The cure of dleea.ee by the methods of Christian Science was discussed yes "terday afternoon at the Heillg theatre by Bllae Knapp, C. S. B.. before a large audience. Mr. Knapp was Introduced by Dr. Luther R. Dyott, pastor of the First Congregational church. Mr. Knapp is one of the lecturers sent out from headquarters at stated in tervals to expound the gospel or Chris tian Science.

It is generally admitted that It heals the sick, bringing peace and comfort from the nature of its curative power. Indeed it has chal lenged our attention, not because of any failure, but because of its succeess tn good works. Far from being an eth leal philosophy, this Is a life to be lived a truth to be proved. "The observation that disease is men tal has aroused the frequent remark, "Well, if pain la all in the thinking, lust think you are well and you will be so." .

Therefore, let this mind e in you which was also In Christ Jesus.' "Before Mrs. Eddy discovered Chris tian Science, she had been searching for years along this line of mental causa tion. She had been studying homeo pathy and learned the mental nature of disease, and that the higher attenuations of medicine which contained the least of the drug and the most mind were the most powerful. She continued her liy vestlgations beyond homeopathy to a mental standpoint, with the question ever before her, whether matter or mind heals the sick. Mrs. Eddy' Instant Cure. "It was at this period of her experi ence that the great spiritual light dawned upon her consciousness, and found her waiting and prepared to re ceive the message. The circumstance which brought this spiritual awakening ana mereDy estaonsned ner conclusions was her remarkable recovery, In the year 1886. from an injury caused by an accident. She was seeking to console ner surrerlng sense by reading passages from the Scriptures, when she caught the depth of Its spiritual Import and was lnstantlv healed. Tills was thn vln dlcatton of her long soarch. for it was the spirit that quickened and she anew it. Now that Mrs. Ertilv had found the comforter, which is the 'spirit of truth,' nd which heals the slrk. she resumed her search of the Scriptures for a scien tific explanantlon of It. that she might impart it to others. She soon learned that the healing operates according to a aivine jaw. and she began to write out her observations. These writings formed the basis of her more complete work known as 'Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures,' which was first published in 1875."

'In many minds there, has been cre ated an uneasy impression that the crit ical studv of the gospel narratives has reduced the history of our Lord's life upon earth to an uncertainty upon which we cannot ouild; but we can be fully assured that the fierce fire of modern criticism has only made it plainer that we have In the gospels a definite and convincing picture of a unique personality. The Bible amply suffices to Introduce to men and women the living friend whom they learn to know better in the light of nearer per sonal communion. "Christianity Is not a 'system,' a speculation," it is a life. It is not a thing of the emotions, but essentially of the will, and therefore the church grays in her collect for today, 'Stir up.

If the statements made last night by Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher in hir address at the White Temple are to be taken as authoritative. Taking as his subject, "Broken Marriage Vows, Dr. Brougher tootc occasion 10 msie a few sensational remarks concerning dancing. If the doctor Is to be believed, men do not dance because of love of music or of art as expressed in rhyth mic motion, but because the walte has the devil in It and because they are actuated by vile passions. Dr. Brough- r maA in nart! "Th modern waltz, with Its so-called full-dress costume for women, I believe to be another prolific source or impur ity. Men do not dance with men only. Women do not usually dance with each other, although they will, If they can not get a man, but men newr dance without a woman. The round dance and the decollette dress are suggestive. The music does not take the devil out of It. "Low wages, combined with the temp tations of difficult clrcurcwtances In life, frequently lead to a violation of this commandment.

Of course, tms is not true, dui n is aiso true that many a youag woman has tn work in the company of men who are so low and devilish that they nev er miss an opportunity to ply them with temptations to evil."

PROTEST MADE OH BiHGE CUT William Slusher Declares Department Seeks to Injure Sheepmen. '(Special IMipatch to Tb Journal.) Pendleton, Or., Nov. 23. Another cut in the number of sheep allowed upon the Wenaha forest reserve for grazing during the season of 1909 has Just beere announced by J. M. Schmlta, supervisor. The reduction amounts to about 8 per cent of the number gVased -last year. The cut falls heaviest upon the own ers of the largest flocks, all permits for over i. 000 sheep being reduced 20 per cent. Holders of permits for smaller amounts than 2.000 hea will be allowed the same number as last year. This ar rangement Is made to afford better op portunities for the smaller sheepmen. The official notice for the cut, which is given herewith, was received with disgust by the bl woolgrowers, most of whom feel that the reduction was abso 1 . ii " " - x- Felt in Nearly N. J. Manager (Ordinary Dept.), Corbett Building lutely unnecessary. "It simply means that the forest service is trying to put us out of business," declared William Slusher when asked about the ruling. "They are driving us out of business. Why, within the last three years they have cut the number of head I am al lowed to run down 40 per cent. It looks as though we would have to do something; else. "In the first place they made a 20 per cent reduction. Last year they cut that 12. per cent, and this year they an nounce' that we can have 8 per cent less than last year. "The reason they give us is that the range won't stand pasturing with the number of stock that were grased last year. . Wo Season for Action. "I have been in the business, long enough to know something about the range and what it will stand, and I never have known It to be in any bet ter condition than it waa this fall. I certainly can't see any real reason for any reduction, and neither can any other sheepman who runs sheep up in the Wenaha range. Just such rulings as this caused the criticism of the for estry department at the state woolgrow ers' meeting at Heppner this week' The following. Is Supervisor Schmits' announcement: Walla Walla. Wash., Nov. IS, 190S Notice to all sheep owners to whom the original permits were issued to graze sheep In the Wensha national for est during the season of 1908: Because of the crowded condition of the range a small reduction of 8 per cent will be made In the number sheep to be allowed for 1909. 1 Prudential Agents are novr canvassing in this vicin ity. They have a most vital story to tell of how Life Insurance has saved the home, protected the widow, and educated the children. Let them tell it to you. This notice Informs you in time that you may make other arrangements rela tive to breeding for the excess number so reduced. The protective limit having been fixed at 1,000 head of sheep, all permits for less than 1,000 sheep may be Increased 20 per cent provided none go above 1,000. All permits from 1,100 to 2,000 to be renewed the same as for 1908. All permits from 1,000 to 1,000 to be reduced 10 per cent, provided none are reduced below 2,000. All permits for over 8.000 to be re duced 20 per cent, provided none are re duced below the nfghest number in the next lower grade below 2,700. ATI those that were given a permit for more sheep than they were en titled to in 1908, on account of running dry sheep or otherwise, will be reduced the same as if no such privilege bed been given them.
