be taken south. The car was being
shifted from the train to a place on the
dock near the boat. but got beyond con-
troll and WAS going at such a rate of
speed as to go over the pile of dirt which
was used for a bumper and slide about
ten feet across the dock hitting the
steamer on the starboard side at the cap
tain's room and the purser's office.
The accident in no way damaged the
steel hull nor the machinery Of the boat
The sheathing. which is of matched and
beaded pine. was badly stove in and a
few stanchions. or uprights. knocked

he would not think 1t consistent to

Christian Scientists do ask God for
guidance, wisdom and help. They
know that He has given them all
things, and that their need is only
to awake from their dreamy. mortal
mind sense to avail themselves of His

Mrs. Eddy's first awakening to the
divine healing power came to her
when, from the effects of an accident,
her recovery seemed beyond all earth
ly hope. Her early spiritual training
tended to inspire confidence in the
power of God to heal the sick, so, when
man reached his extremity and failed,
she turned to God to verify that early
confidence. Her healing was instan-
taneous,
Mrs. Eddy had discovered the law of
spiritual healing and brought the bles-
sed message to the world that there is
comforter for every sorrow, however
despairing; that there is a law of re-
storation for every fear and disease |;
a publication for every sin and a
panacea for every i'll.
