the headquarters OF the disciples OF the
faith-cure doctrine in this city, mas lost
Temporarily one of its brightest teachers,
and that teacher is now the vile OF n
man whom she nursed back to llte IN

The lady was Miss Reynolds, the secre-
tsry of the local society OF the faith-cure

SIR. SENT was then physical wreck and
had been abandoned by doctors as IN

fed medical skill, and its character was
unknown. When he was told by pnysi-
clans that ne had hut few months 10
live Mr. SENT refused TO accept their
verdict. He did not believe much IN
faith-cures, but thought he might as wen
die while waiting on the Lord TO neal
him rs to die without giving the LORD
chance TO do so.
So he went to DR.. Simpsons school.
and there he met Miss Reynolds she
was assigned by the manager OF the
school to open the eyes OF the doubling
patient TO the gospel of Divine healing,
The lady went ut her task willingly, anu

beliefs of the Christian scientists; she
prayed for him and with him she had
him prav for himself; she nursed hun /;
she bnoyed him up in his sickness, and
she assisted greatly In bringing about
his complete recovery.
Then he couldn't help loving her.
When he asked her to share the life she

love him less, but she loved her mission
more. hen he said he would become
n Christian science teacher, too, and
they could work together III the good
cause.
He entered DIR. Simpsons school as a
pupil. and shortly after Miss Reynolds
came to this city and went to Bethany
Home as an assis mt TO Miss Mary Moor

school Mir. SENT became a Christian
Science evangelist. Re was OF good adj
dress and ready eloquence, and soon
gained prominence III the falth-cure
work. When he came to Pittsburgh
wear or so ago he was one OF the leaders
OF the movement.
During all this time he had not forgot
ten once TO send his regular weekly let
ter to Miss Reynolds, and she was not
slow in answering. After being in tins
city for some time Mr. SENT WAS called
East, where there was urgent need OF
his evan gelizing work. Before he left
Pittsburgh Miss Reynolds had pllghted
her troth to him. He promised to re-
turn soon and make her his bride, but
he was detained in New York by a com
bination of circumstances. He wrote
her that he could not come here on the
date set for the marriage, and requested
her to come to him.
She left here on Friday evening, and
on Saturday telegram from New York
to Bethany Home conveyed the greet
ings of Mr.. and Mrs. SENT. They will
spend their honeymoon in the East, and
at the same time will continue spreading
the light Of Christian science. Ultl-
mately they will return to this city and

both will comfort the afflicted with
words of cheer about the Divine Healer,
who even cures the wounds made by
naughty Cupid.
