SERMONETTE.

"seemeth it but a small thing
unto you, that the God of Is
rael hath separated you from the :
congregation of Israel, to bring
YOU near to himself to do the
service of the tabernacle of the s
: Lord, and to stand before the :
congregation to minister unto
them? And he hath brought thee
near to him, and all thy brethren s
! the sons of Levi with thee. And (
seek ye the priesthood aIso?" :
This ninth verse brings be-
fore US two thoughts of deep 8
significance to the Christian (
worker of to-day.
First. The dignity and honor !
, Of any service to which God may {
: call. 4
Second. The wicked presump- ;
ton of coVeting the seemingly !
higher places in Gods service.
Let US consider the first es- Z
I peciaIIy. How glorious is the (
thought of the completeness
with which God has ordered the 6
affairs of his kingdom, so that !
there is a place for every soul, (
a duty for each to discharge, a J
share in the fellowship and bless {
ing of the Lord, and right in ;
/ the end to hear him say: swell 4
done, good and faithful servant. !
Enter into the joy of thy Lord
Never does the question arise 8
as to whether the servant has
wrought in place Of high or low
degree, but as TO how faithful 8
! he has served in the place as {
signed. Never does he ask how !
! much, but how we'll. The cup !
Of cold water given in the name !
} Of the master, receives as high 6
commentator as would the one :
who had ministered kingdom !
In the same name. There is s
} honor at the Lords hands for &
the one who serves in IoWly, OBJ J
{ scure places as we'll as the one !
I to whom greater talents have :
, been given and serves in the ;:
: place of distinction and honor. Z
I The head cannot say to the foot, !
: the body hath no need Of thee, :
3 neither can the foot say to the 6
\ head, thou art nothing to me; !
I will not serve with thee. Each !

Government Figures Low on the
 Burial of Dead Seamen.

Washington, D. C., July 7.--H you are thinking of dying, and you don' ul want your burial to cost much, appiy to the marine hospital service. Tnar branch of the United States govern ment has the cheapest arrangements for this sort of service anywhere ID the world, especially in these days oI coffin trusts.
 The marine hospital service has Juso promulgated It's contracts for the car0 of seamen who are i'll and who may die. The hospital officials make con- tracts for each fiscal year in advance and the present contracts cover tho present fiscal year. At all of the pr1n> cipal cities of the country where sea- men are liable to become sick and pass away, contracts are made with hOspi- tals for subsistence, nursing medical treatment, etc, and with undertakcrD for interment These contracts fro-i quently result in competition in btd~ ding and the undertaken is as much of a business man as any other ooro of citizen.

NEW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH
 RECENTLY DEDICATED IN BOSTON
Beautiful Edifice Has Cost Nearly Two Million Dollars-Higher Than Bunker
 Hill Monument.

Boston. Rising above thereof tops the church spires of the Black Bay district, and reaching height loftier than Bunker Hill monument, looms the magnificent new cathedral of Christian Science, at once the largest, the costliest church edifice in this part of the country and one of the most remarkable church structures in the world. It was dedicated on Sunday, June 10.
 It is two years since the corner stone was laid. and day and night since then more than 300 men have been employed Ito hurry the structure to completion.
 It is 12 years since the first church of this new denomination was built, and 30 years ago in July the first Christian Science was formally or ganized.
 The cathedral adjoins the mother" church, as the one built 12 years ago is called. This is at the junction of Norway and Furmouth streets and ex-

THE PRINCE OF INDIA"
Gen Lew WalIace's Companion Story
 to "Ben-Hur" to Be Staged.

Gen Lew WalIace's Companion Story
 to "Ben-Hur' to Be Staged. Nearly seven years ago, Wednes- day evening, November 29. 1899. the premiere or klaw < Erlanger's great production of ''Ben-Hur." the most successful drama ever presented on the English-speaking stage, occurred at the Broadway tneater. Monday evening, October l, this same firm will present the companion drama to Ben-Hur, Joseph l. c. Clarkes ver- sion of General Lew Wallace's roman tic novel, The Prince of India," at this house for the first time in New York.
 The Prince of India" was present. ed at the Colonial theater in Chicago last February and made tremendous sensation in that city and through out the middle west. It proved to be not only wonderfully powerful dra- matic story, but at the same time the greatest production ever staged in America from the scenic standpoint. For two months 1t played to the ca pacity of the Colonial theater and subsequently, was seen for one month in Pittsburg and Baltimore. In the latter cities its average receipts ex- ceeded $16,000 week. These figures give some conception of the number of people who saw the play in these places.
 The time of the action of "The Prince of India" is the year 1453, and the locale of the scenes is Con- stantinople and the Bosphorus just prior to and during the siege and fall of this historic city under the on- slaught of the Turks, led by Moham- med, the ConQueror. Over this giant struggle between the Christians, led by the last Constantine, and the Turks under Mohammed, General Wallace cast a mystic glow of intro ducing the haunting figure of the Wandering Jew, whose legend has been the riddle of the ages since the great sacrifice on Calvary.
 In General Wallace's story the Prince Is evidently the symbol of the universal desire of man for rest ing place for the soul in a single and pure belief-hence protest against the crimes committed in the course of religious conflict. General Wal lace's handling of the mystic and the human in this strange legendary be- ing Is masterly and Mir Clarke. very cleverly maintains the strength of this character in the play. The Wan derer gives the title both to the book and the play. for 1t is he who appears in these days of impending doom as the marvelously rich and gifted Prince of India. possessing a most commanding influence on the events of the story.
 Beside the characters of the Prince. Mahammed and Constantine, Mir Clarke selected thirty-three other characters from the novel to tell the dramatic story, these including the great historic personality of Princess Irene, heir to the throne of Constan- tine. who. to save her people. becomes the wife of Mahammed, whom she really loves. The real charm of this play lies in its romantic love interest. which rises out of the thunderous clash of two great civilizations In the siege and fall of Constantinople as the thrilling passion of the lovers of Helen rises clear in the stately rhythm of Iliad of Homer with Its tremendous grasp of the conflict of gods and men in the siege of Troy.
