MEETING OF THE UNITED So
GETTY.
DETROIT (Mich.) July 5-The Off
GERS of the United Society of Christian
Endeavor met to-day at 1870 o'clock,
late in converting.
At IL o'clock DR.. Clark called the
meeting to order in the Hotel Cadillac
DIR. Clark addressed the members of
the legal organization in part as fol-
lows:
THE past year of Christian En-
deavor work has been year of re-
markable prosperity, year signally
marked by the favor of God. Chris
tian Endeavor has now SO largely oc-
cupied the field that the growth re-
corded in the early years of the move
ment cannot be expected. Nevertheless,
the growth has been very considerable.
and the adding of hundred thousand
to the ranks within the last twelve
months is no small addition.
II recently made a journey to the
West Indies, which was full of en-
couragement and hope l found in

the island of Jamaica very deep and
intelligent interest in the movement.
In Cuba. too, I found the beginnings OF
Christian Endeavor, and a very hope
full spirit and outlook for the future.
In other lands Christian Endeavor
seems to be obtaining constantly a
firmer foothold.
Our British fellow endeavorers are
looking forward with great anticipation
to next years exodus to London. In
Germany and France and Scandinavia
there has been a decided advance. In
Spain, in spite of the distraction OF
the war and the natural antipathy TO
things American, the societies have all
held their own, and have increased In
number. Russia, which a year ago
was the only country without Chris
tan Endeavor, has now been invaded
by the movement, and we hear OF our
society within the Cars household.
Our efforts in behalf of universal
peace and international arbitration
have been great success. 1t has re-
ceived the hearty approval Of many
of the greatest men in Europe as we'll
as America, and has called forth on
two or three occasions kilograms and
letters of appreciation and gratitude
from the American Peace Commls-
sioners at The Hague.
1.-The spirit of brotherhood, Of ma
tional and international fellowship OF
seeking for God, and not the things
that pertain to Office and station, Will,
1 believe, characterize this nineteenth
annual convention, and I pray God that
His spirit may pervade every future
gathering of Christian Endeavorers
and the whole movement in all its
phases and form of work the world
over"

Late yesterday afternoon the officers
recovered another lot of grain sacks,
LOCO in number, which had been sold
by Gestner and his partner to Chin
csc vegetable grower. They are new
sacks, without any mark on them. The
back yard of the old city bastile is
now filled up with sacks, and Chief
Dwyer is anxious to learn to whom
the additional 1000 sacks belong.
The arresting officers believe these
are the same parties who recently stole
some butt-chain harnesses and several
riding saddles.
Several weeks ago citizen living in
the vicinity of Thirty-first and +
streets found two sets of fine buggy
harness in the ditch on Thirty-first
street and turned them over to Officer

near there, hid them in the ditch.

THE LAW-AND A HIGHER LAW

families and business here. and visited
their ancestral homes in China. They
believed that the permission to 20 and
return was a contract which would not
be broken. II was a contract as bind

contract to pay the public debt.
This Republic made a contract OF an
nexation with the United States. Ow-
ing to haste in the transaction, and
lack of important knowledge. the act

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The English Parliament has voted
the sum Of $4,000 per year, for an
Agricultural Department for the West
Indies. Its objects are:
|. To supervise and extend the work
of the present botanic stations.
2. To start Industrial schools for
training boys in agricultural pursuits.
3. To encourage the theoretical land
to some slight extent the practicaD
teaching of agriculture in elementary
schools.
4. To promote the teaching of scien-
titic agriculture in colleges and schools.
5. To organize horticultural shows
and exhibitions of implements and ma
chinery suitable for cultivating and
curing tropical products.
8. To prepare bulletins, Leaflets. and
other literature on subjects suitable for
cultivation in the West Indies.
Congress will undoubtedly vote the
money for an Experimental Station
here. In the course OF time il will do
great good.
In the meantime, however, there is
no strong public sentiment in favor of
developing the smaller industries.
There is no desire to distribute the
commercial eggs in different baskets
or to divert some part OF the enor-
nous sugar dividends to industrial
hedging" The men who have ac-
quired large wealth, and should be
leaders in the broadening OF our in

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

The recent trials in the crimina
courts of persons charged with viola
ton OF law, by the practice of Chris
tan Science" again provokes discus
sion in the Press.
The Christian Scientists, even if theil
faith and practice is nonsense, as many
intelligent people say 1t is, are by nc
means entirely worsted in the argu-
ment. To the most of us this faith cure
seems TO be prepOsterous affair, be-
cause 1t runs contrary to our usages,
and habits of thought 1t indeed seems
ridiculous that a man or woman, with
out special knowledge, or calculation,
or insight. or genius cay rise up, and
wave OF in n moment, all that we
know about medical science.
AT the same time the prevailing ig-
norance of the mass of the people
about the care of the body, and the
treatment of disease is the opportunity
OF the Christian Scientists and OF all
the scores of people who discover and
guarantee methods of cure-but do not
cure.
When a man like Harold Frederic
dies through the malpractice, it is
charged, of one Of these Scientists,
there is much indignation, and a ella
NOR for just punishment OF the often
der.
The theory of punishment is, that no
one shall be permitted to treat sick
ness or disease unless he has n certain
amount OF knowledge which the COM
munity deems sufficient.
But the State is wholly inconsistent.
The following Is an advertisement in
one OF the religious journals, which
has an enormous circulation in the
States:
Consumption, Coughs, Catarrh. La
Grippe and Other Lung Troubles at
Last Annihilated. Medicine reduced TO
exact science by the worlds most IA
nous physician. Apply to DR.. Slocum's
Laboratory. Three bottles sent free"
The religious and many of the coun-
try secular newspapers are kept on
their feet by advertisements of this
kind. While there is a grain OF truth
In these statements so widely advertis-
ed, 1t Is safe to say that on the whole |
they are false, misleading, and do
frightful harm.

sons from their ignorance, in inviting

equally bound to save them from their

nostrums.
