Detective Burns Seeks Bold
Band Where Phony Plates
Are Made in Bridgeport.

After n hurried visit 10 this city Sun
day and yesterday. William J. Burns.
head OF the Eurns Detective Agency,
went to Bridgeport today 10 take per-
sonal charge OF the hunt for the forg-
ers who recently c1shod a bad check
for $1,000 al the National City Bank.
While here. Burns consulted Nth Pres
ident william T.. Joyce of tho National
surety Company. which has written
many policies protecting the National
city Bank and Others.
Mr.. Joyce and .he officers OF other
surety companies regard the situation
as most alarming for the banks. They
know that forgeries amounting 20 more
than $4,000 hav been successfully
passed on banks In this part OF the
country within ten davs. The methods
employed by the forgers show great
familiarity with banking.
The officials and Burns believe n large
band Is carrying on the swindllng. led
by a master spirit. who Is not only
cunning but thoroughly, familiar with
the inside methods of the banks Upon
whom the gang preys.
Chicago recently had n visitation much
Ike that which exists here. The forg-
3 cries were so many AM so large IN Chi
c1go that surety companies threatened
to cancel outstanding policies and refuse
to issue more. Banks became very much
more cautious. and Burns and Mr.. Joyce
believe the forT.srs moved their base
% operations to this city.

surance companies to have Burns
catch them before they move on 10

So It is with suffering humanity in
learning the great fact that disease in
its cause is mental. Christian Science
Is at least consistent with what It
teaches because it proceeds directly
to the removal of the mental cause.
and the physical effects are destroyed
along with the cause. 1t is therefore
the most scientific method for the
cure of disease that is known, and It
has the advantage of being precisely
the method employed by Christ Jesus.
otherwise it would not heal
Conclusion.
Therefore, in leaving this subject I
won d commend to your further eonsid-
Grafton that Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures whose only purpose is
to unlock that spiritual meaning OF the
Bible that we gain, not through the hui
man intellect, but through the exercise
of spiritual faculties, rising to the rec
ognition of Goo as absolute good, as
the author of only that which is good
and real and positive and immortal.
BY that spiritual understanding Of the
allness and omnipotence of God, we
may demonstrate the divine raw of
infinite good in destroying al that is
unlike good including sickness and
sin. For this gives to us that spiritual
dominion that God gave to man from
the beginning,-That dominion that
has never been withdrawn. Christian
Science presents this spiritual under
standing in such way tnat IL may pe
applied from the very outset with the
more simple problems. These fruits of
Christian Science, spread over period
of nearly half century, have done
more to change the thought Of the
world to higher ideals than any Telisi-
Gus statement or teaching OF modern
times. They have challenged attention
to the fact that spiritual teaching !m-
proves the health as well as the NOR
ais of men. Such divine character
istics as health and life, which are re-
fected through man, can no more be
annulled, disintegrated, or destroyed
than can God Himself; and We save
ourselves by the conscious recognition

day on the increase and some are con.
sidered by many TO be incurable.
Christian Science heals all such dis.
eases II rs possibly true that seventy
i've per cent OF those who are Chris.
tian Scientists today have been healed
by it's ministrations after reputable
physicians have given them up as be-
yond all hope of recovery, and ali on
the basis OF the Christian Science
teaching that disease in its cause is
not physical but mental. Consump-
ton, for example, is considered by
many to be an incurable disease. 1t Is
cons idered that no known drug or
medicine can heal consumption in its
advanced stages. Therefore the usual
method of today is to resort to what
is known as the nature cure; outdoor
life, exercise, and pure air are re-
sorted to in the hope of abating the
white plague, as it is called. 1t is
generally conceded that consumption
is largely a consuming fear and mani
festy no drug or medicine can cure
fear. The Bible declares that fear
hath torment but perfect love cast
eth out fear" One of the largest
factors in all disease is fear, and
there is no known remedy for fear of
any sort, save only the tenderness and
compassion of unsettled Love. 1t is
that understs nding of God as divine
Love that enables the Christian Scien-
fist to cast out the fear of consumr-
ton and destroy it's physical effects.
On this same basis Christian Science
heals cancers, tumors, pneumonia, To-
comotor ataxia, etc.,-heals them per-
manently. The carnal so-Calied mind
cannot effect a permanent cure be
cause this carnal mind is the source,
origin, and cause of disease, and the
same mind which produces disefse
cannot destroy it. If there seems to
be a cure it is a case of greater err
ror covering up but not healing less,

Resisting Truth.

When we come to recognize a thing
to be true we make the best employ
ment of that truth by acceoing to it
and adopting it, not by fighting it. But
the general situation is much like that
of a company of people who were
travelling through the mountains. 1t
became necessary on some occasions
to hoist themselves up over some
and to let themselves down
over others. There were ladies in
the party, and at one particular place
it was necessary to let themselves
down over a precipice at arms length
and then make a drop of but a few
feet. They all proceeded to the accom-
plishment Of this, including the ladies',
with the exception of one man. He
let himself down at arms length and

WHAT'S Nature?

What then is nature? 1t cannot be
a thing in and of itself. 1t must be
the nature of something else. Jesus
said, according to the revised version
of the Bible, that God is Spirit" and
the nature of Spirit must be and Is
spiritual. 1t is this spiritual nature
that heals Then in place of waiting
blindly upon this spiritual nature to
bring a recovery, the Christian Scien-
fist remembers the Scripture, Lord,
| believe; help thou mine unbe,ief'
Recognizing the helplessness of blind
faith, he proceeds to gain thai unGer-
standing of spiritual nature which
Jesus taught and demonstrated. Then,
clothed in that expression of divine
nature, he can apply it to the specific
case and the sick and SHINING are heal
ed quickly and wholly. Mrs. Eddy

The question has been frequently
asked, "How can some inanimate drug
know just where to go and what to
do?" Is it not endowing matter with
intelligence to think and act contrary
to God? An eminent surgeon once
said in my hearing that mo drug,
medicine, or physician ever healed any
thing in the world" This is a most
remarkable statement, and might ap-
pear meaningless if uttered by some.
The gentleman is, nevertheless, prac-
Using surgeon, examining physician
for a large life insurance concern,
and also instructor in physiology and
hygiene in a well-known American
university. Moreover, the declaration
was made before legislative COM
mittee on public health at the Mas,
sachusetts State House. A physician
on this committee challenged this dec
laration whereupon the surgeon in
vited citations, in refutation of the as
sertion, ana the committeeman cited
appendicitis and pneumonia. The sur
geon then proceeded to explain that
"a man said to be suffering from APP
pendicitis may be operated on, his
appendix is cut out, and after long
time he may recover; but he isn't heal
ed, because he no longer has an ap
pendix, and he ought to have one. So
it is with pneumonia" he continued.
mo drug, medicine, or physician can
heal it, We may be able to assist the
situation in helping to absorb the ac-
emulation; but we can never stop
the accumulation nor heal the disease
If it is healed at all, it is nature that
does the healing" And, strange as it
may seem, the physician had nothing
to say. He could not fail to recognize
the great truth, that it is not the drug
but nature that heals.

by its opponents, that Christian
Science does heal sickness and sin
by a mental process, ano without the
employment of drugs or medicine

Disease Mental.

Mrs. Eddy has presented the under
standing of this Christ law with such
simplicity and accuracy that even the
children and young people can gain its
spiritual meaning which reveals the
power and presence of God, and there
by liberates them from suffering ana
sin or every sort, This is on the basis
that the cause of disease is mental.

Everyone Starts Home After Fourth
Act-Play Had Five.

A five-act play is such a novelty
in New York that when the end OF
the fourth act Of Hero and Leander"
was reached at the German Theatre
Irving Place and Fourteenth ST., last
night the audience got up and left.
The play is a German classic by
Grillparzer, a German love play that
is popular but has not been seen here
in many years. The fourth act has
two scenes and at the end of the act
the players got nine curtain calls.
Then, to the company's amazement,
the audience arose and left.

About noon 1t got too hot for any

they came and stared at me.
Il found on emerging from the wa
ter that a host Of blue brown ants had
taken possession Of my clothes. and
when they were shaken out they re-
venged themselves by biting my bare
feet In a way which was exceedingly
painful.
There are thousands OF ants every
where. Some Of the ant hills are three
feet high and six feet across, but ex-
cept for q sharp nip at the time the
ordinary ants bite Is not noticeable.
But IL a soldier ant or a bull ant or q

The city fathers thought
this was going a little too far, so now
the ants are preserved inside the mu-

sumed lead as a warning to all who
would allow their appetites to run
away with them."-LOndOn Gentle
