familiar, liut very few trouble to dive
deeply into the uiyslcrics id' "umlcnlugy '
yr ure uwerc that thi'le Is Ma ll a science
Nevertheless it is u fact, und hub worth
knowim:. that every tiiolo has its own
peculiar signification, and in bygone days
wheu sorcerers and witches exercised I
their manic arts, to the peril of their
lives, before casting a shell on any one
they were always careful to find out al
particulars concerning their moles, oi
whether they had any or nut, for some of
these apparcnlly useless discoloratious
were supposed tu preserve a person from
drowning, others from lite and so forlh,
and it was therefore necessary to know
against what particular element ihcy
were proul before practicing their witch
craft on them.
The following ure some of the inter-
pretaiions placed upon moles by the old
inagieiaus and may interest those of our
readers who happen to bo marked with
auy ol these ''beauty spots."
A mule on lie) right side of the fote
head, or on the light temple, signilns
sudden wealth and boners, and one
the tight eyebrow marriage with a y r
sotiul cuiisidi ralile lortuue and an amia
ble di-nosition; but a mule on the left ul
either of llicse places is a sina that th
person will be lrci leutly near the best el
luck, but bv some unfortunate chain ul
circumstances will invariably meet with
di-appuintuicut le lore attaining it.
A mole on either cheek loretcils dial
the person will never rise above the
mediocre in fame or fortune, although lo
never fall into poverty, and oue that
Is placed ou the outside curlier ol eittnr
eve denotes that the bearer thereof will
lie in danger of a violent deaili.
A mole ou the nose gives success in
busiue.-s aud especially in undertakings
f n speculative or gambling nature
ither lip it is the sute indication ol
pieure, on the chill it denotes prosperity
ami the esteem of ones liiends, aud
the throat ih.it the person
will become
rich by tnarii ige.
In spite uf the old rhyme above (ii t-
ed, a mole on (he neck does not brin.
money by peeks, but shows that tin

A mole on the liviht side, over the

dicates sloth, iiluttntiy, selfishness and
carelessness in dress.
A mole ou either hip foitells a fami-

as also by the jealousy of olheie, on the

the left knee a certain amount of suf-
fi ring caused by one's own foolish cull-

A mole on til lu-r leo below the kmc

We must not forget also the adapt
and c lui of the tnoh.s, because each wi'l
add to or diminish the force of the indi
cation. 1 lie larger the mule the greater
the prosperity or adversity it brings, the
smaller, the less will be the good or evil

The Kev. Madison Daniel introduced
the leetuier, saying that he had been a
church member fur a great mauy years
and had tried and was still trying to do
what goud he could in the cause of the
Master, and whilst he had never stud
died the subject to be lectured on, be
was always willing and ready to receive
auy information to improve in the ser
vice of (Jod and suffering humanity, aud
he therefore asked earnest aud prayerful
attention to the lecture.
Mrs. Davis theu stepped to the front
and was greeted with applause by her

And lie plainly tells us that if we be

I hese are the words uf ihe great Teacher

Jesus Chiist. And He tells us in St.
Mail's gospel, that we shall partake of
Jeadly poison and shall take up the scr

out away the Comforter would not come,
and I declare unto you that he has long

Comforter in ihe person of Hev. Mary

The K-v. Mary Baker 11. KJdy this
inspired demonstrator and writer of our
text book, "Science mid Health with
key to the Scriptures," she is God's ap
puiuttd and aniiuinted, she is a woman
after God's own heart and well deserves
the remembrance and love of the nations.
The Hev. M iry Maker G. Kddy is n
woman of good und not evil, us some has
said of her, but regardless uf all that has
been mid, she, with her unselfish loW
for God and suffering humanity, has been
enabled to discover, and offer to the
world, the true Christian religion, that
and happiness, instead of sorrow and
those of you who will accept this truth
and live its teachings, it will give you
eternal life.

Then why not accept his salvation and
lay off your burdens of sin, disease aud
death. 1 dun t ask you to leave your
churches, 1 simply ask you to turn Irom
the Lie of belief of Life in matter, and
accept the true Gospel of Truth which
declares your life tu be in God, and he is
all in all, und after you have accepted
this Christian Truth us taught and de
monstrated by the christian Scientists,
yuu can then he governed by the dicta
tion ul your own conscience. Some of
you may desire to take hold ol this truth,
but yuu hesitate because seme member of
yuur family or some old fiieod may ridi
cule you. You may say many things
agaiust Christian Science and lis teach
ings but Jesus tells us on page 21 3 in
"Science and Health with key to the
Scriptures" by Hev. Mary G. Kddy.
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS.
II the world hate you, ye know it
hated me before it hated you, but, La! I
am with you always, uot ouly at all
times, hut in all ways and c onditions.
Now, if God is fur us, who can be agaiust
us? since God is all in all. Dear friends,
hesitate no longer, but take what is offer
ed as sent Irom tmil, and lur conscience
sake, be linn, be faitblul, desert not the
right, the brave, but become bolder the
darker the uiglit.
Then up and be doing.
Though couuuiles may fail
Thv duty piiisiiing,
Dare nil and prevail.
If sin be your portion,
If hated und loss,

death has no place nor power amongst

you get the understanding of this eternal
life through Christian Science religion,
which heals all manners of diseases, it
heals morals as well, and the spiritual
uplifting is most marvelous, that eouirs
with ihe healings Christian Science
teaches man his birthright, it always
gives him his dominion since God is the
father and mother of all living, God
man in His image and likeness, iu the
image ot tiud made He them male and
female, God gave man dominion over the
faith the fish of theses and the fowls of

the healing is done or what produces the
cure?
IIIIU' THE SICK All K IIEAI.EH.
It is done by ihe power of mind over
the body, by denying the belief of sick
ness and sin, and by declaring for lh
Alines of God, and holding the sick in
th" thn'ighi "t p'-rii-eii'in whi'-h i p?
ery man's birthright, and by living very
near to God ourselves, the sick and sin
ful are healed antl mule to rejoice. Chris
tian Science is not spiritualism, uiesmcr-
ism, hypnotism, neither Is it auimal mag
netism, but it clothes men in their right
minds It is the power of God over
evil and love over hate, because man is
the offspring ol the spirit, the beautiful,
pure und good constitute his ancestry,
Ins origin is not like that ot mortal in
brute iustiuct, nor does he pass through
material condition prior to reaching in
telligence. Spirit is his primitive and ma
terial source of being and God ia the
father.
THE POWER OF TRUTH OVER ERROR.
If Chiistianity is not scientific and
science is not Christian, then there is no
immeasurable need of right, and truth be
comes an accident. Shall it be denied
that a system which works according to
the scriptures, has scriptural authority?
Uhristian Science awakens tbe sinner
reclaims the infidel, and raises from the
bed of pain the helpless invalid. It
speaks to the dumb the words of truth
first to disown the arguments of pood
works, whin our Master says "By their
fruits ye shall know them," meaning his
disciples.
liliMANllS OF LOVE.
Christian Science lias one faitb, one
Lord and one baptism; and this baptism
is the piirili"aiioii of mind, not an absolu
tion of I lie buily, but tears of repentance
and sulT' ring love, washing away the
motives for sin, yea, it is love letting self
for God. The cool bath may relresh tho
body or as compliance with a religious
rite may decline one's belief; but it com
mit purify his mind or meel the demands
of love, winch is (i"d. It teaches us lo
love God with our whole heart, and
our neighbor us ourselves, it is
the bapti-m uf spiiit, that washea
our robes und makes them white
in the blood of the lamb, that bathes us
in the life of Truth, and the Truth of
life, having one Lord we shall not be
idolaints, dividing our homage and obedi
ence between mailer and spirit, but shall
wurk out our uwu salvation alter the
model id' our Father.
NO IIEAI.INll IN SIN.
Who never pardons the sins that de
serves to be punished, and can be de
stroyed only through suffering. Chris
tian Science teaches us to "Do unto all
men as we would have ihem do to you,"
which is brotherly love, as Jesus taught
utiJ demonstrated. And how beautifully
our Leader and mother takes up the

St. Paul tells us iu I Cur. to let his mind

us to be perfect as our Father which is in
Heaven is perlcet. 1 would like to
speak of my own healing, perhaps some
one would like to bear, and you all know
me so well, and have known me bo long,
and you know what I was when I left
your midst, near sighted to almost blind
ness, aud a hie long snuff dipper, I loved
it as a drunkard thinks he loves his glass,
but 1 was healed of the desire for it, in
Christian Science, and at the same time
I was healed of short sightedness. I was
examined by au oculist who told me that
my sight was injured fur life, I must wear
glasses alwajs aud that I would be com
pelled to have the glasses changed ever;
three months uutil 1 reached the age of
45. I am now 41 years old, I have my
health, strength and sight of my youth.
1 have not tasted siiull, nor have I had
the least desire for it either. I have not
words to express niy gratitude to God and
our beloved Mother and Leader of this
grand and glorious Christian truth, and
I feel so grateful to my beloved healer
who is a loyal Christian Scientist of First
Church ol Chrisiiau Scimlist, New Y'ork;
City. She is so true and reflects so much
love for the patients, and to all who come
in contact with her, after looking in her
beautiful face that was so shown by the
reflection of Divine love, after listening
to her rending from our text book "Sci
ence and Health with key to the scrip
tures." THE Till B REFLECTION OF LOVE.
Then the assurance of truth and love
dawned upon me and I at once accepted
the cummand ot the poet:
He up and be doing,
Though comrades may fail,
Thy duty pursuing,
Hale all and prevail.
.Many mighty meu are lost,
lianng not to stand,
Who for llod had been a host,
liy joining Daniel's band.
Then dare to be a Daniel,
Hare to stand alone,
Dure to have a purpose firm,
Or dare to make it known.
I thank you for your attention.
