CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Mr. W. A. Purrington, who con
tributed to the March number of
the "North American Review" an
article on "Christian Soienoe and Its
Legal Aspect" which attracted
much attention, pursues the subject
in the August number of the "lie
view" in a twiner which he entitles
"TheCaseAgaiustChristian Science."
In making out his case, Mr. Purring-
ton has gone totfre writings of Mrs.
Eddy and taken extract from them,
which he spreads out upon the page
for the purpose of comparison or
comment. Mr. Purrington assumes
"that candid, intelligent persons in
terested in Mr Eddy's teachings
and alleged marvellous curve", are
willing to learn the truth and try
the teacher upon her utterances in
the forum of common sense." In
endeavoring to account for the vogue
of Christian Science, Mr.Purringtoii
says:
"Why is it then that Christian
Science is credited with these niar
vellous cures, if its foremost profess
ors cannot bring forward any better
proofs of them than are afforded by
certificate no better in manner and
degree than those accompanying ev
ery ijiiack nostrum that is advertis
ed. The explanation is simple. Iu
perhaps the majority of cases to
which physicians are called, nothing
more is needed than regimen and the
mental stimulus that outnsa to the
patient with knowledge that he is
under -killed care. It a physician
falls ill, he calls another to attend
him, chiefly for the sake of this
mental stimulus and to eliminate the
personal factor. Drugs and surgi
tsd appliances may lie needed in only
a small projiortiou of cases; but, like
a revolver in Texas, they areueeded
greatly when the occasion arises.
?. i! , ir t! liJ
many uiaeaaoi mi: :u niuiteu, many
are le'iinied, or due to a fixed idea
which may operate even in surgery,
as when a patient, under thcerrone
OUS impression that his leg is broken,
nnoonscioualjr inhibits muscular ac
tion and is unable to put foot to the
ground, until dispossessed of the in
hibitorv idea by mechanical devices
or any method, even Christian Sci
ence, changing the mental attitude.
In all such cases, whatever removes
the mental tension may lie beneficial.
Many patients would get well with
out any attendance at all."
Need of Workers in the South.
What the-South has needed since
the war has been a rcestablishmcnt
of the material basis for civilization.
The greater part of the soil had be
come either very badly cultivated or
wholly neglected ; and there needed
the application of industry and brains
to the arrricultural reclamation of
what is by nature about the fairest
and richest portion of the country
or the planet. Furthermore, the
close of the war found the majority
of the mansion houses and better
class of homes outside of the large
towns completely ruined, while it
also found the great mass of the
imputation, including the negroes
and the poor whites, living in rude
cabins and shanties. There was

milled a young population that had
both the will and the skill to con
struct houses and make homes. Sla
very had ot necessity made every
good j ni ii i hit ion a training-school in
agriculture and in handicrafts, The
negroes of slavery times knew how
to raise "otton and tobacco, how to
care for live-stock, bow to makeand
mend harness, to do plain black
smithing, to mold, burn, and lay
brick, to do the plainer work of the
ill
joiners, carpenters, a n u wheel
wrights, and, indeed, to work at
many other useful trades and crafts.
The war destroyed the plantation
system, which had provided train
ing in such trades and crafts; anil
the rapid dying off of theold genera
tion of blacks accordingly left the
South with a new (generation on its
hands devoid of discipline, industry,
and practical skill. What the
young negroes of the South needed
was nut Latin and Creek, but the
practical training that would teach
them how to mend a mule harness
and the moral training that would
keep them from drinking whisky.
It was the theory at the North that
the colored race needed the inspira
tion of book - learning and of a purer
system of religious and ethical in
struction. In other words, it was
the Northern view that the negroes
needed an educated ministry oftheir
own raw and the most rapid multi
plication of negro school teachers.
There was, of course, a certain
amount of truth in all this; but it
was, after all, not more than a half
truth, and probably considerably less
than a half. Some of the institu
tions which were founded to teach
young Degrees Latin, Creek, and
theology were in the hands of men
who in time tame to see the situa
tion as it actually was, and who
gradually enlarged the practical and
industrial departments of their
Schools until these features became
predominant. Those are thcinstitu
tions which are now best entitled to
Northern support and which have
won the approval and good-will of
the liest and wisest Southern senti
ment. From "The Progress of the
world," in the American Monthly
Review of Revieics for August.

A PRIME INVESTMENT.

Twelve Thousand Acres of
leh Copper Land.
The Boston and Texas Copper
company have twelve thousand acres
of land in North Texas near the
Wichita Valley railroad. It is roll
ing prairie, well watered, fertile and
highly adapted to agriculture and

large quantities of the richest ore in
the world taken from the surface
and marketed. Openings were made
from time to time and cupper found
to extend all over the entire proper
ty. Examinations were made by
eminent geologists, chemists and en
gineers including Prof. W. F. Cum
mins, Prof. William PeRyee, State
chemist of Texas, Prof. Jacob Ball,

others who confirmed the State, re
ports and practical tests of - thvV ex
tent and value of the deposits..."
The Boston & Texas Copper com
pany secured the property this year
and at once began active work in
creasing the number of men from
time to time until it now has large
number employed opening the prop
erty and taking out the ore, with
results that the farther operations
extend and the more the ground is
opened, the greater the dejtosits of
copper prove to be; A section of
two and a half miles long by one and
a half wide has already been tested
and a blanket of coptier marl run
ning from five to twenty-five per
cent, in copper was found to extend
oxer the entire area and large
amounts of nugget uncovered, rang
ing from forty to eighty per cent.
