The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-09-25

Like the fairies Of cid,
Waiting downward in flight
And there's peace In the street
or this quaint little town,
For there's gladness in hearts
Meath the boughs that bend down.
There the gold maddened world
Is unknown to the one,
Basking glad in the Joy,
OF the rest he has won.
In the city's thronged streets.
In the strain of the strife,
There are thousands who long
For the natural life.
In their dreamland they float
Long the turnpike and down
To the queer little street,
In the quaint little town.
In the sweet bye and bye,
When our hopes all come true,
We may live in the street
Where the skies are so blue.
Though we falter and fail
In the race of the fleet
There Is comfort in dreams
OF the queer little street.
Thus we sing of the niche
In the town we love best.

sect. They need to be understood as
following the divine principle God love
and not imagined to be unscientifc
worshippers of a human being.
SIN the article of which l have seen
only extracts, Mark Twain's wit was not
wasted in certain directions. Christian
Science eschews divine rights in human
beings. If the individual governed hui

Christian Science would be disproved, but
to understand the spiritual idea is es-
sential to demonstrate science and its
pure monotheism-one God, one Christ,
no idolatry, no human propaganda
Jesus taught and proved that what feeds
a few feeds all. His life work subor-
dinated the material to the spiritual,

A GOOD STOP.
Firemen Quickly Put Out a Blaze
Last Night.

From Fridays Daily.
Fire was discovered issuing from the
roof of the frame building just south of
John Klein & Co.'S furniture store a few
minutes before ten o'clock last night, and
an alarm was turned in from box So.
The fire was evidently started by the
burning out of the chimney at the rear,
the flue being clogged with SCOT. 1t was
necessary to turn on stream of water,
which soon extinguished the fire, al
though it was in difficult place to reach.
The firemen, as usual, made a splendid
stop.
The building is owned by L. G. M.
Fletcher, and Polchow's barber shop is
located on the first floor, while the Sec
ond floor is let to roomers. Mr.. Bean, an
employee of Geo. Atchison, had the room
nearest to which the fire broke out.
The damage to the building is about
500, from fire and water, while the in
surance is about 5000. The damage was
largely confined to the upper part of the
rear end.

MINISTERS MEET INFORMALLY
To Discuss Religion, Social Civic
and Educational Questions.

The meeting of the Ministerial AS
ISOLATION of Savannah in the gentle
mans parlOr of the De Soto, at noon
next Monday will be a new departure.
1t was agreed at the last meeting that
all business of the associa ton should
be transacted as heretofore, on the
Monday after the first Sunday in each
month, and that an informal meeting
be held on Monday after each third
Sunday to which all the clergy of
the city be invited.
! These meetings will be a sort of open
parliament for devotion and general
discussion. To attend them, and take
part in the devotions and discussions
will in no sense require a minister to
be a member of the Ministerial Asso-
citation or in anyway make him respon-
sible for the action or work of the
association.
A committee has been appointed to
arrange for speakers, and subjects in
advance. There will be a variety of
subjects discussed on the general lines
of religion, and christianity, and social,
civic and educational questions.
Some of the ministers in the city,
who are not members of the Ministerial
Association. have expressed a desire for
such meetings and it is to meet their
desire that the meetings have been
provided for For the time being, at
least, the president of the association
will preside, but any action taken at
these meetings will be entirely indie
pendent of the Ministerial Association.
