Jordan, when asked a day or two ago what he had to say to Mr. E. H. Forman’s reply to his sermon on "Christian Science,” answered that little needed to be said. "I made no ‘attack’ on Christian Science,” said Dr. Jordan, "but rather contrasted some of its lead ing teachings with certain Scriptural truths. This, of course, made the cult appear at disadvantage for which lam not responsible. Indeed, lam very sorry It Is the case, not that I would have God’s word changed. Orthodox religion and medicine are ever as an oasis, Chris tian Science ie mirage, and would be bet tet named if called Imaginary Science.

Eddy.’ What about the Apos tle Peter's keys? If Mrs. Eddy’s book 'explains and illumines’ 'the teachings of Jesus,' I have read the book in vain—and I am not alone. I deny the implication that ‘the teachings of Jesus’ are vagus and indefinite, and that the Apostles, and all those who came after them groped in the darkness of Intellectual and spiritual Ignorance, until the days of Christian Science. As the moon pales before the sun, so Mrs. Eddy pales before such men os Calvin, Wesley, Spurgeon, and Luther. Her book Is profoundly contradictory, hcpolessly so, A greater than she will have to appear to explain it. “Mr. Forman Quotes from Mark 16:17,18: 'And these signs shall accompany those who have * believed; In my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up ser pents; and it they drink any deadly thing, i’ shall not hurt thorn; they shall lay their hand* on the sick, and they shall recover.’ These things were true with the Apostles. If Mr. Forman thinks these things are true of the believer now, and especially true of the Christian Scentlsts, suppose we have a tet. If he will furnish the drinker 1 will find a doctor to furnish the drug. Let us have an experiment that explains. Admit that Mr. Forman and I came to our oomXuetons 'from the very opposite standpoint,’ we came to opposite conclusions. That does not prove his position right and mine wrong by any means. He claims that Christian Science curee 'diseases pronounced Incurable by eminent physicians.’ Have you not seen a similar claim on many a patent medi cine adverttesment? What many lick people need to do to get well la to quit taking medicine and exerclee their will power, and keep tholr mlnde pleasantly and healthfully employed. “I do not question that many people have been made to feel better under the Easels and Screens.

The influence of ‘suggestion’ is a great power, but even that has its limit. I will not dispute that practitioners of this cult may have in some instances, pro longed life, (but the same influence under any other name would have accomplished the same result), neither do I doubt that tn other instances they have, shortened lives. Their method for making well will be just as effective in making sick. My quotation from Romans 3:23: ’All have sinned and come short of the glory of God,’ was used to show the condition of both Jews and Gentiles before God—or of persons (men), as before another per son (God). As to God’s having 'sinned and come short,’ no such Idea was conveyed by tne, and to do so Is Irreverent. “Of course, Christian ficience claims to be founded: on Christ. No one questions the claim but we do the fact. The tenets given, I had before. In some respects they conform to the Bible, In others with sci ence and health, and in still others, with neither. They have an appearance of Bible truth, but not all. They are vague, high-sounding, unsound. No proposition can be so profound but some will doubt It. and none can be so weak but some will believe it. A ’quackery’ in medicine and a ’smackery’ In religion are never wanting in ndherenta among men and women, and Christian Science is a com pound of both. It seems to have a feast of words, but a famine of Ideas. Chris tian Science appears to me to be Pan theistic, but not Pantheism; Spiritualistic, but not Splrttuallam; Universaltottc, but not Universallsm; Unltarlsntzed, but not Vnltartanlem; Theosophlzed, but not The osophy; Chrtstlsntzed, hut not Christian ity; but all of these scrambled.” 'JPVi •' '4sfsr**£ ■ eJ3--.

Valdosta, Ga„ July 21.—Editor Savannah of Lowndes county for the past year have been footed up and show the remarkable gain of 3163,000 over last year. Last year's returns showed a gain of $265,000, making for the two years about $730,000. Every in the county shows a good gain in tax values, but the large percentage of the Increase Is In the Valdosta district, and is due largely to the improvement that has been made In real estate. The Increase In this district alone amounts to $351,000. The tax returns of the county amount to $3,992,816. It Is probable. In view of this large Increase, that the County Commissioners will reduce the tax rate of the county, or else ellghtly Increase It and build anew court house from the additional taxes received. The report alleged to have been sent From Naylor the other day to the Atlanta Constitution and some of the afternoon papers about a body being found In Dam pier’s store after the explosion was a pure fabrication. The report said that ‘Jacereted flesh and bones were found by the big Iron safe." There was not a syl lable of truth In the report, and, Indeed, there was no safe In the store. The facts of the explosion were wired the Morning News from Valdosta, and all the facts were In Its report—nothing added and nothing lacking. Great preparation Is being made at the town of Haneon below here for a glorious time on July 25, at which time the town Is to be sold off In lots.
