END IS NOT YET IN SIGHT. SLondon Papers Comment Gravely on the Situation. London, July 13. The weekly reMews comment gravely on the Japanese-American situation. They express relief that -the immediate tension appears to have been relieved, but they lorsee that it is not impossible, in the more or less" distant future, that the eame problem should confront Great 'Britlan that now confronts the Unitled States. ' -1 The Spectator publishes a thoughtful article In which, although it dismisses the idea that war between Jajan and America is wholly increditjable. it admits with reluctance that the situation contains many elements fot anxiety, saying it is almost inevitable that there should come a convict sometime or other, out of the LAnglo-Saxon resistance to the landing fot Japanese immigrants in the territories bordering the Pacific ocean. The colonists of Australasia, Africa tnd Canada, are as anxious as the people of California to exclude the fellow races. With all respect toward Japan, the Spectator is unable to withhold its sympathy from the colonists. It says circumstanoes have forced the Americans to be the pioneers in working out the problem, but 4t is impossible to foresee how soon Another series of incidents may not 2ring Great Britlan face to face with jvimllar difficulties. Consequently, the paper expresses the moat earnest iope that the British government land press will do the utmost in their 5?ower to assist in the promotion of a peaceful and enduring solution of the American-Japanese problem. "With all sympathy and admiration for Japanese aspirations and the Japanese themselves, we must admit," tho reMew concludes, "that Great Britain's Jirst and last duty is to her own flesh "jnd blood."

A Defense of Christian Science ANSWER TO DR. J. M. THURSTON BY R. STANHOPE EASTERDAY.

Editor Palladium and Sun-Telegram: Dr. J. M. Thurston, writing again on the subject of Christian Science in your columns on a recent date makes a further, but as ever, a futile effort to explicate Christian healing as practiced by Jesus, and again today attempted with gratifying success by Christian Scientists, from the view point not of Christian ethics, but of "vitalism." The writer heads his article with the quotation, "Know thyself. Presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind Is man." Worship and service of the "creature more than the creator" is a sin common to all mankind. Finite human conception is bounded by the narrow horizon of physical or material limitation, and a proper conception of deity or of man in God's image is gained only by a slow process of spiritual education and developement. Environment, precedent and dogma must be risen above, and man must "take no thought for the body." It is but reasonable to conclude that if man is the Image and likeness of God, the eye of human faith ana understanding should constantly turn to the perfect model, to the original and uncontorted source of all true being, in order to gain anything like a true conception of the origin, possibilities and ultimate of human destiny. The artist keeps his eye on his model, not upon some more or less imperfect work of his own or of another's past effort. Chris tian Scrence, basing its reasoning upon scriptural premises, arguing in compli ance with commonly accepted lawa of scientific reasoning, arrives at logical and Incontrovertable conclusions. The scriptures inculcate that God is omnipotent, omniscent and omnipresent, that God i3 spirit, mind. Christian Science makes this the major premise in its process of syllogistic reasoning. The scriptures further declare that man Is God's image and likeness. This generally accepted fact constitutes the necessary minor premise. The only possible and logical conclusion i3 the one basing all Mrs. Eddy's system of teaching and practice, given In the following words in her text-book on Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," "Hence man is not material, he is spiritual." (Science and Health, page 4(18.) It should be noted Just here that while refuting the commonly accepted theory that man is wholly or In part material, the Christian Science process dedtices that man is, not "a spirit" as our critic wrongly Infers, but that man is "spiritual." If our good critic questions the truth of our major premise on the ground that he considers the term divine Mind a myth, he should recall that he himself has designated deity "Omnipotent, Omniscience," that John in his graphic account of the creation denominates the first great cause the "Word," while all must reasonably concede that the "mind which was also In Christ Jesus," and for which our Lord's followers are urged to strive in all generations to the extreme point of bringing "every thought" Into absolute subjection tnereto. is none other, can be none other than the mind of the Father, the mind of God, in other words the "divine mind." Dr. Thurston argues the impropriety of coupling the terms "Christian" and "science" as Mrs. Eddy has done in naming her system. We have already, we believe, proven the method of reasoning in Christian Science teaching to be 'scientific." Let us see if there Is not further evidence of Christianly and scientific attributes to the system. Supporting his own contention to the contrary, the writer attempts to limit, all unwarrantably, the scientific application of the "fundamental doctrine of Christ" to the realm of "civic righteousness." Jesus in his demonstration of Christian principles healed disease and deformity, even raising the dead and walking on the water and through walls of solid masonry, doing all these things, as he himself pointedly alleged, in fulfillment of "the law." In the generally accepted sense of the word, "science" means knowledge classified or systematized and based upon fixed laws or principles. If therefore Jesus truly performed these seemingly marvelous and tinscientific feats in accord with "law" and the divine will, it must reasonably be concluded that in spite of the fact that their achievement was in seeming contravention of so-called material law, they must have resulted from the demonstration of a higher, spiritual law, hence were pre-eminently "scientific" as well as Christian. The system which Mrs. Eddy has outlined in her book "Science and Health" is but a recapitulation of the teachings of Jesus, and the healing in Christian Science results from the demonstration of the same spiritual and basic law of man's being which Jesus demonstrated, hence Christian Science is rightly so-called by its Discoverer and Founder, Mrs. Eddy. It is indeed true as our critic alleges that science is one thing and Christianity as taught by many Christian religions is another,' but the Christianity of Jesus conforms with true science In every respect. Reason and Revelation can be reconciled ever, but Reason and human opinions seldom, "for the carnal mind is enmity against God neither can it know the things of God." Only in so far as what is commonly termed "science," well designated "physical science," assumes a spiritual and metaphysical basis, as it is already quite rapidly doing, can it be made to coincide either with commonsense or the bible. Our good critic's quotations from Holy- Writ, in attempting to support.

his various contentions, are in themselves damaging to his argument in many instances, and fail even to bear out the old, and In a sense true, maxim that anything can be proved from the bible. Arguing that the mighty works cLJesu3 were but credentials .pointing the divinity of his embassage to earth, he inadvertantly quotes our Lord's own words to the contrary, "but no sign shall be given." Contending for the reality and necessity of a material body, he cites the apostolic injunction to "sacrifice" this same body, and that furthermore as a "reasonable service." Proceeding further he quotes In unwitting support of our own contention, "For we know that if our earthly tabernacle of this house were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Just here let us note a few further scriptural facts. The sacrifice of the body above referred to is designed to be a "living" sacrifice. Significantly did the sage prophecy, "neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. Our Lord's body escaped the worms, the material merely giving place to ,the spiritual, in the consummation of his earthly mission on the mount of ascension, wherein the same body that had been racked with pain on the cross, and fed on honey comb in the upper room, became no longer cognizable to the physical senses of his disciples. "There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body." "As we have borne the image of the earthy we shall also bear the image

of the heavenly." Presence with our Lord in his perfect demonstration of life eternal entails as In Paul's time absence from the body, "for our conversation is In heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he Is able to subdue all things unto himself." Jesus signal victory over sin, sickness and death, precludes the possibility that any one of this awful trial of evils may or does prove a stepping stone to immortality, while the last clause of this scriptural quotation inculcates that the attainment of life eternal results from conquest. Far from arguing, as our critic so ridiculously Intimates, that the Lord's struggles and sufferings in the flesh were not real, Christian Scientists maintain that "He was tempted in all points like as we are," and recalling his sublime victory over all, and his imperative and encouraging command, "the works that I do shall ye do also," they press as did valiant old Paul, "toward the mark" of idealistic but possible attainment. It is but just to state also at this point that already they rejoice in progress, for the healing of countless numbers of all manner of disease attests the efficacy of their Christian system of spiritual healing and their own spiritual growth. Our critic's quotation of the passage in the second chapter of Genesis, worded, "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul," raises an Interesting question. Already in the first chapter of this same book, it will be recalled, we have had the account of the creation of man "in the image of God", a creation which was pronounced in the inscrutable wisdom of God himself "very good." In the passage quoted by our critic, however, man is declared to have been created by the "Lord God" and this time out of dust, which dust was afterwards" cursed for man's sake and made to bring forth "thorns." Is it not reasonable to conclude, as Mrs. Eddy has so clearly pointed in "Science and Health," that the first account is the authentic one, that God, Spirit is the author of creation and all his work spiritual and good, while the second account (for loth cannot be true) but sets forth the human misconception of the true God and of his creation including man ia the image and likeness of Spirit, not sprung from dirt? Recall in this connection, dear reader, the account in Ecclesiastes of the common experience of dissolution of this mortal body, especially the verse quoted by our critic, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Our critic's exposition of the complicated anatomy of the human body presents weak points aside from conflicting scriptural quotations. He maintains that some mystic "force" works "unerringly" in the construction and operation of the human organism. Disease and deformity everywhere in evidence seem to argue to the contrary. It is true that he somewhat apologetically maintains the "benevolence" of "those aberrant vital actions," but we doubt if his practice bolsters his assumption in his own rsonal experience when pain attacks his body. Jesus certainly argued otherwise, since he invariably healed such conditions and his insinuation that man's body Is the temple of the Holy Ghost was clearly his Incentive, in great part, at least for such healing work and an effectual argument against unhealthful and unwholesome bodies. Without question. Christian Scientists will agree with Dr. Thurston in his assertion that Bible If read with inbiased mind and not "to bolster up some dogmatic doctrine or philosophy (even of medicine)" its truth will be grasped and its universal practicability demonstrated. It should be remembered however that the dictum of scripture on this point is, "Except ye become as a little child." Spiritual things must be discerned spiritually,' we would again call to mind, while it; is all too true that the carnal mind 1 with Its multiform so-called recreations and misconceptions of the true is itself, and so also all its products.
