Quoted Divine Worship Sunday Evening
In IA Unique Manner.

Columbia, Mo-, May 10.-The most
unique church service ever held in
this section was conducted Sunday
evening by Rev. W. T. Moore, dean
OF the Missouri Bible college. DR..
Moore was able to fill his pulpit in
the regular manner in the morning,
but in the evening, the rain descending
in torrents, made it impossible to
hold services. Some member, living
near the church, suggested that serv-
ice be held by telephone. The sugges-
ton was at once acted upon. and DR..
Moore stepped into telephone booth
and called for the party line. on which
most of the members had phones, and
told OF the intention.
The meeting began at eight O'Clock
with the singing of hymn. all OF the
members singing into their respective
phones. An organ, placed near the
preachers phone, furnished the music,
and from the time Of the opening all
of the members on the line paid closest
attention to the services. The only
feature omitted besides the usual serial
gossip had after the service, was the
taking up of the collection.

SEAL OF CHINESE DYNASTY.
Gold Gathered nv Hand Over 1000 Years
Ago--Ofrercd for Sale In San Francisco
for Paltry sum.

San Francisco. May 10-A massive
gold seal, worth intrinsically $4,000 and
one of the priceless treasures OF an
ancient Chinese dynasty, has been Oh
fered for sale in this city to local
smelling company. Word was sent
from there to the Chinese consul gen.
eral. He dec!phered the worn inscrip-
tions upon 1t and declared that 1t was
one of the most valuable relics OF an
ancient Chinese dynasty. He said that
the gold came from the great range
of the Khinga mountains and the sands
of the Cobb desert and was gathered
by hand from the rocks and channels
more than 1000 years ago.
Melted and refined into solid mass,
the artisans of those ages carved the
inscriptions upon the gold that have
formed the official seal of the dynasty
for thousands of years, until more mod
err times and a greater sway caused
a new imperial seal to be developed.
Then the seal was delegated to the
nearest nephew of the emperor as his
official signature. The seal was subse-
duently withdrawn from sale by its
present owner, who claims to have
picked 1t up in China. 1t Is said the
Chinese consul general has guaranteed
the payment of $4,000 for 1t, which ~
twice its intrinsic value if melted up.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 10.-The at
titudc of the Roman Catholic church
