Editor News-Times:
In the sermon by Rev. Bell that
was reported in your paper the early
part of the week he attempted 10
couple Christian Science with Spirit
ualism, Mormonism and Russell
ism" with the statement that only
those who do not understand the
Bible are members of such things
Since there has been a persistent
effort on the part Of some public
speakers to establish a relationship
between Christian Science and other
movements named, it will be well TO
state that there is no connection or
association Christian Science has
restored the works commanded by
Christ Jesus and performed by the
early Christians, and it must on that
account be the highest type of Chris
tianity. Our critic shows by his state
ments that he is not informed as to
the personnel of the Christian Sci

great many years before they turned
to Christian Science; although there
are many in the Christian Science
ranks who did not know the Bible
formerly.
A student Of Christian Science who
is not a Bible student is an impOssi-
bility. A fact known and acknowl-
edged by many people who have OBJ
served the onward march of the
Christian Science church is that the
former Bible student becomes a more
diligent one the instant he turns to
Christian Science; the Indifferent
Bible reader becomes a searcher
after the truths of the Bible; and
those who have never read the Word
become eager TO learn its spiritual
treasures. That the writing Of Mary
Baker Eddy have revealed the spirits
ual truths Of the scriptures TO all
classes Of students is proved beyond
all question in that the sinner is re-
formed, the sick are healed. and the
kingdom of heaven is declared unto
all mankind
Yours very truly,

70 the Ladies Of
South Bend

Our lazy representative Will call
at your home to show you what
Calumet Baking Powder will do
for you and why if is called the
cooks best friend
The demonstration and test she will
make are interesting and instructive.
The test is not a comparative test of
the strength of different baking pow
ders because the water glass test does
not show the strength of baking pow
der that does not contain white of egg.
The test WILL however, show the su-
periority of Calumet in other respects
and prove why it has solved all baking
problems in millions of homes Calumet
is not only the best leavening agent
possible to make, but it is sold at a
popular price and is therefore an i'm
portant factor in reducing the high cost
of living.
Calumet is manufactured in the
largest, finest and most sanitary baking
powder plant in the world, by experts
who make nothing but baking powder.
Calumet received the highest awards
for purity and efficiency at the worlds
Cago in 1907, and at Paris, France, in
1912. Calumet contains only such
ingredients as have been officially
approved by the United States Food
Authorities
The label on every can of Calumet
makes the explicit statement that Food
prepared with Calumet Baking Powder
is entirely free from Rochelle Salts, Tar
taric Acid, Alum or Ammonia" Labels
must tell the truth. No other baking
powder label makes this statement
Calumet is guaranteed to be Pure in

those footsteps
Now and again, oftener as the
year went by, he heard the steps of
the young girl and the man as they
went up the stairs to the train which
was to carry them to the theater.
And then one night they came down
the stairs, right at the time when
they should have been enjoying the
play, and the merry voice was sob
bling voice.
''Tn never, never speak to you as
long" he heard the girl say, and
he went home very detected blind
man.
He did not expect to hear the girls
voice again, but on the very next
morning she stood in front of him.

night you might have brought me
luck, blind man." she whispered,
chokingly. Here, take this! And
wish me well, blind man. E
She put a fifty-cent piece into the
blind mans hat and went away.
Several times she passed him after

she had taken a dislike to him. Once
or twice she went by up the stairs, in
the theater hour, with some young
man, but it was never Jack. The blind
man recognized her voice, and it was
never merry any more, even though
she was laughing.
Once or twice Jack passed, but he
never paid any attention to the blind
man. Once he went to the theater
with another girl, and once he was
with a woman whose laughter made
the blind man shiver, it was so hard.
The blind man often wished that the
man and Elaine might meet when
they were alone.
But weeks rolled by and passed
into months, and he never attained
his wish. And gradually new inter
ests came into his mind. He had al

This afternoon the streets were al.
most deserted, and hardly soul went
up or came down the stairs.
Suddenly the blind mans keen ears
heard the click of Jacks footsteps
in the street. He knew that Jack was
coming into the little place where he
sat, with the purpose of ascending
the stairs. But then he heard the
man stop, and knew what was hap
pening; he was buying paper to
take in the train.
And just at that instant he heard
the footsteps of Elaine coming down
the stairs.
The blind man shifted his position
a little, so that he sat right in the
path of the girl. She stopped. A
girls mind is not weighty thing al
ways, and Elaine had evidently al
most forgotten the past.
You are in the way, blind man."
she said impatiently. Twill you
kindly let me pass?"
The blind man mumbled and be-
gan to move slowly back. Everything
in the world now depended upon the
factor of time. The blind man was
very slow in moving.
Suddenly he heard the girl start,
and shril petition was in her voice.
Let me pass! Let me pass at
once, blind mani"
At that instant the blind man
could hear the clickety-clack of
Jacks footsteps upon the sidewalk.
90 let me pass, blind mani" sobbed
the girl and then the blind man
heard the start that the man gave.
For just an instant the blind mans
heart was in his mouth. The next, he
knew that Jack had taken Elaine in
his arms in the street, yes, right in
the very presence of the blind man.
Darling, forgive me!' he heard the
man whisper.
