A WOMAN THE FOUNDER.

Remarkable Growth of the Christian Eci-
ence Movement.
The first Christian science church in
New York city was Incorporated in 1888
and is known as the First Church Of
Christ, Scientist Rev. Augusta E. Stet-
son, c. S. D., was made pastor of this
church in 1883, though her ordina,
tion took place in 1890. From 1883 to
1895 Mrs. Stetson was the regular pas
tor and preacher for the society. The
first meeting of the society was held in
the hall of the Columbia institute in
1857; in 1883 it moved to the hall on
Fifth avenue, opposite the Windsor
hotel, and later the same year to Hard
man hall, corner of Nineteenth street
and Fifth avenue, where it remained till
1894.
Outgrowing Hardman hall, Scottish
Rite hall, church edifce, on Madison
avenue, was leased for Sundays
throughout the year, and here the
church now worships. In 1890 Mr..
Carol Norton was made assistant pas
tor. In 1895 the new order of services
instituted by the dIscoverer and
founder of Christian science, Rev. Mary
Baker Eddy, was begun in the 800 Chris
tian science congregations of the
United States and Canada.
The sermons consist of references
from two books on a given text from the
Bible read by two readers, known as
first and second reader. Rev. Augusta
E. Stetson, c. S. D., with the new order
OF 1895, became first reader of this
church, and Mr.. Carol Norton, c. S. D.,
second reader. The growth of the so
ciety from the first has been sure and
marked. It's congregation consists OF
men and women of thought, refinement
and Christian character. who are living
evidences of the power Of Christian
science to heal disease, as most of them
have been healed of all manner of dis
eases by its teachings.
From the first Rev. Augusta E. Stet-
son has been an indefatigable worker
for the cause of Christian science, and
for the interests of this church in New
York city. Since 1890 Mr.. Norton has
devoted his entire time to the work of
the society, and with a sincere and
active body of people in the church to
cooperate with them, the society has
purchased the lot of land on West Forty
eighth street, so by 100, and the church
edifice thereon, formerly occupied by
the Protestant Episcopal congregation
of Rev. DIR. r. Heber Newton.
It is the intention of the society to
refurnish the church for temporary
home until the completion of its new
edifice further uptown. The growing
influence of Christian science is to be
seen in the erection of fine church edi-
fees in all the large cities. The most
beautiful structure of the denomina-
ton is that of the mother church in
Boston, Mass, erected at a cost of $780,
600 as testimonial OF gratitude by
the whole body to Rev. Mary Baker
Eddy. The practical reform work and
the widespread restoration of primi-
tive Christian healing in Christian
science has thoroughly established it.
and it is now recognized by hundreds

something. The isolated condition of

They turned out of the road, and still
get out of the wagon, after a word with
her father. In both faces was a LOOK
CT sorrow and shock, and she sprang to
her feet as her friend came into the
kitchen.
''Oh, Sally, Sally" said Cynthia,
''Isaac got awfully hurt this after
noon. He fell from the house frame, and
the doctor can't tell yet whether there
is much chance for him. They stopped
us as we came by, ard they've got him
in little shed until he can be moved
to our house-he's got nowhere else ~

he had got to speak to me, and when l
got to him all he could whisper was
that 1 must come and tell you, and l
said 1 would. He didn't ask you to
come, only to let you know
The two friends faced each other.
Sally looked gray and old and stern,
but Cynthia had come to an end of her
self-controi and began to cry. What
will poor mother say?" her voice
faltered. ''She thinks everything Of

All the color rushed back to Sally's
face, and lovely self-forgetfulness

right home as fast as you can" she
said I'm going to ask your father to
take me right down to Isaac's place.
Tell your mother I'll take care of him.
I'm going to Isaac now just as fast As
l can"
Later still in the twilight, Sally
Martin found her way among the new
timbers of Isaac's house to the little
tool-shed where he lay. Most of the
neighbors had gone. The doctor was
still there, and he spoke cheerfuliy as
she came near.
NO, there are no bones broken after
all. twas only the breath knocked out
of him." said the doctor. You'll be
laid up awhile, but I believe you'll dc
well. Isaac. Now who is there to leave
him with? must be off and it's going
to be a damp spring night: he mustn't
stay here any longer. Move him care

Bascom, who loved Isaac like q son.

wagon, you know"
As for Sally, she had gone straight
to her lovers side-where he lay weak
and pale on the pile of coats and shaw
ings; she was kneeling by him with a
sweet and quiet face. and Isaac's hand
was fast in hers Somehow their hap
piness seemed all the lovelier because
it had come at last in the spring.

H,NDoo SERVANTS.

Must Be Handled Roughly. ~ They DONE
Appreciate Kindness
To-day the Hindoo servant is lazy.
good-for-nothing thief, and viii tell
you how to handle him." said the gem
eral traffic manager of the Southern
India railway in his Office at Madras.
India, to an Enquirer representative
who was in the orient several months
ago and has just returned to this city.
Continuing, he said: 81 have seen q
good deal Of change in the country dur
ing my so years residence here, and one
of the most remarkable changes has
been in the treatment of servants. A
few years ago in the good, old days OF
tie Madras presidency, il servant
tiisobeyed his master he would have
been strung up and whipped. II the
whipping caused death, a fine of seven
rupees ($1.75 in American money, ac-
cording to present value,) would have
been imposed.
IF, however, the servants master did
not care to run the risk Of having to
pay the fine, which was considered a
big sum for the life of Hind0o in those
days, all he had to do was to send the
offending servant with . note to tho
Police magistrate, and an Official whip
per would return with Sammy. Tho
whole appliances for whipping were
kept at the police department.. Sammy
would be made to carry his own whip
ping post. Flog him hard? / should
say they would. The general average
would be 30 lashes, and If the master
thought that the rascal was not pun

lashes. If the Hindoo died from the
effects of this punishment, why, there
was no fine to pay, md it was simply
good radiance of bad rubbish But
look at the condition of things now.
The rascally Hindoo will stand up and
sass you.
"You ask why. It is because the
Hindoo whipping post has been abol-
ished. At present the offending Him
doc is brought before rajah or judge
of his own race, and of course he will
not be severe on his countryman.
''The only way that these Hindoo serv-
ants can be made to obey is to beat and
kick them. You cannot show them
kindness or they at once put you down
as softie. Take my advice, as long AZ
you remain in India and your servants
are lax in their work, you just make
them acquainted with the toe of your
boot"
The old gentleman sighed as he re-
called the former manner of dealing
with servants. His tone of voice and
looks indicated that he would like It
reestablished. His advice was both
good and true, for Hindoo servants do
not appreciate kindness, and under
stand only kick when you desire them
to obey. A .'Sahib" (master) who will
not give his servant a kick or q slap
has no standing with the Hindoo. and
is counted by them as "a no-good
Sahib."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Sally Martin still sat by her window
in the late afternoon. She had taken
up her sewing again, but her eyes
looked as if she had been crying. Every
few minutes she glanced down the long
road to see Mr.. Bascom and Cynthia
when they came bach; that seemed the
only interest to which one might still
look forward At last the wagon came
IN sight and she wondered what the
father and mother would have to tell.
To her surprise they passed their own
lanes end and came on up the hill, driv-
ing fast. Cynthia would not take time
just row to come past the house unless
for something important-she was late
a.ready-and Sally's heart was file.

cheeks were Little flushed. II nehp6
ever SO many robins this morning." she
said, as if she were afraid OF the silence,
and her hostess nodded.
IF it keeps to this weather we shall
have the golden robins comm right
along. I do long to get them here in
the spring. Then really feel as if the
winters gone for good"
sally rose to go after little while, in
spite of kind protestations from Mrs.
Bascom. They both longed to say
something more, but neither ventured.
Sally, who had grown prim and I'M
demonstrative with every year, came
back after her hand was on the door
latch, and kissed Mrs. Bascom affec-
tionately.
There, there, Sally!" said the old
woman, affectionately. Don't get
worked up! I only want you to think
over things before it's too late. I
expect you an Isaac1l be happy yet,
but don't push him away too far; he'f
got pride too"
AS Sally Martin went up the road she
wished that she were still sitting with
her old neighbor. For almost the first
time there was something lonely-look-
ing and repellent, something cold and
heartless about her own little house
as she unlocked the door and went in.
She missed the motherliness she had
just left, and the sun no longer shone
into her own kitchen. She sat down
without taking off her shawl.
After all it was too late now to
change her manners to Isaac Bolton OF
to let him know that her love had al
ways been his. Everybody had
spoken of his approaching marriage,
and the new house was the surest
proof. Mrs. Bascom had treated the
story lightly, but perhaps she did not
know, or had not been told, because she
was certain not to approve. Sally
knew that her old neighbor had always
been her friend. A crisis seemed to have
come into her quiet life. Isaac Bolton
had been an orphan boy brought up
by his uncle and aunt; besides the tract
of fine valley land joining the Bascom
farm, on which he was putting the new
house, he had a good property in mon
ey. Sally knew that he would have
stayed on with the Bascoms and been
great help to them if the neighbor-
hood to herself had not grown so diff
ficult and unpleasant. Since then he
must often have felt homeless. For
herself, too, not far beyond 80, strong
and fond of hard work, it was poor
sort of life to live on year after year
in her little house, pinching out a liv-
ing from a bit of ledgy land and the
tiniest of incomes. Isaac was largo
hearted and manly, though quick-tem-
pered enough. as sh. had known. She
saw things differently now, the old
habits of her mind, the self-pity that
mad chung SO long to a grievance had
worn themselves away and left only re-
greet behind on that spring afternoon.
It was too late now, she could not do
anything, she had lost all right to the
man whom she loved and who had SO
long loved her. She remembered, as she
had so many times before, that when she
saw him last his coat needed mending.
and that he had grown to look older
md even a little gray. She remesn-
bered now the sweet, wistful look in
his eyes, and how quickly they had
clouded over when she with beating
heart had treated him so coldly.

proved to be sucn a mistake. and sighed:

1t was very still IN the wide kitchen;
one of the windows ~as op-E and the
bfueDirds were chrrping in the orchard.
There was PARKWAY sound of frogs.

been asleep on cushioned chair came
across the floor gaping, and when she

her a little and laughed at the loud
