of God They Found j Crime Now on Trial at Stevens Church point of the audiences at a lecture in this city greeted Judge W G j Ewing at the opera house last jday evening when this distinguished representative of the Chicago bar or legal profession appeared to present to the people of Grand Rapids a clear statement of the character of Christian j Science His lecture was heard with profound interest and will undoubtedly result in renewed activity and growth of j the small society of scientists who have ready an organization in this city It em- I the fact that Christian Science is j religion not differing in its essential i ciples from all other forms of Christian beliefs but differing radically from thn demonstration and practice of those be- and the of the practice of this form of Christian re- ligion with other forms of the same re- i ligion has made a separate church essential To illustrate this difference in practice we quote from Judge Ewing touching this difference between Christian Scientists and other Christian Scientists have radically changed their thought of God They no longer attribute to God that no man among civilized people where could acknowledge in himself and not meet the ostracism he deserved We no longer indulge the belief that us sick or lame or blind for some mysterious purpose of His own It is not within the range of a reasonable concept of an infinitely just and good God that He would ately hold in torture and crush in despair a pure sweet mother for the purpose of making some bad man better Being infinitely just if He were administering punishment for reform and dispensing rewards for virtue He would crucify the bad man and enthrone the good woman We believe that God Is not only the embodiment of good but that He is good the Who heals all our Who gives surcease to sorrow Who literally wipes all tears away and we confidently go to this In- finite Source of life and strength and joy for redemption from every ill that comes to humanity It is not difficult I am sure to under- stand that one who believes that God makes him sick would hesitate to go to the provoking cause for relief from the ills he suffers If yon believe God fills your life with grief for some wise purpose believing in His goodness justice and power you should bear ever comes to you without a and should be reasonable and logical enough not to attempt to balk the purpose of the infinite God by seeking the service of some doctor druggist or climate to make you well If God makes you sick when His purpose in doing so is He will make you well again and your little children will tell you that until His purpose is no medicine of man can make von well DANIEL 0 i On Friday morning last Oct 28 Mrs Jennie Harronn of Arnott who is faniel Passed at j home ou Water street near the Green charged with the murder of her husband Walter Harroun last April placed on trial Stevens Point before Judge ings of Green Bay Tuesday ing Judge Webb

suddenly after a hearty supper and his relatives whose had been aroused secured a microscopical and chemical analysis of the man's stomach which revealed a heavy deposit of strychnine The prosecution by the presentation of voluminous evidence will endeavor to fasten the crime upon the wife The de- fense probably will attempt to show that Harroun died by accidental poisoning o committed suicide It
