The CHRISTMAS RUSH.

The Christmas rush is on with a
vengeance this last week before Christ
mas. For the past two weeks the ante
Christmas trade has been gathering
force and it will eliminate on Saturday
night. The big stores will keep open
every night, as they have done dur
ing previous seasons.
The rush at the money order depart
ment of the post Office began days ago,
and the clerks report a very heavy in
crease in the business being done in
that department. Many thousands of
dollars are sent every year to the old
country and largely by wage earners
who have left their homes in England,
Ireland, Germany and France and
Sweden to cast their lot in this country.
The express companies have been do
ing an unusually heavy business and
extra wagons viii be put on in the next
few days to accommodate the business.
The big stores have, made their usual,
or rather an unusual display in the
windows, and every place in the city
where Christmas goods are on sale is
holding out special attractions for the
buyers.

full Of stories as an egg is
of meat, and best of all, he is able
to tell one on any subject mentioned
He has been on the stage a number of
years and has met all sorts of people,
and yesterday he told this tale of the
old Bowery theatre New York, of 80
years ago. One of the favorites there
at that time was Edward E. Eddy, a
good fellow but very much addicted to
drink. One of his successes was in a
piece called "Pizarro the Peruvian
Chief, just the sort of play to please
the patrons of the house, full of death
and blood and hairbreadth escapes, and
Eddy played the hero role. In the third
act he had a scene in which he had to
hold child at arms length above his
head, while attempting to cross a bridge
and to hurl defiance at his enemies in
these words: Whoever dares to follow
me, dies on the spot" This was the cue
for the bridge TO fall, leaving the hero
free on the other side, and it never
failed 70 arouse applause.
One Christmas, however, Eddy drank
little more than usual, and the re-
suit was that he was sent to the hos
pital with a bad case of delirium ire
mems. When he had recovered and
had gone back to his old place at the
theatre, the mother of the child re-

ager did the only thing he could think
of. He sent around to P. T. Barnums
Ann street museum, and borrowed
dwarf. The new baby was A years
old, but he exactly fitted the clothes
left by his predecessor, and Eddy ney-
er knew the difference. When the third
act came he snatched up the supposed
child by the strap around it's waist,
and leaped upon the bridge with the
words, Whoever dares to follow me.
dies on the spot; when the child said
in a deep bass voice,
For heavens sake, don't drop me-"
Eddy turned white all over and
looking up at the child, threw it from
him and cried:
Have I got 'em again?" and imme-
diately tainted. The dwarf recovered in
about two weeks.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1893.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Prominent cases in which Christian
Science plays leading part are con-
stantly being brought to the attention
of the public, as is instanced in the
death of Joseph Gates of this city,
Wednesday. The wide dissemination of
these stories will tend to weaken the
faith of those who have espoused the
cause of this latter-day religious and
physical belief
In one of the local county towns a
little Christian Science community is
perpleXed over the question, Should a
wife obey her husband if he does not
believe in the creed?" In the case in
question the wife sued for a divorce,
claiming cruel and abusive treatment.
At the trial it was shown that the
trouble in the family began at the time
that the wife adopted the Christian
Science faith and refused to allow the
attendance of a regular physician when
one of the children was taken i'll. The
judge who tried the case refused to
grant the prayer for separate mainte-
nance and gave the custody of the
children into the keeping of the hus-
band. 1t is interesting to note that the
! larger part of the criticism and denun-
| citation of this belief which has gained
so much ground and won so many con-
verts in various parts of the country
has been through the medium of the
press, presumably because those who
are interested in the welfare of the
country realize that by that means a
| thousandfold more hearers can be
| reached than in any other way. Oc-
! casionally preacher of the gospel is
found who. is earnest and has the
stamina to boldly proclaim the falsity
of belief in Christian Science from the
pulpit.
1t is the duty of the Christian pastor
/ TO point out error and warn against it
Among the modern foes of Christianity
there is none more dangerous than So
calledChristianS Science, which comes un-
der the guise of good Samaritan with
a metaphysical remedy for disease in
one hand and a mild theosophy in the
Science processes to be a divine revela>
ton. Mrs Eddys method of interpret
ing scripture is fantastic. She denies
the personality of God. Christian
Science denies the need or the fact of
an atonement. 1t denies existence of sin
and the need of reconciliation with
God This is a poor substitute for the
exceeding sinfulness of sin. Such laxity
of doctrine may be taken by the evil
minded as an excuse for rushing into
sin.
With this moral crusade against the
Mormons and their belief, it would be
well to turn some of the attention to
the propounders of this newer faith
and take some action which shall set
them in different light. Religious
humbug ought not to be allowed to
thrive in New England at the end Of
the nineteenth century.

lines she will come forward and place
candle on each of the three points Of

wreath Of evergreen will be suspended
beneath the arch, on which each of the
children taking part in the exercise Will
hang a liver star as she finishes her
verse.

Christmas pies are a novelty to be
had of Worcester's leading caterer that
will prove lovely addition to any
Christmas table. They are really cir
cular boxes made in the shape of a
pie, but covered with crimson tissue or
white or Nile green or rose. At inter-
Vals around the top crust are placed
rosettes, to which are attached long
baby ribbons. Under the rosette in the
pie are little favors and when you pull
your ribbon, out they come, of course.
Sometimes the ends of the same rib
bon are fastened to two rosettes, and
are pulled a la Philippine. Perhaps
the best thing about the Christmas
pie-better even than it's surprises-is
it's beauty.
