Thousands IeStlfy to Healing.
 Then there is a mass of evidence of
 direct and particular nature to be
 found in the individual testimonies
 or healing in the official publication
 of the Christian Science church. In
 these publications in recent years
 have appeared the statements of more
 than twelve thousand persons who testify to having been healed through
 Christian Science of ills that cover virtually the whole range of human suffering. These thousands of per- sons have been so impressed with what Christian Science has done for
 them in the way of healing that they have voluntarily set out. their ex- periences in writing and asked that these be published over their own signatures for the information of their fellow men.
 Of course officials records are not
 really required by the average individ ual who wishes to learn what Chris tian Science is doing for the sick, for the reason that in almost every conn., munity of consequence the inquirer may obtain first-hand information
 from the beneficiaries of this healing method. The Wednesday evening
 testimony meetings in Christian tScience churches everywhere to which the public is cordially well come, are especially recommended in that respect.
 Christian Science in Business. In the business world Christian Science has been found to be notably helpful A sound body and a clear head are important assets to one up- on whom devolves the direction or ex- ecution of affairs of trade and indus l try. But Christian Science does something for business itself as we'll as for the business man or woman.

One day Ethel was playing with her
dolls ON the porch when all at once she
heard a loud noise out in the back
yard near the garden. Out she flew and
there, inside of the wire fence was Eve.
their rabbit, with her three TRANCE
hens. Eve was chasing the hens round
and round as fast as he could hop and
the hens We're flying around cackling
as loud Is possible.
At last Eve made one hop and landed
on a hens back and the other mems
flew ever the wire fence into their own
yard. Eve hung on to the hens back
until she flew over the fence too, and
then Eve hoped up to Ethel and into
her lap as much as to say: See, l knew
you didn't want those aens there and
l made them go awayss'
Ethel picked Eve up. went into the
house and told her mother about it
and Ethel says she knows that Eve I'M
derstood all she had told her and that
she did drive the hens away.
Anyway, the hens have never come
over into the yard since and if they see
Eve anywhere in sight they run and
hide as fast as they can. Edward says
he thinks Eve is a better watch dog
than Eric which makes them all laugh.

The Peoples Music.
From MnSfpa1 Anarica

Signs multiply hat the New York
public, denied its outdoor music dur
ing the summer months through the
cupidity Of certain officials. has de-
ternlined to provide for it's own needs.
We read of ambitious choral perform
ances projected in the public schools,
where, under the direction of several
high minded and capable gentlemen
such as Henry L. Fleck and DR.. Frank
r. RiX. very meritorious presentations
of interesting works are given before
huge audiences; of a concert given in
Central park by 5000 volunteers Of
both sexes; of a strong movement to
make such open air song exercises per-
manent and to enlarge their sphere Of
operations; and of increased efforts by
the park music committee of the Music
League of America to cooperate with
the park department in giving free
concerts during the season. Engaged
in furthering the success of this last
named enterprise can be found such
artists as PaSquale Amato. Melanie
Kurt. Johannes Sembach, Ernest
Schelling and Giovanni Martinelli. In
the words of Nine. Kurt. the commit
tee hopes to show the city board of
to provide for these concerts, make
them.a permanent feature Of the city's
umlne life and give them the full
support they deserve"
These clear limitations Of popular
discomfort over the bovine stupidity Of
a few individuals speak well for the
musical appetite of the crowd. And
most encouraging is the spectacle Of
several thousand willing-nay, eager
to participate in the music making sub
stituted for the concerts so ruthlessly
curtailed. Once this stage is reached
a great point has been gained. 1t
demonstrate that in some degree the
much berated populace Is beginning to
find itself unsteady. 1t matters little
that the songs they sing are simple
and not always distinguished in the
higher artistic sense. Enthusiasm once
%enkindled, improvement in taste may
be left to take care of itself. And the
enthusiasm is apparently there. II the
generous minded individuals and or
CARNATIONS who are striving to adj
vance this happy state Of things will
but persist in their endeavors. the par
ties responsible for the shameful re-
duction of appointments for public
music may sooner or later find them
selves called to a severe reckoning by
their constituents.

Safety Not First!
From st. Nicholas.

FROM ot. NlCnOldS.
Our present day civilization can
boast of many good and wonderful
things. but safety is hardly one of it's
blessings. The ancients seem to have
moved about in a paradise of safety
when we compare the simple condi-
tions of their life with our own COM
pick and dangerous environment. The
very richness of modern life makes the
world a dangerous place in which to
live. The figures showing the number
Of deaths from violence in recent years
is appalling. Last year, in the United
States alone, $4,000 persons were killed
in accidents of one Kind or another,
while nearly 1000, 900 more were in
jured. About $4,000 worklnen We're
killed while at their tasks. On the
railroads of the country about 10, 900
persons are killed every year, and 20
times that number are injured. On the
streets and roads, 5000 deaths are
caused by vehicles, the automobile be-
ing responsible for half this number Of
victimg.

Germans from all of France from the Ar
gonne to Picardy, south of line drawn
from Vouziers to Lille.
Less than twenty miles east Of the
French, as they look down upon Peronne,
is the city of St. Quentin, one of the big
industrial cities of Northern France. This
is the real French objective, if the French
are to share in the main operation. II the
British get Cambria, the Germans will
probably have to quit St. Quentin. while
the French capture of st. Quentin might
not imperil Cambria, but it would mean
that the Germans would have to leave all
of France to the south and east as far as
the Argonne, evacuating La Fere, Laon
and Champagne south of Rethel.
Cambria the Goal.
II the British get Cambria and are able
to get a little further east, less than q
dozen miles, then they will cut all the main
lines of communication Of the Germans
west of the Argonne and the Germans will
have no choice but to retire behind the
Belgian frontier from Lille TO the Meuse.
France will be liberated, save for some
Lorraine districts.
Here is the whole sequence Of probabil
ity or possibility as one chooses to view 1t.
The British have got half way to Ba.
paume and are still advancing; they will
soon have the town under effective fire;
they will take it in three weeks if they
can keep on as they have gone. The
French need only to make two or three
miles to get the Germans out of the Chaul-
mes Roye sector. When all this is done
there will only be a real beginning.
Once Bapaume is taken the British must
advance upon Cambria. Unless they are
able to do it the Germans will have sue
cessfully checked the attack. The British
at Bapaume will have twice as far to go
as they had when they started from Albert
