This was merely the mistake of

Workers thought, in their simple way,
that money could pay for anything.
Yet I found them warm hearted and

able natures. find.
The trouble with America is that it
is building on . material plane. 1t
is making tremendous progress in all
things material, but We of the Orient
understand the spiritual. We live not
for to-day, but for all time, and when
you forget the soul. a. you do, you are

But to turn to another phase Of
modern conditions. You in your
materialistic progress have given the
Orient implements OF destruction,
while through all the ages we gave
you naught but peace. These weap-

The Mikado is one of the greatest

the Mikado said nothing, but complied
with apparently good grace. Then he
quietly prepared to punish Russia as
the most hated of those powers.
Future events will come about in
this way: President Roosevelt will
suggest to Japan that an exclusion
treaty be signed preventing japanese
of the lower classes from entering
America. This will not meet with
favor on the other side of the Pacific
but storm will arise here which will
force through congress some sort OF
an exclusion measure.
THE Mikado will still hold his
peace, but soon after he will frame a
message to be sent to Washington

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Promoter Keeps Away
From Wall Street and
Prays.

KANSAS CITY. oct 12.-Wan street
will not be asked to help in the building
of the Kansas City. Mexico. and Orient
Railroad. which Is being constructed by
A. K. Stilwell from this city to Topolo-
bampo. Mexico. Christian Science is to
build the road.
StilweH says there are two ways to
build a railroad. one way is to go to
Wall street and ten the financiers about
H. If they like it they'll build it, and
let you be Q secretary. Another way
IS to build 1t without Wall streets aid,
then keep the road and operate it your
self
Stlwell says the railway OF 200 miles
IS being financed by faith. In addition
TO its promoter and builder. there are
a number of Christian Scientists on the
directorate and among the shareholders
Stilwell has been accused OF applying
10 financial matters the principles which
members Of the Christian Science re
ligion apply to physical, mental. and
spiritual difficulties. 1t has often been
said that when StIweU runs out Of
money in railway building he prays for
moro and always gets IT,
Men who have had dealings with him
say he often told them that he had no
funds at that particular moment, and
did not know where he was going to
get them. but he was positive that he
would have ali the money he needed by
the end OF the week. and. sure enough,
lis faith was always justified.
Stilwell is always Indignant when
charged with using hypnotism Upon his
clients and financial hackers. He adj
mits that he is sincere in the Christian
belief. He says that some years ago he
was given up by physicians as having
an inCurable disease. Christian Science
cured him in four days, and he has
never since had an ache or a pain.
He admits he takes his religion into
his business, and he believes that other
people ought 30 do the same, for re
ilgion and business are both founded
on faith. and withOS1t faith in your fell
life is empty and useless.
