She visits and prescribes for them in the regular manner. ‘When I was so ill in 1879 that it was not believed possible I could ever recover I lay in a darkened room suffering the most exquisite pain constantly and so weak I could not speak alove a whisper. I was told of the cures in answer to prayer by Mrs. Edward Mix. She was a colored lady of Wolcottsville, Conn., and simply professed to be doing God’s work in an earnest, humble way. She had herself been healed by the laying on of hands by a Rev. Mr. Allen of Spring- field. The more I thought of her the more I felt that a letter must be written to her on my account. Mrs. Mix wrote me and said I should be heal. 3 lghttout ofdbed and begin to walk by fallhf‘ed g me was tempted to smile at her words, but my cons: me for my lack of faith and I beran to pray. 1ymsm1§éee'$c:xfe£3&er§ and discontinued all medicine though it was ¢ great struggle, as 1 was dependent upon them for temporary relief from my pain.

Directly -after, with a little support from my nurse, I walked a few steps to my chair. During _he same hour a decided change was perceptible in my color, circulation and pulse, and I could talk aloud with ease. In a few weeks I recovered entirely. Again last autumn I was ill, very ill indeed, and my friends and family almost despaired of my recovery. I would not yield and call a physician, but put myself entirely in His hands. I was too ill to see even my own little daughter, every sound was a pain to me. I prayed and my dear brothers and sisters in the faith prayed for me and with me. I was healed. I had been very weak and wretched when all at once, like an electric shock, a wave passed over me and 1 rose up rejoicing. I went about my duties and was well, cured by the divine will of the Great.Physician. . I take all my authority from our dear Savior's own words and try to believe them just as he said them. We are not apt to accept the Bible as literally as we ought. We get into a dangerous habit of considering its exhortations as in a great degree figyrative or gacredly poetic or as relating to past generations and not to our own. It is written, “For the promise is unto you and to your children, and to all that are afar off.” St. Peter is speaking of the gift of the Holy Ghost, and none who have felt the wonderful power which, in answer to the “prayer of faith,” gives healing to soul and body, can doubt that it is the power of the Holy Spirit, promised to all ages and to all generations. There are many who refuse to give credence to faith cures because, as they assert, “the age of miracles is past.” He has done it in the past and I iMRS. CARRIE JUDD MONTGOMERY. WAS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE RESPONSIBLE FOR and grsnting the facts_to be as above set forth, whether or not there 15,33_\- law or statute by which the Christian Scientist could be pun- ishe, _ Christian Science per se has never been legislated against in this State and'recourse must hence be had to the general laws and statutes to determine whether the facts in the Frederic case can e brought within. their purview.

Section 192 of ‘he Penal Code defines manslaughter as ‘‘the unlaw- ful- kiiling -of a human being without malice.” It is of two kinds; & uartel or heat of passion. or in'the commi duce death an unlawful manner or without caution and circum- spectian. As no-“act” whatev r is performed by the Christian Scientist this section would appear also to be inappliccble. There is, to be sure, a statute in this Stat- (section 400 of the Penal Code) to the effect that “every p-rson who deliberately aids or advises or encourages another to commit suicide is guilty of a felony,” and although one sense th ‘hristian Scieutist may be said to have 1eliberately ascisted Frederic in “shufling off this mortal coil,” still as the last thing either of them had In - iev: was Harold Frederic's demise and nothing was presumably said by either concerning suicide, this statute coul. scarcely apply. In fine it is my opinion that there is o law in this State which reaches this case. Had Frederic been judicially declared insane or had he been a minor, his guardian or his parents could be punished fo- depriving him of proper medical treatment but being sane and an adult he had a constitutional right, so to speak, to go down to the grave without the interve.tion nf‘a pl.lysicl.'.m .

Of all the strange records which have | been set up that for kissing must be | | reckoned among the strangest; and it is certainly a fact that serious at- tempts have been made at times to accomplish big kissing feats, and that some of them have met with a large measure of success. Lancashire people are much given to organizing odd competitions and making strange wagers, and, there- fore, perhaps .the folks in one small Indeed, most of us managed to | different | to in the coynty Palatine were not surprised when a male individual of their number came forth with a chal- lenge to the effect that he would kiss anybody for an hour for $20 a side and give his opponent fifty start. The challenge was promptly taken up, and then a set of rules were drawn out which were to govern this curious competition. Two judges wer> ap- pointed, and it was decided that no kiss should count as a good one which was not distinctly heard, and that the lips should be properly closed for each kiss. Five faulty Kisses in succession were to disqualify the competitor. When matters had been settled thus far a serious difficulty presented itself in that, eithe. because of modesty or fear, nobody could be found who would undergo all the kissing. When, how- ever, it was decided that the ]ad).' kissed by the winner should receive $3 from the stakes many came forwac and two were selected who patiently underwent the operation. The challenger commenced business and, kissing in very good form, wound up with a score of a little over 1800 for the hour. His opponent then essayed the task of beating this figure, rate. He | and started off at a great seems, however, not to have husbanded his forces with sufficient care, for he | soon fell off badly, and after thirty-five | Tinutes. with only 700 to his credit, he came to a full stop quite exhausted. A young German living at I\l_unh‘h has also been trying to set up a kissing | record, and though he did ndt quite accomplish all he wished to do he nevertheless did surprisingly well. The | conversation at a party turned upon | kissing and some one remarked that the | familiar phrase, “ten thousand Kisses,” | so often appended to lovers' letters, | could only be a rhetorical flourish, and that nobody would really be able with- in a reasonable time to accomplish such a feat. However, this young Teuton, who was engaged, boldly undertook, with the consent of his betrothed, to print 10,000 kisses upon her fair lips in ten hours, stipulating only that he might be allowed a very brief interval for re- freshments every half-hour. Some ladies might resent such a condition as being ungallant, but this one con- sented, and when umpires had been appointed, the p-oceedings began. For some time it looked as if the kissed would do the trick. The score stood at 2000 at the end of the first hour, and though only 1000 were added in the second hour his prospects still looked good. In the third hour, how- ever, the proce:dings came to an abrupt and unpleasant conclusion, for at the 750th kiss the operator’s lips be- came paralyzed and he lost conscious- ness. —_————————— | Spaniards have a weakness for pro- | verbs.
