Morrison, ILL.,, on January IT, 1865,
in which his father, Major Frank

men to enlist for one years service

months of the civil war when the
government was bending every en-
ergy to crush the dying embers of
rebellion. r"
"'Come In Out of the Draft was
recited that unless the young men
volunteered they would be drafted
into the service. IN offer of 5000
bounty and $50 a month in addition

to the older citizens to furnish sub

able to go to war themselves.

$4,000 FAMILIES TO
TAKE UP GARDENING

Berlin Feb. 19.-Approximately rs
thousand Berlin families will take
up gardening on a small scale dur
Ing the coming spring. The number
OF these volunteer gardeners" which
had been just above 1000 before the
war; had increased to some $4,000
last summer and fall, and gives ev.
cry indication of going higher this
coming spring.
One result of the tremendous cam.
paign for gardens, which make the
berliner partly independent OF the
market, has been to clean up count
less unsightly empty lots, especially
IN the suburbs, which in peace times
nad been used for dumping grounds
ana all sorts of other purposes. Many
tennis courts have been sacrificed to
peas and beans and potatoes.
Inc original gardeners in Berlin
were the members of the so-called
power Colony's, which has patriot
icaiiy divided up and shared its land
ietting it for trifiing amount. or fol
Hothing, to Berliners who expressed
q aeslre to raise their own vegeta
Oies. The official membership of the
Ooiony' has increased since the be
ginning of the war from 1000 to
ifVoo, and the unofficial "colonists'
-'nose who rent or own plots oi

tencts For any man to come into
this community posing as Chris
tian minister and assail any body OF
people who are trying as best they
know how to follow the same
Christ. or teachings. that he profess
es to follow. is thereby to lower
himself i'm the minds of many good
people, and in our judgment he does
no credit either to the works or
teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
Now just a word to the public in
conclusion IL you wanted to learn
about mathematics, would you go to
man who read" an arithmetic and
who was travelling over the country
in some other line of work, or would
you go to mathematician man
who had studied and mastered and
was able to demonstrate mathema-
tics? Or, If you wanted to learn
about music would you come to the
Courier Office and hear the noise and
rattle of our presses and listen to
our talk. or would you go to a mas
ter musician? The proper place to
learn the facts about Christian Sci
ence is from the Christian Science
xt-books, just as you would go to
the textbooks on mathematics or
music to learn of them.
Christian Science purports to be
the Science OF life, the Science or
truth about mans relation to his
creator, God. IL purports to reform
the sinner and heal the sick, and to
be the same thing that Jesus OF
| Nazareth taught and demonstrated.
IL may not be or do that, but mas
much as 1t today carries a world
wide interest and relates to a matter
OF such vital importance to you and
to the world. you cannot afford to
take the word of any preacher or
any newspaper man or anybody else
| about IL, but the thing to do Is 10
investigate for yourself. II Mr..
.....'s attack on Christian Sci
ence shall result in even one indi-
viduars investigating Christian Sci
ence for himself and finding out the
facts, let the facts be what they
may. then his attack will not have
been without good results.
