WHAT IT HAS ACCOMPLISHED.

May tell you some things Christian Science
has accomplished in the fifteen years last past ?
1t has drawn TO its loyal support more than 5OO,-
900 adherents; has organized more than 400 con
gregations; has built during the last five years
many churches ranging in cost from 81 900 TO
devoted TO healing the sick it has restored to
health, happiness and hope more than 75O 600
Of your fellow men and mine, most OF whom
had hopelessly exhausted the remedies usually
known to medical learning. The membership Of
the Christian Science denomination has been
drawn from all the churches-Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish--and from all the respectable pro-
tessions and callings in life, There is not a re-
lgious denomination in the world that has in
its membership a larger percentage Of educated,
refined and cultured people than Christian Sci
entists have; and nowhere on earth, am sure,
and | say it not hoastingiy, but as a simple
statement of fact will you find people freer
from the cares and worries Of life, more con.
tented in their business and their homes, more
devoted to the duties of home, state and church,
prompter in dischargng their obligations to
neighbor and TO God, stricter morasts closer
observers of the prOprieties. more munihcent

with a ten-year-old boy from Mishawaka
in his custody. The boy said Rine had
induced him to start for Goshen with him,
on the promise of securing a good position
as telegraph messenger. Rine's irrational
claims as TO the number of men under his
employ as an electrician led the electric

boy and call the police TO arrest Rine
He proved to be the same man who met
nine-yesr-old Fay Morse in this city Sat
urday night and induced him to so to
Goshen without notifying his parents, who
were greatly alarmed over his disappear
ance. Rine brought the lad back to Elk

his own children and Is now searching for
them. In each case he treated the lads
well, buying them candy and similar treats
He proposed TO the Morse boy that he
called him Uncle Abe and the young
financier was accommodating a small fortune
with wonderful rapidity when the deal vas
called of. Rine probably will be taken
back TO Cunning. He is fifty years old.

Mrs. loves discourse on what she calls
"high-caste negroes is interesting,

argument is that as Mrs. Rufin Is a Gull
tured lady "she should put her talents and
her education TO good use as a colored
woman among colored women" We dare
say Mrs. Ruffin has TO a large extent
adopted this amiable suggestion, and. as
we understand il. Mrs. Ruffin appeared at

appreciate the subtle distinction advanced
by Mrs. Lowe, for IL seems TO us that the
presence of a cultured woman of education

OF her skin. could not detract from the
dignity of the Milwaukee convention. OF
