CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS REPLY. 1(! * nit. .JORDAN'S SKRMON SI M >U:I) li* MV K- CARMAN. The Doctrines of Christianity From I h**ir Standpoint The Church Ivnets and Rules Signed by i'liose iniGng With the Christian Sri- Movement hk by blather Vary Maker G. Eddy, r eV Dr. J- I>- Jordan's sermon at the Baptist Church last week on “Chria | ~ cnce” has excited considerable comment. Dr. Jordan spoke plainly of the be lei ailing it mere “Jingle-jangle. ” . , m without an idea or ideal; Chris va, ; w .thout a Christ; science without £ ;n title fact stated or demonstrated; r c . i■ a 1 without theology, confessing j tv i iptural, it denies ail scriptures; a r e ation without revealing anything ev . p ‘jingle-jangle;’ claiming to he a jfvfli ion irem GoJ, which shrouds God ln ], i: - ess and veils Him with mysti cal nonsense.” T- t a lers of Christian Science in Sa- . when, asked about Dr. Jordan's sermon, had little to say. Mr. Edward y, Carman of Atlanta, who usually re p:?rs to attacks on Christian Science, has thi. to say in reply to Dr. Jordan: Hr. Jordan’s text, on which, he bases p : sermon against Christian Science, * Pr .w all things, hold fast to that which good.’’ is one of the favorite texts of r) ny Christiah Scientists, because from the i t hings of Jesus, explained and jp ; ;n.: i by Science and Health, with KCv to the Scriptures, by Mary B. G. . they are enabled to prove that j. . meant what He said, when, just 1 • me ascension, or disappearance to y <!ght, He said, as given by Mark (sixteenth chapter, seventeenth and eigh th i verses), ‘And these signs shall fol low Cum that believe, understand; in My carr. pirit) shall they cast out devils; fh- shall speak with new tongues; they 6hall take up serpents ,and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not nurt them; t 1 ■- C all lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” This command has never been revoked, a: 1 stands to-day as a command to all trim believers, just as truly as it did the day u was given, and believers are to be known by their fruits. Hike the doctor, \> writer, when he lirst read “Science n r, i Health,’' said "It is all. nonsense, or jingle-jangle.” Unlike Dr. Jordan, the vm : reached his conclusion from the very opposite standpoint. Being an in fidel and materialist, he said, “The system of rhrisiian Science is founded on the miracles of Jesus, and miracles of any kind are not admitted by the materialist; therefore, it is nonsense.” Three years after this conclusion was reached, one of the believers and practi tioners of this new r -old religion, believing that she understood sufficiently the words of Jesus when, he said: “The works that I do ye shall do (John 14:12), healed one rear and dear to this infidel, of diseases pronounced incurable by eminent physi cians. thus far proving all thing®, holding fast to that which is good, demonstrating that the day of miracles was not past. The doctor quotes from the Bible: ‘‘All (persons) have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” and immediately fol lowing this quotation he dwells at length on the personality of God. If all persons have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and God is a person, then God rr i have sinned and come short of his own glory (or character). If this is true then all must finally end in confusion. The doctor says, “If God is principle and not person, then there can be no love in the universe but principle, and loving principle is- folly.” Mr?. K idy says: “Do I believe in a per s nai <a d? I believe in God as tire Su j-r* ! e B ing. I kn w not what the person of omnipotence and omnipresence is, or what the Infinite includes, therefore I worship that of which I can conceive, first a? a loving Father and Mother, th n. as Thought ascends the scale of Be ing to Divine consciousness. God becomes t" m as to the'apo?tle who declared it, 1 is love I ’—Divine principle, which I worship and “after the manner of my lath'r. so worship I God.” This is the tru sense of worship, f r says John, “God is spirit ON. V.), and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in h ; and net as a p rson. What is spir i \Wbster defines spirit* as substance.

The doctor says: “Christian lienee is Christianity without Christ.” The found er of Christian Science in answer to this question, “Do I believe in the atonement of Chris*?” says, “I do, and this atone ment becomes more to me, since it in cludes man’s redemption from as well as from sin. I reverence and adore Christ as never before. It brings to my sense and to the sense of all who entertain this understanding of the sci ence of God, a w r hole salvation.” The church tenets and rules arranged by Mary Baker Eddy, to be signed byf those uniting with the Christian Science movement, are: As adherents of truth, we take the Scriptures for our guide to eternal life. e acknowledge and adore one Su preme Infinite God. We acknowledge on® Christ, the Holy Ghost, and man as the divine image and likeness. God’s forgiveness of sin, in the destruc tion of sin, and the understanding that win and suffering are not eternal. Ihe atonement as the efficacy, and evi dence of divine love, of man’s unity with God, and the great merits of Jesus, the way-shower. I niversal salvation as demonstrated by Jesus, the Galilean prophet, in the power of truth over all error, sin, sickness, and death; and the resurrection of human faith and understanding to seize the great possibilities and living energies of the divine life. We solemnly promise to strive, watch, and pray for that mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus, to love one an other, and to be meek, merciful, just and pure. IN SOCIETY.

Washington. July 13—One of the most interesting incidents of the closing hours of Congress was the signing of the bill which had passed the House and Senate, incorporating the American National Red Cross and protecting- its insignia from fraudulent and unauthorized use. It oe currred In the Marble Room of the Cap itol, in the presence of Miss Barton end a few of her devoted assistants, and was almost the last document to which Presi dent McKinley affixed his signature. He seemed to realize that among the hun dreds of bills he has signed during his .term of office, none will be more import ant and far-reaching in their consequence. After the name was written, he turned to Miss Barton with a hearty handshake, congratulated her upon the splendid rec ord already made by the organization of which she has been the mother and sus tained the heart and soul, through years of difficulty, and added that she deserved the pen which set the. highest seal of rec ognition upon her life-work, if she desired to retain it. In a few well-chosen words, full of eloquence and straight to the point, as are al! Miss Barton's speeches, she re plied! accepting the pen and saying she would always cherish it for what it im plied. For nineteen years, amid untold difficul ties and obstacles which would have daunted a less resolute spirit, Miss Bar ton has been seeking this legal recogni tion of the Red Cross, -which has- hitherto had no way of protecting itself against impostors. Any scalawag, male or fe male. might wear the emblem cf the or ganization, and solicit funds in Us name, for their own selfish purpose, as has many times been done, and the money thus ob tained never reached the channel for which It was contributed. The long-delayed charter now gives the society complete control of its work, enabling it to extend and perfect its organization throughout the United Slates. Auxiliary societies and state organizations will be immediately created by the national body; and'it is he lievcd that the Amerfoan National Red Cross will become one .of the wgalthiesi charitable organizations in the world, with a field that is practically unlimited] and incomputable pow-er for doing good. Tuesday the reorganization of the soeiety under its new ehater was effected ir. this city. The meeting was held in the beau tiful parlors of the Arlington Hotel a large number of the fifty-five incorpora tors named in the act of Congress being present, together With other prominent people, some of whom had come from New York. Boston, Philadelphia and more distant cities for the occasion.

Wilker O’Neill, of Pennsylvania, arid s viral men and women who are m-om - neni in 'he affairs of the District of Co lumbia. The act of incorporation sets forth the fact—with which most pe'T’e are now ac quainted—that in 18(54. at Geneva, Switz r land, plenipotentiaries representing Italy Bacien, Belgium, Denmark. Spain. Portu gal, France, Russia, Saxony and Wur tembrg and the federal crunch rf Switze land, agreed upon ten articles of a convention for the purpose of mitigat ing the evils inseparable from war; of suppressing the n ediess severity and am eirorating the condition of soldiers 'voundrd on the field of hatile, and par ticularly providing that persons employ ed Mri hospitals and in affording relief to the sick und wounded, and supplies for this purpose, should be deemed neutral and entitled to protect!'n, and that a dls 'ire ive and unif-rm fl >g should be adopt ed for hospitals and ambulances and con voys of sick and wounded, and an arm badge for individuals neutialized. The. purposes of the corporation are stated to be: To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war, in accordance w th the spirit and ccnc.itions of the conference at Geneva: and io continue and carry on a sys'em of national and international relief in time of peace; and apply the same in mitigat ing the suiT-rirgs causrd by pestilence famine, nre. floods and nation al calamities, and (o devise and carry on mnasures for preventing the same, and g-m rally to nromrte nvuisurfs of human ity and for the benefit of mankind, A gen alty is provided for any person using the inalguß f, r any fraudulent purpose; and it is lastly provided that the said Ameri c; n National R'd Cross shall, cn the Hrs day of January of each year, make and transmit to Congress a full, complete and itemized r pert of all receipts and ex pendhun s cf whatever kind, and of its proceedlngs during 'he preceding year, and shall aiso give such information con cerning its transactions and affairs as the Secretary of State may require from time to time; and in respect of all busi ness and r roceedings in which it may bt concerned In connection with the war and navy deparimems of the gOvcrnm' nt,shall make reports to the Secretary of War and ilie Secretary of the Navey, respectively. ••••* • Every man and woman in the country is lnleiest'd in this groat national char ity. particularly in these djs cf wir. w. li our sons and bro ilers In the Phil p pints—and hiavon knows how soon they nay lie called to more hfrrlble scenes in China.

LEVY & BRO. knows why—ehe work has gone steadily forward and has been, the channel ihrough which the people of the United States have reached the suffering with the minimum expense of administration -becaust most of the workers have given their time and labor gratuitously, with out a thought of earthly reward. Miss Barton herself, the soul of the, cause, in herited an ample fortune, which she often draws upon for the public good. In the Armenian work, for example, the ex pense of distribution, including the long journey, was less than 8 per cent, of the tmount disbursed—which is a record un uqualed'in charitable work. The publish ed records of the Red Cross show that upward of a milion and a half has gone through Its hands, and every penny has been duly accounted for. •••• Forty-three nations of the civilized world are now confederated for their mu tual good under the Red Cross "Treaty of Geneva;” and it is a mortifying re flection that Spain and Turkey and a doz en other countries adopted the treaty nearly twenty years before the United States, and that only Just now, thirty six years after the International conven tion at Geneva, has our government giv en proper legal recognition to the society which has struggled along as best it could since President Arthur was persuaded by Miss Barlon to sign the treaty, on March t, 1882. While originally formed only to give aid in time of war, through Miss Barton's efforts, there has been added an article enlarging the work of the Re.l Cross to all cases of national emergency and dis aster, known in foreign countries as the "American amendment.” In accordance with this amendment and under the leadership of this same heroic woman, the United States has already given its aid to Russia at the time of the famine, in '92; to Armenia and Turkey, In '9B; in our own ceunlry has relieved the suf ferings prising from the fires in Michi gan. in '81; Mississippi floods. In ’B2-'B3: Mississippi eyolone, 'B3: Ohio cyclone, in '88; Florida yellow fever epidemic, in '88; Johnstown disaster, in 'B9; Town cyclone, In '93; and the South Carolina island hur ricane, in '94; and as all the world knows, at the request of the President of the United States and with the permission of Spain, the American National Red Cross carried the bountv of the people of this country to the suffering in Cuba in '97-'9S. The vital idea of the Red Cross it not charity, as the word Is usually under stood, but helpfulness and friendliness to those In trouble, in the Good Samaritan scnstvthat they are neighbors. It recog inizes iio particular creed or denomina tion, except the broad religion of Jesus Christ, as embodied in the words "Love one another.” Some of the subjects which come Just now before the national so ciety are the requests of Alaska and Por to Rico for a branch, each, of the Amer ican Red Cross or provisional connection will! II- If Cuba a provisional eonnee ion has already been arranged, which ■iwaits acceptance under proper officers. The Re-1 Cross has iso been lately so licited by the Governors of various states to aid In the establishment of a soldiers' and sailors' home at Manila. The Red Cross will continue to retain its headquarters in Washington; hut In order to properly perform the work demand ed of it, there ought to be a fund of at least half a million dollars. This may he easily raised among our ninety odd millions of peonle, Independent of the government, for the fact should never he lost sight of that the Red Cross means people's help for notional necessi ties. rot national help for people’s reeds. The American National Red Cross has never received a dollar of support from the government as such, and has never sought it. At the meeting of Tuesday Miss Barton closed a glowing speech with this modest reference to her own services: "Added to the home duties, with a correspondence equal to a bureau, with no revenues, no dues, no fund, seventeen fields have been worked in nineteen years—every one car ried'through.

She closed by earnestly requesting to be relieved from the position of the presi dency—that others younger and more fit ted might take up the work. Her report was accepted with regard to everything but the final request to be relieved, which ex-Secretary Herbert said, amid ap plause. the Rd Cross Society could never be brought to consider as long aa she, its mother, remained on earth. A constitu tion and by-laws was then adopted. The latter provides, among other things, that the annual meeting of the society shall be held in Washington, in December; and that the business and property of the or ganization shall be managed by a board'of wontrol, consisting of persons elected by ballot from mem liars of the corporation. This board has general superintendence of the affairs of the association, and the officers of the Red Cross are to be chosen by the board, from among its own mem bers, at a meeting to be held within ten THE ROAD BY THE BRIDGE. days. In view of ttie fact that the Incor porators had surrendered to the board of control their power to elect the officer* of the association. ex-Secretary Herbert in troduced a resolution, which was unani mously adopted amid much applause, that it was the sense of the meeting that th* board should elect Miss Clara Barton as perpetual president. A number of associate members were then elected, Including Gen. Nelson A. Miles and wife, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst of California, Senator N. D. Money and wife. Representative William Alden Smith, Mrs. Fanny R. Ward. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster and Mr. H. B. F. Macfarland the new commissioner of the District of Columbia. Then the whole happy party took the electric cars for Miss Barton's commodious summer hbme, on the Mary land shore of the Potomac, about seven miles from Washington.

Washington, July 13.—Mrs. McKinley starts but for a drive these summer days about 10 o'clock in the morning. There are many picturesque roads in the suburbs of the capital city, but she enjoys most of ail the densely shaded Inne near tho Soldiers’ Home, with its pretty rustic bridge, and the interlacing boughs ot giant elms overhead. She generally requests the driver to stop so that she can listen to the mur mur of Ihe little stream down in the glen helotv or hear the whistle of the brown thrush as lie hitiea in the leaves above. When there are no visitors at the White House, and the President is free from the cares of office, as he is now, he generally drives out with Mrs. McKinley, to her great delight. If Miss Mary Barber or any of the President's nieces are at the executive mansion they always accompany Mrs. McKinley on her morning drives, ana seldom a day passes but they go to the “drive where the bridge le," as they des ignate It to the driver. If the President remains at the While House while Mrs. McKinley goes out. us he Is obliged to do when there Is a cab inet meeting on bond, he begins to man ifest a decided feeling of anxiety as the time approaches for the return of the carriage and lie precious freight. Ho frequently steis Into the room of his private secretary that overlooks the front driveway. When the carriage drives up under the porte cochere she Is sure to see. his face ut the window. The habitual expression of perfect content uient gives away to ,i radiant smile as the wife see the look of welcome on her bus.rand's face. With the Ingenue of a child she wafts him a kiss from her finger tlpe, just as young er lovers do. These two have kept the faith and beatify of their youth by mu tual devotion.
