Christian Science
Discussed
Lecturer Makes Strong Point that
Universal Belief Does Not
Alter Facts.
The lecture on Christian Science at
the Parmele theater Friday night by
Frank H. Leonard, C. S. B., of Brook
lyn, N. Y., drew a good sized house.
The event was given under the auspices
of the Second Church of Christ, Scien
tist, of this city, and the members feel
highly elated that such general satis
faction has been expressed.
G. F. S. Burton of this city presented
the speaker of the evening, and in his
introduction said in part:
"In this day and age, when material
science is making such wonderful
strides; when so many of our beliefs
and preconceived ideas, entrenched for
centuries in the convictions of the hu
man race, are being shattered and
proven erroneous; and when the sub
jugation of the elements is realized to
be but the comprehension of a demon
strable principle and the perfect pro
cess of reasoning intelligence, thus ful
filling the prophecies and declarations
contained in the Bible, surely it be
hooves us to ponder and inquire, What
is man? who thus has dominion over all
the earth, the sea, and all that therein
is. Man, reasoning man, cannot be
called an accident: He must be admit
ted to be the product of a Supreme
Principle. Even Darwin and Hux
ley the great natural scientists, after
all their research and apparent proof
of material evolution, admitted that
there must "be a supreme principle or
intelligence governing life. And just
recently the material scientists declare
that the human body i3 not composed of
atoms of matter, but that each atom is
a cosmos of Force, and that Force is
God. In the midst of this uncertainty
and dissatisfaction we feel us Cato did,
when in reasoning out the immorality
of the soul, he said, 'It must be so,
hence whence this pleasing hope7"trih
fond desire, this longing after immor
ality?' Every thinking man and woman
is seeking for a practical religion, a
religion that can be lived daily and
hourly; a religion personal, not vicar
ious; a religion that embraces man,
individually and collectively, in all his
thought, in all his action; a religion
that in any circumstance is not found
wanting; a religion not only the for
future but for the NOW."
Mr. Leonard in a man of pleasing
personality, a strong, resonant voice, a
convincing speaker, and he handled his
subject in a masterly manner. In dis
cussing the proposition that universal
belief cannot alter facts, he said,
"What about this belief of sin, disease
and death being real? A universal be
lief is not any more a foundation for
fact than is the belief of a (ingle per
son. To illustrate, let me call your at
tention to the time of Columbus. You
remember that he was treated with
scorn and contempt and cast into prison
because he stood up before the wise
men of his time and said that every
one of their scientific thtses, all their
scientific deductions, all their scientific
experiments to prove that this earth is

flat were worthless, because the earth
is a sphere. Who was right? Colum
bus was right, of course, and the wise
men were all wrong. What effect did
the universal false belief have on the
shape of the earth? None whatever!
The earth continued to be a sphere just
the same. What effect did the false
belief have on the people who believed
it to be true? So long as the people
believed the false belief to be true, they
were held within the narrow confines
of that belief, and stayed on that little
speck of the earth's surface because
they feared if they sailed beyond a cer
tain point they would fall off the edge
of the earth onto that something or
nothing on which Atlas did or did not
stand when he did or did not hold up
the earth.
"For ages those who have deemed
themselves wise in religious matters
have held the world in the grip of the
belief that God is either directly or in
directly responsible for sin, disease
and death; and until we break that
false belief, until we turn away from
it as the prophet E'.ckiel implored the
Israelites to do when he said, "Turn ye,
turn ye from your evil ways; for why
will ye die, "we shall continue to sin,
we shall continue to be sick, and con
tinue to die. God, as the supposed
creator of good and evil, of life and
death, sin and disease, is not the God
of the Christian Scientists, nor is He
the God of the inspired Scriptures,
which teach that He is the same yester
day, today and forever, without vari
ableness or shadow of turning. The
letters C. S. stand not only for Chris
tian Science, but for common sense as
well, and it is common sense, because
it is my sense and your sense; it is a
sense that belongs to all of us; and
Christian Scientists have nothing that
is not yours; they are simply putting
into use what non-Christian Scientists
are letting lie dormant in their thought.'
Inttalling Big Machinery.
Lee C. Sharp left yesterday for a
trip through the east for the purpose
of installing a lot of can manufacturing
imchinorjLwhich his company has built
and delivered during the past summer.
To a representative of tho News-Herald
he stated that the company has
had a most prosperous season, the busi
ness widening out remarkably consider
ing the fact that but little advertising
has been done, only recently inquiries
being received from Melbourne and
Brisbane, Australia.
The points sold at by Mr. Sharp
which he will visit during his trip and
install plants, include Fairport, N. Y.,
New York City, Baltimore, Washing
ton, Pittsburg, Chicago, St. Louis and
LaCrosse. At the present time the
brothers are operating a shop and
foundry in Omaha, the best of their
kinds west of Chicago, and have now
under construction on South Fourteenth
street another shop which will be a
model of excellence.

First Week of School.
Friday closed the first week of the
city schools for the fall term. The en
rollment in the High school is 155 and
for the grades about 900, just about
the same as last year. Superintendent
Gamble had made all possible prepara
tions in advance so that no time was
lost in organization and the close of
the first week shows the student body
already hard at work on the coming
year's grind. A considerable number
of changes are to be noted in the corps
of teachers, the complete list for the
coming year being as follows:

The Labor Day festivities, which ow
ing to the inclemency of the weather
were postponed from last " Monday till
Saturday, were all that could have been
asked. The day was fine, large crowds
were in from tne surrounding country
and the d fferent events provided for
the amusement of the people were
thoroughly enjoyed by those present.
The feature of the day was the pa
rade of the shop employes. Each de
partment provided a float, and the rival
ry between them resulted in a half a
dozen of as nice floats as were ever rep
resented in a parade it this city. Fol
lowing this occurred a hose cart race
between two of the local companies, and
a nozzle fight which was much enjoyed
by the crowds. The ball game at four
o'clock between the local team and
Cedar Creek drew a good crowd. Platts
mouth carried off the honors by a score
of 7 to 1.
Big Advertising Campaign.
M. E. Manspeaker made a business
trip to Lincoln Thursday in connection
with his agency for the J. I. Case
Threshing Machine Co. Mr. Manspeak

this machincry.and the manager of the
Lincoln division took occasion to com
pliment him highly upon same. Mr.
Manspeaker is very enthusiastic in re
gard to the many excellent features of
Case machinery and does not believe
that he has exceeded the truth in any
of his advertised statements. During
the past four months he has used over
1500 inches of space in this paper.

For a long time I had trouble from my

complete relief. This remedy has my
hearty endorsement. " (Statement
given June 9, 1806.)
