Brothers Of the convention, we must
strive after progress. Warwick says:
l will take heed of quenching the
spark and strive to kindle fire. He
never was so good as he should be

Holmes on spiritual progress says:
! find the great thing in this world Is
not so much where we stand as In

sometimes with the wind and some
times against it. but we must sail and
not drift nor lie at anchor

Parson Opens Marrying Office;
1t Pays to ADVERTISE He Says

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. g.
This is the notice which an enter
prising clergyman inserted in a
newspaper recently:
Wanted - Rev. ]. M.

fist church. $50 Eureka ST.,
has opened a downtown Of
flee at Hotel May, across
from the courthouse. Mar
riages solemnized. Anyone
desiring the services of a
pastor invited to call. Phone
Market 2414.
Convinced that the business of
marrying people and saving souls
is one in which success may be
overtaken by up-to-date business
principles, he has adopted a
three-fold slogan, the points of
which are these:
1t pays to be early on the
ground.
1t pays to select a good loca-
tion, and
1t pays to advertise.
81 am a progressive" was the
way DR.. Heady put it, briefly,
when asked, yesterday, about his
scheme.
That DIR. Heady's office is one
which will shortly become
thronged with the matrimonially-
bent is conceded. He will be
right across from the city hall
building, at Eighth and Market
sts., and Cupid" Munson's mar
riage license bureau is on the
ground floor.
"Ill tell you how it is" DR..
Heady explained. "a pastor, to
amount to anything, has got to be
approachable. Now, my little
church attracts just so many peo-
pie. There are thousands Of. 9TH

Promptly at $50 a. m. tomor-
row (Tuesday) morning, conf
mences u annual Xmas Piano
Club sale, an event eagerly look
ed forward to and for which
many piano purchasers have been
waiting. It's our Xmas Offer
ing, and it makes it possible for
you to buy that Piano or Player
Piano at a wholesale price.
COOPERATION,
the element that has made the
Rochedale stores system the
greatest in the world, applied to
piano merchandising, explains
the plan in a nutshell.
This year there are in all one
hundred and seventeen Pianos
divided into four clubs, namely,
"a" 3D." &C." Cd"
These Piano Clubs are in effect
the application of wholesale
principles to the retail depart
ment. 1t is based on communi-
ty-of-interest buying. It's just
as though you got one hundred
and sixteen people to join you
and then sent one man to the
factory to do the buying. Nat
urally, there would be a tremen-
dous saving between purchasing
one hundred and seventeen
Pianos in n lot and buying
singly.
But individuals can't buy
that way-so we step in and do it
for them. And by joining one
of our four clubs (Which are
limited as to members) you are
placed in exactly the same posi-
ton and enjoy the same advan-
tages possessed by the largest
retail dealers.
Join whichever club best suits
your convenience. Make your
initial payment and receive your
Piano at once. That is all there
Is to it--no extras, no red tape,
no dues, no waiting.
AMERICAS FINEST PIANOS
INCLUDED
Do not imagine because the
payments are so very small and
because the prices are so aston
ishingly low that these instru-
ments are not the very finest.
The one hundred and seventeen
pianos reserved for club members
are instruments of the very high
est order. Every n is strictly
brand new and of the very latest
style-fully warranted for a long
term of years.

All reverence was shown in taking these pictures. Men, women
and children who took part in them realized the beauty and solem-
nifty of the great parts they were presenting. The pictures them
selves make the biblical scenes actually live before us. They should
be cut out and preserved in every household where religious feeling
prevails.
In taking these pictures the United States government cooper
to secureof fetal sanction and aid of the authorities in Pales-
tine and Egypt. The works of aminent biblical students and the
paintings of the worlds great artists were studied that every detail
might be accurate, every scene authentic.
