BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC.
From the Recent Annual Gathering
Christian Scientists.

From the Recent Annual Gathering of
Christian Scientists.
ii Christian Science is really Of value to
mankind, like all other helps it ought to
Be introduced and correctly understood.
Its beneficial results should be manifested
to the public Nothing conld be truer
than Jesus words, "A tree is known BY
its fruits
The Christian Science movement Is now
thirty-five years old. 1t has been inyogue
long enough to indicate fits effects upon its
adherents. The calm elaboration, the
quiet, universal, brotherly love manifest
ed at the second annual meetings Of the
denomination show what has thus far
been effected and what may be expected
ia the future when Christian Science be-
comes universal.
The annual meetings Of the Christian
Scientists have been Of great benefit to the
Scientists themselves They have had an
opportunity to bring together the fruits Of
their past experiences and the mutual ex-
change Of these have been truly helpful to
all. It extends the aequaintanceship of
the members one with the other, and en-
larges and intensifies the brotherhood of
the movement, but this is the smallest
part OF the advantages accruing therefrom.
BY these conventions the public is afford
ed an opportunity to witness representa-
tive body of Christian Scientists, and to
note the health, harmony, happiness and
freedom from materially which the Sei-
ence develops.
We are living in an age when the gene

but what is it accomplishing for your
A religion, doctrine, creed or philosophy
is beneficial only in proportion to its alle-
waiting, regeDerating and spirltualizlng
effects. Every belief which tends to inn
prove character and conditions may be
said TO have some good in 1t. That
particular teaching which renders possible
the most rapid progress, morally and
mentally, should be credited with being
the best
The ideal Of Christian Science is per-
feet, namely, the perfect man Science
teaches that God is love, truth, Infinite
personality, who Is properly termed our
heavenly Father 1t teaches that man IN
his normal, God-made condition is the
image and likeness Of the infinite Spirit,
and that mankind must work out his sal
walton BY having true conception Of
ideal manhood and deporting himself ac-
cordingly, even to the extent that he
becomes fully awake ia the image and
likeness Of God, having put off the old
man with his deeds and having put on
the new man which is renewed in know
ledge after the image Of Him that created
him. Alfred FaTlow in Boston Times

This about the summer time-just let the
thunder roll!
It's good to just be living, with the glory

The light is shining bright,
And the stars are out at night,
And the rivers are a-ripple through the
valleys Of delight
This about the summer time--the green in
all the trees,
The shadows Of the branches. the drowsy
hum OF bees,
The cool ana dreamy dels
Where the cattle shake their bells
And the quiet Of the twilight when the
day signs sweet farewellsl
Far sweeter is the summer time than

For not vale or meadow but Is beautiful

The glory Of the light

And the singing Of the hooking birds ~

that a number of Negroes participated

Der of their own or any one else's fam

that there will be no further work for

A Dog Gone Dog Case.

Among the cases that have
been docketed for the February,
1904, term of the Charlton cir.
cult court at Salisbury is a dog
case growing out of the killing
of shepherd dog belonging to
M. G. Colyer by Melvin Gray.
Colyer brought suit against
Gray for 500 in Justice z. G.
Morris court in Clark township,
alleging that the dog Gray killed
was very valuable one and was
worth the amount for which suit
was instituted.
The case was tried by a jury
in Justice Morris court, who re-
turned a verdict for Colyer for
So.
Feeling that he had lost S92
worth of dog by the decision of
the jury, Colyer appealed to the
circuit court in the hope of OBJ
tanning judgment for more mon
ey in the high tribunal.
The costs in the case up to the
time of the appeal amounted to
S42. Is.
Who knows but what this dog
gone dog case may become a
rival of the celebrated Massen-
gale Rice steer case, in which
the costs are now something like,

The bazar, dinner and supper
given by the Ladies' Aid society

was a decided success, both
from a social and financial stand
point, andithat, too, despite the
disagreeable and threatening
weather. The ladies have every
reason to congratulate them :
selves. The varions pieces of
fancy work were creditable to
those who made them, and were
well worth the price at which
they were sold. The dinner and
supper were all that could be
desired and would have been
cheap at twice the price. The
two cook stoves, one contributed
by Bridge, Beach & Co. of st.

and most sought for articles on
