A forerunner Of Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy has been discovered. She was
q Japanese woman who, long before
Christian Science was heard of,
founded in the Island Empire a very
similar cult. According to a writer
in the London Chronicle, about 4,OO0,-
900 inhabitants of Japan are beliey-
ers in this system, which they call
"Tenriqyo' and the medical re-
ligion." Few in England or America
had heard of this religion until, not
long ago, four missionaries from
Japan settled for time in London
talked of their faith 10 some whom
they met and, departing, left behind
them a little book written in English
but printed in Osaka.

WHY THE TRAIN WAS LATE
Didn't Have the Nerve to Interfere
He GuIped, So Did Every
body Else.

II the railway guard who held his
train half a minute beyond schedule
time should be reprimanded at head
quarters q hundred passengers who
know why he did 1t will sign petit
ton for his pardon. Sentiment was
back of 1t. Somebody wanted to kiss.
A lot of people want to do that.
Women kiss each other, men kiss
their wives. The guards have no
patience with sentiment Of that kind.
They flaunt their contempt by bawl-
ing, Break away there; no time for
that!" and refuse to hold the train
half a second for the tenderest salute.
But this case was different. It was
easy to see how 1t was. A mother was
giving her child away. The little fel-
low was in good hands. The couple
who had adopted him were whole
some. kindly people; the mother was
wretchedly poor. No doubt 1t was
best all around to give him away.
She and the boy stood the parting
like majors up to the last minute,
then the baby broke down.
"Mom-mom-mom, he blubbered
from the car platform.
Before the guard could close the
door or give the signal she had
reached through the crowd and had
snatched him from the mans arms.
II can't, l can't" she said.
And then the kissing began. The
guard didn't even try to say Break
away!" He gulped; SO did everybody
else. Presently the woman handed
the boy back, and the train started
on amid the deepest silence that had
ever hung over that subway station.
