JCho Title of tho Articlo Is "Christian
Scicnco and Unchristian Science."

Tho follow Inpr nrtlcle from the pen ot
Rev. JniiicH .McLood, D. D., tiastor of
the First Prcsbvterlan cliuroh of tli!
city, under the caption "ChriBtlan Sci
ence ami Unchtlstlan Science," appears
in last week's New York Observer:
"Christian Science ! clearly related
to Jesus Christ. It beius Ills Imprima
tur. Ho Is Its source and Its inspira
tion; and all the benellts It has con
ferred upon the w 01 Id are traceable
unto Him. 'Whether we tii-e the word
Christian as an adjective or as a noun,
It Is a word of vast significance. When
wo pay of persms 01 things that they
uro Christian, wo thereby dlffcientlato
them from all other persons or thlncs.
The difference between a Clnlstlnn nun
und a man who Is not a Clulstlan is
limneasuiablc, and Christian knowl
fdjo differs Immensely fiom Knowledge
that Is not Christian.
"Christian Science as taught by Jesus
Chtlst, and Ills apostles, is both Intel
ligible and sout-batHfjIng. It does not
tiade off valuable leul estate for clouds,
nor does It exchange s-obor or caving
truth for IMonary and pitiful nn-
eason.
"The great foundation truth of Cluls
tlan Science Is tho existence, tho per
sonality, .ind the Tatheihood of God.
No truth that fell fiom Chilst's lips Is
more cleat ly expressed. Again and
again, He speaks of God as Ills Father,
and again and again, He addresses Him
as a person. All who believe the Bible
are agreed that Jesus teaches us that
God can see, and hear, and feel, and
speak; and If this bo true, His person
ality must be conceded. The apostle
James tells us that the Loid Is very
Pitiful, and the Psalmlbt imjb that "like
no a father pities his children, so the
Lord pltleth them that fear Him."
THE TUI-PERSONAMTY.
"Jtfcus tenrhos the Tri-personallty of
God. He claims Deity for Himself, ns
iv el) as for the Fathei, and the Holy
Ghost. He sais thai thoe who saw
Him saw the Father. One of tho in
spired writeis s-ajs that Jesus is 'the
biightness of the Father's glory, and
the expiess Image of His penvin.' He
was, persecuted by His enemies, to the
death, because while Hi- seemed to
them to bi- on'y u man. He, neeithe

Jesus gave to His disciples their great
commission, and when He framed for
them the foi inula which they were to
uo in baptism. He gave equal honor
to tho Father, und to the Son, and to
the Holy Ghost.
"Jesus teaches us that sin is In the
world, and that It Is ruinous, nnd Uc
nlso teaches us that Satan is th" arch
enemy of human boiils-. Hi?, fuithcr
niore, points out plainly, to the sons
of men, the only wav of crape fiom

' Jesus teaches us to study nnd to

value of the IIolv Scilpture cannot be
over estimated, and its light internte.
tntlon Is all-Important; for the Bible
Is the txt book of Clulstlan Science.
THE VALUE OF PR VYEH.
' Jesus teaches us tho value of nrnver.
He, Hlmtlf. was a man of pravci,
He prayed on eaith. and He still prajs
In Heaven. Ho is the sinner's Advo
cate and Intercessor. Ho tell? us to
pray to GoJ, ard He assuies us that
God heais and answers prayei. He
says that If wo ask we shall lcctive.
He gave to His disciples a form of
prajcr which they havo used evei slno,
and whkl; can never bo Impioved.
Prayei to God must alwavs otcupv a

Chrlstlnn Science.
'Jesus also ttaUies the doctilne of
Immottallty. II" has, by His lips, and
bj His life, nni! by His gloiioiis ics
urrectlon and ascension plated that
doctrine bevond the region of dispute.
Ho has "abolished death, anil bi ought
life and immoitalily to light through
the Gospel." These ato some ot tho
truths of Clulstlan Science as taught
by Jesus Christ.
Now compaie these teachings of
Jesus, with the teachings of that Un
christian Nescience, which is falsely
called 'Christian Science.' On all tho
points enumerated, this schema plain
ly and boldly contradicts Jesus Christ.
It denies the existence, personality,
and Fatherhood of God. In Its creed,
"God is not a person but a pilnclple."
It denies the Bible doctrine of tho
THE

Trinity. In Its creed, "life, truth, and
love constitute tho Triune God." It
denies the Bible doctrine of sin In Its
creed. Tho only rcnllty in sin Is In
the uwful fact that unrealities seem
real to human belief.' It denies the
doctrine of immortality, except In a
pantheistic sense. There Is no place
In Its creed for Individual Immortality.
This scheme bcouts the doctrine that
rtho souls of believers nro at their

do Immediately pass Into glory. It
tenches, on tho contrary, that 'tho be

NO PLACE FOR PRAYER.
"In this scheme there Is no place for
prayer. Why should there be" If, as
this scheme teaches, there Is not a
living, Intelligent, personal God to hear
and answer piayer, It Is, of course, tho
height of absurdity to pray. There Is
no reason in offering prayer to n sense

One might ns well pray to chemistry,

TWLIGHT IN THE TROPICS.
How -Lonfr It Actually Remains
After the Sun Ha3 Set.
Fiom tho Son rranelsco Chronicle
The belief that theie is little or no
twilight within the gieat tropical belt
cntli cling our planet is a very wide
spiead one. Histoij, however, warns
us that beliefs need not necessarily ac
cord with facts It might Indeed al
most be said that they usually do not.
The tolling and moiling millions, the
humble units that, taken in the- bulk,
constitute what Is called a "great pow
ei," have neither the time nor the ln
illnation to overhaul their opinions,
They aie not assailed by doubts as to
whether the Intellectual coffee which
they have at odd moment" imbibed
may not have been mostly chlcoiy.
Such a state of mind unquestionably
makes for happiness, and although
such happiness mny bear rather too
much resemblance to that of, say, the
cow. It is1 none tho less ie.il for all
that.
Twilight Is at Its shortest ut tho
equator and Increases with the lati
tude at the cquinoes at about the
same late ns that at which the meri
dians decrease their distance fiom one
another. The Increase is, therefoie,
veiy slow in low latitudes and veiy
lapld near the poles.
Practical, or civil, twilight is tho
time which elappss between the mo
ment of the sun's setting and the mo
ment of the seven digiecs of a gieat
It ib below tho hoiUon. At the equa
tor this time cannot of course be less
ithan 'twenty-eight minutes. Ut Itho
edges of the tropic zone it is about
thirty-one minutes. A person with
good eyesight will, should he care to
make the experiment, find that when
at sea and on or near the equator, ho
Is able to read average type on deck
for at least twenty-eight minutes after
the sun has set without tho aid of ai
tlllclu! light and when there Is no
moonlight This Is the common-sense
cxpoiiinent bv which tho duiatlon of
practical twilight has been determi
nated. The actual duration Is consid
erably longer than the practical and,
even at tho equator, something like
seventy minutes will elapse hefoio
night holds undisputed sway. This la
tho length of the true tho astronomi
caltwilight. It is at or near the equinoxes that
the phenomenon uudei lonsldeiatlon is
at Its shortest all over tho globe. At

Sctiool Lesson for February S.
The NoWemraami's Son Healed.,
JOHN IV. 43-54.
BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
1NTRODUCTION. In the timo ot
Christ tho Holy Land formed part of
tho Roman empire. The territory lying
west of the Jordan vns divided Into
three districts or piovlnccs Judea on
tho south, aallleo on the north, and
Snmnrla In tho middle. The Jews ad
heied to tho Institutions of Moses, as
interpreted by tho priestly party at
Jerusalem, and esteemed themselves ns
superior to their neighbors. The Gall
leans were greatly influenced by the
commercial spltit, while the Samari
tans were depressed thiough tho mix
ture of races nnd tho lack of high in
centives. Our Lord found It ito His
ndvnntage to pass repeatedly through
all these sections, extending to nil
classes alike tho bencnts of His wis
dom and power, nvoldlng in this way
complications and misunderstandings
which might have arisen had Ho con
fined Himself to one section only. Our
lesson today presents nn Incident con
nected with ono of those journeys.
o
DEPARTING. After the woman had
prepured the way, as shown last week,
Jesus remained two days In Sychar,
Pleaching to the people, many of whom
believed on Him (verses 39 to 42.) Ho
then lesumed His ttavels noithvvard
(verse 43), accompanied by Ills dis
ciples. Ills old home, Nazareth (Luke,
11 51), lay directly in His pathway, an I
there He might ordinarily find many
things ot Interest, especially as He
had been absent for nearly a year.
But, turning aside, He passed on Into
the heart of Galilee. It appears that
the propriety of visiting the srenes of
His boyhood and tally manhood was
considered, although no mention of tho
conversation is mndo In tho nnrrativc.
Ho knew the temper of His townspeo
ple which was afterwaid displayed
(Luke, lv;16) nnd did not care at that
time to encounter tho opposition which
was certain -to nrise; and 1- explain
ed by saying to Ills disciples that a
prophet had no honor In his own coun
try (verse 41). Heieby He exhibited
piudence in selecting His field of la
bor. RECEIVING. As Jesus moved on
further north In Galilee Ho found the
people ready and anxious for Him
(verse 45). JIany of them had been at
the feast at Jerusalem (John, 11.13), in
obedience to the law as given by Mo
ses (Deut., xvlslG), showing that they
were loyal to the institutes of their le
llglon. There they had seen the mir
acles which He wrought (John, 111:2),
and they had been fo impressed thnt
they had come homo to report to their
neighbors nnd friends. In this way a
public sentiment had been awakened in
His behalf and His coining among
them was a signal for a general popu
lar movement to do Him honor. Know
ing the thoughts of men's minds and
the dispositions of their hearts (John,
il.So), it is not surprising, therefore,
that He turned away from Nazareth,
where the people were ready to take
His life, and entered into other towns
where n welcome awaited Hltn. This
was Ills present policy. The day will
come when He will go to those who
will reject Ilim (John, 1. 11). Now He
is operating to win the suppoit of
those who are worthy, who will nppie
elate Ills words and help His cause.
PESEECIIING. After entering other
villages Jesus fame to Vans whetc He
wiought Ills first miracle (John, ii-l).
ness, it is little more than a facon de
pallor. The north pole has no less
than 221 days of pinUlcnl daj light
each enr. the swuth pole 215 days, tho
equator 707 days. Nansen, when In
high northern latitudes, was able to
read the "Veidensgang" many days
befoie the longed-for sunrlso follow
Ingg the long winter night. Tho great
length of the twilight in polar le
gions Is a boon Indeed to exploteis.
The popular Imagination usually at
taches itself to tho gitat cold they
have- to endure, but the real enemy
Is the long darkness, which Is trying
to the enthusiiam ot even a Nansen,
a Peury, or a Jackson.
There Is practically nu dltfeicnce In
tho lensrth of twilight at the eqmtor
at tho equinoxes nnd solstices. Even
at Honolulu it will not vniy by moio
than a couple of minutes. But In the
higher latitudes the vaijing duration
is very marked. In latitude 59VL de
Eiees, for Instance, it lasts ilfty-slt
minutes at tho equinoxes, but at the
summer solstice it lasts from sunset
to sunilse that Is to na, fiom 910
o'clock till 2 50, or for llvu houis and
forty minutes.
Noith or south of SI degrees practi
cal twilight lasts all "night" at the
equinoxes. The sun Is, it is true, only
twelve houis above the horizon, but
as he cannot get moio than peven de
giees below It theto Is continual day
light for the twenty-fonur houis In
such cities ns Stockholm and St Pet-ursbuip-
there nro close on to four
teen houis of davllght at those sea
sons when day and night aie said to
bo equal, and at tho equator Itself
tho day all the year lound Is made up
of thirteen hours da light and eleven
houis darkness. It must also not bo
f oi gotten that In those latitudes where
the sun remains for months below the
horizon tjiero is during that peilod a
good deal of daylight, so that along
tho eightieth parallel north (a little
north of which tho Jackson-Harms-worth
expedition spent three consecu
tive years in the Franz Josef Inlands),
although the sun does not rise be
tween Oct. 19 and Teb. 22, there Is
a period of three weeks following tho
final sunset and another of the same
length preceding the first sunrise of
the year, on each day of which good
type can be read for a few minutes up
to some hours without utttflclal light.
HAUNTS DEBTOR.
An Odd Specimen Who Is a Success
ful Collector of Bad Debts.
Prom tho Augusta (Me ) Journal
"There's tho bct collector In Augus
ta," and tho head of an Augusta firm
Indicated the man on whom this pralso
had been bestowed.
"Ho doesn't look It."
"No, nor anything llko It, yet I be
lieve that his appeal ance Is about 90
per cent, of his stock In trade. Just
size him up. Did you ever seen a more
Ingenious face? He got his Job Just as
ho gets money from tho debtors -that
are bad pay. He came tight to me nnd
asked for employment. I told him
that wo were not In need of any one,
This second visit would bo rendered
moto agreeable by the events that at
tended the first. It would not bo pur
posing It Ho received n cordial wel
come at tho house where the water
was inado wine, nnd If manv present
on that occasion came forth to do Him
honor (veiso 40). Ills presence was
soon noised about and known oven in
other towns. A nobleman residing in
Capernaum, who had a sick son, hear
ing that Jesus was In Cann, hastened
to Him, Involving n Journey of twenty
miles. Hitherto none but the dwellers
of tho land had bought Christ or como
In contact with Him, but now a ruler,
an olllcer of tho Roman government,
has come. This is a high maik of our
Loid's popularity. The nobleman, who
heard of Christ's miracles, believed thnt
Ho might be secured for his son, who,
nt tho point of death (verso 4"), was
beyond the help cf other physicians,
but ho deemed It necessary for Jesus
to go to Capcnvium.
o
REBUKING -The opportunity wa3
thus afforded and Jesus embraced It
to expose n 'xitlminl characteristic.
About Him weio gathered tho people
of Cnna who had witnessed Ills deeds
on other occasions, some In their own
city, some at the national feast. They
wero all lovera of the marvelous, living
under the dominion of sense (I Cor.,
i:2J). Even tho apostles wore a long
time bound fast in tho amo spirit,
and one of them displayed It nf tcr tho
rcsunectlon (John, xx:23). Turning,
therefore to the company, Jesus re
buked them saylnff that they would
not believe His power in this case be
cause they would not be present to 6ee
what He actually did (verse 4S). These
words did not disturb tho nobleman.
He already believed, or he would not
have been present. But as a fuither
proof of His faith, ho urged that Jesus
go with him to Capernaum to save his
bon, still adheilng to the thought that
the Master must visit the sick boy.
Theie was no defect In Ills faith as we
shall soon see, but thero was a mis
take in His judrment concerning the
essential conditions of power (verso
4?).
HEALING That was enough. The
private remaik of Jesus to the Jewo
standing near had served several good
purposes. It showed them that their
faith in Him hud not yet risen to its
proper level that It was depending on
the testlmonv of the senses. It gavj
tho nobleman an oppoitunlty to reveal
the state of his own mind, as already
resting upon the Lord, so resting that
no inelevant remark could weaken It.
The display of such faith could not go
without its reward (verse CO). Jesus
said, "Go thy way, thy son llveth."
The healing had already begun.through
tho exercise ot Divine power over all
the Intervening space. It was not nec
esaty for the Loid to be piesent in
bodv. lie was present In spirit. He
pioposed to show for the first time a
new clement of His nature, a futther
proof of His divinity (Piov., xv-3). And
now the nobleman proves himself equal
to this now tpst laid upon him "he
believed the void," and In. went his
way. That was true faith lelinnce
upon one's utterances. The wotds of
ChrKt uio the fullest revelation of Him,
and he who accepts those woids as ab
solutely tiuthful shows Highest confi
dence (John, III 32).
and followed the ufaual form In telling
him to call again.
"He took the Invitation llteially,
walked around tho square and diopped
In to make another application. 'You
told mo to call again,' he said. 'Want

once more, carelessly asking him to
call again.
"Another tilp around the squaie, and

REPORTING. The nobleman went
home believing; every step was nn act
of faith. Ho needed no evidence except
the wotd of Jesus. On that ho rested
with fullort assurance that tho deslro
of his hcnit had been attained. In the
way ho met his servants coming to
report that his son was allvn (verso 51).
Tho Information did not surptlso him
it wns only what he expected. But
there appeared then a disposition to
veiifv ull that had transpired, to con
nect to a certainty the word spoken In
Cana with the cure wrought in Caper
naum. He leurned ithat at the very
hour when Jesus spoket the fover left
the son. Tho coincidence of the an
nouncement nnd the occurrence wan
proof to him that ono was tho cnusj
of tho other. This was good reasoning,
for there was no other adequate influ
ence that could have stayed the cours"
of disease, and In an Instant of time
begun the woik ot restoration. It will
be noticed that the report of the ser
vants was rendered on the day fol
lowing the remark of Jesus (verse 52),
so that tho nobleman had not hastened
homew ard.
o
BELIEVING. There was a lejolc
ing household in Capernaum when tho
noblemnn returned. A son saved from
death Is an unspeakable blessing to an
orientalist (Luke, xv24). But the joy
changed its character somewhat and
took on nn dement of thanksgiving,
when the fncts ot tho journey wcro re
lated In detail. How the plea had been
presented, how It wns nt first received
with apparent indiftcronce.how in more
earnest words the urgency of tho case
was made known, how the benign and
gentle Jesus had spoken, how the heart
of the father clung to that word, how
ho turned away homeward, feeling that
the work was done all this the noble
man must have ieclted again and again
to eager llsteneis, dwelling on the cir
cumstance that at 1 o'clock the fever
left when Jesus uttered the word. And
ns a result of that account all the
household of the nobleman believed in
Jesus believed Him to bo tho sen ot
God, tho Meoslah ot tho Jews (John,
1112). These were tho first converts
made in Capernaum, the beginning of
that large number who should after'
ward become attached to IIlmMn His
future homo (verso 53).
o
REFLECTIONS Lot us try to dis
cover the elements of the tuler's faith,
which secured for him the life of his
son. 3. He heard that Jesus had done
great cures, nnd on that testlmonv hi
believed Him to bo able to work this
cure. 2. He heard that Jesus was in
Cana and believed that ho might go to
Him and plead his own case. 3. He
had heaid of tho goodness of Jesus and
believed that ile would go twenty miles
to do a generous deed. 4. He knew
that his son was near to death's door,
but believed that Jesus might save his
life. C. He heard tl.o rebuke adminis
tered to unbelieving Jews who wcro
incapable of faith except by physical
demonstrations, yet he believed that
Jesus had power to heal without being
present. C. He went home, not In great
haste, because he believed that the one
he loved would live (Ha., xvlll:lG).
7 Withal, his faith was contagious. It
spread thiough his family. Other
hearts and minds than his yielded their
tilbute to J.sus, and new plans nnd
puiposes as well as new Joys enteied
In to make a new home.
