TEACHERS TAKE IN THE TOWN.
CHICAGOANS WILL DO THE CITY IN
APPROVED STYLE TO-DAY.
They Want to See Savannah, lint Are
Very Anxious to Take in Tybee
Also. anl Will Endeavor to Do
Both—The Two Chicago Organiza
tions Are on Pleasant Terms anil
Have Able nnd Energetic Women
at Their Heads—They Anticipate
Good Thing* of Savannah and Will
Not 15c Disappointed.
The Chicago school teachers are 'now
in full charge, of the De Soto, and have
their plans ail mapped out to take charge
of Savannah to-day and explore it from
one end to the other. They have heard a
great deal about Savannah, they say—
what a pleasant old Southern city it is
and what a good modern city it !s at the
same lime—and they want to put these
reports to the test.
The teachers are divided, however, be
tween their desire to see Savannah and
their anxiety to tnke in Tybee. Th< y
have been traveling since last Thursday,
and, besides, the ocean is a rare sight to
most of them, and they are, one and all,
eager to see the big. briny and play in
the surf. They were advised last night
that they would do well to put in tin
entire day taking in the city and to put
off their surf bathing until they reach
Charleston, but the majority declare that
they cannot wait, and Tybee is likely to
have the call to-day.
The Chicago Teachers’ Club, nearly 100
strong, reached the- city last night over
the Central, dividing among the different
hotels, but the majority joining the Teach
ers’ Federation party at the De Soto. The
•two organizations are very closely allied
end on the best of terms, many of the
teachers being members of lK>tn. The fed
eration looks after the material welfare of
the teachers, while the. club is intended
more for ethical culture and
Membership in the Federation is limited
atricliy to class-room teachers, and it is
eaid to be the largest organization of the
kind in the United States. Miss Catha
rine Goggin is president and is evidently
the right woman in the right place.
Miss Elizabeth B. Hoot, president of the
Chicago Teachers’ Club, is an elderly
white-haired lady, but full of life and en
ergy and evidently knows how to handle
a. large body of teachers successfully while
enjoying the work as w-ell as anyone, who
ever undertook such e task. The teach
ers strolled around the wide haUonles
of the De >BOIO, enjoying the
cool breeze after their hot
and dar-ty trip. Later a number gathered
in the ladies’ parlors and sang songa.
“Illinois” was the favorite, and was surg
with much **pirit and expression. Miss
Root was found in the midst of her party
and talked readil> of her irip.
“We have hod a very pleasant tint", in
deed,” she said, “barring a few- incidents
such as are always likely to occur on such
trips. We visited the Mammoth Ci.\e.
Lookout Mountain, the battlefields of
Chickam :itga and Chattanooga, and ppem
a day in Atlanta. The most
feature of the trip w-as the miserable
treatment accorded us at the Atlanta ho
tel, where I took a party of ninety. We
were Absolutely shown no consider.!'ion
■whatever by the hotel people. Our re
ception here has been altogether differ
ent, and we are very well pleased. In
fact, we have been hearing g<ki things
of Savai nah all the way down, and we
are prepared to believe that we shall not
be disappointed. The weather has been
very pleasant until to-day. the trip from
Atlanta being very hoi and dusty. We
were very anxious to reach here in time
to take in Tybee to-night, but most of Uc
will tideavor to do so to-day.”
The teachers are divided as to whether
they shall visit Tybee early this morning
and tour the city in the afternoon or
vice versa. They have been advised that
the quickest way of doing the city is ro
take the street cars, and most of them
will accept this advice. They are al-
interested in looking up the monu
ments, and the places of historic imerest
in and around the eity, including Jasper
Springs, the Hermitage and Bonaventura.
Pamphlets have been furnished them con
taining a list of these places of interest
and they will endeavor to take in as
many as possible to-day.
The Wisconsin party, about 150 strong,
is expected to reach the* city this after
noon, together with a number of strag
glers from the two organizations already
here. Besides the Chicagoans, there nre
•everal teachers from the far Northwest
ern sia'f-s Prof. It. S. Bingham, sup
erintendent of the public schools of Ta
coma. Wash., together with other teach
ers. paid Superintendent Ashmore a pleas
tu t call last night. Prof. Bingham is .e-
Firous of getting the convention out his
way next year.
TV BEE'S jew POSTMASTER.
Mr. JnniM AV. \ohlc Now In Charge
of the Office.
The residents and visitors at Tybee will
continue to get their mail on the island.
The government, or rather the gentleman
who runs the fourth assistant postmaster's
department at Washington, has kindly ac
cepted of Congressman Issuer's recom
mendation that the order abolishing (he
Tybee postofflee be revoked and that Mr.
James W. Noble be appointed postmaster.
Mr. Noble, as announced in the Morning
News, has reeeieed Ids commission last
week and is now in Charge of the office.
The order abolishing the office was is
sued on the recommendation of Postofflee
Inspector O'Brien, who was dissatisfied
with the manner In w hich the office was
being run by the then incumbent. As ef
forts had been made to secure a more sat
isfactory incumbent without success In
spector O’Brien's recommendation was
adopted. When Congressman Lister filed
a protest with the department In behalf
of the people of Tybee he was Informed
that if a suitable person could be named
before the time named for the order to
go into effect'ihat the office would he con
tinued. Mr. Noble's name was at once
fient forward and he was accepted by the
department. Mr. Noble is superintendent
of the Tybee waterworks and doubtless
has plenty of time to attend to the post
pfflee also.

TOO >IICH OF A GOOD THING.
\ Hotel Clerk’* Snj About the “Shirt
Sleeve* Brigade.**
That there are two sides to every ques
tion is proven occasionally in the most
! unexpected manner. That never a thing
could he said against the “Shirt Sleeves
Brigade,” its adherents and advocates
have heretofore steadfastly believed, but
! a recent occurrence seems to indicate
that even a good thing can easily be
curried <OO far.
“Who the blank is that blankety-blqnk
idiot who has been writingall this otaboui
the ’Shirt Sleevek Brigade’ for your pa
per?” queried a clerk in one of the well
known hotels of a Morning News reporter
a day or two ago.
“Why do you want to know?” asked
the newspaper man in his turn, rapidly
seeing visions of his fellow quill-ymsher
being assaulted by several determined
men. and anxious, therefore, to conceal
his Identity.
“Well,” said the clerk, “we used to have
a fairly weli-behaved lot of people about
this hotel The masculine portion of our
guests had never heard that they had any
rights and they would sit through their
meals, garbed in the customary attire of
civilization, without regard to the state
of the weather or the hight of the mer
cury in the thermometer. They never
made any kicks against the womanly
privilege of wearing shirtwaists, without
coats or jackets, that was denied to
them, and alw r ays seemed to be a rea
sonably contented and satisfied lot of
mortals.”
"Here lately, however, since this talk
about the ‘Sh rt Sleeves Brigade’ has been
going the rounds, they have foregathered
and discussed their wrongs. They have
evidently come to the conclusion that it
is a howling shame that they should be
compelled to wear coats at any time when
they don’t want to wear them, and a
considerable number of them have drop
ped into the habit of dropping into meals
in the Morning News’ suggested negligee
—a shirt, pair of irousers and belt.”
“The dining room hod begun to wear the
appearance of that of a country hotel on
court day, when the horny-handed sons
of toll from the surrounding necks of the
woods, come into town to litigate and
drink with their neighbor.- and to swap
hordes and yarns. I think the blamed
thing is being carried too far.*’
“Well, whet are you doing about it?”
the reporter a.sk*d the clerk, after this
tale of woe had been brought to a close.
“Do? What can we do? We are now
engaged in that pleasing and exciting
pastime known as grinning and bearing it.
and. as long ns the fad lasts. I expect
that this is all we ehail do. Why don’t
you keep all this blatant nonsence out of
the paper and not encourage the ordinary,
every-day male human, who is enough of
on ass by the grace of nature, to try te
break the asininity record?”
The newspaper man grinned and passed
by on the other side, while the clerk,
glancing up et the indicator to verify his
belief that the frantic appeals for iced
water came* from the. room of one of the
offending members of the offensive brig
age. first glowered at the bell and then re
sumed his work on the books.
CROWDS AT THE RESORTS.
Hot Weather Sent Many- People to
the Salta.
Another scorching hot day yesterday
drove the people to the resorts in iarge
numbers. While the heat was not so
gcat as it was the last two days, reaching
yesterday only % degrees, against 9S and
99 Friday and Saturday respeclively, yet
combined with the gerat humidity it
made the city decidedly uncomfortable,
and created a general exodus to Tybee.
Thunderbolt, Isle of Hope, and even War
saw.
Tybee, as is usual, cot by far the larg
est number. About 1,500 people went
down during the day. The heaviest travel
look place in the afternoon, about one
half of the total number who went to the
island going on the 3:35 'o’clock train,
which was made up of fourteen coaches,
all well filled.
The tide suited for bathing during the
afternoon and though a heavy rain squall
that came up shortiy after 4 o’clock
threatened to mar the pleasure of the ex
urslonists. it blew away In e short time.
Hundreds spent the afternoon in the surf
Having it only in time to take the train
back to the cily.
Isle of Hope, 100, came in for an unusu
ally largo number of visitors, almost
every one of the ears that left during the
afternoon being completely filled. An
other popular resort was Thunderbolt,
many members of the Yacht Club spend
ii.tr almost the entire day there while the
other resorts along the bluff were well
patronized.
The Santee which made the trip to
\\ irsaw took about two hundred jiassen
gers.
WITH A SOLDIER'S HONORS.
The Body of Stephen J. M. Baker

The funeral of th late Stephen J. M
Baker took place at 4 o’clock yesterday

izens, Confederate veterans and military
doing honor to the memory of the man

with Gen. McGlashan brigade command
er, in line, and the Georgia Hussars, un

The house was filled with friends and
relatives. The services were conducted
by Rev. J. D. Jordan of the First Bap

Jordan, the Hussars fired a salute over
the grave and the soldiers’ good night
was sounded.

RETREAT OF THE CLERGY.
BECILVR PRIESTS OF THE DIOCESE
OF SAVANNAH AT ST. STANISLAVS.
Annual Period of Fasting, Medita
tion and Prayer Will Begin To
day nnd LflNt Until Saturday.
nihop Kelley Went to Macon Fri
day—Reverend Father* Kennedy,
HennpMey and Reilly, of the
Cathedral, and Reverend Father*
McCarthy and Quinlan, of St. Pnt
rick’n. Are In Mnoon Now—Dioce
min Synod, Attended ly All Pastor*
of the Diocexe, on Thurnduy.
The annual retreat of the clergy erf the
Catholic diocese of Savannah will be held
during this week at St. Stanislaus College,
in Macon, beginning this morning and
ending on Saturday'. The five secular
priests of the Savannah parishes left last
night to attend the retreat.
Rt. Rev. Benjamin J. Kelley', D. D,
bishop of the diocese, left for Macon <n
last Friday. Last night he was followed on
the Central train by Reverend Fathers
Kennedy, Hennessey and Reilly of the
Cathedral, and Reverend Fathers McCar
thy and Quinlan of St. Patrick’s. These
include all the secular or diocesan clergy
of Savannah, the pastors and assistants
of the other churches being members of
one or another of the religious orders.
The diocesan retreat will be attended by
all the Catholic clergy, not members of
the orders, in the see, numbering about
thirteen in all. The retreat in the Cath
olic Church is a period of retirement to a
religious house, for self-examination,
meditation, fasting and prayer. Retreats
ate conducted by r a cleric, who delivers
daily addresses. The r treat of diocesan
clergy' in Macon will be conducted this
year by Reverend Father John O Connor
of the Society of Jesus. Father O'Connor
is a brother of Mrs. John Lyons of Savan
nah, and is well known here.
On Thursday a diocesan synod will be
held in St. Stanislaus, at which four con
suitors for the diocese will be selected.
The consul tors are chosen by the votes
of the pastors of the diocese, and the
members of the religious orders who have
charge of the churches in the see will go
up to Macon Thursday to attend this
synod. Father William Mayer and Fa
ther Andrew, of Savannah, will then be
added to the local clergy in attendance
upon the retreat.
The eonsultors form a cabinet, as it
were, for the bishop, and are conferred
with by him whenever matters of extra
ordinary moment require his consideration
and and Termination. To th<m he is wont to
look for assistance and advice when the
religious welfare of his diocese and his
people is concerned. The office is, of
course, one of honor and distinction, and
also, as it is filled by election, is a mark
and proof of the regard and respect in
which the successful candidates are held
by their fellow-laborers in the work of
the church.
The fact thht the retreat would be ’n
progress during the present week was an
nounced in the Catholic churchea of Sa
vannah on yesterday. The prayers of the
congregations were requested for the
clergy' in this 6eason of prayer, fasting
and meditation, to the end that they
might be uplifted and upheld and be
more perfectly' and devoutly consecrated
to their work.
During this wee-k there will be no
masses celebrated, either at the Cathe
dral or St. Patrick’s. Rev. Father Wil
liam Mayer, of the Sacred Heart Church,
will attend emergency calls during the
week, in the absence of the pastors and
nsfistant pastors of the Cathedra! and St.
Patrick’s. *
Besides the election of the eonsultors
there will be other important business
transacted at the diocesan synod that will
be held on Thursday. The synod will bo
the first held since the consecration of
Bishop Keiley, and for this reason it is
probable that it will be attended by
evente of much more than passing inter
est.
FATHER-IN-LAW DEAD.
Mr. anil Mrs. A. J. Garfunkel Called
to New York.
Mr. A. J. Garfunkel received a telegram
yesterday announcing the death of his
fatherin-in-law, Mr. Jesse Hecht. at his
home in New York city. The family here
had been notified of the serious illnese of
Mr. Hecht, and Mrs. Garfunkel left yes
terday at noon to be with her father. The
telegram was received after her depart
ure. Mr. Garfunkel left at night to join
his wife and to be present at the funeral.
The deceased was a native of Frankfort,
Germany, but came to this country in 1847,
going to California fb the pioneer days.
He afterwards engaged extensively in
trading between this country and Europe,
crossing the ocean 49 times. He was 73
years of age. Mr. Hecht spent last win
ter in Savannah with his daughter, and
made a number of acquaintances who will
regret to hear of his death.

WILL FILL VACANCIES.
Several Expected to Occur In the
Ranks of Teachers.
The Board of Education will hold its
July meeting this afternoon. There are
several Interesting matters to come up.
Supt. Ashmore will make his report upon
thfe recent examination of applicants to
teachers’ places in the schools, and the
names of those whOvObtained the required
percentage will be placed upon the eligible
list.
It is likely that the board wfll have sev
eral vacancies among the teachers to fill,
several resignations being expected. There
Is always a number of aspirants for
these places, and the action of the board
will be awaited with interest.
The rebuilding of Chatham Academy
and the progress made by the committee
appointed to select and submit a plan to
the academy (rustees will doubtless come
up for Incidental discussion.

BOVS’ nniM AND BIGLE CORPS.
How the Navul Battalion Musician*
Came to Be Organiitd.
A unique figure in Savannah’s military
organizations and one that has attracted
considerable interest Is the Naval Bat
talion Drum and Bugle Corps, organized
by Mr. E. V. Petit last February.
The corps now numbers about twenty
boys, between 12 and 15 years old; of these
eight are buglers, four are drummers, and
eight lifers, though as the fifers have been
added only’ recently they have not as yet
taken part in any of the public appear
ances of the corps.
Mr. Petit, who organized the corps, and
to whose efforts the preeent high state
of proficiency- is due, had his attention
first called to the possibility of such
youthful material for a corps by the very
successful efforts that a number of young
sters made to master the bugle calls dur
ing the time that the Seventh Army' Corps
was quartered here. A great many boys
seemed to take a particular liking for the
bugle blowing and by their own efforts,
supplemented occasionally' by the buglers
of the different regiments, learned to
sound many of the regulation calls.
At one time the town was bugle wild,
the younger portion of the Inhabitants to
get bugles on which to vent their patriot
ism and enthusiasm, and the grown folk
wild with a desire to stop the seemingly
everlasting blasts and counterblasts that
echoed and re-echoed from every corner
and square w here the boys congregated to
practice with more patience than success
“Can’t get ’em up" and other popular calls
that appealed to their martial pride, but
drove sleep and rest from their elders.
The craze gradually died out. but not
before a number of the boys had become
fairly proficient buglers, and it was
here that Mr. Petit found his material
when he set about organizing the Drum
and Bugle Corps. The boys entered heart
ily into the spirit of the thing, and though
required to meet for practice twice a
week the interest increased rather than
waned, and o numerous were the appli
cations to become members of the corps
that Mr. Petit was forced to place a limit
on the number of members. As soon as
the buglers were in fairly good practice
drummers had to be found, and though
these were by no means so plentiful,
enough wore secured to balance the bug
lers.
Since its organization the corpei has
token part in one or two public parades,
the last time being the rally of the Citi
zens’ Club just previous to the Demo
cratic primary in May. The corps was
paid for this work, the money going to
ward the purchase of a summer uniform,
which has only recently been received. It
is a muster suit of white trousers and
shirt, and black neckerchief. The win
ter uniform is of the regulation blue of
the same general make and material as
that of the Naval Battalion.
Mr. Petit is now busily engaged in
teaching the fifers. He hopes that upon
the next parade in which the corps takes
part to have out the full complement of
his corps, including the fifers.
MOTHERED AX ORPHAN PIT
Strnnge Fondness Displayed liy an
Old nnd Clitokenless Hen.
A story is going the rounds illustrative
of the maternal instinct implanted in the
female breast and that sometimes exhib
its itself strangely and amid queer sur
roundings. This time the heorine of the
story is a benevolently inclined old hen.
and the object of her attention a callow
and very little puppy.
The puppy was given to a ’evannah
man a few days ago, before, in the course
of nature, it should have been separated
from its mother. The man carried it to
his home and stored it away, with as
much thought and care for its comforts*
it was possible io bestow, in a box in the
back yard.
It chanced that the old hen also made
her residence in the back yard, and that
pestilence and the neighborhood cats had
tecently served to deprive her of a fuazv
brood of her offspring. The maternal in
stinct had been aroused, the natural re
cipients of it* attentions had been de
stroyed, and the old hen wus in much
trouble and tribulation of spirit. She
needed something, to love as much as ihe
puppy needed someone to love it. and un
der these circumstances of mutual need
the two seemed to be drawn irresistib'y
together.
i he hen made tentative approaches at
first to the puppy, which, when she saw
teceived in good spirit, she followed with
attentions more demonstrative and affec
tionate. Soon the two were the closest and
best of friends.
The hen would cuddle the puppy under
her wings and fly into a passion of jeal
ouse tage did anyone seek to disturb eith
er her sharge or herself. She watjhed
over the little object of her devotion with
tile tenderesl care, scratching valiantly in
the earth for those articles of food she
thought would suit the palate of the pup
py. When she desired to move to other
hunting grounds she clucked as she would
to some of her own offspring, and the
I'Uppy would follow at her heels—of hen's
have them.
As yet no rift in the friendship "that ex
ists has appeared. It is probabledhat the
hen and rite puppy will continue their
companionship until the latter has reach
ed an age where he can look after him
seif, and then it is likely to cease. At
present it is at once Interesting and omus
ing.
' liRIIK T OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Coroner's Finding; in Tilton and
Jeilken. Inquyst
An Inquiry Into the death of Robert M.
Tilton, white, and Julius Jenkins, colored,
the men who were run over and killed
in the Plant System yards Friday night
by switch engine No. 2, was held at the
coroner's office yesterday afternoon. Six
witnesses, the engineer and the fireman
who were on the engine at the time of
the accident, two switchmen and two
other men who are employed about the
railroad yards, were examined. Their
testimony contained practically the story
as told In the Morning News of July 7.
It took the Jury but a short time to
decide that the men came to their deaths
accidentally by an engine of the Plant
System. This verdict Is a little Indefinite
hi its wording, hut It is understood that
the Jury took the view that both men,
being railroad employes, should have
known to what danger they exposed
themselves by standing on the tracks,
and that the accident was, therefore, more
or less chargeable to their own careless
ness.

WHAT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IS.
THE SEW KUTH DISCUSSED BY
REV. J. D. JOHDAS.
flu Vagaries nnd Inconsistencies
Pointed Out-It Claims to Be Based
on the Bible aud Yet la In Contra
diction With It at Almost Every
Point—Hr Holds That It Is Seither
Christian Yor Scientific and That
It Is Simply Mere "Jingle-Jangle.”
‘•Christian Science" was the subject of
Rev. John D. Jordan’s sermon at the
First Baptist Church last night. The va
garies and inconsistencies of the new be
lief were plailny pointed out. The state
ments of Christian Science were contrast
ed with those of the Bible, showing how
utterly the two failed to agree, although
Christian Science claims to be an explana
tion or a development of the Bible.
The sermon was listened to and enjoyed
by a large congregation. The Sunday night
congregations at the First Baptist are us
ually good, but the one last night was con
siderably above the average. Dr. Jordan’s
text was from First Thessalonians, 5.21:
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is
good.” Christianity, Dr. Jordan said, had
always challenged investigation. This
being the case it w-as right that the same
scrutiny should be applied to all faiths,
whether claiming to be Christian or in
opposition to it. "I shall not abuse any
Christian Scientist,” he said, “but shall
simply examine the teachings of the be
lief.”
“Concerning God,” Dr. Jordan said,
“Christian science says ‘God is All,’ ’All
is God.’ Then there is nothing but God.
If this be true, then God is finite as well
as infinite, false as well as true, bad as
well as good, hate as well as love, sin as
well as righteousness, darkness as well as
light, errors as well as truth, full of
change, decay and corruption.
"The great fact is not, however, seen
to be supported by sensible evidence," re
marks the author of Science and Health.
We answer, even so.
"Christian Science would reply, while
’God is AH’ and ‘AH is God,’ God is
Good,' and 'Good is God.' If then 'God is
AH' and ‘All is Good,’ there Is nothing
but good. Then the Bible becomes the
most delusive and contradictory book ever
printed, ‘Science and Health’ not except
ed. The Bible says, 'Ail (persons) have
sinned and come short of the glory of
God.’ John the Baptist says: 'Behold,
the Lamb of God that taketh away the
sin of the world.’ St. Paul says. It is
a faithful saying, and worthy of all ac
ceptation that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save' sinners of whom I am
chief.'
“God is love and love is principle, not
person” (P. 28, H. and S). Therefore,
God is principle, and not person. Only
person can love; if. then, God be not
person, God cannot love. Set this over
against John, 3:!fi, “God so loved the
world." The person God so loved the
world. Prihciple cannot love. One per
son may love another person or a princi
ple, but one principle can neither love
another prihciple nor any person. Love
without personality is inconceivable. If
"God Is All,” as Christian Science claims,
then there is nothing for Him to love
but Himself. If God is principle, and not
person, then there can be no love in the
universe, but principle loving principle,
which is folly.
Christian Science speaks of "The Father
and Mother God.” If there were a
"Father and Mother God," they must
have, been persons, and their offspring
must have been a person or persons.
“Christian Science" says: "Man has
neither birth nor death; is not old or
young." Then the Bible makes a fearful
blunder to speak of ihe birth or death of
Moses, John the Baptist, Christ and all
others, and "the old" and the “young,”
if thtf be true.
Christian Science denies that God cre
ated matter. (P. 13, H. and S.)
Gen. 1:1. "In the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth.”
Isaiah. 45: 11, 12: “I have made the
earth and created man upon it.”
Exodus, 29:11. "In six days the Lord
made heaven and earth, the sea and nl,
that in them is.”
Isaiah, 40:28. "The everlasting God, the
1/ord. the Creator of heaven and earth."
John, 1,3, "The word was God." “All
things were made by Him."
The Bible says, "He (Christ) was
wounded for our transgressions, bruised
lor our iniquities nnd with His stripes wt
are healed." If “all te good" and good
is God" there are no transgressions, no in
iquities. save the transgression and Iniqui
ties of God.
The Bible says, “Thou shalt call His
name Jesus:" Mott. 1:21. “for he shall
save His people from their sins."
"Through the man 1s preached the for
giveness of (Acts. 13:38.)
“Who His own self bear our sins in his
own body on the tree." (I Peter, 2:24.)
If Christian Science he true all this
talk on the Bible about sin and sinners is
a mistake. God and Christ did not under
stand.
"Christian Science, to my mind, is blas
phemous," said Dr. Jordan. "Touching
herself and her vagaries. Mrs. Eddy ap
plies the Messianic prophecy, of Isaiah:
"Unto us a child is born • • • an< i his
name shall be called wonderful.’ She
forgot that the prophet spoke of a man
child ’a son'—and that he was to be. The
mighty £lod.’ ‘The everlasting Father,’
’The Prince of Peace.’
"The author of “Science and Health”
makes herself and her theory the fulfill
ment of Christ's prophecy and puts her
self and book above and in advance of
Christ and the New Testament.”
I)r. Jordan quoted sayings of Christian
Science, and commented upon them as
follows:
"Nature and God are one.” What then
Is nature and what Is God? He Is not the
God of Nature, or over nature, but the
God-Nature.” , „
“Every calculation that begins with the
body begins falsely.” Then God began
falsely with man for he first made his
body “of the dust of the ground.” Paul
declares that the natural body was be
fore the spiritual.
"Heaven is not a locality, but a state.”
You can have no state without a locality
and no locality without a state.
Christian Science says: “It Is improper
to speak of souls.” This means that no
man lias a soul of his own. which Is ut
terly false. Our Lord says: "What shall
It profit a man if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own souW”
"The blood, heart, lungs, brain, etc.,
have nothing to do with life.” God de
clares the blood to be the life of the flesh,
and the shedding of blood is used for the
taking of life. "The Wood, heart,lungs, nnd
brain” each and all have much to do with
life, for It cannot continue without ony
one of them.
"1 sum up my theory of Christian Sci
ence us follows." said Mr. Jordan: "Ideal
ism without an Idea or Ideal; Christianity
without ti Christ; science without a sci
entific !ac< stated or demonstrated; the
ological without theology, confessing to
be scriptural. It denies all scriptures; a
revelation without revealing anything, ex
cept 'Jingle-Jangle;' claiming to be a reve
lation from God. It shrouda God in dark
ness qnd veils Him with mystical non
sense.
"It says there is no matter, then affirms
that matter is the cause of all error; de
clares there is no error, yet prescribes
truth as a remedy to cure error; It de
nies the existence of tjlsease, then tells
how to trest diseases nnd sets a price on
the service; It denies that there Is any
death, but spenks of the dead, and Its
followers Just keep on dying like other
folks. It says there-is no thirst, but takes
a drink: no hunger, but eats the fat of
the land. Boasting of charity. It fleeces
•he poor; preaches breadth, and is nar
row; says all is good, and points out
evils: God is AH,' and dis
covers devils; preaches that all Is heaven,
but warns against hell. It declares hate,
slander and persecution to be delusions,
then claims tha believers in this cult are
hated, slandered and persecuted.”
Dr. Jordan was congratulated by many
of his congregation upon his thorough
handling of the subject, and it was evi
dent that his views upon Christian Sci
ence were indorsed by his congregation.
TEX SUNDAY ARRESTS,
Police Had a Livelier Day Than
Tsnal.
The police made quite a number of ar
rests yesterday, but none of the priconers
was charged with serious crime.
Mary Davis, an old white woman, was
locked up on a charge of drunkenness.
Her arrest was of a rather peculiar char
acter. In the afternoon she was fairly
dragged into the office of the'sergeant by
another white woman, who said that she
wanted Davis arrested for stealing money
from her. This charge was stoutly denied
by the Davis woman, and accuser and
accused started such an argument that
the sergeant threatened to lock them both
up. This threat had the effect of in
ducing them to get out of tt)e barracks
without loss of time, but the place seem
ed to have acquired particular attractions
for the Davis woman, as she afterwards
called so often and proved such a nuisance
that she was loclted up to give her a
chance to get rid of her jag.
Domestic infelicities led Alice Garnett,
colored, to chastise his wife, Ella Garnett,
with the result tnat he was arrested and
sent in by Patrolman J. Ferrell. When
he appears before Recorder Hartridge this
morning he will probably learn that the
money value of getting a divorce and the
satisfaction of personal chastisement is in
favor of the former.
Two negro boys, John N. Green and
Henry Lee, were sent in by Patrolman
Goribold on a charge of scorching.
The other arrests were made on charges
of drunkenness, disorderly conduct and
fighting.
