Ny dear Stilwel:
Thanks very much for sending
me the Brownie story. You GER

fabric, and 1 have enjoyed 1t i'm
mensely. ! used to believe in the
Brownies, and l don't know but
that do yet. You certainly make
one feel that they are as real a
proposition as anyone could wish.
There are score OF other letters.
Many claim to have had experience
with the Brownies. .... ....
When asked about the origin OF his
strange powers, Mr.. Stilwell declared:
IT have had them from childhood.
When, was a boy, I used to tell my
mother who would call on her during
the day and predict other events.
Sometimes l would be spanked to dis
courage what she called second
sight Whether it is second-sight,
half-sight, or some other kind OF
sight, I can't tell All l know is that
the Brownies have mapped out my
life for me, shown me how to make
money that Is clean and untainted and
made me happy"

STILWELL'S STORY

Arthur E. Stilwell, railroad builder

Of letters.

lecturer, at the Hotel McAlpin, de-

his audience of 1000 to read it, and
announced that on Jan. % he would
devote his entire talk to an analysis
of the Brownies and their powers.
A poet, whose name would be i'm

GILMORE SCOFFS
AT ANY MESSAGE
FROM MRS. EDDY
Stilwell's "Dream" Can't De-
ceive Christian Scien-
fists, He Says.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEE ON
PUBLICATION. 90 VANDERBILT Av.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.
To the Biitor Of The Evening World:
That the alleged dream messages
from Mrs. Eddy appearing in The
Evening World Of Jan. z follow close
upon the altogether fanciful Brownie
Stories from the same author, will be
Of definite assistance in determining
their value and Importance.
Manife5tly these dream fancies will
find no credibility whatsoever among
Christian Scientists and others who
are acquainted in any degree with
Mrs. Eddy's teachings. So important
did she regard the necessity of
clearly distinguishing her teaching
from spiritualism that she devoted a
whole chapter to it in her major
work, Science and Health with Key
10 the Scriptures" under the title
Christian Science versus Spiritual
ism"
In that chapter (Science and
Health, page S4) she says, This true
conception Of being Chat mind is in
finite) destroys the belief Of spiritual
ism at its very inception, for without
the concession of material PERSONAL
ties called spirits, spiritualism has
no basis upOn which to build"
Also, on page 50, after speaking OF
the impossibility of communication
between the departed and those on
this plane, she says: THE mental
states are so unlike, that intercom
munion is as impossible as it would
be between a mole and a human
being"
The contents of these alleged mes
sages are as little characteristic Of
Mrs Eddy as the language and style
of expression. The world is far toe
wise to attach any value whatsoever
to such thinly yelled suggestions
Sincerely yours,
ALBERT F. GILMORE.

People who have the same ideals
and purpose naturally pull together
and work together. God Is tremen-
dously concerned to get this old world
OF ours set right. He is working con-
stantly that everywhere men shall be
free from political oppression and
from poverty and all the attendant
crimes and sickness. The most seri-
Gus obstacle to all these things is men
themselves. Bad-hearted men will spoil
any democracy, no matter how good
start Il gets. Unbrotherly men will
run any business so that they will get
more than their share of the profits;
