LARGE CROWD M

"SGIEHGE LECTURE" Bliss Knapp of Boston Ad dresses Gathering of - 500 Persons. - CHRISTIANITY HIGHEST FORFil Healing as Practiced By His Cult Re moves Cause Instead of Effect ,Says He. The principles of Christian Science were explained at a public meeting for the first time in Hammond yesterday, when Mr. Bliss Knapp of Boston addressed a meeting gathered in Masonic hall. . It was a large meeting, attended by most of the best people of Hammond and the speaker was listened to with eagerness from three o'clock, when he began until twenty minutes after four. There were nearly 500 people present. A program, of cello music with piano accompaniment was given by two Chicago ladies, they playing three numbers. The musicians were Miss Eliza beth . Pickens and Mrs. Farling. At promptly three o'clock Mr. Bliss stepped on the platform and was intro duced by Captain J. C. Downing, one of the local directors In the church. Mr. Bliss without many preliminaries went into, his subject, taking it . for granted that his audience had heard enough Christian Science to be reasonably well acquainted with the subject Talk 1 Impersonal. , There was no personality in' his ad dress, other religious denominations were let severely alone and the im pression was voiced that Christian Scl ence is the highest form of Chris tianity. He took issue however, with generally accepted theories, as expounded by the medical profession, much of his address being devoted to this phase There was no arraignment, however, on his part, merely an argument pro and con about medical healing and Christian Science healing. Having cited examples to prove that the mind controls the body, even to the extent of regulating the digestive sys tem and. the circulation he said that the great, difference between the med leal profession and the Christian Science healing lies , in the fact that the medical profession removes the effect while Christian Science . removes the cause. "Christian Science heals mentally as well as physically," said Mr. Bliss, "and doctors are beginnlng.to recognize this,! but they do not want to admit it. Therefor they report to what they term therapeutic suggestions, which Is nothing more than hypnotism and mes merism." . ' No Hypnotism In Science. Mr. Knapp said that there is. nothing of the Christian ' spirit in hynotism or mesmerism, and that it might be resorted to by a heathen or a pagan. , Quoting from the Bible he showed that Jesus Christ never resorted to hypnotism and that he healed in the name of his Father. "Christian Science," said Mr. Bliss in closing, "must be ..studied from a spiritual standpoint and that is the reason it is often so hard for an adult to embrace Christian Science because he would look at it from a material standpoint." Mr. Knapp is a member of the Chrltian Science board of lecturship of the First Church of Christ of Boston, Mass. He went to Terre Haute last evening and will be in Chicago again by the close of the week. BOARD HOLDS ITS FIRST MEETING TODAY. The complete new board of public works now composed of Messrs. Adam Ebert Feter L. Davis and Jacob Schloer was in session this morning for the first time. The appointment of Mr. Schloer was read to the board and approved after which Fred Krost, who had been holding over until the arrival of Mr. Schloer resigned. After the installation of Mr. Schloer, the board began to busy itself with new Improvements and passed a resolution for macadamizing Towle street from Hoffman street to Gostlin street. The city clerk was instructed ,to notify the Calumet and South Chicago City Railway that East State street would be improved in order that the company may regulate Itself accordingly. The specifications for Towle street Improvement call for a westrumlte pavement and unless there are objections and remonstrances this new pavement will receive a further try out in Hammond. WILL MOVE TO CHICAGO. Mr. and Mrs. George Miller, who have resided at 263 Indiana avenue, move to Chicago tomorrow where Mr. Miller will be nearer his work as motorman on the Chicago Union Traction lines. Mr. Miller has been in the employ of the company for the past three weeks, having the Sixty-ninth street run for his territory. REV. CLAUS OFFICIATES AT FUNERAL.

theory of duty. He spoke of the dan-1 ger in men presuming on the fact that they lived good lives morally would not indemnify them against condemnation unless pursued to the end." If a man , who had once been trood. turned I rrom the path of righteousness, he would have to pay for his transeressions. On the other hand the wicked neea not be discouraged, for just bo I sure as the back-slider would be punished, as sure the reclaimed sinner be I rewarded. . When the Scientists would use . sclence In dethroning a personal God we might well ponder, the speaker said, on I the danger of our souls.

I To do away with Christ as a Savior. ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Rev. C. A. Smith of St. Paul's Epls cpal church presented his annual re port to the congregation of his church yesterday, i he review of the years work occupied a' considerable portion of the morning session of the church. I "It has been Rev. Smith's custom for the past eight years during which he has been rector of St, Paul's to present this annual report in which it is his practice, not only! to review the- prog ress that has 'been made but to "make recommendations for the future. The report showed a great increase over last year in every department. The church was never in such a flourishing condition both financially and other wise as at present. In .view of this fact Rev. Smith has laid plans for en larging the scope of the' church work, and advanced ideas which if carried out wiu mean an outlay or $500 or f-00 more this year than has ever been spent In the past. The present communicant list shows an enrollment of 166. Some of the recommendations for the I future which Rev. Smith presented will be-taken up most likely at the vestry meeting which will be held Wednes day night. ST. PAUL'S LTITHERAX CHURCH. In the morning, Rev. Claus spoke j from the gospel of St. John, tenth chapter, eleventh to sixteenth verses. His subject was "Christ the Good Shepherd." The speaker showed how Christ had been predicted in the old testament to come in the guise of a shepherd and how he had fulfilled this prophecy. He was a shepherd through out In his three-fold capacity of priest, prophet and king. As priest he laid down his life for the sheep, as prophet he called the sheep to the fold, and as king he protected his flock. As the second part to the sermon the speaker told what the sheep should do in pay ment for all the Shepherd has done for them. How they should follow his word and abide by him faithfully throughout their lives. in tne evening tne subject was "Christ In the state of Exaltation." FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Rev. J. E. Snook spoke In the morn ing on "God's Care for Comfort of His People." And how all events combined together for their good. Having made the world and people It, he still has a hand in its doings. Men and women snouia regard memseives as eons and daughter of God as actual members of his family. It Is God's purpose for his people,' said the speaker, "that we should grow Ilk, unto Wis Son." A tPlMno- nnlnf in the sermon was the comfort offered in the suggestion that man does not have to purchase his salvation. It be ing offered him a a gift. CHRISTIAN' CnURCH.

TAKES ANOTHER FALL

OUT OF SCIENCE I Rev. W. F. Switzer Preaches Second Sermon Against, Modern Cult. MAKES REPLY TO EASTERDAY Likens Mrs. Eddy's Doctrines to Moorish Palace of World's Fair Fame. Rev. William F. Switzer, of the local Methodist church, , took another fall out of Christian Science in a sermon last evening in whith his most startling statement was "Should Christian Science be followed generally it would undermine the morals of the entire race This statement followed a demon stratlon of the fact that Christian Sci entists deny the reality of sin. "If they deny the realty of sin," aaid Rev, Switzer," they need no longer fear sin or the result of sin and the outcome would be the destruction of the mor als of the community." Rev. Switzer told of receiving a tele of making misleading statements re gardlng the teachings of Christian Science and misquoting Science and Health the Christian Scientists' rule and guide to faith Relied on J. M. Buckley, Rev. Switzer said he had relied on James M. Buckley's quotations from Science and Health and that he re garded Buckley as a man who was so careful and painstaking in his work that he was not likely to fall into error in making Quotations of such ah im i - , portant nature. In addition to that Rev. Switzer said he had a copy of a revised edition of Science and Health and that the quotations were found in that The ouotatlonsJn ouestlon were those used by Dr. Switzer to show that the adherents to this faith denied the per statement that Science and Health Is the Hply Spirit and after showing that there had been several revisions of this text beek, he asked "Why should the Holy Spirit undergo ' re vision?" "He said "Christian Science is ut terly bewildering. It reminds me of the Moorish palace at the World's Fair in Chicago. You get into it and you think you see your way out but you only nnd that you are up against a mirror which only loooked like a door." He disputed the statement of Mr.s Eddy that you can get no reliable in formation from the senses. He asked if a man had his arm cut off, if his senses would not be pretty reliable in informing him that he no longer possessed that member. He said the religion contained a strange mixture or reason and unreason and he pointed to the Christian Sci entist's own belief as accepted in Sci ence and Health that "Illogical reasonine leads to Pracical error."

Reason for Belling; la because It does 1 t At- Apply, THE WIIITING SALOOXKEEPERS ASSOCIATION'. The lid has been found to be too tight in Whiting and early yesterday j morning it was discarded by most of the saloonkeepers. . Most of them were in favor of storing It in the garret, but after more mature deliberations it was thought best to rid the town of it entirely and so be out of danger of having it hauled down again. The lid is not wanted in Whiting and the saloonkeepers are ready to prove ffr w1ll A taat a a m..1i..

SEE SWEET (SWEDE) TILLY OLSON. 'SHE BANE SO YOLLY" Fifty Candy Kids Fifty Hammond business men went to their homes" last Saturday evening with boxes of candy under their arms. Fifty men adjusted their halos as they entered the house and smiled that saintly smile ttfiich is always Interpreted by the knowing housewife as, "I've got something for you." Possible ten of those fifty wives whJ were greeted by their fifty, several husbands with fifty several boxes of candy under their arms has not seen that smile In a long time and wondered at it. It is even possible that one of those fifty husbands had not taken his wife a box of candy in so long that she had actually forgotten when the last box" was received. But the phenomenon Is not explained by a wave of good fellowship which seems to be spreading over the City of i Hammond. There has been no rabid ranting evar.gilist going about preaching to the business men the gospel of being good to their wives. For the information of those trusting house wives it would be well for them to know how their' husbands happened , to get that box of candy. There was a sale of sweets at a local drug store. Dr. H. E. Sharrer was tricked Into buying a box at the special sale price of 39 cents. He was willing to be the goat, but he wanted to have some fun of it and so when Architect Hutton came into the store he was also compelled to buy. The two men then roped in Dr. Oberlin and from that time on these men, formed themselves into a vigilance committee organized for the sole purpose of inducing men to remember their wives with a box of candy. Every man who bought sat around and watched the fun until the drug store was crowded. Victims were even, picked up on the street and forced Into the store and gently, but firmly, ques-. tioned to loosen up. It was not long before the supply of candy was exhausted and then the "rough housers" broke up their fttle party and went home, all of them with a one pound box of candy under their arms. T.he only ones to escape from the clutches of the crowd were "Red" Xoonon and Wilbur Wall. It is easier now to understand why there were so many, "How thoughtful of you dear," last Saturday night. FUNERAL TO TAKE PLACE TOMORROW. The remains of Mrs. Cora Payne, who died last Saturday morning, were shipped to Williamsport, Ind., this morning on the Monon train. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the late home, 707 Michigan avenua by the Rev. C. J. Sharp of the Chris-, tian church in which she was a deaconess. The Interment of Mrs. Payne will take place tomorrow af ternoon. " Miss Diamond is visiting in Chicago today.
