and II you find IL is true, as more

Ii the religion OF this Christian
denomination, known as Christian
Scientist, Is healing the sick, purify
ing the sinner, destroying sin, making
men and women better, their lives
purer and happier, as I'VE who know
anything whatever about the subject,
know TO be the fact, IL Is surely worthy
OF the consideration and careful
attention OF any honest man or
woman.

congressman, a devoted Christian
Scientist, speaks OF the growth OF the

In Nashville, Tenn, found the
work In charge Of Mr., aud Mrs.

Another Surgical Triumph
They sawed OF his arms and his legs,
They took out his jugular vein;
They put fancy frills OF his lungs,
And they deftly extracted his brain.
Twas a triumph OF surgical skill,
Such as meyer was heard OF Till then;
Twas the subject OF lectures before
Conventions OF medical men,
The news OF this wonderful thing
Was heralded far and wide;
But as for the patient there's nothing
TO say,
Except, OF course, that he died.
Chicago Inter-O Ocean.
The Rev. j. s. Detweller not long
since preached a sermon on Divine
healing at the gospel witness, 1898
East Twelfth Street, New York City,
In which he said;
II want IL 70 be understood that l
have no theory OF my W to present,
and no experience either OF myself or
my family TO give. want simply 10
lay before you the evidence OF the
diYine word 10 this matter, and dis
cuss the topic / have taken up, from
a purely spiritual point OF view.
The solution OF this much-dlscussed
question for every believer should be
found in the teachings OF the bible.
Do you accept the gospel as set forth
10 the Old and New TestamentsY II
you do, then all argument eas with
you when you have familiarized your
self with your authority. The bible
answers every %perplexing question
that can come up In the affairs or a
human being during a lifetime,
and should be followed as explicitly
and as confidently as one would obey
The detailed instructions 10 a hand
book on some special trade"
