CARDS IT as dangerous delusion. so
far from being form of Christianity, 1t
is, in his Judgment blasphemy against
God the Father, in denying his person.
atty; against God. the Son. in denying
his divinity and the reality Of his atone
ment for sin. and against the Holy
Ghost, in asserting that Christian Sci
ence itself is the Spirit Of God. There
are undoubtedly Christian people in the
circle of the Christian Scientists. but
they labor. he says, under delusion OF
the most dangerous sort, and as to their
leaders, they are deliberate enemies OF
true religion and wilful deceivers Of
those who follow them.
Its Wonderful Growth.
The growth of Christian Science has
been marvellous, the more because Its
followers have been drawn from the
rich and comfortable classes. 1t was
founded by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy In
Boston in 1866, but 1t did not begin to
attract general attention until 1890 and
the beginning of the erection of the
splendid temples found in the large
cities was undertaken within the past
five years. In New York City alone
there are three churches completed or
on the way to 1.-THE aggregate value
of which Is $1,5OO,OOO. The First Church
cost 100000 and the Second $o5O.OOO.
Both are paid for. In addition there
are six more societies In Greater New
York In Boston, the mother church.
built at a cost of $5OO,OOO and dedicated
in 1894, has the greatest number of
members of any church in the world
1880, of whom 1000 were added last
year. Chicago has three handsome
churches erected within four years.
Tennesseeans take to 1t strongly, espe-
cially in Memphis. where two flourish
ing churches have been established
within two years with 1.50O followers.
Philadelphia has four churches and
l 600 believers. Buffalo Is stronghold
of the cult and Denver is preparing
temple to cost $25O,0OO to further Its
principles. Boston. however. Is the
leader in winning followers. From %
members in 1889 the church there has
now membership of more than 10000.
Altogether In America the Scientists
have 623 church societies, with men,
bership of 100000. and with churches
to the value Of $l2,OOO,OOO.
Abroad the cult Is taking wonderful
", especially in Great Britain. London
has a f10urishing church, as have Dub
lin, Liverpool, Manchester. Birming-
ham and bennington. Among the En-
plish converts enumerated are the Earl
of Dunmore and the Earl Of Tanker
vile. Mrs. Henry Montague Butler,
wife of the master of Trinity College.
Cambridge. and Mrs. Charles Smith.
wife of the head master Of Sidney Sus-
sex College, Cambridge. 1t is said that
King Edward, while in no way waver-
ing in his allegiance to Anglicism. Is
we'll disposed toward Christian Science.
The churches. or temples. are open
every day, and in some Of their features
and appointments are suggestive Of
club houses rather than places Of wor-
ship. This has done much to popular
ize the institution. especially In large
cities, and to wean away members Of
other Christian denominations.

Galveston, Texas, July 23,-The Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad company
has announced the intention of adopting
the use OF oil On all branches of their
system south of Cleburne. Fifty men are
now employed at Sc crvile building tanks
for the storage Of ae oil with which to
supply the locomotives. Two tanks are be
ing constructed at this place with a capac-
ity OF $1,000 gallons each. AS soon as these
have been completed other tanks will be
constructed at Brentwood, Temple, Alvin
and Ceburne. In addition to the locom0-
tive now equipped and being operated by
the use of oil for fuel FIVE more are now
equipped with oil burning apparatus and
are awaiting the completion OF the storage
tanks before they are placed In the service.
Other locomotives will be transformed into
oil burners as rapidly as the work can be
accomplished without taking too many Of
the locomotives III OF the service AT IN
time. This will continue until all Of re
locomotives south OF Cleburne have beel
changcd into oil burners.
Some of the locomotive tiremen have BEEN
uneasy lest the adoption of oil as feel
would do away With the necessity fn:
