Like most of the latter-day creeds the faith—in its modern form at least—originated in the United States, and has there found the majority of its adherents. Al though the name of Mary Baker G. Eddy can never be dissociated from the movement as long as it con tinues to exist, she cannot justly assume credit for its inception ; nor, as we understand, does she make this assumption. Throughout history we come across traces of several theosophic-therapeutic doctrines all more oi less allied to that which finds luc'd ex position in Retrospection and Introspection, and Mrs. Eddy herself argues that the Saviour was the first real exponent of the great truth that tfiere is but one Mind, one God, one Christ, and nothing real but Mitid. To pursue the argument: Matter and sickness are subjective states of error, delusions which can be dispelled by the mental process of a true knowledge of God and Christ, or Christian science. The so- called miracles performed by the Saviour were not, therefore, miraculous, but supremely natural, and He promised that those who believed should do cu rative works like his. It is difficult to pick holesi in an argument such as this, based as it is on essen tially logical foundations. The whole question re solves itself into a query as to whether the average human mind can so far relinquish its fleshly influences, can so far detach itself from mundane weaknesses as to attain the necessary spiritualised condition in which it assumes complete control of the body and all its functions. We are not aware that the actual as cendency of mind over matter has ever seriously been denied. The cardinal tenet of most faiths is that while the body is mortal, the mind is immortal. Manifestly, then, if we are able to discover and prac tically regulate a system of mental training designed to refine and strengthen the mind, in due time we should arrive at a condition of mental supremacy, after which, theoretically at least, w r e should rise above pain or any form of physical discomfort. That many individuals have so trained their mental faculties and arrived at this wished-for consummation, it would be idle to deny. The rock upon which Christian Science splits, in our opinion, is the inherent dis ability of the majority to achieve this spritual victory. Christian Scientists claim for their faith a complete absence of creed and dogma, while in the same breath they denv all actual healing power to medical and surgical sciences and the drugs employed. They claim that in no case of sickness is material aid requisite, not even in the case of a compound fracture or a distinctly organic disease. It is here that many people, willing and eager to accept the basic argu ment of Christian Science and to employ the divine mental force as a safeguard and remedy against many of the ills to which flesh is heir, cannot reconcile the entire dogma with the dictates of reason. All or nothing, is the only consolation they obtain from the leaders of the movement. And yet this dogma, pursued to its logical conclusion, would and must mean that man could attain immortality, since the fatal wear and tear of bodily tissues, apart from the ravages of disease, would ce.is^ as soon as the mind had gained the mastery. These be deep waters, and they are not to be bridged by trite quotations or parrot-like platitudes. The great mistake made by .many opponents of Christian Science is super- ficial’ty and overweening prejudice. They might pause in their vociferous objurgations and reflect upon the unquestionable fact that throughout the world today there are hundreds and thousands of sane men and women living in buoyant health and spirits, practically free from sickness and never hav ing recourse to the physician or his drugs. We may and do take strong exception to the methods em ployed by Christian Science propagandists and their system of healing—personally, we see no excuse for mental healers accepting remuneration for their services and making a sordid profession of gifts which, on their own confession, are of divine origin —but we cannot refuse to recognise as a blessing of incomparable value that immunity from many of the world’s greatest curses which is enjoyed by no inconsiderable section of our fellow men* Christian Science has glorious possibilities, but they can never wholly be realised as lofig as sacred truths are ex ploited for mundane, mercenary end*.

The brief notice we published yesterday of the disastrous floods in parts of Great Britain is sup plemented by the following details just to hand:— Heavy rain has fallen in South Wales and parts of the midlands and west of England, and disastrous floods, are reported. Several lives have been lost. The rainfall was very heavy at Merthyr, and floods have occurred. Mr. Rex Harvey, of Cefn, has dis appeared, and it is feared that he has been drowned. Mr. Harvey is clerk of the works at Cefncoed bridge, which is now in course of construction over the River Toff, on the northern boundary of Merthyr. Extensive timbering, which is to carry the super structure, has been put across the river some yards below the old bridge, and Tuesday night, at about half- past eleven, Mr. Harvey and a ganger went to the base of the woodwork to see if everything was all right. The river was rushing down in a great flood, and when the ganger returned he thought Mr. Harvey was following him, but found he had disappeared, presumably in the torrent. A search is being made for the body, but so far nothing has been seen. Mr. Harvey is well known, and is a son of Mr. T. F. Harvey, the Merthyr borough engineer and surveyor. The local rivers rose with great rapidity, and the water, rushing down from the mountain sides, affected numerous houses. Much inconvenience was experienc ed in the lower part of the town by surplusages of water, and owing to the mud siltage on the line of the local colliery trains bringing back the night men were ‘unable to proceed. The River Afon over flow ed its banks at Aberavon owing to the excessively heavy rain. Several bridges were washed away, and at the bottom part of the town of Aberavon hundreds of people have been rendered homeless and their habitations swamped. Cellars of the principal estab lishments have been filled with water, and damage of thousands of pounds has been done. A phenomenal rainfall in the Neath district caused serious floods, and great damage has been done. In some of the biggest shops there is a mud deposit two feet deep. A rumour gained currency that the Gnoll reservoir had burst, and many inhabitants con templated flight. They were reassured, however, bv the announcement that the flood was due to the failure of the culverts to carry the abnormal v Tume of water. A bridge was washed away on the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway at a point between Aberavon and Cwmavon. A considerable portion of the line has been destroyed, all traffic being suspended in consequence. A collier named Thomas Hickev was swept off the bridge in Rhondda Valley and w r as drowned, and at Aberdare Edward Bellingham, a cab driver, was swept away by the flooded river. Some houses were flooded in Georgetown. A woman named Sarah Edwards, 55, whose house was flooded, was much frightened, and retired to bed, where she was afterwards found dead. At Aberavon five child ren, two women, and two meh were rescued from the roof of a house, p. hole being cut in the roof. At Cardiff the raiflfitl measured two inches, and wm the heaviest since 1903. NEWS OF THE WORLD. Mr. Sidney Buxton, Postmaster-General, on Thurs day made an announcement in the House of Commons to the effect that an agreement had been reached wfith the Marconi Company, according to which all coastal stations hitherto in possession of the company will be handed over to the Imperial British Pest Office. In conformity with the regulations of the International Radio-Telegraphic Convention, al! these stations will be open to receive messages from ships equipped with the same system. The Marconi Com pany reserves to itself only the concession for their stations at Poldhu, in Cornwall, and Clifden, in Ire land, which were originally intended to maintain news communication with America. A similar agreement has also been reached with Lloyd’s Shipping Agency in tegard to their wireless stations. From eommereio- political and from strategical points of view it is in the public interest that coastal stations for the maintenance of communication with ships should be in the hands of the Government and administered as a section of the general British telegraphic system. A cablegram from New York states that bluejackets and marines from the foreign warships lying in the Hudson river took part on Thursday in a grand mili tary parade held in Manhattan Borough. British National Revenue for the quarter just elap sed amounted to £29,721,194, representing a net in crease of £421,187 over the corresponding period of last year. M inei s to the number of 4,000 have struck work at Cardiff owing to a dispute in connection with the eight-hour day. A St. Petersburg message states that the nervous condition of the Tsarina is so serious that the Imperial court will probably spend the entire winter in the Crimea. The following telegram reached us from St. Peters burg yesterday: The official telegraphic agency cir culates a communication received by the Foreign Ministrv from Charbin, giving details of a serious in cident resulting from an attempt by a Russian sheriff’s officer to forcibly dispose of by auction the property of the Charbin Brewery Company. Among the owners were two German subjects named Rublefsky and Rotger, who protested against the sale of their property. When the sheriff’s officer arrived at the brewery, lie found the door closed and the German flag hoisted. He was therefore compelled to invoke the aid of the police and make a forcible entry. Thereupon two Russian policemen were assaulted by the German subjects. The police re-established order without further incident, and the sale of the brew ery pro cot ded unchecked. The Russian authorities have made complaints of the behaviour of the Germans, while the German Consul has responded with a pro test against the Russian infringement of the ex-ter ritorial rights of the German subjects. According to a telegram from Buenos Ayres, the revolution that has been latent for some weeks past in Paraguay has broken out in earnest. Bands of insurrectionists have seized various points on the frontier; among them Villa Franca, Villa Oliva, Pedro Gonzales, Itacora, and Itapiru. The Colorado party, with General Cabalero at its head, is in the forefront of the movement, and it may be joined by some of the Liberal party. The Paraguayan Government has placed the telgraphs under censorship, but its posi tion is said to be insecure. The London Standard of yesterday published the following paragraph: “An important petition, rais ing protests against certain of the Budget proposals, and signed by 36 banking representatives, including Lord Rothschild, Messrs. Baring Brothers, Lord Ave bury, Sir Felix Shuster, and ViscountrGoschen, was presented to the Premier on May 15th- last. As this petition has thus far remained without result, an other petition is being circulated for signature in which the House of Lords are asked not to accept the Finance Bill, until the nation feadobeen granted an opportunity of giving expression .tor: its ’approval or disapproval of the Bill. > ■
