some few mo1ths ago Boston
did not know qoue. Boston. for
m her culture. had never heard
his familiar ''Day by day. in
every way. Il am getting better
aDd better"
The simple little chemist had
lived always in one little village.
and the folk who had come to
him fox. help were the people OF
the }neighborhood. They had
heard of his powers and marvel
cd 1t the miracles that they In
sisted he had performed. And,
k6ing away, they had told one
smother OF the marvellous healing
sof the man.
ALI. KNOW COUE.
The little shopgirl, stopping at
the lunch counter for her cheap
and filling" breakfast OF dough
nuts and coffee, quotes him
glfbly and accurately. The blond
cd and delicately tinted manicur-
list drawls through his health
giving formula as she yields q
rapid buffer over glistening pink
finger nails.
The uniformed chauffeur, shiv-
ering during his long wait in the
shining limousine, paraphrases
that formula to suit his feelings.
The grimy coal man chants it,
while he pours black precious
nuggets into your cellar window.
And the banker and the club
woman, the society matron and
the debutante know it, too. and
repeat it, each according to his
Or her fancy.
There was curiosity to see the
man. among the well felix of the
city. But there was something
more than curiosity among the
sick, the MANNED and the blind,
who heard of his coming and
made frantic efforts to reach
him.
It was the desperation of long
suffering; the desperation Of long
months or years OF pain and dis
ability; the desperation that in
duces a proud man or q sensi-
tive woman to stand before an
audience Of hundreds Of curious
people, on the Off chance that
there would be some help. some
where!
STRANGE AUDIENCES.
There were three audiences that
greeted NJ Coue. Three times Ire
mont Temple filled up Hike q great
well Of humanity to hear the little
man whose reputation had pre-
ceded him. It was a strange au-
dience. not like any other audience
In the world.
There have been great audiences
gathered everywhere, Of course.
They pack theaters and they jam
auditoriums to greet movie queens
and favorites Of the screen. They
crowd into thoroughfares to see the
famous general, the wonderful
leader, the great statesman. But
such throngs are always of the
well. the young, the vital-the ones
who are either on the threshold of
life or who have emerged trium-
plant from its buffetings. They
are the survivors-not the ones
VINO have fallen by the way and
been cast aside with the single
word, unfit"
It was the reverse Of the picture
in fremont Temple. There were
some well people in the audience, of
course. But to most Of them in
trinity. deformity, suffering and
disease had come Contrasting
strangely with the rosy cheeks of
the few were the gray heads, the
paIIor Of ill-heaIth. the STOPPING
shoulders, the crippled hands, the
deformed arms and legs of the
many. And this was true of every
single lecture.
SIMPLE LITTLE MAN.
When M. COue came. they saw
. simple little man of most unpre.
tentious appearance. They saw q
man with the most winning smile
I'm the world. q smile that . baby
would TRUST, . smile that the aged
Woald lean upon. . smile aE which
. yaexAnb o. would surely wag
