to Advertising.

We sometimes receive inquiries as to
the standing of persons who advertise
themselves in newspapers and maya
zines as Christian Science practitioners.
We answer these inquiries by saying
that Christian Scientists do not advertise
and it is safe to assume that the persons
who thus bring themselves to the atten-
ton OF the public are not i'm anyway
identified with our denomination nor
with its healing work. The following
reference TO the methods employed by
unauthorized persons who pose as
Christian Scientists, is copied from a
previous issue of the Sentinel:
ut is unnecessary for US to say that
methods of advertising akin to those Of
onack doctors and vendors of patent
nostrums are not ~counfenanced by
| Christian Scientists. On the contrary,
they are reprehended.
Christian Scientists have done all they
properly can do IN the way of adyertis
ing when they unobtrusively make
known the fact that they hold them
selves in readiness to respond to calls
for healing sick ness or otherwise aiding
those who desire such services as come
within their province or line of duty"
The above is as true today as when it
was written, and correctly sets forth the
attitude Of Christian Scientists as being
one of willingness and readiness to help
those who desire their ministrations,
rather than that of soliciting the atten.
ton and patronage of persons who may
be attracted by q skilfully worded adj
vertisement.
Christian Science healing is not a
thing Of barter and sale; it is a holy
ministry into which greed, selfshness,
and self-seeking cannot enter. The COM
mercialism that bids for patronage and
dollars Is inconsistent with the true
sense of Christ healing and must ulti-
mately prove to be q delusion to both
practitioner and patient. Christian
Scientists know that those who would
avail themselves of the healing power OF
Science must turn to it naturally and
without undue inf1u ence.
1t may be urged that unless Christian
Scientists advertise the public will not
know how nor where TO find a practition.
err, but this will not suffice as an excuse
for adopting methods not in keeping
it'll the proper reserve and dignity
which BELTS the high calling of oul
ministry. Those who are ready fol
Christian Science will experience nc
difficulty in finding help and healing
There are but few communities in which
some beneficiary of Christian Science
cannot be found. The churches of the
denomination are manv, the free read
ing rooms maintained by the churches
are easily accessible, and a comprehen
sive directory of practitioners publish
ed in the official organs of the denomi
nations. Nj.

Opinions That Have Weight.

The Daily Register and Leader, Des
Moines, Iowa, Of November 18th, 1903,
SAYS: "a Runaway Match" a farce with
specially interpretations was put on at
the Grand last night, with Clint and
Bessie Robbins as the chief fun makers
and ~vaudevillians. These two will be
remembered by patrons of the Grand
through their connection with the Chase
Lister company earlier in the season. A
character actor of amusing caliber is Mr..
Robbins, and Bessie Robbins plays the
leading ingenue with ease and grace.
The new piece, which relates the trou
bles of an clipping couple is given with
plenty of life and dash, although the
principal interest centers upon the spec
ialties. Last nights audience was moved
to much hilarious merriment, and if APP
plaus counts for a plays success, "a Run
away Match" should live long and pros
