use a watch and get the
time exact, but It Is claimed, and with
truth, by good camerists that to expose
mechanically Is to lose the soul of the pic
ture, for when once one Is master of tim
ing a picture under different phases there
is an inner feeling of conception of the
depth ol the picture that guides the hand
and eye in making exposures. Be this as
It may it is true that nine people out of
30 expose by rule of eye or count. "We
have found that by a very little practice
almost correct time may be given In sec
onds by counting one second two sec
ondsthree seconds distinctly, and In the
usual speed of the voice in talking. To
try to count by saying one, two. three will
rarely land the beginner within a half of
the time he expects. Begin counting aj
the shutter Is opened or the lens un
capped and close the lens at the end of
the last "second." Don't be temped to
give "Just a little more time." for more
plates are spoiled by the "little more time"
than by almost any other means.
The exposure being made, the slide is re
placed, and here we must remember to
place the end of the slide exactly straight
In the opening, and to keep it straight, for
to Introduce one corner first would ruin
our plate Just as we have ecen above.
In replacing the slide be cure to have the
dark side of the slide on the outside, as
this will show that the plate has been
exposed and will keep us from making
the quite common mistake of exposing the
same plate twice.
Right here and now is the time for us
to begin a system of "method," by which
we mean labeling each exposure and Jot
ting down a quick memorandum of the
view taken, the plate used, the stop used,
and the time of exposure; also whether
the day is dull, medium or light. This
tabulating will mean the saving of a great
many plates and a deal of wear and tear
on our temper when we come to develop
our pictures, not only on this initiative
trip but In all our future work. There Is
nothing so exasperating as to return home
from a photographing jaunt with a half
dozen choice "views, taken and timed un
der a half-dozen, different conditions of
light and speed, only to forget in the
darkroom "which are which." Let us
decide now that we shall always carry a
memoranda book on our trip and Jot down
particulars somewhat as follows:
PLATE no. l.
View. Inndpcaro. dark follags; brook, log
bridge In foreground.
Lens Goera. 4x0.
Plate Cramer, "Banner."
Stop F 32.
Time Five second.
Light Bright. 2 P. M.
Result
And so on with each exposure. Of course
oach plate-holder must bo numbered so
that No. 1 plate corresponds with No. 1
"memo." By keeping a careful record of
each exposure In this manner we soon
learn by comparison, and by early mis
takes, the proper exposure to give under
any given circumstances.
We have cautioned against overexpos
ure for the reason that the almost uni
versal falling of the beginner is to over
expose, but a little overexposure Is more
easily handled in development than is
underexposure, for we can sometimes get
a good negative from an overexposed plate
when there is something to hold back,
but It Is Impossible to get one when
there is nothing to bring up, for If the
exposuro is too short then there Is not
sufficient on the plate to make a picture,
and no amount of developing will bring
out what is not there.
"We shall find that a number of factors
enter into the question of light. The time
of the year, the time of day and the con
dition of the atmosphere, the clouds in
the sky. etc., all or any one of them may
mak decided differences In the quantity
and quality of tho light.
Subjects that are of an open character
and have no masses of deep shadow near
the camera require short exposures,
whereas subjects with masses of shade
In the foreground require long exposures.
"Where a large portion of the subject Is
under trees, as In the case of forest glades
or wooded ravines, very long exposures
may be required, because the greater part
of the light has been filtered through the
green leaves overhead, and this holds
good even though the camera Itself Is
not under the trees. The color of the ob
jects also influences the time of expos
ure; a yellow stone building requires long
er exposure than" one of white stone, and
a red brick building will require' still
lorger. Interiors of buildings always re
quire longer exposures than ordinary out
door subjects, but they show such great
differences, according to the size and po
sition of the windows and tho color of
the glass, that the time required varies
from less than a minute to three or four
hours, or even more. Subjects Including
a large proportion of sea and sky require,
as a rule, very short exposures. The
time of exposure in the case of portraits
varies very much, and depends on the
conditions of lighting, and also on the
character of the effect desired.
The light is most active, and the ex
posures required are shortest In June, and
on a bright day the activity of the light
remains practically the same between S
A. M. and 3 P. M., and it is equally active
In May and July from 10 A. M. to 2 P. M.
In Spring and Autumn longer exposures
are required, and In Winter the time must

DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON
be from three to 10 times as long as in
June, according to the hour of the day.
The light Is least active in December,
and the exposure required becomes short
er and shorter as we approach June, and
afterward becomes longer and longer un
til the maximum Is again reached In De
cember. The light increases in brightness
from early morning until midday, when
it attains a maximum, and then falls off
again until sunset, the falling off being
considerably more rapid In winter than
in summer. In very early morning and
toward sunset the exposures are always
long, especially if the light is at all yel
low. When the sun is shining and there are
white clouds In the sky opposite the sun
the exposures needed are shorter, other
things being equal, than when the sky la
perfectly cloudless. A cloud actually In
front of the sun of course lengthens the
necessary exposure very considerably, and
the same Is true, in a smaller degree, of
light clouds that do not completely ob
scure the sun. Rain clears the atmos
phere of dust, etc, and other things be
ing equal, less exposure Is required after
a shower.
It will be clear that the estimation of
correct exposure requires judgment and
experience. The conditions are never con
stant and hence numerical tables are only
very approximate, although they afford
some assistance at the beginning. Not
much help can be obtained from actlno
meters because they only measure the in
tensity of the light where the photogra
pher is standing, while what we ought to
measure Is the intensity of the light re
flected from the different parts of the
subject. Now and again, and especially
when dealing with interiors, they will
tell us that the light Is much yellower
and less active than we should otherwise
have believed.
The photographer must learn to rely
upon his own judgment guided by the na
ture of the subject, with a special regard
to the proportion and depth of the shad
ows; the apparent brightness of the Im
age on the ground glass, the time of
year, the time of day and the character
of the light, especially with regard to tho
presence of clouds even light ones be
tween the sun and the earth. Brightness
to the eye is not necessarily a measure
of activity on the photographic plate,
and, as already pointed out, any yellow
nesseven though slight in the light
lengthens considerably the time of expos
ure required. Sufficient exposure should
always be given for the dark parts of
the subject; the brightly Illuminated
parts will take care of themselves. The
exposure given will al60 depend on the
character of the results required; very
short exposures Increase the contrast and
long exposures reduce the contrast. If,
therefore, you consider that the contrast
of light and shade in the subject is too
strong for pictorial effect, give a longer
exposure, and vice versa. For example, a
view including whitewashed cottages or
other brilliantly lighted objects, together
with foliage, will require a comparatively
long exposure If harsh contrasts in the
negative are to be avoided.

the social features of the convention.
TWO RUNAWAYS.
Each Resulted In the Injury of a
"Woman.
James Hewitt's horse ran away with his
top buggy, containing Mrs. Hewitt and the
baby, on First street, yesterday noon, but
fortunately the occupants were not seri
ously hurt, though the buggy was badly
damaged. Mr. Hewitt, who lives at
Sunnyside, was In the act of unhitching
the horfce from a pole at the corner of
First and Main streets, when the bridle
came off and the frightened animal got
away from him. The runaway dashed up
"First 6treet to Taylor, where,, on turning
the corner, the buggy collided with an
express wagon. Mrs. Hewitt and the baby
were thrown out on the s.dewalk. but the
seat cushion struck the curb first, and so
the only bad effect of the collision was an
injured knee, which will keep Mrs. Hewitt
at home for some time. The horse was se
cured while he was trying to get loose
from the express wagon.
Miss Lena Kellogg, a nurse em
ployed at the Good Samaritan Hos
pital, was thrown from a buggy
yesterday afternoon and severely In
jured. She had but barely started from
the house of Mrs. F. A. E. Starr, with
whom she lived, when the horse became
frightened at a steam roller and upset
the buggy. With Miss Kellogg were the
two children uf Mrs. Starr, but these were
uninjured In the fall. Mlas Kellogg fell
on her face, breaking her nose and sus
taining several severe bruises. Drs. Little
field and Cornelius, who were summoned,
found It difficult to stop the flow of blood.
This was finally done, however, and Miss
Kellogg was removed to the Good Samari
tan Hospital, where she will be obliged to
remain In bed for several days.
FQRTHE SEAMAN'S INSTITUTE
Chaplain "Will Relieve Dr. Hay, Who
Organised It.
A chaplain of the Portland Seamen's
Mission will succeed Dr. J. Douglas Hay
some time during the year. The position
has been tendered Rev. Mr. Bridges, now
in charge of the mission of the society at
Cape Colony. It is expected that Mr.
Bridges will accept and be here some time
In the month of August. Dr. Hay will
remain with him a month or two later,
getting him fairly Installed In the work,
and then will sail fcr his own home,
probably In September.
Dr. Hay Is not a permanent officer of the
local missions established by the society
throughout the world, but acts In the ca-
paclty of an organizer. Ills talent for
this branch of the worK renaers his serv
ices too valuable for birtctly local duty.
He v.eita a city where there Is no mission,
interests the people, establishes a home,
gets It in good shape, and turns It over to
one of the regular society chaplains. What
Dr. Hay has accomplished here la well
known. He Inaugurated a movement that
has often failed before, and has so thor
oughly demonstrated Its usefulness to the
port that there can be no question of Its
permanent continuance. According to the
plans when he came, a chaplain will be
sent to take charge, relieving Dr. Hay for
other organizing work.
While very gratifying support has been
given the Home by Portland business
houses, it Is hardly yet on that self-supporting
basis essential to best results.
Some firms who are not among the con
tributors to its maintenance will have to
come forward with their offerings. There
has been a small shortage during the past
two months, wh!ch the Caledonian Club
very worthily has undertaken to make
good by giving a grand concert and ball
In the Arlon Hall, Friday evening, March
23. Other societies and persons have ren
dered aid, and can be of great assistance
to the commerce of the city by devoting
some of their time in behalf of the funds
for the Home. Dr. Hay will not depart
for some time yet. And the many friends
he has made In the city will find him an
active worker In the harness until the day
he leaves Portland.
SPRING ON THE COLUMBIA.
"Wild Klowera Earlier Than Around
Portland The "Waterfalls.
The Columbia Is now at an ordinary
spring stage, and river men look for no
high water, as the snow has been melting
and running off all winter, and the streams
emptying into the Columbia and larger
tributaries have been at about the came
stage for several months. Between "Van
couver and The Dalles spring is beginning
to clothe the banks of the river In green,
and along the line of the O. R. & N. be
tween The Cascades and Bridal Yell tho
woods are so full of trilllums that a bushel
basket full of the starry blossoms might
be gathered within a few hundred yards..
The Claytonia, or Spring Beauty, Is also
blooming abundantly along the railroad
track, while the oxalls. wild bleeding
heart, and a number of other flowers
which have not yet come to hand in
Portland are plentiful.
The many waterfalls In the Columbia
River gorge are now at their best, and as
Is always the case this early In the spring,
thousands of smaller cataracts are pour
ing over the bluff, which later on are not
seen at all. At least a dozen falls tum
bled over the perpendicular cliffs at Cape
Horn yesterday, and were caught and
scattered by the high wind which blew
down the river till they looked like filmy
lace. Oneonta Falls, which some one with
no sense of reverence In his make-up
called Horse Tall, Is fulf to overflowing,
and may be seen for miles up and down
the river. Multnomah Is still doing busi
ness at the old stand, and Is furnishing a
magnificent spectacle for all comers, with
out regard to the controversy over Its
ownership. Most of the well-known wa
terfalls have been shot at a few times
this year by amateur photographers, who
have learned that early In the spring Is tho
time to get them at their best.
Local travel on the river and railroad is
restricted thus far pretty much to thoso
whose business takes them that way, but
the sightseers will soon begin their pil
grimages, and from that time forth the
natives will be kept busy answering ques
tions about the various points of Interest
along the river and railroad. Fishermen
are evidently expecting an active season,
as piles have been driven for a number oi
new wheels, and many scows half hidden
In the willows along the bottoms show
that their owners are on the ground and
ready to spread their nets as soon as the
close season is over.
AGAINST THE SUBSIDY.
Manufacturers' Association Opposes
Parne-Hanna Bill.
Some time ago the directors of the Man
ufacturers' Association Indorsed the
Payne-Hanna shipping subsidy bill. At
their March meeting they reconsidered
this action, refused the request of the
National Board of Trade for Indorsement
of the measure and Instructed Secretary
Mclsaac to write to the Oregon Senators
and Representatives, asking that they
vote against the bill.
Messrs. Hegele. Holmes and Heintz, the
committee appointed to investigate the
policy of the National Irrigation Asso
ciation for tho reclamation and settlement
of arid lands, submitted the following res
olutions, which were adopted:
"Whereas. There can be no doubt as to
the benefits to be derived by the people
of the Northwest In the reclamation of
the arid lands In Its territory.
"Whereas, The reclamation of the arid
lands of Oregon, Washington and Idaho
will be the only means of increasing the
population of these lands, and as It Is very
desirable to the membera of tho associa
tion to secure a much larger population
In the above-named states;
"Whereas, We believe that the only
practical way to secure the" reclamation of
these lands !s through the supervision of
the General Government, and It Is the
opinion of this association that the same
conditions should apply to the sale or lease
of these lands as apply to other public
land of the United States, -viz.. bona flats
settlers always being given the prefer
ence in the sale or lease of lands;
"Resolved, That the Manufacturers' As
sociation of the Northwest indorse the ac
tion now being taken by the National Ir
rigation Association, and we pledge them
our support In all measures they may take
to further the end, to procure the reclama
tion of the arid lands of the United States.
"Resolved. That the secretary of this
association be Instructed to forward a copy
of these resolutions to our members in
Congress and also to the National Irrl
tlon Association."

Front-Street Switch.
PORTLAND. March lt.-(To the Editor.)
It appears to me that the proposed
Front-street switch would be of great
benefit to the whole city. I do not see
how It could In any way be detrimental
to the property-holders on said street. In
fact, I am posltjve that it would lncreaso
the business and the value of the prop
erty on the street provided, the railway
would keep In repair and perfect order tne
street between the track and at least
four feet on both sides; and provided,
further, that no cars should under any
condition ever use the said track excepl
between the hours of C P. M. nnd 4 A. M,
It Is a well-known fact that no business
Is ever, done on the street during the
above hours. Provided, further, no future
Council, under any conditions, snouid
have the power to chance the hours ot
trains using the street, unless petitioned
by all the property-owners on the street
to make such change.

HOW TO TREAT TIMBER
REGULATION OF ITS SALE AN'D USE
ON THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
The Neceuslty for Legislation, and
Text of the Bill Drawn for Con
sideration of Couereas,
WASHINGTON, March 9. The Secre
tary of the Interior and the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, after some con
sultation and investigation, have arrived
at the conclusion that some legislation is
necessary to authorize and regulate the
sale and use of timber on the unappro
priated and unreserved public lands of
the United States. With this In view,
tho commissioner has drafted a bill to
accomplish the end sought, and this bill.
because of the vast forests of Oregon, and.
In fact, all along the Pacific Coast, Is of
much Interest to those states. In ex
plaining the necessity for such legisla
tion, the Commissioner says. In a report
to the Secretary:
"Tho class of hardy and Industrious peo
ple who have sought and are seeking
homes upon the public lands constitute an
eminently conservative and law-abiding
class, but they feel, and properly, too,
that they should be allowed to supply their
necessities out of the abundance within
reach of them and which Is regarded un
doubtedly as part of the common heritage.
It is submitted that a large and worthy
class of people should not be placed in a
position where they must either violate the
.law or suffer for tho necessaries of life.
"The legislation of Congress In this
direction has been largely local and con
fined to particular classes of people, and
Is sot forth In so many scattering, and.
in some Instances, ambiguous, uncertain
and contradictory acts, that a revision of
these statutes seems Indispensable.
"Existing laws permit the taking of
public timber free of charge and without
real limitation as to quantity by those
who are engaged in profitable and estab
lished Industries and who can and should
make reasonable compensation therefor:
and yet they do not make adequate pro
vision for the free use of public timber
by those who need it in only limited
quantities and who, by reason of being
engaged In the primary development of
the country, cannot pay therefor and
ought not to be required to do so. Theso
statutes also provide for the sale of sur
veyed public tln'Der land at the fixed
price of 2 50 per acre without regard to
the value of the timber thereon, which. In
mnny Instances, is worth several times
the Government price of the land. There
are also'somo Industries to the successful
prosecution of which. In the Southern and
Western states and In the territories,
timber is an absolute necessity, but for
which, under present laws. It cannot be
obtained, there being no law authorizing
the use or sale of public timber for such
purposes and there being no surveyed tim
ber land in the vicinity which can be sold
under the statute last mentioned.
"In the earlier days, when the country
was sparsely settled and timber was most
abundant, the necessity for a careful use
and conservation of the public timber was
not of so much Importance, for then tho
depredations were few and there was a
plenty and to spare. Now that the coun
try Is settled up and depredations hava
become more frequent, prompt action on
the part of Congress to preserve what is
left of the timber and to better regulate
Its use. It Is frequently urged. Is Imper
ativoly demanded. Every year's delay In
flicts upon the material interests of tho
country injuries which with the lapse of
time Increase In magnitude and become
more difficult to remedy.
"It Is obvious that the people of the
public-land states and of the territories
must have timber or Its products for do
mestic purposes and for use in local In
dustries, and If the Government has tim
ber that may bo disposed of without injury
to the more general Interests, the peopla
should be allowed to use It on making
reasonable compensation for it. and In
meritorious cases they should be permitted
to uso it free of charge in limited quan
tity. "A bill Is herewith submitted which
brings together and revises the existing
statutes upon this subject, relieves them
of ambiguity, uncertainty and conflict,
omits provisions which experience has
taught wero unwise, and Inserts others
which are Intended to make the measuro
complete, harmonious and Just to all in
terested." The New Measure.
The bill which has been drafted Is as
follows:
"That after the passage of this act tha
timber or timber products on the public
lands of the United States, surveyed or
unsurveyed, mineral or non-mineral, not
reserved or appropriated, In the public
land states, territories and the District
of Alaska, shall be sold or appropriated,
exclusively as herein provided, to supply
in a legitimate manner the necessities of
those dependent upon public timber, in
settling tho country. In developing and
maintaining Its Industries, In making and
maintaining public Improvements and In
providing means of transportation.
"Sec. 2. That the Secretary of the In
terior is hereby authorized, in the exercise
of his discretion, to dispose of by sale,
from time to time, upon .proper application
therefor, to citizens of the United States
or to those who have declared their In
tention tq become such citizens, being
bona fldo residents of the state, tcrrltorj
or district within which is situated the
land from which the timber is to be pro
cured, including companies lawfully doing
business therein, and any county, town
ship, city, town or othor municipal sub
division therein, so much of the timber or
Its products growing or being upon said
public lands as m&y be. In his judgment
demanded to supplr the necessities of
those dependent uoo-. public timber for
the purposes specified in the first section
thereof; provided, that the removal of
such timber will not injuriously affect
the water supply of the country or other
Interest.
"Sec. 3. That before any timber, cord
wood, or other timber product shall be
sold, the Secretary of the Interior shall
cause the same to bo appraised and adver
tised for sale for not less than 30 days
In a newspaper or newspapers of general
circulation throughout the county or coun
ties In which the land is located. Such
advertisement shall offer the timber, cord
wood, or other timber products for sale at
not less than the appmlsed va'ue. sprclfv
Ing that pavment therefor shall be made
to the receiver of public moneys of the
local land office of the district wherein
the said timber or other material is situ
ated, subject to conditions prescribed by
the Secretary of the Interior. No timber,
cord wood, or other timber products sold
as herein provided shall be either cut or
removed until pajTnent In full therefor has
been made and receipt for such payment
has been issued by the receiver of public
moneys, and the proceeds of such sales
shall be accounted for by the receiver of
public moneys In a separate account and
shall be covered Into the Treasury of the
United States as a special fund, to be ex
pended in protecting the timber on public
lands not embraced In forest or other res
ervations, under the direction of the Sec
retary of the Interior or as Congress may
provide; provided, however, that where
the timber, cord wood, or other timber
product sought to be purchased does not
exceed the stumpage value of $100. the
Secretary of the Interior may. In his dis
cretion, dispense with advertisement and
appraisement
Sale to Be Conditional.
"Sec 4. That In scl.Ing timber, cord
wood, or other timber produces under the
for going provisions, the sale shall b?
made conditional upon the removal of the
timber or o her material within a period
of 12 months from the date of purchase,

Is Christian Science the Religion of
Jeans Chrlatf
PORTLAND, March 15. (To the Editor.)
A discussion of one's religious belief
through a public journal Is, to say the
least. Irksome, and In many Instances no
good results are attained. Tour corre
spondent, signed "M," In yesterday's Is
sue, quoted In part only that portion of
Judge Ewlng's lecture pertaining to be
liefs. The remarks to which the writer
took exception were as follows:
"Really, your lack of trust In God's
healing power Is not very strange; It
Is the natural result of the ancestral
opinion I spoke of a moment ago. Our
fathers believed and taught us to be
lieve that God makes us sick; that God
makes us blind and deaf and lame, and
therefore we can easily understand how
reluctantly and doubtlngly one who be
lieves that God is the fruitful source of
all his sorrow and heartache would go
to him with a confiding petition for re
lief from the very sorrows he has
wrought. And here is the marked dis
tinction between the old churchss thought
of God and our thought of him. Chris
tian Scientists do not believe that God
makes you sick or blind or deaf or halt. '
To a thoughtful person It might seem
that we (the orthodox churches) still
held tenaciously to our forefathers' be
lief. But as a Presbyterian a fire-eating
Calvlnist. If you choose we deny In toto
this statement.
What we do bcireve: First That God
created the heavens and earth and all
therein, and "saw that it was good."
Second That Christ's coming was a ful
fillment of th elaw and prophets, and that
he came not to destroy, but to fulfill.
Third That God created food for our sus
tenance. Fourth That medicinal plants
and minerals were created for the use
of his many subjects. Fifth That his
subjects, through patient observation and
Inquiry, have found a good use for the
things so created. Sixth That all crea
tion Is subject to God's (nature's) Im
mutable lew of life and death. Seventh
That sin or disobedience otsome of na
ture's (God's) laws are surely and swift
ly punished.
The difference between the orthodox and
"new church": The marked distinction
between, the orthodox and the "new
church" Is this: The orthodox church has
use for matter as well as mind both crea
tions of God. The "new church" Ign'oras
matter entirely and says "all Is mind."
Tried and found wanting: The writer
would advise "M" to reflect on the many
failures of Christian Science in our fair
city, covering a period of. say. 10 years.
And what a history It Is of heart-rending
failures! We do not deny what It has at
tempted to do; for It has carried its faith
to the bedside of the sick and to the very
portals of death (But hold! We hear
some one say, "There is no death.") and
has failed most signally. A child is at
tacked by a malignant and contag ous dis
ease (diphtheria); It receives the best
treatment known by the "new church."
and then dies. Then a woman is attacked
with cancer of the throat and receives
the best attention; she also meets her
Maker. And then an old gentleman, who
has been lame for years, throws aside his
cane after a good (?) treatment, but very
soon afterward we see him leaning upon
the old. faithful stick again. In view of
the foregoing, and many others of like
character. It would seem to an observ
ing mind that the "new church" had been
tried and found wanting. Furthermore,
It has disregarded the common laws of
health and decency. (Again we hear some
one say, "There Is no health no decency
for all is mind.")
A city ordinance needed: A few weeks
ago a child, whose mother Is a Christian
Scientist, died In this city from a con
tagious disease. A physician was called
at the very last moment. He' frankly told
the mother the disease had progressed
too far for him to do much
for Its relief. The child died.
The child died. The funeral was public.
Pallbearers wore provided, and among
them was a friend of the writer. After
ward, to this friend's surprise, he found
that he had unknowingly exposed him
self to a mo3t contagious and malignant
case of diphtheria. If an ordinance is
not already In existence, then one should
be speedily enacted to forcibly remind
these "minders" that the disregard of
the ordinary laws of health (or preven
tion) cannot be flippantly Ignored.
In conclusion, we hope that "M" may
see the absurdity of such a belief as the
"new church" offers, when carried to a
logical conclusion. We would also offer to
"M" the religion of Jesus Christ, pure
and undeflled not as Mrs. Eddy thinks
It should be, nor as the Mormon church
would have us take It, but as Christ
himself taught It R. H. BLOSSOM.
