lutte faith in the doctrines of Jesus Christ.
and in living according to the rules OF
Christian Science as laid down by Mrs.
Eddy.
The communion service is also a little
out of the ordinary, as it consists of a few
minute of silent communion, during which
the congregation kneels, and Is followed
by the Lords prayer aloud by the entire
depreciation of the same from Mrs. Eddy's
book by the female reader.
The service began yesterday with singing
by the choir and the congregation On

for readings from the Bible was: 1.-The

the following letter from Rev. Mary Baker

separate these sessions from the excite

days.
In metaphysics we learn that the strength
of peace and of suffering is sublime, a true,
tried mental conviction that is neither
tremulous nor relapsing. This strength is
like the ocean, able to carry navies, yet
yielding to the touch of a finger. This peace
is spiritual. never selfish. stony or stormy,
but generous, reliable. helpful and always
at hand.
Peace. like plain dealing. is somewhat
out of fashion. Yet peace is desirable, and
plain dealing is a jewel as beautiful as the
gems that adorn the Christmas ring pre-
scented to me by my students in 1897. Few
blemishes can be found in a true character,

aid while It has probably actually lost
nothing by its loans. the law of foreclos-
ure in Nebraska is at present such as
to make business unsatisfactory. This
law, in brief, permits a borrower who has
defaulted in interest to stave off. by a
series of appeals to the courts, execution
and foreclosure for a period of four years,
and can in the meantime occupy the prop
erty m%ortgaged without paying a cent Of
interest or rent. The most glaring defect,
according to loan agent and business
men. is the failure of the law to provide
that a bond shall be given to cover the
use of the property while the case is pend
irg in court. Such an amendment was
proposed at the last session of the legisla-
ture. but the Populist majority opposed it.
When his remedy is effected. the North
western announces its readiness to re-
turn.

Charlie Jones Tells of How q New

w will begin grading for the railroad
line from Sapulpa to Oklahoma City dur

road" said Charles Jones, the president Of
the company, at the Coates House yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Jones has been one Of
the foremost workers for internal devel-
opment of Oklahoma since he located In
Oklahoma City and built his big Touring
mill shortly after the opening and long be-
fore he had any title to the land on which
the mill stood.

1.-The millers Of the Southwest have com

18th of January it Is to leave Port Arthur.
and l have been chosen as one of the COM
mittee to go to Hamburg with 1t and re-
port on the advisability of future heavy
shipments to that port We have no doubt
the shipment will be highly successful and
we will develop a market for our products
that will be of great advantage to Western
milling interests"
Mr.. Jones was formerly president of the
Southwestern Winter Wheat Millers' Asso-
/ citation, and represented that organization
at the last session of congress in trying to
obtain a reciprocity treaty with the Span
ish dependencies near us. He Is a great
supporter of that plan of reciprocal trade
relations and wants the great market for
wheat products that 1t gave before and
would give again. He says the acreage
of winter wheat in Oklahoma Is very large,
more than last year. and the condition
at present Is all that could be desired. He
left for home last evening.
oklahoma will never again have the
hard times 1t has experienced in the past
said Mr.. Jones. I'VE have such a diversity
of products that in human probability all Of
them will not fail the same year. Our or
chards are numerous and will hereafter
make heavy yields. Last year We made big
money OUT Of peaches. and II was really
the first crop. With our wheat, corn, cot
ton, fruit. hogs and cattle we can look to
the future with assurances of continual
rewards for all who toll and expend their
energies wisely"

FROM the Boston Globe.
When nearly 200 people Join a church at
one time. as has been the case in the
Christian Science church at Falmouth and
Norway streets, Back Bay, within the past
few days, attention is at once challenged.
And when ii was said that the total men,
bership Of this church yesterday was near
ly 1900. curiosity is aroused as to what it
all means.
Such are the facts. however, in connec-
ton with the membership of the First
church Of Christ, Scientists it is called
and yesterday the edifice was crowded at
both the morning and afternoon
ion services, largely with the 2,4W new
members, who had come from all over the
United States and some Of them even from
Italy, England and Chile, to be present on
this occasion.
The regular parishioners of the church by
request stayed away largely for the pur-
pose of giving the new members a better
opportunity to take part in the services,
otherwise the streets in the vicinity would
undoubtedly have been thronged yester-
day.
These communion services are held twice
each year in this church. and they are
regarded by Christian Scientists as rare
events; first, because this is the mother
church, and secondly, because it is not un-
usual for the mother of the church." Rev.
Mary Baker Eddy, to address a few words
of pious cheer and hope to her disciples and
followers.
And this she did yesterday in a letter.
which was read by Judge Hanna from the
pulpit at both services. and which will be
found below.
For several days pilgrims and those who
desired membership in the mother church
bave been coming to Boston, as has been
said, from all over this country and even
from foreign countries. and yesterday all
of these persons gathered at the church
there being about 1900 persons at each
service.
The church is in some respects extreme
ly picturesque inside. 1t is admirably
lighted with stained glass windows and
with an overhead oval window of peculiar
design. The pulpit or platform was dec
GRATED with flowers. evergreens. palms and
potted plants, and what with the splendid
music and the large congregation Ii was
both picturesque and impressive.

unique features. For instance. In the pull

in solemn dignity, are two persons. the

doctrine. which has made such rapid
