DArfaEBOCS LITERATURE.
Some one has remarked that "good
books are a blessing; all others a
curse." It is a sweeping declara
tion, yet in a great measure true,
for there is a class of books that are
literally a curse I'- th commnnitv.
The kind of publication that may bo
designated as dime-novel literature
is the mot't dangerous imaginable,
especially for boys between the aged
o! fourteen and eighteen. They may
be harmless for people who have j

or their imagination is not easily j
inflammable, but for the minds of
youths they are the rankest poison. ;
How they vitiate the current of life j
in the young has been painfully il
lustrated in the ca.se of three boys,
none of them over eighteen years of
age, upon whom just now terrible
pnoishment has been visited by a
Pennsylvania court.
They were sons of respectable,
even well-to-do parents, living in
happy homes, surrounded by good
influences; offspring of pure moth
ers and honorable fathers. In an
evil hour some cursed yellow covered

If one of I hem should be told that
this sermon does not fully endorse
Christian Science he will, of course,
not read it. The great thing is to
keep within the charmed circle of
faith in the fact that the Divine
Mind is the only reality; that mat
ter and mortal body do not really
exist.
NOT r II KISTI AN.
It is evhleiit. However, to one who
reads and thiuks, that Christian
Science is neither Christian nor
scienlitic. It is tint C hristian, iik-
( AISE IT PEN-IKS THK E X I ST EN" K.
of i'Ei:.-iN a I. (iou, and that there
i. inch a thimj as .in. The Divine
Mind is everywhere and everything;
there is nothing else. We are a part
of it. This sounds lik pantheism,
and was not discovered iu this cen
tury. We road much of it in the
writings of pagan philosophers. If
Christianity teaches any one thing
clearly, it is that sin is a tremendous
fact. Jesus came lo seek and savo
the lost; he was the "frieud of sin
uers;" ho put away sin by the sacri
rice of himself. Calvary became a
fact lx"c;luse sin was a fact. Now,
Christian Science asserts that all
this is a blunder. Those who think
that they are sinners are simply
under an illusion. Thev may be
ktWtHiiHt. ' 4vYi l-tntr1 rWe.f'ls ttS i'i
convinced that they are not sinners,
and they are righteous. A more se
ductive fallacy was never invented.
NOT SCIENTIFIC.
It is not scientific, because it de
nies evident facts, and claims for
facts what universal experiences
proves to be false. Some one has
said, "If you claim that there is no
matter, it is no matter what you
claim." But 6uch a claim has a
great fascination for certain mysti
cal minds. They prefer the mysteri
ous to the plain. The more absurd a
proposition, the more likely they
are to receive it. That there is mat
ter and mortal body every scientist
kn?ws. So real, indeed, is matter
that it is well nigh universally ac
cepted that not one particle of it
has been destroyed. It may change
torms. out goei not out of existence.
Kven Christian Scientists treat their
bodies as though thev were real;
they give them water ami food and
protect them with clothing; they
can be bled and bruised. Through
the body they suffer pain, however
vehemently they may declaim
against its existence.

Men have been genuinely sick
through the imagination. I have

One of them met with the gretting.

him sick.
Men have been killed by sudden
mental shocks some by shocks of

intimately related, and that through
the one nealth or disease can be car

Men and women even refuse to die;

by his consulting physician that he

It is reported on very good au

while she was supposed to be dying,

that he would never marry again.
He hesitated, declaring that he
feared for his six motherless chil

looked him steadfastly in the eye:
declaring her purpose to live: and
she did live.

A Christian Scientist who -goes
the whole length of his conviotious
must t)elievo and advocate some very
silly absurdities. One of them sage
ly tells us that alcohol intoxicates
because such is the general belief.
If all men believed that alchohol
nourished like milk, we might feed
our babies on whisky; ami if art men
believed that milk intoxicated, it
would make ns drunk. If it was a
universal belief that a bunion on
the foot caused derangement, it
would atTect in like a tumor on the
brain. If, on the other hand, all
men agreed that a tumor on th
brain simply worried you and mad
you feel like keepiug your friends at
a distance, such would be the effect
There is no such thing as cold or
heat. 1 hough every thermometer in
Christendom should declare that the
temperature was ten degrees below
zero, it need not allect a consistent
( hristian Scientist; he need not
change his clothing between sum
mer and winter. One of their prac
tising physicians in Baltimore re
marked to a friend of mine, " What
a 1Uihj it would he to the poor if
they would all accept our teaching.
It would save outlays in change of
clothing and in fuel for winter."
Indeed, hunger ie an illusion; all
that we have to do, according to
this fascinating science, to save our
grocery bills ia to ' wake up to the
fact that the immaterial body does
not need immaterial food. "Besiege
sickness and death," says one of
their highest authorities, "with
these principles and all will disap
pear.' Old age is an illusion; there
need be no such thing as fray hairs
and decreptitude. People lose their.
have a salutary effect. All
ienced physicians know the benefit
of "unmedieated pills.'" The patient
may really need no medicine, but
simply a quiet mind. The physi
cian sometimes seeks to give the
quiet mind by administering what
appears to be medicine: and it often
works like a charm.
Sir Humphrey Davy tells how he
cured a patient of fever by means of
a thermometer. He put the ther.
mometer under the patient's tongui
for the purpose of testing the tem
perature. Thinking that the doc
tor was treating him. ho remarked
''I feel bet er." The thermometer
was loft, and, by using it for several
days, the patient recovered. The
quiet mind which he needed was
produced by his faith iu the thermometer.
1 noro is no iiou nt that nun. lie. Is
of people in the time of Charles II.
believed that they were cured "if
scrofula by the touch of the king.
Wo are told that Charles touclu'd
more than one hundred thousand
people. William III. refused to bo
bothered with such folly, and
Maoaulav tells ns that the excite
ment pradueod by his refusal was
almost an incipient revolution. li
made him very unpopular. .Now we
know that the touch of a k.ng has
in it no medicinal properties, but it
has a wonderful effect upon the
minds of the people. They believed
that it would cure them, and with
a quiet mind remedies did better
work. I can believe that persons
wore cu rid of seine .li-etsis In
touching llie bone of the linger of
St. Anne, l.v drinking the water of
Ixnirdcs, go.ng to the house of
Loretto, or by any other means
which they believe has etlieaoy. Any
of those may give the quietness of
mind which is needed by the vital
forces to enable them to build up
the waste places of the body.

Richmond, reported a deficit at tho
close of the fiscal year ending May
, ISOb, of 26,U92, receipts for year
were $102,056, and expenditures
105,118. The past year has beeii
a very hard one for all missions.
The board has a serious financial
problem to meet, which means for
the present a standing still in the
field work. The report of the home
mission board also shows a deficit of
about $3,000. Mission work in
China will not be resumed until
the close of the rebellion, while
many of the convention feel that
Baptist missions have small hopes of
success on the island uu .ier Spanish
rule for years to come.
Over $S)i,000 has been expended
by the Home Mission Board in
building houses of worship, the
increase in mission building more

I thrown from the (rack at AnderBon,
! a small station ten miles south of
here today, by a IIIIBplftood switch.
The cut i re t nun wit h tho excep
tion of tin' body of t he engine, M
derailed and roiled over an embank
ment. Uni' child was killed ami
t wen ty six people were injured, none
of the'm fatallv.
The train was made Bp of one
first class coach, ono Secotld-cUsi
coach, smoking-car, combination
bagtrag ' and mail car, and Tollman
deeper and was mnning at the ru'e
of thiitv-two miles an hour. The
pwitch was turned and locked and
the switch target tdnftcil, indicating
that I ho train was on the straight
track. At the first shock of the en
gine leaving t he I rack , Conductor J.
X. Class pulled the mr brake cord
and set the brakes, bringing the
train almost to an instantaneous
standstill as it left the track and
preventing the telescoping Of the
cars.
There wore 'JuH passengers on tho
tram. f this number twenty-six
were among the injured, though
it is probable that many more re
ceived slight injuries uud were not
included in the list.
Physicians wore hurriedly sum
moned and a relief train went frni
.Savannah to the scene of the wreck.
The injured were attended thrrnd
the more seriously wounded were
brought to the city and taken to tho
Savannah hospital. The confusion
at the wreck made it impossible for
Home time to get at the Injured.
No oflii ial statement can be ob
tained from the-oflieiaU of the road.
The statements of the conductor and
engineer, however, show that the
disaster was the result of a deliber
ate plot to wreck the train. The
place chosen was close by a trestle
crossing the ditch, which was about
Bin feet (Ircji. TIlC probability U
that the plan was to pile the train
into t he ditch. As it wai, the ' tear
car wont over the trestle into the
water.
The motive of the wrecker is yet
unexplained. Deteethos were pot
on the case nt once, but without any
tangible clow to work upon.
Five hundred carpenters have
struck at Detroit for eight hours a
day and '2H cents an hour.

snail L. W illiams of Sitka. Alaska
is in the city. In speaking about
the Alaskan mining excitement he
said: "I think it no exaggeration
to say that fully !,.r00 miners have
flocked into Alaska this season.
This iullux of people has materially
increased the white population. I
believe the latter has double" ilnr
ing the past two years. Favorable
reports are being made about the
gold country around (look's inlet
and some largo finds of the precious
metal are rumored. Tho Yukon
countrg maintains its high icputa
tion for yields of gold in its placer
mines. Last season fully fcl.x'OO.
000 in gold dust and nugoots were
taken out. There is every prospect
of much larger returns for this sea
son. As many as "ii ) miners win
tered in tho Yukon district tho. past
winter. They tuiideled under the
frozen surface of the ground and
brought out tons of rich grave'.
They are now engaged in washing it
out.'"
