children, whom she is raising in the
| Christian Science faith. Immediate
ly after her conversion she visited
a number of her neighbOrs who pro-

and asked them to meet once a week
at her home. The nearest Christian
| Science church to her residence is
four miles away, and she announced
to her friends that she intended act
| ing as a reader.
On April 2S the members of the
family living next door to Mrs.
James were surprised to see her
working with a spade in the back
yard of her home. When they ques-
toned her she announced that she
was going to build a church.
But it will cost more money than
you can spare, won't it?" she was
| asked.

I've got" was the response. Even
though it takes me all my life to
finish the church I will work on it
and die with a song of praise on my
lips. You may think am wild with

I was outdoors looking at the sky.
Suddenly there appeared a golden
rift in the armament. 1t was the
most gorgeous and beautiful color l
have ever beheld.
From this golden rift there came
a food of light and from that flood
there seemed TO proceed a voice Of
unusual clearness and depth, which
commanded me TO erect a church,
that my friends might congregate
with me and worship God.
when I awoke the following morn
ing the vision was still in my mind
as clear as daylight. / knew that

VOICE FROM HEAVEN.
It Commanded Mrs. Amanda ZONES
to Build a Church.
And on the Morning Following the
Strange Incident She Began Dig
ging the Foundation for the
New Sanctuary.

A woman is erecting a church in
Findlay, Ohio, for the Christian
Scientists. She is building it in the
back yard of her home. She says
that voice from Heaven commanded
her to do the work. The structure
will cost $500 and will have a seat
ing capacity of 100.
Mrs. Amanda James is the woman
who says she had the strange com
mand to erect a place of worship
for the Christian Scientists. She is
widow and is As years old. Some
, of her neighbors say she is eccentric
10 many of her actions.
In the work which she is now per-
fecting, however, the Christian Scien-
fists believe she has been inspired,
and unbounded interest is being
shown in her efforts. A number of
persons have offered to aid Mrs.
James financially in her undertaking,
but thus far she has rejected these
propositions, because she believes
| the Lord wants her to build the
church with her own labor and
money as an object lesson to the
/ world.
At daylight every morning Mrs.
James arises and bUsies herself at
her strange task. She employs three
men to assist her, but they are not
allowed to make any suggestions
concerning the construction Of the
church. She pays them the regular
union scale of wages for a days
work, but insists that they mix NOR
tar and lay stones exactly as she
dictates. If one of the wOrkmen
protests against her orders she warns
him that he is hired to do things
Just as she wants them done, and
that if he doesn't like her ideas he
might as well leave.
Several months ago, says the Chi
eago Inter Ocean, Mrs. James was
