SOCIAL SALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
’ SUNDAY’S CALL.
Some day,
When others braid your thick, brown
. hair,
And drape your form in silk and lace,
When others call you “dear” and “fair,”
And hold your hands and kiss your face,
You must not forget that far above
All others’ is a mother’s love.
Some day,
’Mongst strangers in far distent lands,
In your new home beyond the sea,
When at your lips are baby hands,
And children playing at your knee -
O then, as at your side they grow,
How I have loved yon, you will know!
Some day,
When you must feel love’s heaVy loss,
You will remember other years
When I, too, bent beneath the cross,
And mix my memory with thy tears;
In such dark hours be not afraid;
Within their shadow I have prayed.
Some day,
Yohr daughter’s voice, or smiles, or eyes,
My face will suddenly recall;
Then you will smile in sweet surprise,
And your soul unto mine will call
In that dear unforgotten prayer,
Which we at evening used to share,
Some day,
A flower, a song, a word may be
A link between us strong and sweet;
Ah; then, dear child, remember me !
And let your heart to “mother” beat,
My love is with you everywhere—
You cannot get beyond my prayer. •
Some day,
At longest it can not be long,
1 shall with glad impatience wait
Amid the glory and the song,
For you before the Golden Gate,
After earth’s parting and earth’s pain,
Never to part I Never again!

Miss Evelyn Reid and Miss Alice Has*
selkus, and the graceful recitation of
Miss Florence Doe. At half past ten
delicious refreshments of frozen cream
and cake were served.
NO IMPROVEMENT.
Col. Boyd’s Condition Remains Un
changed-
Col. Boyd’s condition was unchanged
from his first attack of Friday after
noon, at the hour of going to press last
night.
His attending physician had a faint
hope that a reaction would set in yes
terday afternoon, and that his con
sciousness would be partially restored,
at least, but in this he was disappoints
ed. No signs of restoration of any of
his impaired faculties have shown
themselves, and the opinion is express
ed, by'those in position to best judge,
that the stroke will prove fatal unless
relief is secured within a few hours
more.
The entire left side is completely
paralyzed, and bis entire body seri
ously affected. His mind and power
of speech it is feared are permanently
injured. He lies upon his bed with
closed eyes, noticing nothing that
transpires within his room. All that
medical skill and loving friendscan do
has no effect.
All Griffin is in sorrow over this
sudden and sad affliction and all hearts
go out in true and deep sympathy for
the family that has thus suddenly
been plunged into so deep sorrow.
All that can be done for him is to
watch and pray that his life may be
spared.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23, 1828.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
BY W. E. H. SEARCY.
Christian science is confounded by
many with what is called faith cure or
Christian healing. But there is no
connection whatever between the two.
Faith cure or Christian healing is
taught in the Bible, and la an .actual
healing of a disease by divine interpo
sition.
Christian science was discovered by
a Mrs. Eddy iu 1866, and is not the
healing of disease at all. It is a system
wherein disease is taught to be the
“false testimony of a false material
sense.” In plain English, Christian
science teaches us that there is no
sickness in reality, at all. There is
nothing to cure. The relief that it af
fords is in convincing the mind that
there is nothing the matter. Indeed,
according to this latter day discoverer,
there is nothing real but mind. , Mat*,
ter is nothing. The body is matter. It
is nothing; it cannot suffer; only the
mind suffers; yet there is nothing the
matter in reality with the mind.
They remind us of a story we heard
once of a conversation between a Uni
versalist and a Methodist preacher.
They were going the same way, and
got into a conversation about their re
spective creeds. The Methodist finally
said, “If all the people are saved any
how, and there is no such place as
hell, why is it you are taking the trou
ble to travel around and preach?”
“Well,” said the Universalist, “you
Methodists are going around preach
ing everybody into hell, and I feel it
my duty to go around and preach
them out by showing there is no such
place as hell.”.
Our doctors are busy as bees every
day going from house to bouse telling
people they are sick, and having them
to take physic—often of the most
nauseous kind. But Mrs. Eddy’s dis
covery just puts an end to the business
by showing that it is all a mistake—
that we are in reality well. t
There is another thing about Mrs.
Eddy. She frames her sentences about
her science in away that is rather
mystifying, so that her deciples can
always be trying to find out something
they don’t understand.
Now, let’s hear her own discription
of her discovery. She says;
“In the year 1866 I discovered the
science of metaphysical healing, and
named it Christian Science. Chris
tian Science unfolds the demonstrable
fact that matter possesses neither sen
sation or life, and that human expert
ence shows the falsity of all material
things. The only sufferer is the mor
tai mind, since being in God cannot
suffer. All real being is the divine
mind and idea. Life, truth and love
are all powerful and ever present. Sin,
sickness, disease and death is the false
testimony of false material sense. That
this false sense evolves in belief a sub
jective state of mortal mind which
this same mind calls matter, thereby
shutting out the true sense of the
spirit. My discovery that erring mor
tal, misnamed mind produces all the
organism and action of the mortal
body set my thoughts to work in new
channels, and led up to my demon
stration of the proposition that mind
is all, and matter is naught, as the
leading factor in mind science.”
Now, while we are free to admit that
some diseases are purely imaginative,
and exist nowhere but in the mind,
the highest and best science as well as
common sense teaches us that there
are diseases cf the body and plenty of
them. Os course, for a purely imagi
native disease—one where there is
nothing the matter but in the mind—
treatment of these new scientists will
have a very happy effect. But if one
has an enlarged liver we would atill
advise that the common kind of doc
tors be called in, with the nauseous
physic.
Heroditus, the historian, tells us
that the ancient Egyptians divided its
medical practice as follows: “Each
physician is for one kind of sickness
and no more, and all places are crowd
ed with physicians; for there are phy
sicians for the eyes, physicians for the
head, physicians for the teeth, physi
cians for the stomach and physicians
for internal diseases.”
Genesis tells us that Joseph had an
array of physicians himself.
If we are to get back to this system
of specialties, and Mrs. Eddy would
confine her work to the diseases of the
imagination, there might Jbs a very
Important place for Christian science

in our medical system ; but when she
attempts to carry forward the discov
ery and apply it to sure enough bodi
ly disease, we may expect to hear, as
we often do, of sad cases that have re
sulted from the delusion she teaches.
- Christian science deals with sin in
the same way it does with disease, and
is salty like theosophy in its concep
tion of God. Christian heeling is en
tirely different; it is of Christ. “She
who by faith touched the hem of the
Master’s garment, end was healed of
the issue of blood,” like thousands of
others who have had faith in Him,and
been healed, establish the efficacy of
faith and prayer, and place Christian
healing far above the descriptive for
mula of the metaphysical cure of Mrs.
Eddy.
To follow Mrs. Eddy means to repu
diate the scientific research of all the
centuries touching matter which we
know to be real and to be existing
about us and possessing qualities
which we can discern. It is to repu
diate the medical science of this en
lightened age. It is to repudiate the
Bible doctrine cf sin and destroy in
our own minds the belief in a personal
God.
Our advice then is to let Christian
science (so called by Mrs. Eddy) alone.
It is not science; it is not Christian;
in her own words it is “metaphysical.”
Christians should ally themselves with
that branch or denomination of the
church universal with which they can
most congenially labor for their own
spiritual advancement, and the
triumph of religion generally, and not
waste their powers and influence in
the propogation of systems, however
high sounding, which are not founded
in reason or revelation.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound cnmmperfect hearing, and
when it is deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored so its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
