be taken later with reference TO their
purchases of sheep and hogs
Cow stuff is q minor item in pack

men say it is for this reason that the

their new ruling. Less than per

INTO THEIR NEW HOME.
second Church of Christ, Scientists.
in Swedenborgian Chapel

The Second Church of Christ.
Scientist which recently purchased
the Swedenborgian church property
on the southeast corner of Sixth ave
nue. and Harrison street, held their
opening services in their new home
Sunday. The property which has a
frontage of so feet is a very desirable
location. The church contemplates
building beautiful church on this
corner in the future
The present church building has
undergone complete transforna-
ton. the inside IS done in three shades
of tan, or coffee color, the dark IN the
panels below shading to cream in
ceiling These are the only colors ex-
cept the wood brown, but the effect is
harmonious with the rich coloTs of
the stained glass windows The
church was beautifully decorated Sun
day with masses of green and hun
dre6s of roses and daisies
The usual Sunday services of the
church were observed with the addi-
ton Of extra music and a brief adj
dress by Mrs Whitaker, the president
of the church, who in the course of
her remarks said:
"Our church was organized Nov
29th, 1901 and held services at the
home Of J. B. Sims, on Buchanan
street. one of the directors. until the
following spring when we rented a
large room at Tor West Sixth avenue,
which we occupied as reading rooms
and for church services for about a
year. When the Smith building was
erected on the corner of Ninth and
Kansas avenue the owner, Mr.. Smith.
came TO US TO see if we would not like
rooms in his building The change
seemed desirable and we moved into
the room los. and as we outgrew that
room Mr. Smith took out the partition.
and we have had the two Nos los and
10 for the last few years. We will
continue to maintain a reading room
at los. and the public viii always be
welcome.
ION the 4th day of last April, hear
ing that the Swedenborgian church
was for sale, meeting of the di-
rectoFs was called and the proposition
put to them to make an offer for the
property. the price of which was ST.
500. 1t seemed like a big proposition
to a little church. but we believe that
God really is 4 present help in the
daily affairs of men. and the board
recommended that the church buy
this properly. although there was not
a dollar of a building fund at the
time At i church meeting held the
It'll the church voted TO buy the
property and subscribed $3.50 at
once The first payment was to be
