authorized lecturer of the Christian Sclcnci
board of lectureship , last evening dellverei
nn address In lloyd's opera house on Chris *
tlan Science , before a large , intelligent am
appreciative audience composed In the mall
of adherents of thu new faith. Amons th <
midlonco were numerous personal friends o
Judge Clnrkeon. who formerly served on thi
district bench of DoiiRliis county. Kor tin
lust few years ho has devoted himself on-
Urcly to the study nml practice of Chrlstla *
Science , In which he has become well versed
and Is now an ardent advocate of the new
religion. Judge Clarkson was Introduced bj
Judge Ferguson. Ills address was Htibalaii-
tlally n.i follows :
linlKc t.'liirkxon'i . \ < lilri > < < s ,
"If any man will como nfter mo let hltr
deny himself and take up his orosa and fol
low me. " " 1 am the way , the truth and the
life ; no man coineth unto the Father but bj
nit. " "WhCBOuvcr shall not receive the
Kingdom of Hod as a little child flhall In nc
wise enter therein. " So spake Jimis. . \
Httlo child does not , ao a rule , assert lu
superior knowledge when Informed of fotne-
thing It has not hitherto known. It nc-
ropla and to Its little store adds the proffered
Information. Rather difficult , you think , toi
the average human egotist to accept , an doc. '
the little child , what falls to accord with hlf
previously formed opinions as to what Is uml
what fs nol.
Vet Jesus did not scruple to say. and HJJ
emphatically , that before entrance Into the
Kingdom of Oed could be compassed by men
they would have to receive Information con
cerning It an would a Httlo child ; they would
have to deny themselves , their self-compla
cent , wisdom , and humbly llston to and
meekly , accept the teachings of Him who
was the Son of God and still "meek and
lowly In heart. "
Why men should expect to ilnd heaven ,
the Kingdom of Oed , like anything they
have ever known passes comprehension. I !
It were not different would It be worth the
seeking ? Do they not hope to Ilnd In It
happlncsH , health , slnlcsancss , rest , harmony ,
power , PCJICO and joy ? Have their ceaseless ,
pitiable , nnrcmuncratlvc battles on earth ,
battles despairingly waged under rules In the
human manual of arms , brought men ai.y
such respite from woe as heaven is supposed
to afford ?
Why not end their useless , struggling
self-assertion , admit their utter Inability
from their piano of thought , their appre
hension of the "powcrH that be , " to solve
the problem of salvation , and , wearily , yet
confidingly , hopefully , aslt of the Almighty
that lie come to their aid ; make of them
selves "little children" and hear the sweet
voice of the Christ saying to those who
would hinder , "Suffer Httlo children , and
forbid them not , to como unto me , for of
such Is the kingdom of heaven ? " Why
should we not , once for all , as "little chil
dren , " throw ourselves Into the "ever
lasting arms" and rest In that safe abode ?
"We want to , " mortals say , "wo want to ,
but do not know how. " "If any man will
como after me , let him. deny himself , and
take up his cross and follow me. " "I am
the way , the truth and the life ; no man
eometh unto the Father but by me. "

Christian Scientists regard the acts of
Jesus as explanatory of his words and as
corroborative of what hn said relating to the
all-power of spirit , and the oneness , the
Inscparableness of God and man. To scien
tists Jesus' teachings Joined with his demon
strations point to the obvious fact that man ,
the real man , the man made In the Imago
and likeness of God , has an eternal , har
monious existence In Oed , Is God expressed ,
manifested , and can no more actually die ,
be extinguished , be- sick , suffer or sin , than
can Ood.
That there being but one Oed , and He the
only , the supreme Intelligence , the actual
man must have God for his intelligence ,
bis consciousness , and God being of purer
ryes than to behold evil or Iniquity , evil
or Iniquity cannot bo known by God's man ,
because he has no mind apart from Ood.
As heat and light are the manifestation of
the sun , are the sun expressed , so man Is
God expressed , and as there iniiHt be heat
and light so long as there Is sun , so there
must be man as long as ( hero Is Ood. As
God IK life and Is all , anil man is God ex
pressed , man Is life expressed , and cannot
bo allied with death , or really know death.
That the eternal , universal power and
presence , of God , who Is spirit , life , truth
and love , as Jesus taught anil showed , make
It .Impossible for anything like God to have
nn Actual , Immortal existence. Everything
not God-ilku must 1m temporal , mortal , ol
human conception , having Its origin In er
roneous , Illusive , mortal beliefs founded
upon the physical senses , the human , mortal
conBCloueness , which senses and conscious
ness mtiat finally retire before the only real
mind , the only real power , the only real
love , the only real being , the only real

obliteration of corporeal sense before tht

Hut the human Intellect , If there Is back
of It an honest , contrite heart , is able , In
a remarkably short time , to somewhat
acquaint Itself with God , and If the talent
given It Is Improved , to broaden such ac
quaintanceship Into a constanly Incrun-
Ing knowledge which enables Us possessor ,
in a humble , hopeful way , to follow In
Jesus' jteps , after a comparatively feeble
fashion , do the works that ho did.

All of us are existence expressed of God ,

We are spiritual , eternal , harmonious , be
cause wo ate co-existent with God.Ve ,
spiritual Identities of the creative , living
principle-God ; wo , manifestations of life ;
we , the eternal sons and daughters ot God ,
nro all born of Him , not of the flesh ; are
all brothers and ulsters , children of the one
parent , as absolutely Indestructible as is
the parent Himself , and , as the different
rays of light combined constitute light , to ,
we , God's various , beautiful , spiritual chil
dren , as a whole , constitute man , God's
Universe , God's creation , the Creator ex
pressed.
The cry from all quarters seems to be for
a more spiritual religion ; one that Is more
satisfying ; ono that does not seem so
tainted with the world ; one that Is not BO
devoted to the material to pomp , pag
eantry , display , ceremonial , formal , per
functory observances ; one that Is not so
unhappily by. and of , and for the flesh ;
one that approaches nearer to the Christi
anity formulated and practiced by Jesus ;
ono that brings us nearer to God.
Think for a moment and you will can
didly concede that such a religion is the
demand , tho. Inexorable .demand , of the
timc.i If there Is to be any diversion of the
"princes of the world" from apparent aban
donment to uncurbed selfishness , greed ,
rapacity. Impurity , dishonesty , cruelty , gen
eral worldllneSR and sacrifice of about all
that Is elevated on tht > altars of Mammon.
A religion which will alter this state of
tiflalrs you cannot reasonably expect to be
Identical with the religion we have had , be
cause the religion we have had has not
seemed to work any radical change for the
hotter In thn average man. If a more
spiritual religion t > ecni8 to be thn need , and
a religion on spiritual lines Is delineated , you
will not take offense because such religion
clashes with materialistic , worldly views.
Consider , too , why there Is a demand for
a different religion. Is It not because it Is
hoped that a different religion will prove
ot dally practical help to men and not a
will o' the wlsn which always evades one's
grasp and from which nothing out of the
ordinary can he expected until one has en
tered Into an uncertain "beyond" where
are located promises Innumerable , It Is trim ,
but which nothing one can now experience
signifies are at all likely to be fulfilled ? A
religion that does some appreciable good to
UH now Is what Is wanted , Is It not ? A re
ligion that helptt us while we arc here and
points the way to something better. A re
ligion that proves Itself an aid that Is
recognizable , and proving Itself such an aid
now , leads us to trust its promisc for the
future.
To Christian Scientists , who , with you , arc
alive to the needs of thn hour , It seems
strange that men should not , moro than
they do , rccognl/.e In Christian Science thu
kind of religion which people of nil denomination -
nomination- : ' , and Infidels , agnostics and
skeptics as well , feel mu t come , but which
knocking at their very doors they refuse to
admit.

Christian Science makes stronger , health
ier , moro unselfish , more oonest , more con
tented , holler , purer , happier people , and
with perfect certitude proclaims a state of
eternal harmony when this mud encrusta
tion Ibis physical , fleshly , mortal , material ,
temporal existence , this "dust Ihou art and
unto diift shall thou return" shall be
cleaned away from consciousness and man
como Into the full , glorious appreciation of
what he Is , always has been and always will
be the Image and likeness of God-Spirit.
"Proof , give us proofs , " mortals insist. Our
proof 13 actual personal experience , than
which no proof Is more cogent. Through
Christian Science there have been , as well as
can bo estimated , nearly 2,000,000 cases of
healing from alckncas.
In the majority of these cases relief by
other means had failed. In a largo portion
ot the ins I-- , perhaps the majority , physicians
had abandoned or classnj the eiiffciers as In
curable. In thousand ! * of caas bad habits ,
depraved tastes , sins of thought and deed
have been eiadlcated ; worry and anxltty
have be.cn banished ; poverty has been over
come ; In Instances where death has visited
ihoje who had begun to realize UH nolhlng-
ne t. for both the dying and the bereaved , it
has been largely , and sometimes almost en
tirely , shorn of Us sorrow and tcrrore ; and
to u great number of the vast army who
inarch after the Christian Science banners
there bus bea born a keen consciousness
of the joys of spiritual existence , a poulilvc
certainty of "Ood with us" and lo stay
with us and thu ruaultant peace "which
pat-eeth all umurslandlng. "

One of the checks reported to have been
taken from John Burke , when he was robbed
a week or so ago , bus turned up. The check
was Itsued by the Cudahy Packing company
to J. Scanlon and called for $16.73. Imme
diately following the robbery Mr. Burke
stopped payment on the three checks taken ,
bo that he will not lose anything as far as
the checks are concerned. The check In
Itiestlon was passed at Anton Bazar's saloon
on Railroad avenue by Ed Nightengale.
When Bazar found that payment had been
stopped ho called at police headquarters and
requested that Nightengale bo arrested. It
Is asserted by Bazar that Chief Carroll re
fused to have anything to do with the case ;
nt any rate. Bazar says , Nightengale was
allowed to depart for St. Joseph without
any elfort being made to detain him. Bazar
is the loser by'tho trawuetion , as he was
not aware that payment had been stopped.
Chief Carroll said that when Bazar re
ported the case to him Nightengale had
already departed for St. Joseph. Ho took
the matter up at once and sent a descrip
tion of the man wanted to the St. Joseph
pollco and is expecting every day to hear
nt the man's arrest.
\ < ( < > from I lie Mayor.
The mayor has sent in a veto on the reso
lution paffcd at the last meeting of the
council in regard to more electric street
lights. Councilman Cliiigcn secured the
passage of a resolution ordering street
lights at Twenty-fifth and K streets , Thlr-
tqpntu and 0 streets and Twenty-ninth.and
n stre-.s. The mayor. In his veto , fciys :
that he is willing to admit the necessity
for the lights In quchtlon and would be
glad to see them placed were It not for
Ihe condition of the lighting fund ,
The mayor asserts that the appropriation
ror lights last August amounted to $8,220 ,
mil of this sum $0,402 has been expended ,
leaving a balance of $1,818 to defray light
ing 'bills until next August. At the pres
ent rate the overlap in this fund will bo
M.S3G , and this should not bo Increased.
It Is more than likely that the members of
the council will override the mayor's veto
it the next session , as the people are clam-
Drlng for lights. The expense of maintain
ing these three lights from January until
the end of July wlfl be but $220.riO , as
under the contract recently entered Into
Hreet lights arc now charged for at the
rate of $10.50 ii month Instead of $12 per
month as formerly.

ABOUT JEWISH CHAUTAUQUA

for an OrKaiil/.iitlon lu
Oiiutliii.
An audience of falr-sl/.cd proportions
gathered at Temple Israel last night to listen
to Mrs. Minnie 1) . hauls dlBcuK the plans
for the organization of a Jewish Chnutnuqua
circle In the city. She Is the Held secre
tary of the organization and Is engaged n
greater portion of the time in establishing
circles throughout the country. Her home
Is in New York.
The speaker explained that the Jewish
Chautauqua IB Identical with the general
chautaun.ua established In 1S71 , and with
which Or. Vincent became connected In
1ST ! ) , and which has made auch rapid strides
In the way of growth.
Mrs. Louis pointed out Ihe advantages of
the reading circles , saying that it Is an Idea
where the education is brought to the stu
dent , Instead of the student going out to
seek the education. There is a regain *
course of study extending over n period of
eight years , starting with general or blblo
history and closing with readings in Jewish
history and literature.
The talk was In no sense a lecture , hut
was a plain statement of the caw , showing
the benefits to bo derived from the books
to bo read and studied.
These who were present evinced n deep
Interest and It Is moro than likely that a
reading circle will be organized this winter.

of schools , and particularly kindergartens ,
exercises were held appropriate to the sea
son. Programs of recitation and songs were
given and the rooms wcro ilccoratcd with
Christmas greens.
The mcst elaborate preparations had been
made by the * kindergarten teachers nt the
Lake school. Cards handsomely wrought by
the pupils had been In process of construc
tion for several weeks designed for their
parents. Tbe outline of n cluster of chimes
was traced In colored worsteds and beneath
this picco of handicraft the teacher pasted
a photograph of the room and rlnra , taken
by nn assistant's camera. A Christmas
tree , bright with candles and spangles , wan
unveiled and each child was rcmcmbercj
by a t.oken.
At the same school a destitute family had
been partially maintained by the teachers
for faveral weeks and the children were
each requested to bring a piece of coal as
large as his fist. To the tmrnrlso even of
the promoters of the plan the aniiunt of
coal gathered amounted to one ton.
At the Mason school a similar plan was
adopted , the children being requested to
bring to school such groceries as could bo
spared for the purposes of Christmas charity.
