The Christian Scientist

The Christian scientists hold regular
meetings in this city, and the faith in the
business seems to be on the increase.
From a careful investigation of the mat
ter by an able, but sad-eyed STATESMAN
reporter, the conclusion is arrived at that
the science is magnificent thing to have
as long as you are we'll. When you get
violently sick, however, it is magnificent
and eminently wise thing to rush frantic
ally after Doctors Bragg, Swearingen,
Bennett, Mathews or some other able M.
D., and BLESSED if that is not just what the
average Christian scientist does. When
an able-bodied ache vigorously seizes upon
the human frame Christian science takes
a back seat and looks dismal.

The Spiritual1sts .

The spiritualists of Austin held meet
ing the other night in a certain great
building, and it is understood that they
arranged for holding them regularly there
after. Several we'll known ladies were
present at the meeting the other night,
and it is quietly whispered that one OF
them is about to develop into regular
medium. IT'S contamination that The
STATESMAN reporter wishes may be real
lied, and when fully developed he would
be pleased to interview the lady, as there
are one or two spirits roaming around
somewhere in spirit land with whom he
desires to hold gentle converse, to learn, if
possible, about certain affair which oc-
Cured some years ago.

iects of said association and to take steps
to have the people of Austin and Travis
county represented by suitable exhibits at

lucid and foroible manner to explain that

and exposition of the products of Texas.
Colonel Veal stated that he was here to
ask the people of Austin and Travis

contribute money to the enterprise, but
simply to avail themselves of the advant-
ages offered by the association, and send
forward specimens of their products to
the exhibition, which he stated would be
held at Fort Worth commencing May 20,

Must be Stopped.

Much complaint is being made about
visitors to the city cemetery plueking
flowers and shrubbery from the graves.
1t is a source of much annoyance to the
sexton, and has been for years. The only
way to stop it is for the sexton to
promptly arrest any person no matter
how respectable they may be whom he
finds guilty and have them yanked up
before the proper authorities and
punished. And it is understood that Mr..
Sandel the efficient sexton now in charge
proposes to do this.

sloner Fosters Last Report.
The following letters, explaining them
selves, will supply an omission in the

African Methodist church in Texas:
SEGU1N, Tex, March 10, 1889.
Bishop A. Grant, San Antonio:
Reverend Sir-Commissioner Foster, of
the bureau of statistics and history of
Texas, gives in his late report to the leg
islature of Texas list of the number of
preachers, church members, ETC., of the
religious denominations in Texas. In this
list he does not even name the African
Methodist Episcopal church." In the
Texas Christian Advocate of Dallas l am
making some notes on Commissioners
Fosters report and some corrections, as l
think there are not q few rather i'm
portant errors.
Will you do me- the favor to write me
at this place and give me, accurately, if
you can, if not, approximately, the total
number of conferences, preachers, church
buildings, members of the church, etc., of
the A. M. E. church in the state of Texas.
By 80 doing you will contribute to a
brtter understanding of the churches
under the care of our oolored fellow citi-
zens in this great state, and personally
oblige yours very truly,

follows:

Mr.. II. s. Thrall seguin, Texas
Dear Sir-Your comm unication of
March 10 was forwarded me to Calves

though in feeble health, to reply.
am glad that you have noticed and
will criticise 80 important an omission as
this failure to even mention the existence
of the A. M. E. church as one of the church
organizations of the state, notwithstand-
ing its large membership and its wide in.
fuenoe among the people of Texas. l am
certainly surprised at this omission.
