publishing house. 95 Falmouth street,
Boston, Mass. From this publishing
house it issues a monthly organ known
rs the Christian Science Journal. which
stands In tho foremost rank of tho rclig-
ious journals of the hour. Tracts and
other publications are also issued by the
Society. "Ihs First Church of Christ,

Church OF the denomination. All other
churches are branches Of this church, con-
gregational in government and individual
and independent in the conduct OF their
own affairs. yet all accept tho tenets OF
the Mother Church. and are absolutely
one with it in teaching and procedure
The relation of the branch churches to
the Mother Church closely resem bles that
of the states of tho Union to the general
government. A remarkable sysem OF
democracy in church government has
been thus instituted by Mrs. Eddy. and
because OF the scientific unity existing
among the adhercnts of Christian Science
there is unique and remarkable unity
in oil ways.
In this review OF tho Movement. In
the brief sketch OF its Founder, and in
the deductions of the scientists, physicians
and thinkers will be seen the evidences OF
a common need, the need OF deinonstra-
bio religion. Divine Science. and q higher
system Of mental therapeutics. Christian
Science stands upon the theshold Of the
hour bearing the torch or progress,
liberty. health. holiness, and universal
sal vation to race In the words OF a
physician who has recently become an
active adherent, "As the morning sun
lights up the mountain tops before tho
lower hills and plains aver feel it's reful
gent rays. so these truths were first got by
the spiritual heights OF a rare nature, but
the lower hills and valleys aro now feel
ing the benelcent influence of the rays
which first lighted the Rev. Mary Baker
Eddy and l do not feel like disputing the
profoundest telief of Christian Scientist
that it will yet illumine the entire human
race"
Great truths are dearly bought. The COM
mon Truth.
Such as men give and take from day to day,
Comes in the common walk Of easy life
Blown by the careless wind across our way.

was said to be the first time that the matter
was ever called to public attention in this
way. He said that Oriental rugs, as a rule
are specimens of art, and he exhibited
several specimens to accentuate his meaning.
The skill of the weaver should receive a
measure of the consideration bestowed on
beautiful pictures or other art works that
provide so much to crafty the finer taste. He

ago James butcher, prosperous far
mer, left his home south OF this city
very suddenly, and nothing was heard
from him until six months later, when
he was reported to have been killed in
a wreck at Crestline, O., on the Big
Four. A man claiming to have known
him identified the remains as butcher,
and they were deposited as such in one
of Crawford countys cemeteries. Years
went along, and yesterday James
butcher, the ..dead man, " walked intO
the home of his sister, Mrs. Reuben
