Other Misconceptions Considered.

Other Misconceptlons considered.
 One who learns that Christian Science healing involves correct thinking and scientific basis for it, is apt to indig- nantly remark, What do you mean to say that just think I'm sickl' Let it here be answered that Christian Scien- lists do not go to poor sufferer with the flippant remark that The just thinas he's sick" Christian Science is always compassionate and kind and encour- aging. and the practitioner would probably say to the suffering one that God had not provided for disease nor for it's continuance. He will tell him of the nature of God of His presence and power, and that every true thought about Him is helpful and uplifting and healing, and then, if so desired, he will give what is called treatment h Christian Science. which is in the na- ture of prayer, and is a recognition ot mans harmonious relationship to God and a consequent denial of everything unlike it. It Is this two-fold nature of Christian Science prayer that gives It efficacy, and enables it to heal the sick The method involves righteousness on the part of the practitioner; 1t means conscious and constant communion witn good. with Cod it means purification of sense and self, or baptism in the 0lRnRSI dCccpldllOh OA eAiO w.

 The Dlscoverer and Founder.
 The world is somewhat accustomed to Christian Science today, and it is well come subject In many circles, ana us wonderful and blessed achievements are generally acknowledged, but there was a time when Mrs. Eddy was the only Christian Scientist on earth, when she stood absolutely alone with God before the whole world and incurred the ridi- cule of ignorance and the hostility or fheoreticai forms of religion and material modes of medicine because of her dis covery of Christian Science. No hope of material reward. no worldly ambition, could have touched or tainted the con- sciousness of the one whose thought was high and pure enough to discover Chris tian Science, fraught with the divine possibilities of infinite blessings for man kind.
 If we speak of material discoveries as

great who shall be able to employ a word adequately to describe the discov- cry of Christian Science? Even the thou sands who have experienced it's ,beneficent influence. who have come out of sorrow and disease and great trihulatioR realize but faintly tile might, majesty and power which have come to earth through the blessed teachings of Mrs. Eddy. Few even of the beneficiaries of Christian Sci ence realize what it has meant for Mrs. Eddy to be the discoverer and founder of Christian Science and the leader of this great movement. With humility, strength and persistence born of the Christ spirit, Mrs. Eddy has iterated and reiterated that the highest way is the only way whereby mankind can gain harmony, the true basis of health. and satisfaction. She has indicated the pure, unadulterated Christ way and has stood for it in face of all conturnely and in spite of the resistance which evil ever offers to good, and she still stands, figure unique in the history of modern times.
 Christian Scientists are taught to low ingly regard mankind and as they see all the sorrow and sickness and suffering. want and worry and woe, the. conflict between various classes of society; mans inhumanity to man, and the greed for gold and knowing that Christian Science offers deliverance from all this. is it any wonder that they often think in great compassion of these words of the old hymn:
 Oh, ye beneath lifes crushing load, ~
 Whose forms are bending low,
 Who toll along the climbing way
 With painful steps and slow,
 Look now. for glad and golden hours
 Come swiftly on the wing.
 O, rest beside the weary road
 And hear the angels sing.
 The Bible says: There shall no evil befall thee. neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee. to keep thee in all thy ways" Our textbook, "Science and Health with the key to Scriptures, by Mary Baker c. Eddy. page bs1, thus defines angels Gods thoughts passing to man; spiritual munitions, pure and perfect" These are the angels to keep thee in all thy ways.

 Things Above.
 For this reason the Christian is ex- horted to set his mind on things above. If he would rise he must look above him. .sNo stream can rise higher than its source' No man will attain unto more exalted character than he sets his heart upon Tho things that enable a man to rise are the things that are above him. He must be constantly looking up and reaching up. But he is to look beyond the things of this world. Otherwise, he fails.
 The most exalted ideal of the present life is not high enough to meet mans needs. He must look up to the right hand of God where Jesus is. That is the spring of all our ambition and the goal of all our efforts.
 In one sense this ideal is unknown and unknowable, in the present life. We know what Jesus was when on earth, and we know what he has taught us to be- We know also, that in keeping his commandments We will be led up to him. But what is he now? In what form and likeness does he exist? i"It is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is." We must take the living Christ as our ideal and live as he taught us. By and by we shall be manifested in the likeness of his eternal glory. The broken and lost image of God shall be restored and honored and glorified
  'I want to be more like Jesus, And follow him day by day: want to be true and faithful,
 And every command obey.
 More and more like Jesus,
 l would ever be;
 More and more like Jesus, My Savior who died for me-

TELEpOST BUYS
 TELEGRAPH LINE. VIII Reduce Rates Between Portland and Boston. '

New York, Sept. 21.-By purchasing control of the Atlantic Telegraph com pany the new telegraph, company, the Telepost, has acquired the use of a working, line over .l50 miles long, from Boston. to Portland, Me-
 President, H. Lee Sellers. of the Tele- post company made the following an nouncement today:
 "It Is true that we have acquired control of the Atlantic lines from Bos- ton to Portlandsands will immediately install our rapid automatic system of telegraphy on this line. accepting busi- ness at our uniform rate of 25 cents for twenty five words. 5 cents for each additional ten worlds. The Western Unions Boston Portland rate. is 30 cents. for. ten words.
 "We are able to utilize full capacity of the wires by machines which send and receive at speeds of 1. 900 words minute. The old wire companies are limited by hand transmission sto a small fraction of this speed. That is the explanation of the superiority of the Telepost system and of our lower rates.
 Portland will be the starting point westward of our transcontinental trunk line. on which we are actively at work. Our plans for the opening up of other territories are well. advanced, bnt we are not now ready to announce details. The fnlfillment of these plans. howev- CT. will soon become evident to the public, ,jrst as in the case of the AtIan- tic lines. when all our arrangements are completed" a~f

There was much to amuse and entertain and the people present had no difficulty in enjoy ing themselves. There was plenty of dancing, numerous attractive booths, stage entertainment and several bankers. The scenery was really a surprise and the Irish villages look ed as natural as though they were on the little island itself. The blar- ney stone, and the ruins of some Of the famous castles were also viewed with much interest.
 The stage entertainment was fur nished by the Cronan-Goodink troupe. local boys. who are making their start In the professional world. Aerial bar troupes have to be among the. leaders now to att tract much attention and unless an act of this kind is very good an au- dience does not enthuse. Although the Cronan- Gooding act would come in for liberal applause because of the numerous friends which the young men have. still the bar artists can
