LITERARY EDITOR, THE NEW YORK WORLD: It is with sincere appreciation that I thank you for your very kind review of my book, Christ’s Off- spring or Spiritual Generation, just published by G. P. Putnam’s Sons.* Allow me to explain a vital point, , essential to a right apprehension of Christ, as spiritually interpreted in # Science and Health With Key to th ! Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy \ and as taught by her loyal student, Stetson. the spiritual visibility of God, the divine image and likeness, ! the man of Spirit’s formation, gov- erned by the creative Principle— « eternal Mind, Spirit, Life and Love. & The infinitely innumerable members « of this true creation, or manifesta- ¢ tion of spiritual causation, appear in divine order and never change their eternal relation to each other. “God has placed the members in the bod: ‘ as it has pleased Him.” The Head, ot presiding member, of this wholly spiritual univere, is Christ, who gives his name and nature to the whole body. So, i we can include all creation, or we can restrict it equally correctly to the Head. Christ—using the term in its re- stricted sense as applied to the Head, or leading member—first human apprehension the masculine human « Jesus, who, because of this, was called the Christ. Christ, however, is without beginning of years or end of days and is the divine, in- « dividual Son of God, through whom Principle works to create or reveal »its inexhaustible ideas, which com pose the entire body or universe of Mind’s creating. ° We are told in_Genesis, that the image of God, which we call Christ, is male and female. Reason and revelation coincide at this point, as at all points. The masculine ele- ment of the image, or Christ, of God, operated through the yielding human Jesus, until the male flesh .veil was rent from top to bottom and disappeared, having been dis- solved under the fervent heat of the Christ light. This is known, in his- tegy. as the first coming of Christ. At that time the complete working out of the masculine human concept resulted in a seeming disappearance of the Christ, but all that disap- peared was the Adam, that which was tangible to the carnal senses, the human Jesus. The second coming of Christ is attended by similar conditions, only that, at this hour, the feminine hu- man concept, or Eve, must give way to the Christ. The point of least resistance in the whole human femi- nine concept was Mary Baker Ed- dy. She yielded up the ghost of ma- terial conception, and the compound Christ, as both male and female, ahd yet neither-male nor female in any human sense, is now appre- hended. The consummation of the second coming of Christ will be the full appearing-of ‘the-ideal-man, who is in the term Christ | | “King of kings and Lord of lords.” | All of God’s children are kings, | rulers by reason of their perfect un- | derstanding of their perfect Prin- | ciple, divine Mind; but the leading member is the governing Head. It is because oi this immutable fact, t that “the spiritual leadership of the Christian Science Church” can never e held by any other than its Di coverer and Founder. In the Manual of her Church, The Mother Church, Mrs. Eddy instructs | Christian Scientists throughout the | world that they are to use the term ILead_er, in a metaphysical sense, as applied to herself alone. As Chris- tian_Scientists, we recognize “the spiritual leadership of the Christian | Science Church” to be unchangeable, | and inalienable, from its Discoverer and Founder, now so widely known to the world as Mary Baker Eddy, but understood by her advanced fol- owers to be identical with the Christ idea, that has always led the {children of Israel aiter the Spi (It is the same Christ, reflecting t | tion. There is no other generation, | for Adam-Eve is a false sense of the | compound Christ, whose false ma- |terial begetting and conception | bring forth a counterfeit universe, ‘whxch begins in shame and suffering and ends in fear and death.

UNTRUE, IS CLAIM Correspondents Challenge Statement That Practice Is “Rampant” in South. To the Editor of The Star: 1 have just read in The Star a com- munication under the caption “Peon- age Rampant, Says _Southerner. signed by M. N. Corbett, who savs is a southern man. To a man who has lived in the south well i half a century and is conversant with conditions and practices in that s tion, the statements contained in communication referred to arc indeed puzzling. Its author is obviously prejudiced and it is difficult to con- ceive of a genuine southerner being so badly misinformed in regard to practices obtaining in the south. The statement that the law impos- ing the penalty of disfranchisement for conviction of larceny was made in order to disfranchise as many ne- groes as possible is unworthy of no- tice. 1 suggest that this correspond- ent look into the laws of the states in other sections. Statement Challenged. The writer states that a sentence of one vear in the penitentiary is the lightest sentence that can be im- posed for such “trivial” offenses as larceny. vet in the same sentence he says that the judge, upon conviction of such criminals, would turn them over to farmers who would pay court costs and keep, the convicts for a year. 1 challenge the truth of this state ment. 1 should like to have a cita- tion to the statute or statutes im- posing a minimum penalty of one year for petit larceny and authoriz- ing the court to “sell” convicted per- sons in consideration of -court costs and the keeping of the prisoners for a year. It is a fact that members of the colored race are continually finding themselves in the clutches of the law in the south on account of the com- mission of these “trivial” offense: The law usually imposes a fine or jail or “chain gang” sentence. To avoid going to jail the prisoner in many instances borrows the mone- from some employer of men (not necessarily a farmer), giving the lender a note fo rthe money and en- tering into a contract to work for him a stated time, the loan being repaid out of wages. This undoubtedly is abused, but it is “a very present help in the time of trouble” and the lender quite often is the loser. The court has nothing to do with this plan other her than to release the prisoner upon pro- duction of the amount of his fine. Effect. of Vagrancy Laws. Concerning _the reference to vag- rancy laws: Every person informed as to conditions in the south knows that the curse of the south is the idle negro. The south is full of good, in- dustrious negroes whose true friend is the southerner. Yet there is a class of negroes in the south “who toil not neither do they spin.” They are the ones who commit the crimes laid at the door of the negro race. The only way to keep such crimes down at the south is to keep the negro busy. 8he vagrancy laws have done |§ more to curb crime among the negroes of the eouth than any other thing. To save his own hide Williams slandered the other farmers of Geor- gia. Peonage i{s wrong morally and legally and anyone guilty of it should be punished. If the farmers of Geor- |R gia, or North Carolina, or South Caro- |} lina, or Alabama, or Mississippi, or Louisiana, or Texas, or any other state, are practising this crime they should be brought to justice and the law abiding element of those states | will see to it that they are. Yet state- ments such as are made in the article rfeerred to in the foregoing are in- correct. Another Correspon To the Editor of the Sta My attention has been called to a communication in your paper of the 14th inst, signed by M. N. Corbett, which goes considerably further than anything I have recently read in point of absolute igronarnce of the subject he attempts to discuss. T have no idea where Mr. Corbett hails from, but judging from the manner in which he entirely ignores facts, and deal wild flights of pure “moonshine,” I an convinced he has spent but little it any time in at least one of the states he mentions. As a native Mississippian, where the greater part of my life has been spent, where 1 am familiar with the negro labor question-and with the laws and mode of enforoing same, I challenge Mr. Corbett to produce evidence to show -an instance where a circuit judge has imposed a fine under the conditions he named, or a sin case where a wife and children were held for the debts of a deceased negro. Hits reference to the vagrancy laws of Mississippi and the manner of en- | forcing them, as well as his entire article, are just as different from facts and true conditions there as is day from night, and the letter is char- acteristic throughout with a lack of information which should deter any man from giving publicity thereto. One who writes in ignorance of facts and states in lieu thereof things that are the reverse of truth, is more apt to injure than benefit his cause and leaves on the mind of his reader a strong belief that he is actuated by ulterior motives.

Sherrill Has Constructive Program for Wider Use of Playgrounds. Signs of the announced policy of Lieut. Col. C. O. Sherrill, Engineer Corps, U. S. A.. officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, to fos- ter all sports in the public parks in rict of Columbia, are becom- ing evident in the playgrounds. A horse show has already been staged near the polo field in Poto- mac Park, the preliminary games of a polo tournament that will start next Wednesday, were played yesterday and the increasing throngs of golfers and tennis players in the parks bear evidence of the expanding facilities for sports in the public parks. Col. Sherrill is personally in favor der expansion of the sports facilities in the public_parks of the District of Columbia than any plan ‘et been proposed. The policy n. Harts, formerly the offi- rge of public buildings and for development of Kast Po- mac Park, to be a great playground will be carried out as far as possible under Col. Sherrill's direction. This policy has been carried out in large measure by development of golt s in East Potomac Park, which toma | Bolf authorities say promises to de- Yelop into one of the best public courses in the United States. Additional "tennis courts will be under construction within a short time on the site of the Army barracks in East Potomac Park just south of the railroad tracks. While fostering a broad athletic policy. "Col. Sherrill places the ut- most insistence on cleanliness in the parks and has instructed all park employes to see to it that proper re- ceptacles for the disposal of trash and garbage are placed in convenient places. Business men in Washington feel that in_connection with the work to make East- Potomac Park a play- ground for the people of Washington, there should also go hand in hand some plan for speedy transportation to the more remote parts of the park. At present the area south of the rail- road tracks and particularly that on the point of the speedway has no fa- cilities for quick transportation other than the small boat which runs.across the Washington channel from the War College. Every one has not an automobile, it is asserted, and some means of quick_transportation to the golf course and tennis courts south of the railway bridge should be pro- vided. D. S. C. FOR CAPT.
