IL Christian Science a Mind Gu

Is Christian Science Mind CureP
The organization in this place of a
Christian Science Workers Society, Off.
cered by several well known people, is
occasioning q good deal of enquiry and
comment. In view of known results
right here in Manchester, Christian Sci
ence cannot properly be called hum
bug, even If its advocates are unable to
Enthusiastically explain its remedial eff
fects.
The human body is o good deal more
than mere clay, and its relations to
mind are by no means fully under
stood. 1t is we'll known that the mag
inatiop, when morbid and abnormal,
reacts upon the body as surely as bad
food or unsanitary surroundings, but
does the power of the Imagination end
there? or is it possible that many hu
man ills originatein apparently healthy
minds?
Mind disease may not always mani
fest itselfin mental disorder, or loss of
mental powers. The mind disease spec
ialist knows that he is dealing with a
very insiduous malady, and while he
will recognize the effects upon the
mind of certain mental and bodily all
ments, as readily as he would broken
limb. it is not probable that he would
80 much as suspect that certain diseases
of the body had their origin in the inn
agination Of person of apparently
healthy mind. Yet this may. be the
fact, and the Christian Scientist by in
huencing the Imagination may be deal
ing with the seat of the trouble ant
may be able to secure results in certain
cases after ordinary medical treatmen
has wholly failed.
4 We do not want to be understood a
saying that there are mind complaint
unknown to the medical profession
which cause diseases of the body, an,
that such diseases will disappear unde
the influence of the Imagination. w
simply suggest that such q thing nigh
be possible.

Mr.. Olney, who was Secretary of

Cleveland cabinet, has written long

the election of Mr.. Bryan this year.
Among other things he says that the

Here are few of the reasons given
by the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee why the "plain people" are not
inclined to meekly accept the inspired
statements of the trust organs and
speakers showing what a natural, neces-
sary and beneficent institution the
trust is:
1t requires so percent more wheat to
buy stove than it did in 1896. 1t re-
quires 20 bushels more corn to buy al
wagon than 1t did in 1886. 1t requires
100 per cent more corn or wheat to buy
a copper Kettle than in 1896. Itrequires
twice as much corn to buy coil of
rope as in 1893. 1t requires 40 per cent
more grain to buy pillow than in 1895.
1t requires Is per cent more grain to
buy hoe, rake or shovel than in
1886. A set of common wheels that
cost 81 in 1896 now cost $12. The price
of cultivators and other farm nipple,
ments have gone up proportionately.
Galvanized barbed wire costs from 81
to $3.50 more than in 1895. 1t requires
40 per cent more corn or cotton to buy
apound OF sugar than in 1896. You
have to pay 40 per cent more for glass
than in 1896. Freight rates have climb
ed back to the exorbitant prices
which caused popular revolt in legis
lation few years ago. The prices o.
oil, coal, lumber, tools and hardware
have gone up from 40 to 100 per cent
And all these things have been done by
the trusts. A trust robs you waking o.
sleeping, eating or drinking, working
or playing, living or dying, and thu
coffin trust gets you in the end.

Depth of Cyclones.

From the study of clouds Professor
F. 81. Bigelow Of the United States
weather bureau concludes that the or
dinary cyclones which traverse our
country from west to east are not more
than two or three miles in depth, al
though their diameter is many hun
dreds Of miles. In other words, their
motion does not affect the upper re-
gions Of the atmosphere. In the case
Of hurricanes Professor Begelow finds
that the depth is greater, amounting to
as much as five or six miles. But high
er currents blow directly across the
cyclonic and anticyclonic areas which
produce storms and fair weather at the
surface Of the earth. Some Of Pro-
fessor Bigelow's conclusions upset for
mer ideas concerning the circulation Of
the atmosphere.

man had grown to have a great liking
for Faiths company.
"It seems like a short time, Mr..
Kirk, but | love Faith, and l want
your consent to be her suitor."

worth more to you," said Malcom Kirk,
with fash of his old wit, which had
not the slightest approach to levity.
But he had grown to love Malcolm
Stanley and felt sure, from indica-
ticns, that Faith was not far from the
same feeling.

her away from her plans or her pro-
fession. Indeed. if win her heart,
we will accomplish more together than

and he added with smile, "My dear
fellow, ! hope you realize what 1t
means to have hired girl problem to
take care Of"
Il will gladly assume that" said
Stanley, and he went back to his sol
itary work in New Mexico with great
enthusiasm. 1t seems entirely possible
that he even found courage to say
something to Faith before he went, for
Faith and Dorothy had a confidence
talk that evening, and Dorothy had
tears on her face when 1t was ended,

letter with queer postmark comes

When Stanley and Faith had gone at
the close of that week, Malcom went
over to the church one evening to get
his Bible, which he had left on the
pulpit. The new church was lighted
with electricity, and Malcom turned on
the light near the desk, and after find

they looked out into the dimly lighted
church together. The battle in Conrad
was still going in. There was still the
rum power to meet in one form and
another; there were still ugly forms Of
evil. selfishness in many shapes, to face,
but God had gloriously used these two
disciples for the building of his king
dom on the earth. Their children also
were going out to fight the same good
fight Of the faith, to battle for the
right, to relieve distress and overcome
the world. 1t seemed almost certain
that as they stood there an angel of
light noted their lives and breathed
over the town a benediction of peace,
and Malcom and Dorothy passed out
Of the church and into their home with
Gods blessing in their hearts. 1t was
not by any chance that Malcom chose
