BROADBRIM'S J. Y. LETTER.
As I sat writing at ray desk on Tuesday
last a funeral possession passed the window
which had caused a profound sensation In
ceartaln quarters of the city. A few
months ago a youcg girl carao to New
York on a visit to her aunt. She had been
a school teacher at home, but her health
falling she was compelled to abandon her
school and come to tins clt) for rest, lief
aunt with whom she made her home was a
convert to a christian science, and she per
suaded her niece that there was really noth
ing the matter with her, that her sickness
was only a matter of the Imagination,
nothing more, and that as soon as she tal
ly rea'ized the fact the disease, whatever it
was, (if there was any such disease), would
lake wings to itself and fly away. In or
der to fully disabuse her mind ot the hal
lucination that she had anything the mat
ter with her they compelled her to get up
at five o'clock in lbs morning, light the
fires, scrub the floors on her knees, wash
off the sidewalk, and give other evidences
of freedom from all Imaginative supersti
tion. A strict course of diet was proscribed
of a character so tight that a two weeks

the wsek before under precisely similar
circumstances, set me thinking. I had in
vestigated the Faith Curists when Jansen
and Olsen were tried aud Imprisoned In
Brooklyn for denying medical aid to per
sons dying In their hors.-s, and I could not
see a particle of difference between the Ig
norant Fatth Curists and the Scientific
Christiaus. I don't like to be thought ig
norant on any subject, and won't be If I
have a chance to Investigate It, and as it Is
a matter which at the present limn excites
a very great interest in certain quarters 1
thought I would Dud out If possible the
difference between the two The faitl
cure Is very easily understood, the theory
being that the Lord made us, we are his
creatures; if he did not want us to be sick
we would not bo sick, and If he did want
us to be sick all the powets of earth could
not help us. It he wanted us to live we
would live, and If he wauted us to die we
would die. In fact It was little short of a
sacrilege to alu:sipt to Interfere with the
will of the Almighty. Now, this is no new
doctrine, It is the fatalism of the Mussul
man, old as Mahomet, whose followers say
to-day. "Al ah wills It." This Is the be
ginning and the end. But It antedates

It Is unreasonable. It calls for the pro

purpose of removing all members of the
colored race from United Stales territory
and landing them In the land of tbelr fore

a magnificently beautiful scheme, in the
wind of the South Carollnla man, a won

But what la the difference between this
aud Christian science? "Ab, there's the

to analyse, I couldn't. So, as I wished to
understand It, I thought I would consult
one deep In lht mysteries of the new re

millions of miles in advance of . tbe Faith

hundred, yet sweetly womanly withal,
with latge mi'ltlug blue ejes and a voice
tuned low and sweet. Sho Is just sUch an
angel as any ordinary inoital would be
happy to meet hereafter. Two dollars and
a half was tbe consultation fee, but what
was that, a mere bagatelle for the solution
of tbe most abstruse scientific problem of
the age. Having laid down my two dol
lars and a half, which was immediately
covered by a paper weight, the doctor
looked at me serenely and said, "Proceed

said, "there is not the slightest resem
blsnce between them. One has a bllud
belief in tbe supervising power of tbe
Almighty, the other soars Into the etupy
rean Immensity, and holds a spiritual com
uiuulon with the supernal powers of tbe
Infinite. Tbe one means Ignorance, tbe
other intelligence; the one means light,
and the other darkness, hyperborean, Im
penetrable, vast, unfathomable, never end

Vuu would say the life of the man, is the
crystallsed essence of the Infinite. This

be annihilated, or if not annihilated, at

no longer to exist. Now matter is com
posed of -molecular particles which iu
themselves are Incapable of pleasttie or
pain; a stone when struck feels no pain.
It never Las the headache or neuralgia; it
never weeps or laughs; and why, do you
ask; because tbe stone lacks tbe vltallzis
spirit of tbe Infinite, which In all creation
Is man's distinguishing and sole character

the grass, tbe animal creation high and
low, from l he most infinitesimal molecule

and feels nothing. Matter being the lower
power, shonld be always subject to tbe
higher power, which Is tbe mind. It Is
tbe soul, tbe spirit of tbe Infinite, wblch

capable of Impression, or as you would say
feeling. T ere Is a constant conflict rag
ing between mind and matter; mlud

tbe solution of tbe problem you seek."

just as bad as If It was re.l. I suppose it
Is all right. I can only say that matter has
got the better of me, It Is true that my

worse oil than n-y mind, and my matter
succeeds In making my mind exceedingly

Tbey are well fed, well clad, and well

tbey are better cared fot aud their morals

fears that their morals might be affecu-d
