that even thus early this untangling

They thought that the provision of so
large an auditorium was entirely un-

Mrs. Eddy, organized the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston
in 1879 with twenty-six members. So
slow was the growth Of the movement

there were only eleven churches
From that time. however, the increase
was more rapid In 1899, there were
301 churches. There are now 657
churches and 275 societies not yet or
ganized as churches, making 932 So
cetes holding church services. In
1889 there were only 400 members in
the entire connection. In 1894 the
, total membership was 2,536. Five
years later it had reached Is, 134

the present time is about 10000

The instruments invented for the

A Boston couple were recreating

They invited her to pay them visit,

In due time she arrived in Boston
and was installed in the house of the

with her host and hostess.

In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance OF our
darling mother, who passed peacefully away
on the Goth Of May, 1905, In the 7lst year
OF her age.
Death, the silent reaper, has entered our
home again and robbed us of our dearest
one, the one who has watched over us and
shared our sorrows and joys since infancy,
and while we mourn her loss how we are
grieved to know that our home must be
broken up, for "What is home without a
mother" AS we pass through these sea-
sons of trouble what q comfort to know that
we have strong Arm always ready to de-
liver and help us bear our burdens. She did
not fear death, and was willing to go, and
often had she spoken of joining loved ones
on the other shore. She was laid to rest In
the Hyattstown cemetery, surrounded by
sympathizing friends.
Sometime when all life's lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars forevermore have set,
The things which our weak judgment here
The things DER which we grleve with
lashes wet,
Will fash before us clear Ia life's dark night,
As stars shine most In deeper tints of blue,
And we shall see how all Gods plans are
right,
And what seemed reproof was love most
true.
when darkness is DER me,
And my earth's lights are grown dim,
look beyond the scenes and gather
Light and happiness from Him.
1--WE shall meet some happy day
Where partings are no more,
When life's pilgrimage shall end,
On that bright celestial shore.
BY her only daughter, A. King.

Civic League.

There will be meeting of the Rockville
Civic League on Monday, June 4th, at p.
M, at the Woman's Club room. The regu.
lar members and any who may be interested
are invited TO be present.
Less than ten years ago the woods "lm-
provement Society" or "Civic Improvement"
meant but little more than q name, since
1899 and '93 some, If not nearly all OF the
great improvements for the comfort and
betterment of the mass of people have been
brought about by the efforts OF the societies
of this kind. The work is being done not
by the women alone, but the men 10 many
sections are taking hold and begin to realize
| 1t Ia to their advantage to have the towns
and cities 10 which they live clearly and
attractive. Its really a business proposition
to many, for what enhances the value OF
| property more than beautiful and sanitary
| surroundings. AS one of the most important
elements In the civilization OF the so-called
barbarian is the "clean shirt" 80 one of the
greatest aids TO further advancement Of our
own ideals is the greater beauty OF surround :
ings. Beautiful surroundings increase value
and refine, ugliness and filth cheaper and
degrade.
/ Improvement Is what its name implies,
the making better that which ls good as we'll
as bringing good from that which Is bad.
This wish to Improve when applied to that
in which many are interested results In
benefit to the many.
1t is the province of an improvement So
ciety to do what 1t can directly and through
its influence to cause other things to be done
both by the village and by individuals. Ii
is by the approval aud encouragement not
alone OF the societies members, but OF all
members of community, that such socie-
ty can reach Its greatest or even moderate
efficiency. We cannot better serve our viii
lage, State and county than BY endeavoring
in every possible way to make our village
cleaner and more beautiful place In which
to live. The society is glad TO receive sug-
gestions from any OF It's members.

Offered salvation,
With friendship most narrow,
And sent US pair o.

They homed In a pavilion,
| In q year scored o million,
10 five years billion,
And have reached quadrillion,

And the bank was soon broke by the spar

As bold as the Japs,
As pleasant as Schnapps,
All fearless Of raps,
AS cheering as taps,

The floor sOiliDg stoker,

But cheerful and strong;
And this musical sparrow

For, the sycophant beast,

No good In the least

AS meTciless foe,
He laid Cock Robin low,
| With poison. charged arrow,
And wheeled him away 10 barrow.
