Head Of the Christian Science Church
Asks Not to Be Burdened.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The burden
of acknowledging congratulatory mes
sages and gifts on Christmas and other
times have grown onerous. Mrs. Mary
G. Baker Eddy has placed a bar on
them. The new rule in the bylaws of
the Christian Science church will save
ite head much time and her followers
much expense.
The new section is added to section
of article XII, which is entitled:
DUTY of Cod" and reads:
Members Of the church who turn
their attention from the divine being
to personally sending gifts, congratu-
latory dispatches to pastor emeritus
on Thanksgiving, Christmas. New Year
or Easter, break a rule of this church
and are anlenable therefor"
In some quarters outside OF ranks
of Christian Scientists this rule has
been interpreted as aiming to discour-
people OF this belief. Alfred FarloW,
tion committee and former president
Of the mother church, disclaimed the
meaning.
II do not understand the bylaws ap-
plies to Christian Scientists exchang-
ing gifts among themselves or with
other friends" he said So far as
know, it means simply what it says,
that members of the church are not to
send messages and gifts to Mrs Ed
dy."

Chicago, Dec. 28.-Secretary Of the

that there would be no criminal

"The rumor Of criminal prosecu-

taken out, gilt edged security was
placed within. Depositors will get ev-

that has been accomplished, the re-

THE PRICE, OF INDEPENDENCE.
ISptrit Lake Beacon.1

Why all this unseemly abuse of A. B.
crmmtns? The tongue Of slander has
never dared to wag against the clean
record of his private life. In his large
law practice he has never been accused
of conduct unbecoming. The limelight
of malicious scrutiny has never dis
covered an executive act Of his for
which proud commonwealth has been
ashamed. Then why all this evidence
of design and desperation to discredtt
this man before the people?
The plain truth Is that by many OF
the powers Of practical politics he is
regarded as an interloper in public
affairs. Why? Because from the be-
ginning of his political career he has
reserved all rights Of manhood Be-
cause he never would consent to render
tribute to political dictators who
would usurp rights to which they
are in no wise entitled. Because he
has scorned corporations and oombina-
tions Of capital which aspires to the
control of political panties Because
lie has insisted upon going over the

third, with the maintenance or r'restora-
