The ProdigaI Son In Song and Story.
Dropping in at the Baptist church
last night | heard the sweet old story
of the Prodigal Son-the story told
me in childhood by my mother, and
the story so often repeated all through
life from every pulpit, but last night l
heard it in a different, more impress
sive way than ever before-in song
and story. The preacher, Rev. A. d.
Sparkman, first read the story from
the old familiar book, and then a
quartette from the choir sang Moth
er's Voice." 1t was a scene of the old
home, the little child pure and trust
ing, the mother singing her lullabys
in old sacred songs, the whole choir
of fifty voices completing the scene
with Home, Sweet Home The pic
ture was perfect; home is where the
heart is, be that home in poverty or
wealth. The preacher continued the
story, telling of the restless heart
yearning for something else, of the
boy, of his request for his part of
the wealth; of his going away" his
wandering in sin, being forsaken by
friends who had sought him for his
wealth, of the degradation, of his
downfall. 1t was all a plaintive word
picture Rev. Sparks here sang
steer for Home" The preacher then
gave the results; of what the poor
wanderer had sown, he was now reap
ing; he was now in a foreign country
in rags, in-disgrace, feeding with the

in need of more food, and then the same
routine is gene over again"
With the first day of the new year
the Salvation army began serving soup
and bread at noon. The first of Feb
iuary the morning meal of coffee and
bread was added also, for the sum OF
g cents.
The large quantities of soup and cof-
fee are prepared each day and are
served without stint. If there is an
extra rush and the food does not hold
out-oh, well, any housewife knows
how she manages that!
So the Salvation army goes on with
It's good work, backed by the people
of the city, who furnish the funds
while the army people do the work and
the hungry get the food. They like
the shepherd of old, serve the ninety
and nine in quest of the hundredth--
the deserving-for whom they are look
ing and to whom they repeat the old,
old story.
In doing this work they not only fur
nish the actual sustenance of life to
the many, but from the spectacular
side furnish a unique place-one res
taurant in the city where the bill of fare
is limited to one price; where the or
ders cannot be doubled; where there
are no tips, and where there is such
demand that there is no possibility OF

Student of Christian Science Declares His People

whole of Christian Science is contained
in the textbook Science and Health

Baker G. Eddy. Many. wholly ignorant
of what this Science is and it's relation
to the Bible, judging from their erro-
neous belief of what it is, object to the
book, supposing it to be used as q sub
stitute for the Bible, or woman's in
depreciation of it. With the aid Of this
book the student can Understand the
word of God and can also prove his
understanding by his works.
No earnest seeker for truth, Chris
tan or unbeliever, over understood the
teaching of Science and Health" but
found it made the Bible positive guide
to eternal life,-not as a mysterious or
acle, but in the wondrous light of the
spirit of Truth it becomes a living
Word, enabling him to see how to obey
all the Masters commands, how TO put
off the old man" and become the son of
God, In the present realization that man
is the child of God, and therefore can
not be the child of error.

Christian Science is unlike the men,

that employ the human Will or mind.
The Christian Scientist can do moth

he realizes the supreme control OF the
one infinite Mind as the only causa-
ton and source of action, resulting in
conscious harmony. His Master said,

Father hath taught me-" so must his
true followers be taught of Spirit and

When you decide to give Christian

from the standpoint of Christian char

stage, and all the men and women
merely players; they have their exits
and their entrances, and one man in
his time plays many parts"
So this is but part of the experience,
sans money, sans ease, sans style. sans
everything but food, and to the men
who stand an hour or more for bowl
of soup food seems to be pretty much
in their minds. Out from the culture
of the man of refined tastes. standing
side by side with the professional hobo,
comes the primitive call for food.
And for this want grand work is
being done for the needy in serving
coffee and soup daily at the headquar-
tiers of the Salvation Army on San
Pedro street, under the general super
vision of Major White.
Cant. Norton has charge of the cul-
mary department, assisted by c. w.
Holman Candidate for army official
honors), Alfred Reid and John Allen.
Can't. Norton is the economical pur-
chaser of the provisions served from
the funds gratuitously furnished to the
cost of about $40 per week. G. 5. Hol-
man keeps an eagle eye out to main
tain order and if man transgresses
the rules and regulations he is quietly
reprimanded and if man knowingly
beats ahead of his place In line he is
rushing the lines there and all are
served alike.
For all this work and responsibility
Capt. Norton receives the weekly sum
of IS, while Mr.. Holman receives 50
and the two assistants $3.50 each.
I'VE are not working for money for
ourselves" said Capt. Norton, but for

System Maintained
"System, even in serving soup, must
be maintained. If man calls for an
extra bowl, even though he has the 2
cents for 1t, we refuse to serve him
the second time, for it would make the
other man feel uncomfortable. Two
cents is the limit of our bill of fare,
with no tipping. although there is little
need of that rule, for most of the poor
fellows are glad to get one bowl of
soup.
