ft DLTEN.SI Christian Science Its Work, Its Purposes and Its S as Toid by a Believer. uccess, By One Who Has Tried It. To the Editor of The Post: A rather sensational heading to an article you published September 0 was called to my attention, and in 'reply I feel you will let met, as a citizen, speak for myself atud my religion, to correct the statements made in your paper. First let me say what the jury said: '"The child died because it had improper treatment and of neglect." Also f a State ment was made that no food, water or nourishmfnt was . allowed the patient. There was not one word of truth in it. The chikl was not negtected "physically. On the contrary, everything .was done for his comfort by the most intelligent Christian women those asked to do so by the" mother. Fresh clothing, bedding, proper food and nourishment were supplied liber ally. It seems, if uudeuied, this would cast reproach upon a 'loving mother, al ready sorrowed by her Joss: also that all who gave evidence against the scientists failed to see that it was against this mother who at such a time, surely had a right to tmj .Christian consideration and kindness of all the people. What mother on earth would det any number of women keep all food, water and nourishment from her sick child".' Who but the mother of her fatherless 'boy had the right to say what she should 1T tot- her child's kelp in time of need? The scientists wero only there because both thti chikl and its mother , wished it so. I would say that the food and nmirish . ment given was beef tea, clear, tomato soup, milk, ogg and milk whipped to gether, hominy and butter, 'toast, ro; -toast, peaches, a few ginger snaps (his first wish), beaten biscuit carried fro.ni any own table: also lemonade, water, crushed ice, and lfe ate oranges. On Wednesday d sent a can of tomato smm and wrote directions for nourish- nu.iif tc. .hii T,ivP,u in-prr three orvfour hours; also that beef tea be made twice a day so it would be fresh. Fresh air was 'always advised: also bathing, and ii 11 comforts were looked after, even the mosquitoes and flies were kept off day and night. - Let me say that the pathetic para graph referred to was .never uttered: for at that time the Christian scientist was out. of the house, the mother having decide! to ehansre the method of treat ment. The scientist -ent down the street with her friend as she went for the physician. The boy wa-s not dying, nor in a dying condition ;hen the case was taken from the scientist. As will be seen from the conversation with the .mother just before she' decided to send lor a doctor, she was told her boy had , fever, but was in -a natural perspira tion, breathing perfectly natural and resting quieuy. The body of scientists here is one of Intelligent people; iu,.-fact,' some of the most intelligent, people here are inter ested in this science. -it wonderful heal - ing. its true revealed depth of religion. Christian science practitioner have healed their million and a half cases their work covering every known dis ease in the world. Their success aver ages from 95 to 97 per cent, although they do lose some cases, and they make no 'claim that they do not. They know that when , their work is understood they will be received more than gladly, for no one can study Chris tian science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy in Science and Health, with key to the scriptures, with then- Bible, with' out 6eeiing that its rules of life carried out will lift the whole of humanity to 'a. higher state, physically, morally and spiritually. The whole motive of Christian science is to destroy' sin and often in healing a physical sickness some fear or sin is destroyed or lessened. Is there any other system of healing under the sun. that has the power while teaching one its healing truth, to make a better Christian of him or to destroy the appetites, &c. that hold one in bondage to their vices? Often in Christian science a drunkard is healed of that curse while being healed of some physical ailment, or one under the curse of the morphine habit rein stated to a free manhood, or the profane man finds no longer a desire to indulge iu that sinful habit. Can such a system be a system of im posture or a delusion or the f ad of an hour's fancy? Can it be dangerous in motive of practice? Can it be that the now. too hackneved explanation, that Christian science treatment is onlv say ing to the sick and weary ones. "There i" nothing the matter with you." be true.' No, that is the nonsense ot tne ignorant. . . Is every system of heahng a delusion because its advocates have, lost cases are those thousands of people who die under other ways and methods every year murdered, even those children of bur own State's -people who perhaps have died of malarial fever or of some of the numerous fever types this sum mer. Were they murdered? Please bear in mind the boy did not lie under Christian science, but ir he had been the first the one case lost in, ' the State, under our treatment, while hundreds may have been lost under vari- ous otner ireauueius m mt-u irsimi ; SCji,,ols why should tue system which did not lose'the one case be labeled mur der and the practitioner libeled murder ' er and the various systems which all see bwe more, not be labeled or libeled in fess' to follow His teachings must strive to keep all liis commands, and tjnristian science enables us to see how we may "go and do likewise."

There were" nearly 1,100 members in attendance. President Walker Hill,' of St. Louis, called the first session to order at 10 o'clock this morning. The delegates hold their session in the roof garden of the Hotel Jefferson, and over flow for com mittee work into adjoining rooms. Gov-t ernor Tyler extended Virginia's welcome and Mayor Taylor, of Richmond, gave the freedom of the city to the- visitors. - After this Colonel J. B. Purcell, in the absence of President Newton, of the Richmond clearing house, made a few remarks, and a speech or two in reply ended the preliminaries. Theu the real work began and reports of vaiious com mittees were received. The four days' program touches some of the chief discussions in which Bank- t! ova i n f n a t ti 1 V Secretary James R.

What has been accomplished will ap pear from the reports of the several com mittees ajid of our secretary and our treasurer.

Its very name shows that it is a substitute for something which is con ceded to be better than the substitute. That there may at times, and m places, be need for more money than is there and then to be n ad, does not, by any means, show a need which justifies the issue of representative money. J he hoardinc of money because of a wide spread belief in its scarcitv. or in a time of panic, will often reduce the amount in active circulation below the temporary needs of the community. Mr. Trenholm in his work.

In concluding, I would remind the members that this is a voluntary organ izatiou without legal means for coercing our members, or others, to measures that a majority of us may d'eem ever so ad visable. We can, only persuade, ami heretofore we have never attempted to i 1 govern m any other maimer, ami imic wisely forborne from going into the de tails of banking and endeavoring to secure uniformity in matters concerning which there must, from the very nature of things, be much diversity of interest and judgment. If a contrary policy were possible the present is an especially in opportune time for its adoption, wnen combinations by capital are viewed with so much disfavor by tne mas&e. Th-it smne nf the leaders of the peo ple should find it to their advantage to decry the patriotism of bankers is, i am sure, a, source ot regret to an uie members of this association; but I may t-pntmrn trt l' without fear Of SUC- l m ui v v v-r y . . - w - cessful contradiction, that no other sm- rie class of men are so aepenueiu on rr.n.,i timitw" ;i s "hunkers, and none do move to make times good or stand 'more bravrty in the breach and sacrince more to s.tem a panic ana avert me un told evils that follow m its trail, .than bankers.

Corn well is chairman. The topic was "The Need of and" Desire for an Education on the Part of the Bank Clerks," and the report in part said: "As never before there is required in every branch of business the most thor ough training, scientific and technical, for the attainment of success under the intense competition that prevails. In no business is this truer perhaps than in the business of hanking in this country, a country which is reaching out through its tremendous export increase for the business of the world. , "There is abundant evidence that' the vonnsr -men who are doing the clerical work in banks in the United states are anxious to avail themselves of any and all knowledge and training which will help them to do their work better and more intelligently. "Your committee is approached in many ways on this subject. For instance, here is a letter written to a leading journal bv a bank clerk. It says in part: " It is my endeavor to get an insight into the many financial , questions, the niasterv of which is so essential to a successful career. My position is such that I am unable to take; one of the courses thatjhave been established in some of our universities, but desire to take the advantage of any opportunity within my reach which will better fit me for my life work. Is the educational committee of the American Bankers' As sociation doing any missionary work in this direction Would an application to the committee be productive of ben efiial results? Any information you can give me in regard to this matter will be greatly appreciated."! Among the addresses to be deliveued . are: ' ' ' "The Treasury and the Money Mar Vot hv Hon. Ellis H. Roberts, treas- nrp'r of th United States; "he Finan cial Fiiture of the United States." by riiarioa A. -onant. of tne .w York Journal of Commerce." and "The Educa- tion of a 1-JanKer, 'ry iieorge nairue, general ada. W II Harrison Favors Simmons for United States Senator Editor Morning Post: - Having noticed several communica tions in your esteemed paper from this place concerning the claims' of the dif ferent candidates for the United States Senate, I desire to present .some reasons whv the Hon. F. M. Simmons should, succeed Marion Butler in the Senate: First. He is well qualified for this ex alted position. He is a man of great abilitv a practical statesman who has demonstrated his ability in a way which is unmistakable. His experience as a leader, as a ' politician, and as an able debater would render his services at the national capital of' inestimable value to the people of the State., 2nd. He is the logical candidate at this time. There are many political 'reasons why .he should be elected. While the other three gentlemen m the neia arc good men men of character and standing in the party there are good reasons political reasons why .none-of. them are available at this time. Thn writer believes that in this opinion he voices the sentiment of tnose i.n North Carolina politics who are in a postion to know as to this fact. " The political re cord of Mr. Simmons, his fitness, and 4ns position at this time all combine to make him the ideal candidate for the senatorsbiv . 3rd. His faithful and efficient services as leader of the Democratic hosts of the State for several years, entitle him, in the opinion of the writer, to the position. With all respect to the other leaders in the State, Mr. Simmons ''has done among us the woi-ks that none other man has done" with the exception of the im mortal Vance. The writer has had some opportunity or judging as to the strength of the dif ferent candidates, having travelled over a large portion of tb ritatc, and from the best information he can gather, be lieves that the people of the State are overwhelmingly for Simmons. Being at Chapel Hill now and judging from the expressed sentiment of the .student body so far as he has had the chance to learn he is of the opinion that this fact is also true of the-m as ot the people ol low State generally: and surely the expres sion of the students of the University is a fair index to the sentiment of the people of the State, coming, as they do, from everv section ot -ortn v. around. n M.
