An EVangelistic Campaign.

It was a most interesting and at the
same time a remarkable story which
The Washington Herald printed yes
terday concerning the great evangelistic
movement which is soon to be inaugu-
rated in this country.
Apparently. there is need for this
campaign. According to the statistics,
there are 100000 more women and
girls in the churches than there are
men and boys. In Massachusetts, 50
per cent of the people are not church
members, while in Indiana the percent
agt is 81. Other States show that a
very large proportion of the population
does not go to church. The average
for the entire country of persons out
side of the church is 70 per cent.
\ Through the medium of a stirring
campaign in the principal cities, it is
hoped to secure revival of religious
interest The movement is nonsecta-
rian, and will be conducted largely
through the instrumentality of the
Young Meas Christian Association. It

Christian Scientist I'm Kansas Oh
tains Judgment for Services.
From the New York Globe.
Whether a practitioner of Christian
Science, who administers what is known
as absent treatment may enforce pay
ment for such service is a matter which
has been so much discussed that a case
involving the question which has lately
arisen in Kansas is worthy Of mention.
and is here summarized without prejudice
to any interest A woman resident of
Wyandotte County. Kans., who died re-
Gently. during her illness took absent
treatment for eight weeks. for which her
estate was sued for $40 by the practi-
toner who administered It.
The court gave Judgment in favor OF the
plaintiff for the full amount, holding that
contract calling for absent treatment
Is :ne same as any other contract, that
the person taking the treatment expects.
or at least hopes, to be benefited thereby.
and that the fee therefor Is proper and
collectible. The court appears to have
regarded the matter not as one Of medical
treatment. but purely as one relating to
the validity Of contracts.

Astronomy in the United States.

The fact that Emperor William has
honored with an order of knighthood
the eminent American astronomer, Prof.
Pickering, of Harvard, is a fitting rec
ognltion OF the advanced work which
has been done in this country in the
way of astronomical research. At his
observatory, in Arizona, Prof. Lowell
has made the closest observation of the
planet Mars, his conclusions as to the
inhabitancy of that world being accepted
almost everywhere as the final word
upon the subject The observatory upon
Mount Wilson and the Yerkes observa-
tory, in Wisconsin, have also contrib
uted largely to human knowledge of
the heavens. In fact, the progress made
in this country in astronomical knowl-
edge, together with the work which is
being done by the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition and the Carnegie Institution along
astrophysical lines, gives the scientists
of the United States a high standing
among their fellow-workers throughout
the world.
While this is true Of the men who are
devoting their lives to astronomical re-
search. it is extremely doubtful whether
the study of astronomy among the peo-
pie generally is pursued to the extent
which existed in former years. This is
all the more remarkable when it is
remembered that astronomy is one of
the most fascinating studies, and that
It leads the mind into the contemplation
OF the greatness of the universe. Com
pared with the spectacle which the
heavens afford, the earth upon which
we live is but as a grain of sand upon
the seashore. The farthermost planet
of our system has an orbit of more
than two billion miles, and yet the sun
and its retinue of planets are but an
atom in the immensity Of space
There Is no study so inspiring as
astronomy, and yet there 10 no study Of
which so little is known by the average
man and woman The trouble is that
we pass through life % engrossed with
the small and material things around

Editor Alma Record,

Dear Sir
Although my term Of residence as
Medical Superintendent of the Alma
Sanitarium was but little over two
years, yet during that time | made
some friends who may be glad to
hear from me through the columns
of tn, Record which, by the way, is
a weekly visitor to our home.
| speak of Our Home which sim
ply means that since leaving Alma I
have established home OF my own,
with one of Alma's best girls. (who
was formerly Miss Iris Neidhardt)
as mistress.
So many people travel nowadays
that letters for publication may not be
so interesting as they formerly were.
But everyone gets just little differ
ent views of things and it may not
be out of place to give our friends
and other readers of the Record, an
idea Of how things look to us
First: ] might say that a year or
more ago | decided to relinquish the
practice OF medicine, for time at
least, for the reason that | needed a
change. after a good many years OF
strenuous work and I also wanted
time TO devote TO other enterprises.
A little over year ago I organi-
zed a company 10 take over mill
and a tract OF fine timber here in
Georgia. After everything was set
tied it was deemed advisable for me to
go south, for time at any rate, to
give personal attention to the b.si-
ness. Mr. J. A. McLachlan, of FL

also here, and we both find our
hands full. for the detail work of A

is located on the banks of the Oc-

down, some by boat and some by
rafting. This river is a navigable
stream, and formerly boats piled be-
tween here and Brunswick, in fact,
they went as far north as Macon.
The scenery along the Ocmulgee
is very pretty, but the brick red color
of the water in the river detracts
from its beauty What gives this

planned, but many OF the streams here
are colored.
