cowed him, and Walter profoundly ad-
mired his newly found cousin, who did
not hesitate to stand up to the despot.

Resolved, by the Horticultural So

pass law providing that it shall be
the duty of the school directors OF
each school district of the state to
prepare the ground suitably therefor
and plant on three sides, at least, OF
every school house IN this state
three rows of shade trees and proper.

shrubs; and always planting trees
and shrubs grown in the state Of
South Dakota.

make known the fact that they hold
themselves in readiness to respond
to calls for healing sickness or other.
wise aiding those who desire such
services as come within their prov
ince 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 de-
sire their ministrations, rather than
that Of soliciting the attention and
patronage of persons who may be at
tracted by skillfully worded adver.
tisement.
| Christian Science healing is not a
thing of barter and sale; it is holy
ministry into which greed, selfish
ness and self seeking cannot enter.
The commercialism thar bids for
patronage and dollars is inconsistent
with the true sense of Christ healing
and must ultimately prove to be a
delusion TO both practitioner and pa
tient. Christian Scientists know
that those who would avail them
selves OF the healing power OF Science
must turn to it naturally and without
undue influence
1t may be urged that unless Chris
| tian Scientists advertise the public
will not know how nor where to find
a practitioner, but this will not suffice
as an excuse for adopting methods
not in keeping with the proper re-
serve and dignity which BELTS the
high calling of our ministry. Those
who are ready for Christian Science
will experience no difficulty in find
| ing help and healing. There are
but few communities in which some
beneficiary OF Christian Science can
not be found. The churches OF the
denomination are many, the tree
reading rooms maintained by the
churches are easily accessible, and
a comprehensive directory of prac-
ttiitt::ensesss is published in the s;al
organs of the denominations. NJ.

and Sasebo, the Japanese naval
base, is but five hundred and six
ty miles from the Russian strong
hold. Moreover, only hundred
miles separate the coast of Corea
from that of Japan, and her seem
ing ability to command the sea
approaches renders the landing
of troops on the mainland a
very easy matter, and, as mat
ter Of fact, considerable numbers
of Japanese troops have landed in
Corea. The immediate military
problem therefore, it Will be seen,
involves not merely a considera-
ton of the absolute strength Of
the two opposing nations, but
also comparison of the relative
amounts of military and naval
force that may be brought to bear
by each in a territory one-fourth
of the distance from the japanese
capital that it is from the seat of
of the Russian government. From
that point of view, aud for the
purpose OF the immediate opera
tions, the antagonists are not so
ill-matched as they might seem if
regarded simply from the stand
poiut OF area and population.

As to Advertising.
Christian Science Sentinel.

We sometimes receive inquiries as
10 the standing Of persons who ad-
vertise themselves in newspapers and
magazines as Christian Science prac-
TONERS. We answer these inquiries
by saying that Christian Scientists
do not advertise, and it is sale to as
sumo that the persons who thus
bring themselves to the attention oi
the public are not in any way identi-
fed 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:
1t is unnecessary for us to say
that methods OF advertising akin to
those Of quack doctors and venders
of patent nostrums are not counte-
nanced by Christian Scientists. On
the contrary they are reprehended.

they properly can do in the way Of

RELATIVE STRENGTH OF RUSSIA
AND JAPAN.
Bradstreets: Now that hostili-
ties have actually begun in the
Far East, it may be of interest to
compare in a general way the re-
sources of the two countries in
volved. If this comparison be
made without reference to the
proba able theater of war and the
conditions hedging about the
movement of forces thither, the
combatants seem very dispropor-
tionately matched. The Russian
empire comprises about one-sev-
enth of the land surface of the
globe. Including internal waters,
it covers an area of S.660,395
square miles, and its population
is estimated at about 129, 100000
inhabitants, of which ZOOS, ,614
square miles and 1O6, 264, 1856 in
habitants were IN 1900 comprised
In European Russia. 1t has an
annual revenue amounting to
about 5000, 900, 900, and expendi-
fures somewhat in excess of that
sum. The Russian army on a
peace footing nurnbers about
100000 men and on war foot
ing about 100000 men. The
navy is understood to comprise
about 40, 600 officers and men.
Japan, the island empire, COM
prises an area of 1b1, 1o8 square
miles, including Formosa and
Pescadores. Its population, in
Guiding the islands specifically
named, numbered 47,00O.O00 in
habitants. It's total area is there
fore less than one-6ftieth that of
Russia, and its population is but
little over one-third as large.
Japan has revenue amounting
to little over $121, 100000 and
expenditures little under $780,
100000. Its army on a peace
footing numbers about 1o6,00J
ard on a war footing about 650,
900. Its navy comprises about
10000 officers and men. Japan's
total naval strength is below that
of Russia, but her best battleships
are superior to the best of the
Russian vessels, and her avalla-
BILE force at the point of contact is
believed to be greater. Again,
while her army on war footing
sinks into insis sniflcance compared
with that of Russia, it will strain
the resources of the latter to,bring
to the scene of war body of
troops equal in number to those
that japan may send against her.
1t should be recollected, in maxi
ing any estimate of the relative
strength of the two powers with
reference to the employment Of
military force in the Far East,
that the Japanese troops will be
so near their base that they may
be said to be almost on the ground,
whereas Russia's operations will
have to be conducted at great
distance from the center of her
power. Russia's troops, of course,
far outnumber those of Japan,
but such of them as are to be em-
ployed in the Far East have to be
carried over four thousand miles
on single track railway, and it
will take considerable time for
her to- send over that road forces
sufficient to cope with those which
may be readily placed in the field
by Japan. Takio is but tnou-
sand miles from Port Arthur.

headquarters during the war, is
