Iul stu0y, training ana minute plan-
ming.
No other class OF thievery is more
disastrous TO the merchant or gives the
police Of every large city so much
trouble. Nor does any other class of
sneak thieves exist In such numbers
with so few arrests and convictions.
There are reasons for this.
The shoplifter is an astute and most
discerning Individual She operates
artfully, craftily. Her very appearance
IS TO deceive. She does not enter the
store masked. nor does she cast fur
tive glances about her. She Is ma
chine of steady nerves, fearless eyes.
cool decision. Usually she is gowned in
the hnery of the predatory rich. She
has about her every appearance of re-
finement. The last is 20 points toward
her success as a shoplifter.
In 80 cases out of 100 a clerk in a
jewelry store, novelty establishment
or a great dry goods emporium would
no more be able to pick shoplifter
out of a crowd of women than would
a farmer be able to measure the flow
Of Niagara. There are no earmarks to
the shoplifter. She is an individual
among individuals and her only de-
lection comes when she is caught in
the very act of stealing. Many an in
nocent woman has been falsely accused
OF shoplifting, no doubt, yet many a
guilty woman has eluded the special
detectives. both men and women. who
are set to catch her.
The shoplifter presents a problem
which has baffied the police, the best
detectives, the largest businessmen of
this and other countries. The reason
is simple-the shoplifter passes among
other women as one OF them. She
laughs and chatters. she fondles rich
jewels, she strokes fine silks. she COOS
and praises the beautiful, throws aside
the ugly and the bad in goods OF every
description when buying or pretending
to buy, like the 100 other women at her

bottom one the next boat is 112-116
feet further upstream, and so on. The
men row against the current, but this is
slack on account of the comparative
lowness of the water in summer and
the frequent recurrence of locks. Each

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE,
ITS HEALING MINISTRY
An Able Address Delivered at
Salt Lake Theater Last
Evening.

A large number of Christian Scientists
and others interested In the subject. at
tended the meeting held in the Salt Lake
theater last evening when Bliss Knapp,
c. 5. b., member OF the Christian
Science board OF leCtureship OF the First
Church of Christ Boston. Mass. deliv-
cred q. lecture on Christian Science; Its
given close attention and said, in part:
when one turns 10 God for comfort
or consolation II is commonly through
prayer. Christians are taught to pray
for deliverance from sickness and from
sin. They continue their preaching
against sin, but the Christian healing of
sickness is apparently apathetic from un-
belief Ii disease were purely physical
and could be reached only nv drugs or
material means. there could be no such
thing as Christian healing.
Before Mrs. Eddy discovered Christian
Science, she had been searching for years
along tho line OF mental causation. She
had been studying homeopathy and
learned the mental nature of disease,
and that the higher attenuations OF medi-
cine which contained the least Of the
drug and the most mind were the most
powerful. She continued her investtga-
tions beyond homeopathy to mental
standpoint. with the question ever be-
fore her. whether matter or mind heals
the sick.
in her subsequent Investigations OF
mental influences she learned that the
carnal Will or magnetic healing was abso-
lutely opposed TO her own ideals Of
mental healing, ond she turned from II,
She submitted 10 all manner OF stress
and trial, but withal proving a special
fitness to receive the revelation Of truth.
by clnging so naturally TO her ideal OF
hight and forsakiug the counterfeit.
1T was at this period OF her experience
that the great spiritual light dawned upon
her consciousness The circumstance
which brought this spiritual awakening
was her remarkable recovery, in 1866.
from an injury caused by AN accident.
She was seeking 10 console her suffering
sense by reading passages from the
Scriptures, when she caught the depth OF
its spiritual import and was instantly
healed.
Now that Mrs. Eddy had found the
comforter. which Is the spirit of truth
and which heals the Sick she resumed
her search Of the Scriptures for a. scten-
tiic explanation of il. that sha might
impart II To others. She soon 1earned
that the healing operates according 10
a divine law. and she began 10 write
out her obs" rvations. These writings
formed the basis Of Science and Health
With Key 10 the Scriptures.
This treatise presents so accurate an
exposition Of its science that thousands
OF people have been cured of all forms
OF chronic and acute diseases, by the
simple reading Of that book, fulfilling
the Scripture. 'Ye shall know the truth.
and the truth shall make you free,
"fn all that we do, we arc asked TO
observe Mrs Eddy's enioinment. Follow
your leader only so far as she follows
