Editor Statesman:
Christian , Science, or so-called
Eddyism, should not be confused
with theosophy, spiritualism, Dow-ie-ism,
or any other lam; nor
would , anyone who. really, under
stands Christian Science ever In
clude It with, religions classed, aa
false or as man-made doctrines.
Christian f Science fundamentally
differs from other, religions, ln-
' eluding those, which, Mrs. Demar
est is reported In your, issue of the
13th to have denounced as the
false religions of our day, and
which, she say?, catch, armies of
giddy converts.
It is quite true that: Christian
Science has attracted thousands
and tens of thousands jot people,
but they are well-known to be peo
ple possessing Intelligence and
common sense. They are people
who for various reasons have
never before found-a religion or
system of healing that 'satisfied
them, and to whom Christian Sci
ence has appealed -because of its'
Irresistible and irrefutable. logic
and practicality.
If Christian "Science Is to be
.considered a false religion, so also
must Christianity be considered
false, for Christian Science Is no
more nor lesa than the Science of
Christianity, that same Christian
ity which Jesus of Nasareth found-t
' ed. taught: and practiced. True
science must necessarily be know
ledge, systematized knowledge, of
that which is demonstrably; true.
The so-called natural sciences do
not measure, up to that definition
of true science, but spiritual Sell
, ence .does.. Natural , scientists in
cur day are freely, acknowledging
the uncertainty of,, their, many
theories about things material,
and , are even questioning among
themselves the actual existence of
matter. except; perhaps as . some
form of magnetic force. Jesus de
clared that God Is Spirit, and He
taugt that His Kingdom la spirit
ual, also that things spiritual are
the cnlr things worth while, . The
flesh, he said, profiteth nothing.
IlaaSind would indeed be without
"here, and without God In the
world" If Christianity Is not truly
.dentins. if it. is not Immutably
true, provable tnd practical.
Let us take Mrs. Demarest at
her word. "It." she Is reported
as saying, "one wacta to get the
tr-tl i' ct any great system of
tc. : t; ce should go to the orig
ial to-rcer tt it is C-rist
lan Scisnce," Mrs.' Eddy can tell.lt
test; and it It is Christianity,
je-us C.ri-tla the authority."
ilrs. E'-f, ia the Christian Sci
ence . text-book. "Science and
Health, with Key to the Scripture-"
(rase 135) says: ;
"It tas tsea sal-,. nd truty,
tlsat Christianity, must be Science
and Science must be Christianity,
else cne pr the other Is, false and
ue'.sss; but neither Is .'unimport
ant or untrue.: and .they are alike
in demonstration. This provesthe
ore to tr Identical with the other.
Cl.rili:ty as Jesus taught It was
- not a creed, nor a system of cere
monies, nor. a special, gift from a
ritualistic Jehovah; but it was the
dsraonstratlon of. divine Love cast
les out error and healing, the sick,
not merely in the name of Christ,
or Truth, but la demonstration of
Truth, as- must be the ease In the
cycles of divine light."
A religion which heals the sick,
I comforts the sorrowing, reforms
the sJaner. and overcomes all
kinds of mental -and physical ills,
at i' thus has proved Itself to M
: C-rtatiaaty scientific.-as Christian
fclence has done,; is surely not a
"f.!se ' religion nor- a man-made
doctrine." ''"'.'.
. Mrs. Demarest again shows how
little she has grasped the teach-
legs of Christian Science when she
says, In your issue of, the 17th,
"You can't take an Intellectual
Christian Science : down to the
slums and . save men and women
from their, sins by saying that
there is no sin -they have been
sa. terribly steeped' In 1 sin, and
-kaowrhow dreadfully real It ls.7
-That is just the point The sin
ner suffers the effects of sin t be
cause he iias , Indulged In , . that
which te continues, to believe Is
so "dreadfullv real." True, the
, sinner cannot be saved by. merely
' dlarir.s there is no sin, some
thing more than that Is required,
but Christian Science is never

theless eminently successful in the
work of saving sinners, by reason
of its teachings regarding the un
reality of all evil. ?To put down
the claim of sin," we read In Sci
ence & Health (page 447). "you
must detect It. remove the mask.
point out the Illusion, and thus
get the victory over sin and so
prove Us unreality.'! ;
And again, on page 339: "Since
God Is All, there Is no room for
His unllkeness. God, Spirit, alone
created all. and called It good.
Therefore evil, being contrary to
good. Is unreal, and cannot be the
product of God. , A sinner can re
ceive no encouragement from the
fact that Science demonstrates the
unreality of evil, for the sinner
would make a reality of ; sin,
would make that real which Is un
real, and thus heap up 'wrath
against the day of wrath He is
ini-nin in a conspiracy against
himself, against his own awaken
ing to the awful j unreality by
which he has been deceived."
Then Mrs. Eddy adds, "Only those,
who repent of sin and forsake the
unreal, can fully understand the
unreality of evil. ' ?

Prune Growers Form
New Union to Handle
Business of Industry
PORTLAND, May 22. With all
tot the prune growing Interests of
the Pacific northwest agreed upon
the principles of a Joint marketing
federation, there is general activ
ity in the different prune districts
toward the organization of the adt
dltlonal local units that will carry
cut this plan. : Mt .
The Polk county, district, Is tak
ing a leading part In this activity.
following a meeting of the prune
growers held at'Dallas an May 17.
The meeting was called to order
by Dr. A. B. Starbuck, a large
local prune grower, and chairman
of the committee of nine which has
been-actlve for more than a year
In ' working out the all-northwest
prune federation plan. ;
The first speaker was Frank E.
Andrews, president "or the Port
land Chamber of Commerce, who
announced , that the ' business-like
marketing of agricultural prod
ucts was one of the chief needs
of the state, toward which his or?
ganlzatton was striving.
Col. E. E. Faville, chairman Of
the marketing committee of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce,
also endorsed the plans of the Polk
county local unit 'organization,
stating that business and labor
were already organized and that
agricultural Interests also must or
ganize, i -
Isaac D. Hunt. Portland hanker
and owner of a 20-acre prune or
chard near Springbrook. prophe
sied that the new local unit prune
organization plan would sweep the
state. C. J. Hurd, marketing ex.-
pert from Oregon Agricultural jcolj
lege, likewise endorsed 'the plan
and R. H. Kipp, manager of the
marketing department of the Port?
land Chamber of Commerce, read
the contract proposed for the Polk
county, cooperative prune growers
association which requires a 70
per cent minimum sign-up In order
to become effective. -
As a result of the Dallas meet
ing, contracts were'signed by prac
tically all of the largest prune
growers of the county, most of
whom nave never before been as
sociated with any prune market
ing organization. : Among , those

Organization work in Polk
county will continue actively until
the new plan has been presented
to every prune grower, and it
seems assured, that this will be
come one of the strongest prune
marketing local units in the north
west. The local organization com
mittee will be assisted In their
work by Kenneth C. Miller, for
mer president of the Oregon Grow
ers, v. -f Tt'' i' .'; ; t
According to agreement with
the Oregon Growers Cooperative
Prune association their Polk coun
ty members will be permitted to
sign contracts with the new Polk
county local unit, and as soon as
the Polk county local unit is com
pleted these prune growers will
retain membership only in the
Polk county Cooperative Prune
Growers' association: : ' ? ;
In continuation of the state-wide
organization program, looking to
ward the formation of the North
west Prune, federation, a meeting
of prune growers will be held May
24 at Xewberg to assist in the com
pletion, of the Springbrook local
unit. Also, the Dundee Fruit
Growers & Packers will open their
books for the admission of new
prune growers living adjacent to
the Dundee prune placking plant..
Organization activities are also
under way in Douglas ' county
where one or more local units soon
will be organized. , Then will folT
