The Christian Science movement in
ST. Paul, which now has two churches
and a large number of students, had it's
origin in st. Paul about ten years ago.
1t was known as the Christian Science
society at first, but in 1897 it became
the Christian science church, the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, then being
established.
1t held services in the Ryan Annex,
on Robert street. Later more comfort
able quarters were found in the Rau-
denbush hall, which at present affords
the church home for this branch. In
1901, believing that the prosperity of
the cause would be increased thereby,
a second church was incorporated,
known as Second Church of Christ,
Scientist, with a membership of TWEEN
~, and the church property at Holly
avenue and st. Adams street, known
as the Oxford M. E. church, was pur-
chased from the Goodyear Rubber COM
pany, into whose hads it had fallen
through foreclosure of a. mortgage, for
$4,000. The first payment of 1,500 was
made in September of that year, soon
after the church was organized.
This church now has a membership
OF thlrty-fve, and an average Sunday
attendance of about 125. That of First
church is considerably larger.
AS an auxiliary to the church work
each church has reading room, where
the Christian Science literature is fer
sale and where anyone desiring to
make inquiries about Christian Sci
ence may do so, and also read the lit

Thirteen Lepers Live in
the State Of Minnesota

Minnesota has within her borders
more lepers than any other state in the
| Union, according to the number of pop
ulation. That this should be SO, not
| withstanding the fact that Minnesota
is generally conceded to be the health
lest state in the Union, is not a matter
| Tor such great surprise When one con-
siders the number of immi grants who
have for years been peopling her fertile
prairies. -
In the days of old there were three
kinds of leprosy' acknowledged by the
physicians of that, time-the Elephan-
tiasisS Graecorum of the NorWegians:
the Leontiasfs of the ancient Greeks,
and the Zaraath OF the Jews. This dis
ease was unknown among the Hebrew
people before their Punishment into
Egypt, and had peen unknown in Pal
estine before the return of the chosen
PEOPLE there; SOFT is safe reasoning to
conclude that it was contracted by
them during their sojourn upon the
banks of the Nile. 1t is also now con-
ceded that it was from Palestine
brought to Greece by Jewish traders,
and that the leprosY of the two coun-
tries are Identical This was termed
Leontiasis by the Greeks because of the
Ieonine appearance given to the face
by the ravages of the disease.
The first traces Of this disease found
in Europe west Of Greece were discov-
cred in the eighth century, when the
returning crusaders brought it back
with them from the Holy Land. Today
it is found in plentyin Norway, Swe-
den and Denmark ia the north, and
along the shores of the Mediterranean
to the south. 1t is found in the West
Indies, in the islands OF the Pacific
ocean, in Madeira and in many parts
of South Americas in North America
it iszconfined to the following places,
given in the order as to It's prominence
Mexico,- British Columbia, California,
Minnesota, New Bruils wick and Louisi-
ana. Only two lazatettos are within
the borders of the American continent
both in Canada. One in New Bruins
wick and one in the Pacific ocean about
seven miles from The British Columbia
coast. "a
The first lazaretto to be established in
America was in New Brunswick; it is
situated on the island of Sheldrake in
