Pounded by IMr. Manners on His Great Play of tlie Same Title Illustrations - From Photographs of the Play f I: Copyright. 1913. by Dodd, Mead C Company CHAPTER XII. Ethel and Brent. ETHEL dropped her grtze from his face and said, with the suspicion of a smile 1 'laying around Ler "If you had the right to nif;ke lore to me straitrhtforwardly you wouldn't do it." He looked at her iu amazemcnt- "What do you mean?" he'tn'H ed. "It's only lieeause you haven't the riirht that you do it by suggestion." Hthel pursued. "How can you say that?" And he put all the heart he was capable of into the question. "You don't deny it." she said quietly. He breathed hard and then said bit terly: "What a contemptible opinion you must have of me!" "Then we're quits, aren't we'."" "How?" he asked. "Haven't you one of me? "Of you? Why. Ethel" "Surely every married mnn must have a contemptible"' opinion of the wo man he covertly makes love to. If he hadn't he couldn't do it. could he?" Once again she leveled her cold, im passive eyes on 1! rent's flushed fare. "I don't follow you," was aJ Urent Eaid. "Haven't you had time to think of an answer?" "1 don't know what you're driving at." he added. Ethel smiled her most enigmatical smile. "Xo? I think you do." Sdie waited a moment, l'.rent said nothing. Tliis was a new mood of Ethel's. It bal'led him. l'resontly she relieved the silence by asking him: "What happened last night?' He hesitated. Then he answered: "I'd rather not say. I'd sound like a cad blaming a woman." "Never mind how it sounds. Tell it. It must have been amusing." "Amusing:" He bent over her again "Oh. the more I look at you acd listen to you the more I realize I should nev er iiavc married." "Why did you?" came the cool ques tion. lirent answered with all the power nt his command. Hrre was the mo ment to lay his heart bare th:.t Ethel iniirht see. "Have you ever seen a yours hare, fresh from its kind, run headlong juto a snare? Have you ever seen a young rpan free of tbe trammels of college tLisli into a net? I did: I wasn't trap wise." He paced the room restlessly, all the self pity rising in him. He went on: "Heavens, what nurslings weare wle-a we lirst feel our feet: We're like children just loose from tlie lead ing strings. Anything that glitters ca: In s us. Every trap that is set for our unwary feet we drop into. I did dropped in. caught hand and foot, mind and snul." Sour;" queried Ethel, with a note of doubt. "Yes.'' he answered. "I'oift you mean body?" sue sug gested. ' Itody. mind and soul'" he said, with an air of finality. "Well, boclj- anyway," summed tip Ethel. "And for what?" he went on. "For whnt. Love: Companionship! That i what we build on in marriage. And what did I realize? Hate and wran gli!ii.r; wraugiing. just as the common herd, with no advantages, wrangle and make it a part of their lives, the zest to their union. It's been my curse." "Why wrangling?" drawled Ethel. "She didn't understand." "You?" asked Ethel, ia Furpr.se. "My thoughts, my actions!" "How curious:" "You mean you would?" "I'robab'y." "I'm sure of it." lie tried to take her hand. She drew it away u:ul et tled herself comfortably to listen again: "Tell me more al.t i:t Jour wife." "The slightest attention shown to any other woman wtji.t a ridiculous, a humiliating seene." "Humiliating?"' "Aren't doubt and suspicion liumil iating?" "They would be a compliment in some cases." "How?" "They would put a fictitious value n some men." "You couldn't humiliate in tbt.t way," ho ventured slowly. "Xo. I don't think 1 could. If u man f-howed a preference for any other woman she would be quite welcome to 1 him." "No man could"" said Erect insin uatingly. She looked at him coldly a moment. "Let me see where were you? Just' married, weren't you? Go en" I "Then came the ha by." He said; that -with a significant "tnean'iig andj paused to see the tZa':tQik Et-heh. - If. it had any Ethel effectually concealed it. Her only comment was: "Ah!" ' I'.reut.weut. en , "One ,woId think Chat would change things. Iht no. Neither of us want ed her. Neither of us loves her. Chi! dren should come of love, not hate. And she Is a child of hate." lie paused, looking intently at Ethel. She looked iinderspaiidinsly at him, then dropped her eyes. Erent went on as if following up an advantage: "She sits in her little chair, her small, wrinkled, old. disillusioned face turned to us. with the eyes watch ing us accusingly. She submits to ca resses as though they were distasteful, as if she knew they were- lies. At times she pushes the Hearing face away with her little baby lingers." He stoi ped. watching her eagerly. Her eyes went down. "I shouldn't tell you this. It's ter rible. I see it in your face. What are you thinking?" "I'm sorry," replied Ethel simply. ' Tor iae?" "For your wife." "My wife?" he repented, aghast. "Yes," said Ethel. "Aren't you? No? Are you just sorry for yourself?" Erent turned impatiently away. So this laying open the wound in his life was nothing to Ethel. Instead of pity for him. all it engendered in her war sorrow for his wife. How little women understood him! There was a pathetic catch in his voice .as he turned to Ethel and said reproachful'y: "You think me purely selfisli?" "Naturally," she answered quickly. "I am. Why not be truthful about our selves sometimes? Eh?" "We quarreled last night about you!" he said desperately. "Eeaily?" "Gossip has linked us together. My wife has ifeard it and put the worrt construction on it." "Well?" "We said things to each other lie: night that can never be furgircr. cr forgotten. I loft the house ani .r?Vt.:l the streets hours: I looi-.ed ny v.-.V.ti life back and through az ';h:ugl'. I: were some stranger's."

Ethel said nothing. He came back to her in a few mo ments. "1 tell you we ought to be taught we ought to be taught, when we are young, what marriage really means, just as we are taught not to steal, nor lie, nor sin. In marriage we do all three when rve're ill mated. We steal affection trom some one else, we lie in o';r lives, and we sin in our relation ship." Ethel asked him very quietly: "Io you mean that you are a sinner, a thief and a liar?" Erent looked at her in horror. "Oh. take some of the blame!" said Ethel. "Don't put it all on the wo man." "Y'ou've never spoken to me like thi3 before." "I've often wanted to," replied Ethel; then the asked him, "What do you in tend doing?" ".Separate." he answered eagerly. "You don't doctor u poisoned limb when your life depends on it; you cut it off. When two lives generate a deadly -poison, face the problem as a surgeon wouJd amputate." "And after the operation what thep ?" asked Ethel. "That is why I am here facing you. Do you understand what I mean?" "Oh, dear, yes perfectly! 1 have been waiting for you to get to the point." "Ethel:" and he impulsively stretch ed out his arms, embracing her. She drew back slightly, just out of his reach. "Walt." She looked up at him quiz zically. "SupiKjse we generate poison? What would you do amputate me?" "You are different from all other women." "Didn't you tell your wife that when you asked her to marry you?" He turned away impatiently. "Don't say those things. Ethel; they hurt." "I'm afraid. Christian. I'm too frank. Am 1 not?" "You stand alone. Ethel. Y'ou seem to look into the hearts of people and know why and how they beat." "I do sometimes. It's an awkward faculty." He looked at her glowingly. "How marvelously different two women can be. You my wife!" Ethel shook her head and smiled her calm, dead smile: "We're not really very different. Christian. Only some natures like change. Yours does. And the new have all the virtues. Why. I might not last as long as your wife did." "Don't say that. We have a com mon bond understanding." "Think so?" "I understand yon." "I wonder." "You d me." "Yes ii;:t is just th difTxuIty." "I tell you I am at the crossroads. The finger hoard points the way to me distinctly." "Does it?" "It does." lie leined across to her. "Would von risk it?" "What? :?e asked. "I'll hide nothing. I'll put it all be fore you the snubs of your friends: the whisper of a scandal that would grow into a roar: afraid t open a uewspnper, fearing what might be printed in it: life at lirst in some lit tle continental village, dreading the passers through, keeping out of sight lest they should recognize one No. It wouldn t be fair to you.' Ethel thought u moment, then an swered slowly: "No, Chris. I don"t think it would." "You see I am a cad just a selfisii cad:" "Aren't you?" and she smiled up at him. "I'll never speak of this again. I would have sjioken now only I'm dis-tr.K-;ed completely distracted. Will you forgive nie for speaking as 1 did?" "Certainly." said Ethel. "I'm not offended. n the coiitrary. Anyway, I'll think it over and let you know." "You will, realty T he asked greedily, grasping' at the straw of a hope. "You will really think it over?" "I will, really." "Anl when she sets me free," he went on. "we could, we could" He sud'b:i!y shopped. She looked eo'!y at him as he hesi tate 1 and s;'.M. "It is a dilheult lirtle word at times, isn't it?" "Would you n:trry me?"" he asked, with a supreme effort. "I 1 -over cross n:r bridges n::ti! I come to tleOM." s.'id Ethel languidly. "Ai d we're ii'-li a long way from that one. aren't "?"' "Then I ai i to wait?" "Yes; d ." she replied. (To Be Continued.) The next time you are in need of four, try a sack of Forest Rose. Sold by all dealers.

New Y'ork City Temple had its usual crowded audience when Pastor Itnssoll spoke here tonight. His sermon, a con tinuation of his masterly discourse of last week, was based on the text. "There shall be no more death, nei- ther sorrow, nor crying, neither shtll there be any more patn.' (Iiev. 21:4.) He said in part: In our address of last week having, we believe, fairly stated the facts and churns of Christian Science and having pointed out the unreasonableness and inconsistency of some of its statements, we now proceed to Inquire whether its teachings are Scriptural. This is the question of special interest to i:s. The others are merely incidental. We hold, and will endeavor to show, that Chris thin Science is in conflict with the Holy Scriptures. The liible distinctly avers that God created man perfect in His own like ness, morally, intellectually. It de clares that Adam's disobedience wins sin. punishable, not with eternal tor ment, but with death. Romans o:12: 0:2".; 1 Corinthians 15:21. 22; Genesis 2:17; 3:17-10; Exekiel 1S:4. 20. Christian Science denies these facts, declaring that there is no death and that whoever dies merely commits "mortal error." It is surely against Christian Science, but conlirmatory of the liible teaching, that for more than six thousand y?ars mankind have been dying. Even "Mother Eddy." who was expected not to commit "mortal error," finally succumbed to it. What answer can our Christian Science friends make to this? We know of none, except that they might claim that the unreasona bleness of their position is no greater than the unreasonableness of any of the other sects and creeds. Logic nev er seems to be taken iato consideration in religious matters; the more illogical a statement, the more commendable the acceptance of it. If all disease is error, if death is the greatest of errors, and if the escaping of "mortal error" death brings the re ward of everlasting life, how do our Christian Science friends expect to get everlasting life, when at the last mo ment of their trial they make failure? For those of theni who are at all logi cal, this must be another very jorp!ex ii.g problem. The liible declares that whoever fails in one int is guilty of all the Law. (James 2:10.) Surely be who commits "mortal error" has failed in attaining the desideratum of Chris- tian Science more than in all the other failures of his life in combating all oth er things: If "mortal error" thus takes hold at the dying moment, what hope would there be for such a person as re spects everUisting life, if only to over comers will be granted that life and if none of them overcome, but all suc cumb to "mortal error"? The corollary of the argument would be hopeless death for all mankind. In this conclu sion the Bible agrees. "The wages of sin is death"; sin. "mortal error," brings death. E.ekiel 1S:4; Genesis 2:17; Romans What the Scriptures Say. The Liible logically and beautifully Ioiuts out God's compassion for our race and His provision in Christ foi wur recovery out of this death condition by a resurrection from the dead. Tin; liible logically shows that the Divine sentence of death (not torment) must be met either by humanity or by a Re deemer, and informs us that for this purpose Christ left His Heavenly glory, that He might redeem Adam and his race from sin and its death penalty. So the Apostle writes by inspiration: "As by a man Adam came death, by a man also Jesus comes the resur rection of the dead. For as all in Adam die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:21. 22.) What is this but a declaration that the sin leading to "mortal error" is atoned for by Divine favor, to the intent that all sinners may be rescued from "mor tal error" from death? The Bible is so much more reason able and beautiful that, we believe, Christian Scientists, seeing its teach ings with clear vision, will gladly ex change an inferior for a superior. Why should they bind themselves too close ly to "Mother Eddy." who according to her own theory failed in the highest de gree, in committing "mortal error" and hopelessly? Would they not rather take the older and still better teaching cf God's Word, and realtre that Jesus' resurrection from the dead was the Di vine recognition of His rerfect sacrifice and a guarantee that His death had y necoirrpnsnpa tne Qr??ig7;ra pnrpose or providing a way for the removal of "mortal error" death from all? Those who accept Jesus' death and resurrection as the satisfaction for sin provided by God, and who believe the Bible teaching that the actual resur rection is to occur after the Second Advent of Jesus, may by faith speak of themselves as already risen with Him. But those who deny that there is any death must of necessity deny that Jesus died, and hence would be, whether intentionally or otherwise, de nying the Ransom-Price the liodern f ion-Price given for the sins of the whole world. Cannot our Christian Science fiiemls accept the Redeemer and His work, and by faith look forward to the Res titution, which St. Peter declares will follow our Lord's Second Advent? (Acts 3:10-21.) It will be for all mankind, and will last a thousand years, dealing with "every man in his own order" bringing them back from the tomb and from all their weaknesses, which are the blemishes of sin back to the per fect image and likeness of God. as originally represented in Father Adam. Healing the Sick Not a Sin. Christian Science healers necessarily aeknowledge that there issickness when they speak of healing; for how could tiny one be healed who is not diseased? We have already conceded that sick ness, sorrow and pain would not be projjer for any who are Cod's peo ple; and that the prevalence of the.se conditions attests the fact that God is dealing with th world as criminals under death sentence. The question arises. Is not the Church an exception to the world in this matter? We an swer that those who believe in Jesus' redemptive work and who fully conse crate their lives, are counted as sepa rate and distinct from the world. (John 17:10.) Nevertheless, to the surprise of some, it is not the Divine Plan that those received by God as sons rhould be released from sickness, imperfec tion or death. Take the case of Jesus. "Holy, harm less, undefiled. separate from sinners." the Son of God by a full outward at testation (Matthew C:17; John 1:14). He was weary. He hungered. He ago nized In the Garden. He died on the Cross. Nor were these errors; rather, they were the very things for which He came into the world, as He Him self declared; and without Jesus' suf fering as our Redeemer. Adam and his race could never be recovered, accord ing to the Divine arrangement. The Church, styled in the Scripture? "the Bride of Christ," is invited tc "suffer with Him" and to "be dead with Him," that she may thus share with Him in the best resurrection tc the Divine nature. (2 Timothy 2:11, 12; 2 Peter 1:4.) Therefore the Church should not expect Divine healing, which is so much of Restitution and will belong to the world by and by. after Messiah's Kingdom shad have been established. But Restitution is not the promise to the Church, but a new nature, the Divine; and that Id vine nature is obtainable only by par ticipation with the Redeemer in "the ufTerings of this present time" and in "the glory to follow." Romans i: :1S. I!) Healing In the Early Church. Neither Jesus nor His Apostles ex perienced healing nor did any of tht early Church, so far as the record shows. Dorcas, who was raised froa. the dead, and St. Peter's wile's moth er, who was healed of a fever, are not to be considered exceptions to this rule. Nor was this because none of them were sick. Jesus Himself evidently was very sick in Gethsemane. and on the way to the Cross He faintedv St. Paul mentions Trophimus and how sick he was: yet there is no suggestion that the Apostle healed him. St. Paul notes the fact that St. Timothy had dyspc; sia; but instead of healing him the Apostle wrote to him advising a cer tain diet. We must not think of these things as accidental; for they are in full accord with what is abundantly set forth lu the Iiibio. The healings were dune ia exceptional cases, for the purpose ol convincing the people respecting - the Church and for the establishment of the Church. Even Jesus Himself did not heal all who needed aid. At tht Pool of Bethesda there were many im potent folk; but He healed one only. (John 5:5-0.) He informed us that His work was merely a sample of what Restitution w ill be in .due lime, when Messiah's Kingdom shall prevail world wide: "These things did Jesus, and manifested beforehand His coming glory" His Kingdom work at His Sec ond Advent, when He will lie the great Healer, the great Life-Giver, for all ol Adam's race. John 2:11. Some one may inquire. Pastor Rus sell, have you forgotten Mark 10:17, These signs shall follow them is? that cast uew believe: In My name shall they out devils; they shall speak with tongues; thov shall take up ser pents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." No; we do not forget that these words are accredited to Jesus and St. Mark; but all scholars know, or should know, that these words do not appear in any Greek manuscript of earlier date than the Seventh Century"- B" nides, we doubt whether all Christian Scientists claim to le healers, or wheth er even the healers would handle ser Ients or drink poisons, such as prussie acid. This is not nigher Criticism. I am not a Higher Critic. It is the sim plest form of criticism to reject frauds and impositions when we have proof thai they are such, as iu this case. We are glad to acknowledge, however, that the number of such fraudulent addi tions xo Gcd's Word is comparatively mail. John 21 '5 is another cf the-e: and it absurdity h manifest. 1 1 I Anorner important iraud is iouna in I 1 John 5:7, 8, where unscrupulous men i sought to establish the false doctrine i of the Trinity; for not one text of Scripture could be found to its support Here they have added twenty-four words to the text, which in the oidest MSS. reads. "For there are three that bear record, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree ia one record." As usual, ail these spurious additions involve absurdities. In this text the absurdity would be to have Father, Sou and Holy Spirit all bearing witness jn Heaven to the an gels that Jesus is God's Sou. as though the angels would not know that fact! The God of the Bible. Christian Scientists declare that the ten most potent words ewer written were penned when Mrs. Eddy wrote the first ten words of her "Scientific Statement of Being" "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance iu matter." How does this agree with their teaching that God is everywhere and in everything It further declares that God is a Principle, yet discusses Him as a per sonality, quoting. "God is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity." (Ilabakkuk 3:1".) On the strength of this misap plied text Christian Scientists build the theory that God is ignorant of ev erything impure or injurious; that to Him and to them su-h things are not realities. Nevertheless, the context contradicts all their theories by declar ing. "Wherefore lookest Thou upon them that deal. treacherously, and bold est Thy tongue when the wicked de voureth the man that is more righteous than he?" II a b. 1:13; see also V. 3. Christian Science is in conl'ict with the Bible along another very important line. According to Christian S'-ience, "God U u divine Principle, supreme incorporeal Being, Mind. Spirit. Soul. Life, Truth. Love. These are synony mous terms. They refer to one abs' lute God. and nothing else. The attri butes of God are justice, mercy, wis dom, goodness, and so on. Principle is divine, one Life, one Truth, one Love, and this is God. omniMtent. om niscient and omnipresent." "Soul, or Spirit, signifies Deity, and nothing else. There is no finite soul, or spirit." But the God of the Bible is a Per son, a Spirit. Jesus said, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:21.) God is a Person, or Soul: "If any man draw back. My Soul shall have 110 pleasure in him." (Hebrews 1:3; 10:3S.) He is "the God of all grace, the Father of mercies." "from whom conieih every good and perfect gift." (2 Corinthians 1 :3; James 1:17.) All these expressions tell us of personality, as do those Scriptures which declare His Justice, Y"isdom. Power and Love. These qualities arc not properly attributable to a good principle; for principles of right and wrong Lave no personality. Man was made an earthly image of his Creator, who is a Spirit Man was made "a little lower than the angels" (Hebrews 'J:'.); I'salm .S:5j; for although the angels Lave God's likeness also, they have it on the spirit piano. The liken os is nt necessarily one of form, but of character a;:.l of organism tc the e:;?ont that man can reason with God and appreciate God's revelations respecting moral and religious things. Of her animals, not in God's im:ige, cannot reason on those subjects and cannot be appealed to as man can. To humanity God says. "Come now, let us reason together." Isaiah 1:1S. A personal God must have a place of pirttciur. as suggested in Jesus' prayer. "Our Fathr. which art in Heaven." For God to be cvcriiti lu re, as Christian Scientists and others assert, woiiid make Ilim impersonal a Principle. Tins wrong thought is held by many who. contrary to the Bible, declare that God is oiuniiitcscitt, everywhere present. While God is not omnipresent, every where present. He is omniscient; that is. He has knowledge of everything and of every place; as it is written. "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3.) We know that there are both evil and good to behold; and that the eyes of the Lord represent His intelligence, taking cognizance of everything everywhere. Since the in vention of the telephone and the wireless, we may much belter than ever before understand how God can have fullest knowledge of everything throughout the Universe, just as man can receive information in an Instant from the remotest parts of the earth. What man can do under Divine guid ance and enlightenment is, we may be sure, as nothing in comparison with what his Creator can do with that Cre ator's iower and knowledge. In conclusion, we urge upon Chris tian Scientists, as upon all professing the name of Christ, the importance of coming into relationship with Jesus by faith: First, faith in Ilim as the Re deemer the One through whom alone there is provision for escape from sin. sorrow, sickness, death; secondly, be lief iu Ilim as the great King whose Reign is to accomplish the work of overthrowing sin: thirdly, belief Iu the testimony of Jesus and the Apostles that He is gathering out a Church to Ie His Bride, or Associate, hi His glo rious Messianic work of a th uisand years yea. arid to lc His Couqwinion in glory to all eternity. Ephcsians 2:7. Let us become, through Christ, through consecration. through Spirit- begetting, the children of God. that we may properly call Him our Father and properly expect and receive His paren tal care over all our nffnirs. temporal and spiritual. Let us remember that the glory, honor, immortality and Di vine nature, promised to the elect faints, are to be attained only by tho.-e tfo shall demonstrate their love and loyalty to God by faithfulness in His service .even unto death, as did our Lord Jesas Christ. r oimi:i nut iii:m;i(.
