pie he met. and praise and commen-
dation for their religion and their
services. 1t isn't so many years
since any person who espoused the
Christian Science cult was looked up,
on with something like unto dread
and fear. People considered the Or
%ganization N of hypnotists and peo-
pie working under strained condi-
tions of the mind. But gradually
this feeling has disappeared with
the growth Of the cult and the in
vestigation of the people. Christian
Science is no longer looked upon as
something to be despised, but rather
to be appreciated the more as it is
understood.
The words of praise which Rev.
John Whitford has for the organiza-
tion attract all the more attention
coming as they do from one who has
been educated in the Methodist
church and whose heart has been
wrapped up in his church work. His
views have always been liberal, and
his remarks on the status of Chris
tan Science in Denver are therefore
attracting more than ordinary no.

Col. Baker proclaimed that Pierre

were approached, and they both pro-

colonel looked surprised and conclud-

EDITORIAL From Mining Gazette.

The following is an editorial i'm the
Mining Gazette:
in this present day when there are
creeds innumerable and when relig-
ious teachings are at variance on so
many points Of apparent vital inter-
est. it is surprising what a number
of people there are who are gradual
ly getting away from church regula-
tions and are breaking the strings
that formerly tied them to this or
that particular church organization.
At the same time it is evident that
there are a good many people who
are now believing that their religion
is c%heerfulness Of disposition and
happiness Of heart. There are some
who say that they pay nc attention
whatever to dogma or to creed, but
who devote their lives to the search
for the true happiness. and who
make a joyful ~countenance Of all i'm
portance TO their religious and work.

Yesterday the Mining Gazette pub
lished a letter from a Methodist
minister who was formerly located
in the copper country, and who has
a wide circle OF friends and acquain-
tances in the copper country. The
minister told Of his experiences with
the Christian Science folks Of Den
yer, and the letter was a revelation
of tie status of the science organi-
zation in Denver. The comments Of
the Methodist minister on the on

it must be remembered that it is not
the intrinsic harmfulness only that
makes amusement worldly, but the
fact that even innocent recreation
may be permitted to supplant the love
ana service of God Most often, it is
not so much the amusement as it is
the person that is worldly.
And further, since the most attIac-
tive, and not the least attractive
amuusements are most likely to sup
plant God in the affections, common
sense says that in the nature of things
the most popular amusements are
most likely to intrude on Gods
superlative claims. As case in point
we know that base ball, "a harmless
and healthful recreation sometimes
boldly lays claim to Gods holy day,
which is to be scantifed in memory
of Christs resurrection.
And as a matter of common obsei-
walton, where popular amusements are
much in vogue, there, with some
honorable exceptions, men and women
are most negligent of the calims of
God

"Ever-man, the young man, the dirt
man." is one OF the best hustling real
estate agents in the State. He does not
believe in letting the sun go down
with nothing accomplished and every
day great deal OF property changes
hands through his agency. If a house
and lot listed with him are saleabl ,
he is not long in finding q purchaser.
1t is the same with houses placed in his
hands for rent. Houses for rent are
hard to find in Greenville but Mr..
Everman rarely ever fails to supply a
house or rent one for his customers.
He always has a catchy ad in each Is
sue of the Times and the homeseeker

Thunder peals the loudest,
