DEFINES CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE PRINCIPLE
Prof. Hermann Hering Addresses
Audience of 2000 Persons
at Simpson Auditorium
PURE CONSCIOUSNESS IS AIM
Work of Late Mrs. Eddy in the
Church Is Praised by First
Reader
A congregation of nearly 2000 people
assembled at Simpson auditorium yes
terday afternoon, occupying ■ every
available seat from floor •to gallery,
and in addition to this number 500
people were not able to gain admission.
It was the occasion of a lecture by
Prof. Hermann Herinß, C. S. 8., on
"Christian Scienco: The Science of
Salvation," under the auspices of the
Third church, Christian Scientist.
Professor Herlng, a native of Phila
delphia, and son of the lato Dr. Con
stantino Herlng, whom Hahhemann
called "The Father of Homoeopathy in
America," is a graduate of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania fr»m the depart
ment of mechanical engineering, receiv
ing the professional degree of M. E.
in 1886. He was made professor of
mechanics and electrical engineering by
the Philadelphia board of public edu
cation In 1887. and in 1891 was called
to the John* Hopkins university in
Baltimore, .as associate in electrical
engineering, where he remained eight
years engaged in lecturing and_ In
conducting laboratory and research
work. .'-.-. • -'<■
In 1899 he gave up his profession for
the purpose of devoting himself entire
ly to Christian Science work, and was
a practitioner, reader and teacher In
Baltimore and publication committee
for Maryland and : the District of
Columbia. In 1902 he was elected First
Reader of the Mother church in Bos
ton for a term of three years, and sub
sequently was made president of the
church and a lecturer.
In 1906 he was called to Concord, N.
H., to become the First Reader of the
Christian Science church of that city,
and has recently completed his three
year term of office there. .
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE DEFINED
• Professor Hering was followed at
tentively by his auditors. Ho said in
"In considering, the subject of Chris
tian Science: the Science of Salvation,
It is well to have a mutual understand
ing as to I the meaning of the terms.
Sconce means exact, systematized and
demonstrable knowledge of facts, laws
and causes, while according to Smiths
Bible dictionary salvation means 'de
liverance from ' temporal evils and
earthly destruction/ in other words,
deliverance from evil—from sin, disease
and death. Hence 'The Science of Sal
vation* moans in substance that dem
onstrable knowledge which affords de
liverance from all evil. ; ' -'""' -' ■ ■ .
"St. Paul admonishes us to work out
our own salvation. This Scriptural
command means ! far more than the
common belief that salvation is as
sured by simply having belief or faith
in Jesus as the Son of God. Such sav
ing ■ faith is vitally necessary, but it
is only the beginning of our salvation-
Its spiritual '. basis. vv"'' v'--\
- "Then must ' follow the working out I
of our deliverance from evil on. this
basis- our actual separation from sin,
from the bondage of this world, from
limitation, failure, disease, death.
"In working out our salvation we
must first see that salvation or deliv
erance from evil is a mental process,
takes place In mind; that it Is a tr^ns?
formation through Mind and is both
ethical and- philosophical. ■ -•_
"The Bible declares that to be car
nally minded is death; but to be spirit
ually minded is life and peace.
PHENOMENA OF THE MIND ..
"Christian Science teaches that mat
ter and material existence are phe
nomena of the mortal, material, finite
mind, a concept of existence obtained
through the physical senses, a misap
prehension of reality held by human
consciousness when uninstructed by
Science, an appearance instead of an
actuality. It is simply an Imitation or
counterfeit obtained from a finite, di
mensional, mortal basis. "•
"Now it Is not the appearance but
only the original that has -power, in
telligence and substance. The manifes
tation of growth, action or being in
' matter is but a material. concept or
spiritual facts. > .
"The objects, action and power ex
' pressed in a moving picture are not in
the picture and wo do not ' associate
them with the picture, but with the
original which the. picture reproduces.
Similarly, life, growth, action, power,
substance, law, et cetera, are not in
matter, physical existence or the ma
■ terial consciousnes; but in divine Mind,
the only cause and Principle of being,
and should be so thought of.- . .
"When we recognize God as the only
Mind, the only cause. Truth is reflected
in consciousness and existence is har
monious. . When we believe, causation
to be material or in mortal mind, we
put our trust and dependence in a
shadow, a false belief, and existence,
so called, is discordant, liable to dis
ease, disaster, death. In order to work
out our salvation we therefore need to
understand causation.
v- "MIND, DIVINE FRINCIPI-E"
"The ' ordinary ~: human J concept of
mind is that which : thinks, feels or
wills, the Intellect, or the . activity of
the gray matter called brain. Chris
tian Science reveals the fact that Mind
is . divine Principle, the infinite Life,
Truth, Love,. omnipotent, 'omniscient,
mnip'resent, the all-inclusive, eternal,
anchanglng,. all-wise being, the only
cause • and , creator. ■'*'
"Christian Science makes it clear
that material existence Is not_> the
manifestation of this divine Mind, but
the phenomenon of .;; the , counterfeit,
called mortal mind. ■•-,• '•>
"It Is this false concept of existence
that does all the wrong thinking; that
believes in sin, disease and death; that
claims there Is life and Intelligence In
matter. 1 ■' ";■ • '.'''.' ■•■-•V-;. '■'
"The difference between the method
of healing through mental suggestion,
or hypnotism, and that of th» divine
Mind,, the . Christ healing, must be
clearly seen. , '
"When the effort la made to heal by
suggestion," the operator! endeavors by
means of mental manipulation to make
the patient believe that he is not sick.
He attempts to change the belief, but
the • cause of disease remains : and : in
time manifests Itself even ' in , worse
forms. The patient is no better ( off,
he i has not > risen in , the scale of • be
ing, he has no more manhood, or mor
al ; courage, and :, does not ! know any
more about God and . His Clfrist than
before. ■
"The true Christian Scientist reflects
Hi.- 'divine .Mind,.stands on the basis
• of God, man and the universe us Spirit
and spiritual, as Love and its manlfes
lit^lgs, a?! Mlud . agd ita ide^s—perfoct
Professor Hermann S. Hering Who
Lectured on Christian Science
and harmonious. Hence he understands
the unreality, of matter and evil and
knows that mar. is not sick but that
the patient is simply suffering from
a false mesmeric belief. From that
standpoint he proceeds to correct the
errors of belief with the Truth of being
and thus establishes harmony On a
spiritual, scientific basis.
"It is not to be wondered at, indeed
it is Inevitable, that Christian Scien
tists should love Mrs. Eddy for having
brought to the world this Science of
Salvation, the true knowledge of God
■and man, the spiritual understanding
of the HOly Scriptures which enables
them to know themselves and demon
strate that 'saving faith' which alone
leads to heaven.
"Mrs. Eddy did not simply state her
discovery to the world; she first dem
onstrated it and then offered it as a
demonstrable Science for all mankind
to profit by. This Science overcomes
evil by giving a true knowledge of
God and His Christ; it enables all
humanity to work out their own salva
tion and reach that pure consciousness,
wtiich Jesus called tho kingdom of
heaven."
This lecture will be repeated at the
Auditorium this evening and also to
morrow evening in order that all may
hear the speaker, who is one of the
well known lectutrers of the Christian
Science organization.
COMPARE ATHENS PRISON
TO CHAMBER OF HORRORS
Prisoners in Greek Jail Starve to
Death; Police Cruel to Children
ATHENS, Dec. 11.—A certain amount
of suffering is unavoidable in every dis
ciplinary system: but in Athens every
day one's heart is torn by the sight of
barbarities which one had hoped were
only to be found In semi-savage coun
tries. Reforms are now to be insti
tuted, but these were practically forced
on the government by a pitiful tragedy
which occurred the other day In the
central police station, and has shocked
the whole of Athens.
In the center of the city is a large
and rambling building where prisoners
are kept to await their trial. Here, In
cellars, the windows of which are on a
level with the pavement, languish for
indefinite periods suspects of all classes
and ages. Herded together, these un
fortunate men peer through the win
dows at the.curious spectators. With
out sustenance or means to obtain it,
they climb to the level of the street
and thrusting their hands through the
bars importune the passersby for alms.
Children and old men, sick and halo,
are, It appears, thrust together in a
place of common confinement. There tho
healthy soon become diseased, some of
the weaker prisoners die and the in
nocent are initiated into tho knowledge
of vice.
This chamber of horrors, which is
passed every day by hundreds of
Greeks, has now had public attention
drawn to It. A suspect was one morn
ing found dead. It Is true that the
man had suffered from consumption,
bu the autopsy showed that no food
had been taken by the unfortunate man
for at least three days. It appeared
that the contractor had neglected to
supply food according to agreement.
The guards were aware of the case, but
cynically declared that they had no
money to buy food with and the man
slowly starved to death.
It Is a common sight in Athens to sp<s
small boys 10 and 12 years old, their
arms tightly bound to their' small
bodies by clothes-lines, marched
through the streets by policemen with
bayonets fixed. After they reach the
prison to which reference has been
made the period passed in awaiting
trial Is a long one. There is no one to
take up their cause and the general
public seems to ace nothing barbarous
in the treatment of prisoners.
ARMY ARSENAL MAY BUILD
GUNS FOR 2 BATTLESHIPS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Some of
the 14-inth guns for the two new battle
ships authorized at the last session of
congress probably will be built at the
Watervllet army arsenal. The matter
will be decided after congress has act
ed upon all questions involved in the
construction of the new ships.
Some of the guns are now in process
of building at the Washington navy
yard. If it Is decided to build others
at the army arsenal the navy depart
ment will be actuated, it is said, by
the fact that the arsenal is practically
out of work and to prevent the closing
down of the plant.
A few of the guns probably will be
built by private contract.

SHAWNEES CLAIM
TRACT IN MEXICO
American Indians to Press Title
to 60 Miles Square Grant
in Chihuahua
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 12.—
armed with a letteT of introduction
from Governor Haskoll of Oklahoma
to Governor Sanchez of Chihuahua,
Billy Little Ax, with two other big
Shawnoo Indians from Oklahoma, Is
in Chihuahua, Mexico, to claim a tract
of land sixty miles square in what is
now the state of Chihuahua. It is
claimed by the Indians 'that a long
time ago the Shawnees owhed this
tract and the three Indians are now
searching the records for the title to
the land. The letter from Governor
Haskell is as follows:
"The bearers of'this letter are three
Shawnee Indiana, and one of them is
a grandson of our most famous
Tecumseh. They are Shawnees, and
their tribe, contrary to the disposition
of our native Indians, have always
been loyal to the state and federal
government under which they lived.
The Spanish documents In the archives
at Austin, Texas, relating to these
people, under date of October 24, 1834,
recite In part as follows: 'The Shaw
nees, and those accompanying them,
are both enterprising and Industrious,
and If given an award of land, which
they come soliciting, would be a pro
tection to their capital against the
raids of the Wacos, and all other fierce
and refractory Indians who have
heretofore so often hostillzed us.' It
appears to be the purpose of the In
dians to look up the title to some lands
within your state that they believe
was granted to them through their
forefathers, which was for service ren
dered your city and state in reconcil
ing and subduing the Apache and
other Indians about the year 1840. In
this state they have long been peace
ful and law-abiding, and as such clti- j
zens I commend them to you."
The old chief speaks English better
than most of the old-time Indians.
Billy says that there haa been a great
change, not only in the conditions, but
in the manners and customs of the In
dians of his part of the country during
the past thirty years. Before that time
the average Indian, owing mainly to
the uncivilized state in which he had
been accustomed to live, and the abun
dance of game all over the west, was
almost void of ambition, so far as
wealth was concerned, but the white
man came apd overpowered the no
madic bands of their bad boys, estab
lished schools in which the little In
dians were taught the ways of the
world, of which they had always been
liivng in blissful ignorance; the game,
including the buffalo, was about all
killed off. and when the various tribes
Were finally compelled to go to work
on the lands that had been given them
by the government, they began to rea
lize the value of money and to appre
ciate the earning capacity of their
lands. At first the majority of Indians
did not look upon the schools with
much favor, but as civilization poured
in on them and they were turned from
the ways of transgression, the older
heads became more enlightened and
finally encouraged the children to go
to school; consequently, nearly all of
the Indians are now prosperous and
ambitious. They have learned In a
groat measure to emulate the white
man in upholding the laws of the land
and as seekerß after knowledge.
RANCHES IN TEXAS
CUT INTO FARMS
Value of Lone Star State Ag
ricultural Land Is Increas
ing Rapidly
(Special to The Herald)
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 11.—The
cutting up of tho cattle ranches, tracts
of from iorty thousand to two hundred
thousand and three hundred thousand
acres, into farms is the principal fautor
in increasing farm values in the Lone
Star state. Commissioner of Agricul
ture E. R. Kone, in his biennial report
Just submitted to the governor, esti
mates that tho farm values in Texas,
including products, etc., at this time
amount to $1,532,679,020, and that they
are growing at the rate of two million
dollars a month.
The report states that the recently
passed nursery inspection law has
worked successfully and thousands of
dollars have been saved to the people
of the stae in a rigid enforcement of
the law preventing the distribution of
pests over the state. So enormously
are the agricultural interests growing
that the commissioner asks for larger
appropriations. He asks that the leg
islature arrange to pay $30,000 or $40,000
per year for collecting, through tax as
sessors, agricultural statistics. The
present statutes fail to provide any
compensation for the assessors, ana,
the report states, satisfactory returns
have not been received.
Since the beginning of cold weather
in the north, the railroads entering San
Antonio hava been bringing homeaeek
ers by the trainload. These are prin
cipally farmers from the middle west
and the eastern states, who come for
themselves to investigate the prospects
for farming here.
REVOLUTION HELPS STATK
Since the revolutionary troubles In
Mexico, there has beep a noticeable
falling off in the homeseeker travel to
the southern republic and Mexico's loss,
in this respect, Is Texas' gain. There
is little difference in the climate and
soil of southwest Texas and northern
Mexico, where most of the Americans
going to that country are settling.
So many hitherto undeveloped tracts
which, up to the last few months, were
devoted to cattle, are now being sold
and cleared for farming in the coun
ties between San Antonio and the Rio
Grande, that two railroads are to soon
follow the pioneer settlers in these re
gions. One projected line will run from
Beeville, a city east of San Antonio,
to Eagle Pass, or some other point on
the Rio Grande. Contracts have been
let with a Chicago railroad constructing
firm to build the first division of this
railroad, which will penetrate not only
a rich farming country, but lands con
taining oil and coal.
San Antonio capital is behind a rail
road that will be built In an almost air
line from this city to Brownsville,
Texas, In the lower Rio Grande val
ley. It will be two hundred and eighty
five miles in length and tap the valley
at a point west and north of Browns
ville thus traversing the delta lands
and affording transportation facilities
for that rich agricultural section.
Bonuses to the amount of $1,000,000
have been pledged for the first 100
miles and a construction company, cap
italized at $500,000, is now being organ
ized. -
MEYER WANTS ANTIQUATED
NAVAL LAWS REPEALED
Statutes Made for Wooden ves
sels Still in Force
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 —Legislation
to repeal two sections of the revised
statutes limiting the cost of repairs to
hulls and rigging oC naval veaell has
been urged OH the hou.se naval affairs
committee by Secretary Meyer.
When these laws were passed naval
is were built of wood and sails
were the principal means of. propul
sion. The electrical apparatus now in
ma for auxiliary purposes aboard ship
did not exist. The largest of these ves
sels had a displacement of about 5200
tons, ani they were simple and inex
pensive compared with modern naval
craft. A limit of cost of $3000 for tho
repair of hulls and spars and $1000 for
Mlllfl and rigging was then put in force.
Secretary Meyer calls the statutes
antiquated, and says there are no ad
equate safeguards in force against use
less expenditures.
JAPAN SHIPS RIFLES TO
FRENCH SOMALILAND
Weapons Used in Russian War
Sold to Jibuti
LONDON, Dee. 11.—A curious move
ment of trade is likely to begin soon—
namely the shipment of arms from
Japan to Jibuti in French Somaliland.
The value of the consignments at pres
ent arranged for falls not far short of
$500,000, and it seems likely that tho
rifles are some that were used in tho
Russo-Japanese war and aro so long
er required.
Jibuti, situated on the African main
land just outside the Red Sea, has
long been a favored spot for traffic in
weapons, though Prance, one of the
powers signatory of the Brussels act
in 1890, which Included certain pro
visions tending to restrict the trade
in arms from Kurnpe with the semi
barbarous peoples of Africa, has been
able to check smuggling from that
port into the interior. But the pro
visions of the Brussels act have not
been sufficiently explicit to prevent a
considerable trade which, though nomi
nally carried on with places outside of
the prohibited zone, was often des
tined for places within the zone, and
reached them either by means of a
change of destination as soon as the
high seas were reached, or by a trans
fer of cargo effected on tho high seas.
Also rifles have been sent from Jibuti
to the Persian gulf and landed from
native craft on the unfrequented coast
of Persian Baluchistan to be trans
ported thence by caravans into Afghan
istan and the hill country bordering
on the northwest frontier of India, H
would be Interesting, therefore, to
know if the sellers in Japan have tak
en the trouble to inquire what will be
done with these intended consign
ments of rifles.
BROTHERS WED SISTERS;
BOYS BORN SAME TIME
SAN ANTONIO. Tex.. Dec. 11.—A
strange coincidence was reported at
the city health office at El Paso, Texas,
as a result of the birth of two Mexi
can boys at 204 Eighth street, within
an hour. The fathers of the boys,
Jesus and Pedro Ohavira. are brothers,
and the mothers of the children, Maria
and Elanteria. are .isters, their maiden
names being Torres.
The two couples -were married the
same day, December 15, 1909. Jesus is
the husband of Maria and Pedro was
married to Elanteria. Both fathers are
section hands. As a climax to the
coincidence both children were named
Slcilio.
BELIEVE REVENGE
MOTIVE OF CRIME
Officers Suspect Former Em
ployes Killed Four Persons on
Farm in Kansas
MONEY LEFT IN STRONG BOX
Deed Conveying All Woman's
Property to Son Found
Among Her Papers
[Associated Press]
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 11.—Re
vengo and not robbery is now believed
to have been the motive of the murder
of four persons on the Bernhard farm
In Kansas Saturday.
The bodies discovered yesterday were
examined closely today and it was
found- that Kmiline Bernhard and her
son George had been terribly beaten
about the head, while Tom Morgan
and the hired man, who was today
identified as James Graves of Oregon,
had evidently been killed by one "or
two blows.
Edward P. Boyle, head of the Kan
«as City detective bureau, was sent to
the scene by Chief of Police Griffin
today. He assumed charge of the hunt
for the man or men who committed the
crime, and it is expected an arrest will
be made here within a few days.
SEARCH FOR SIX LABORERS
The first step will be to locate six
men, all of whom have recently
worked at the Bernhard farm. When
these are found the imprints of their
left hands will be taken and compared
with bloody finger prints found on the
white wall of a closet in which Mrs.
Bernhard is believed to have been mur
dered. "i 1".;".'- '* v"; ' ..
Another search was made or the
house today and a strong box in which
valuable papers and some money had
been placed was found. In this box it
deed conveying all of Mrs. Bernhard s
property to her son George was found.
The officers believe she intended to cut
off her other children. The deed never
had been filed. ■-
A bank book found shows that Mrs.
Bernhard opened an account with a
bank about a year ago and had more
than $3000 on deposit. ■
• The body of the hired man was iden
tified tonight by Glenn Cottner, a farm
hand from Green Valley, Mo. Cottner
said the man was James Graves, and
that his home was in a small town In
Oregon. Graves and Cottner, - accord
ing to the latter, worked on the same
farm in Missouri last September.
