The first train under the new time
card and double train service of the
Northern Pacific will arrive in Butte
from the East at sos o'clock this even
ing, and the first through train, No. 3,
which will run by the way of Butte,
will reach this city, westbound, at 1:25
tomorrow morning The first through
train from the west by way of Butte,
under the new schedule, will be No. 4,
due in Butte at % =. M. on tuesday.
The Northern Pacif2 will carry the mail
from the East, destined for Butte, on its
night and day trains which commenced
leaving ST. Paul yesterday, arriving in
Butte one hour ahead of the Great
Northern.
The slight change announced on the
Great Northern by which the time or its
flyer of its run to Seattle will be reduced
nearly one hour, will not affect its ar
rival time in Butte, as the reduction Will
be made mostly on the kalispell and
Cascade division west of Spokane. The
train will arrive in spokane 10 minutes
earlier than under the old schedule and
will be due in Seatte a. minutes earlier.
The indications al that lively rate

FAITH IN CHRIST"
Rev. j. NJ. Settles Sermon at the Metho-
dist Church.


Faith in Christ was the subject of
Rev. ]. NJ Settle last evening in the
South Methodist church. He spoke as
follows:
THE world moves. 1t moves smoothly
for a century. Then comes an epoch
possibly in five years it makes more Wis
ible advancement than in the preceding
100 years But the former were years Of
preparation.
THE coming of Christ was the one
event in the worlds history. Faith in
Christ has been the most potent factor
in the worlds advancement. Wherever
this faith has gone that nation has be-
come nation of schools and colleges, of
culture and refinement. We are accus-
toned 10 repeat: What, therefore. God
hath Joined together, let no man put asun-
der Even little observation reveals the
fact that faith In Christ and intelligence
with ali that accompanies hath been duly
and truly Joined together
Faith is rational, must be so in its
very nature. There Is no such thing as
blind faith. Walking by faith is not walk

COMPANY C WILL CONTINUE.
Pioneer Militia Organization of st.
Paul Not to BE Allowed to Lapse.

Company c, of the Thirteenth regiment,
took steps to organize and become COM
pany of the new First regiment, at a
meeting held last night in the armory.
The matter was thoroughly discussed In
q meeting which was attended by thirty
two members of the company and num-
Der OF the members of the old militia
company, and 1t was decided to hold an
other meeting JAMS, at which the details
of the organization will be completed.
A proposition was backed by a number
of the company men to organize as c.
company Of the Thirteenth regiment, and
then petition Gov. Lind to muster in the
company unoer this title. The plan was
defeated, however. The matter was set
tied by an agreement to the effect that
the new company shall take in all the
members who served in the Philippines
the old members and those who were pre-
vented from sharing in the foreign cam
paign. 1t was definitely decided to re-
organize as Company of the First reg
iment
The decision was largely influenced by
a desire to preserves the title under which
the old st. Paul guards, the first military
organization of the state, enlisted for serv-
ice in the Civil war. The honorable rec
ord Of the company in the past made 1t
desirable TO perretuate 1t unbroken. This
10 IIOW POSSlOlc, even lilOuSn the COM
pany is in manner disorganized, because
of the fact that at the opening of hos
tilities and the organization of c COM
papy Of the Thirteenth, the adjutant gen.
eral of the national guard issued orders
granting the company indefinite leave of
absence This is sufficient to continue
the company organization until the plan
of entering the new First regiment can
be carried out.
The members of the company remem-
bered their companions who remained in
service in Luzon and voted to send the
three, Privates Kelly. Gowling and Cor
don, a Christmas box, with the good
wishes Of those at home A committee
consisting Of Messrs. Hazenwinkle, Lyons
and Cochran was appointed to solicit
funds and purchase the contents for the
box.
There is a strong probability that the
old officers Of the company. Capt. Noyes
c. Robinson, Lieut.. Clarence Bunker and
Lieut.. James Snow, will continue in COM
mand upon the reorganization.
