Science may sometimes falter or even fail, but the clear statements by which Mrs. Eddy has revealed the meaning of Jesus command, and has shown how each person may obey understandingly and successfully, will stand forever. To refer to Mrs. Stetson's sayings in considering the future of Christian Sci- ence is outside the mark. Her career and the attention she may attract to herself cannot in any way affect the Christian Science church.
 Well-informed Christian Scientists do not look for a material resurrection of Mrs. Eddy's material body. She has con- stanty taught the adherents of Christian Science that they do not see her in her per- sonality butthat they may get the true view of her character in her book, "Sci- ence and Health" and her other writ ings and in her great love for them and all mankind. Her love and her writ ings are deathless.
 Christian Science corroborates the scriptural teachings that the time will come when "the last enemy death, shall be destroyed (see Cor. 15;26), when there shall be no more pain, no more death (Rev. 21:D, but it's adherents rec ognize the reasonableness of the fol- lowing statement by Mrs. Eddy in Unity of Good" page 43. ''The achievement of this ultimatum of science, complete tri- umph over death, requires time and im- mense spiritual growth" If they are wise, they will work diligently toward att taining this spiritual growth through "better health and morals,' to quote Mrs. Eddy again on page 4S5 of Science and Health." Centuries may pass before the world attains this immense spiritual growth.
 op ok, [, tfyhn MrS Eddy gathered about her as aids in the government and discipline of the church to carry on her work of safeguarding the teachings of Christian Science from adul- iteration are individuals of the highest integrity. That they are good business men Is no drawback Gas the reverend crit ic would seem to imply) to their fitness for carrying on the work entrusted to their keeping. The apprehension of Chris tan Science improves in every way the human capacity, as people in various avenues of business life have testified. They, and all followers of this leader out of the wilderness of the carnal mind. will miss Mrs. Eddy's presence in the flesh, but these officials are already skilled in the management of the affairs of the Christian Science church, and, moreover the chart by which they will steer is clearly mapped out in the pub lished teachings of that rare and wonder full woman, Mary Baker Eddy.
 The uplifting of the human race to a higher plane than where it now stands. the gradual disappearance of its misery and degradation, will inevitably follow better understanding and moro faithful practice of what Christian Science teaches. The age to come will declare more truly than the present what Mrs. Eddy has accomplished. The last stanza of her poem. Satisfied" written in 1900. describes the situation

 'Go on, don't mind, I'm not sensi- tive, but out with the new method" laughingly said.

If we are to believe with our friends, MT. Edgar Saltus, who once proclaimed In one of his very readable books that happiness produces an obesity that is porcine," then the world is peopled to- day with quite a happy lot of folks, for the fat people seem to be undoubt- edy in the majority.
 Of course suppose there really is an equal division, as to fat and lean peo- pie, as between Jack Spratt and his wife, although divergng in tastes they licked the platter clean, yet 1t seems to me hear more about fat people, especially women folks, than any other kind.

MOTORCYCLE BEATS
 SHERLOCK HOLMES

Indianapolis, January 12.-(Special) )-The motorcycle has stepped in ahead of Sher- lock Holmes and as a factor in prevent ing crime and catching criminals it now occupies high place in the estimation of police officials.
 Its great capacity for speed-which sends the machine around the racing track almost as fast as bullet-is the element that makes it an important fig ure in the world of crime and crime pre- vention The motorcycle is not always flashing around the race track, watched and cheered by great crowds of specta- tors. Nowadays it has found a place in the police machinery of the world It waits as patiently as a steed with a metal heart and a gasoline soul can wait for the emergency call that sends it at top speed across town to the scene of crime.
 Its success lies in this-that it gets there quick. The police arrive so quickly that in many cases the criminal is caught on the spot. In others the officers are there in time to follow the 'trail' while 1t is "warm." They get their man right off the bat''-and consequently Sherlock Holmes loses many a job.
 Nearly all of the large cities of the United States have availed themselves of the advantage of the motorcycle in their police departments. Their officials say that it not only aids in capturing crimi- nals, but that it prevents crime as well. Criminals know of the motorcycles speed. They know the policemen are waiting, not Tar away, ready to mount their motorcy- cle and "get to them quick" It discour- ages them in many projected crimes, for thev realize that the hazard has in- creased. As natural sequence, the law abiding public has been given an added sense of security.
 Captain Bradish of the University po- lice station, Los Angeles, has just install ed two motorcycle sub-stations. Nine men are assigned to motorcycle duty in the University division, three men being on duty at all times.
 St. Joseph, Mo-, is boasting of lone of the nattiest, best-looking police motor cycle squads in the whole coutry." Four officers are assigned to motorcycle duty in the St. Joseph police department, work ing night and day in teams of two each.
 Memphis, Tenn, now has the motor cycle improvement in It's police depart ment. The police commissioner at Mem- phis expresses himself in this way:
 "As in the case of the fire department quick service Is half the battle. Oui motorcycle officers are under instruction to answer all emergency calls, and to get there quick.
 Houston, Tex, has its motorcycle off cers. One of the councilmen in Indian apolis is insisting that the motorcycle snuad be increased. Chicago has them. so has Milwaukee, and even smaller cities like Dayton Ohio, and Riverside. Cal, have been quick to adopt this new ''po- liceman."
