CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
BUILDING RAILROAD
Promoter Keeps Away from Wall
Street, Prays for Funds, 1t
ls Said, and He Gets
Them

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 27-wall street
will not be asked to help In the building
of the Kansas City. Mexico & Orient rail-
road, which is being constructed by A. Il.
Stilwell, from this city to Topo1obampo,
Mexico. Christian Science is to build the
road.
Stilwell says there are two ways TO
build railroad. One way is to go to Wall
street and tell the flnanciers about 1t. If
they like 1t they'll build it, and let you
be a secretary. Another way is to build
1t without Wall streets aid, then keep the
road and operate It yourself.
Stilwell says the railway of 100 miles
is being financed by faith. In addition to
it's promoter and builder, there are num-
ber Of Christian Scientists on the direo-
torate and among the shareholders.
Stilwell has been accused of applying to
financial matters the principles which
members of the Christian Science religion
apply to physical, mental and spiritual
difficulties 1t has often been said that
when Stilwell runs out of money in rail-
way building he prays for more and al
ways gets 1t.
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
all the money he needed by the end Of
the week-and, sure enough, his faith was
always justified.
Stilwell is always indignant when
charged with using hypnotism upon his
clients and financial hackers. He admits
that h, is sincere in the Christian Science
belief. He says that some years ago he
was given up by physicians as having IN
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 peo-
pie ought to do the same, for religion AMI
business are both founded on faith, and
withou. faith in -our fellow men life IS
empty and useless.
