Mr.. L. d. Parker, Jr., returned Fri
day morning from the Good Roads
Meeting at Fremont. Nebraska, of

say in our issue of May l5. The Ere

fold. First to make. some necessary
changes in the Institutions of the
Platte MISREPRESENTATION and the other
to consider the matter OF forming an

complished. The name of the route
has been changed to the Platte Valley

At the vesper service at the Young

day afternoon, at '4:30 o'clock. the
speaker will be Miss Emily s. Hart
we'll who has recently come from
Foochow, China. Miss Hartwell was
born in Foochow, which Is called the
Boston of China, and has lived there
for the past twenty-nine years She
has an interesting story to tell Of recent
events in China, and the effect Of the
revolution upon the Manchu class, espe-
cially the women and girls.
The Manchu dynasty came into power
In China about 30 years ago. and at
that time the Manchu emperor took
many OF the Manchus out OF Manchuria
and scattered them throughout the en-
pire as special guards. They were
really slaves OF the emperor, and COM
PEELED to do military service. but at
the same time were supported by spe-
cial stipends which always caused them
to be especially hated by the Chinese
and In fact was one of the causes Of
the recent resolution. One Of the first
measures Of the new government was
the abolishment of these stipends,
which leaves from three to five mil
lion Manchus without any means of
support
TO help these people. and especially
the women and children, an inter-
denominational industrial work has
been started. of which Miss Hartwell
will speak.
Mrs. Melville D. Lindsay will be the
soloist of the afternoon, and the serv-
ice will be followed by the usual ac-
quaintance hour.

1.-THE National New Thought Center
Is 4 very progressive institution. 1t is
located in the business center of the
city IF and Ninth streets }. thus max
ing il most easy of access Yet its
rooms in the Washington Loan and
Trust building. are at such an eleva-
ton as to exclude all the noise and
confusion of the street The work CT
this center consists in healing and
teaching by the Christ method. 1t has
a circulating library, and reading room,
where daily noon meetings are held.
also Wednesday at p. IN. and class
for children Saturday at i0:3o a. m.
Every method that will best promote
spiritual development Is adopted by
this center. One OF its achievements
is the conversion % one OF its rooms
into a Chamber of Peace.
This room is furnished In white: Wmte
furniture, white draperies. white frames
for the pictures and white bindings for
the books. This room is set apart for
rest, meditation and silent prayer. All
who enter the room are requested not
TO indulge in anger. fear. depression or
any discordant thought whatever. but
to yield themselves wholly TO the in
finite spirit, and to be conscious only
OF His presence and receive His peace.
The need Of such a place OF seclusion
has been fully demonstrated Dy the
number Of people who are seeking such
a haven Of rest, as some one has said:
"You need one place to which YOU can
retire when you feel inclined, and shut
out everything else so long as you de-
sire; you need one place not subject
TO any ones inva sion" 4 place dedi-
Gated to repose will give you repose and
nothing il more needed in this age OF
hurry and frantic effort.
Thousands in their homes have little
or no privacy, where they can with
draw even for a few moments in order
TO rest in the consciousness of the d.
vine love and peace, hence the necessity
for a chamber OF peace" that is open
at all times, to all people. II Is not con-
fined to the use of the members OF the
association, but whosoever will may
enter there; it is free to all, as Whittier
says:
And so ] find IL we'll TO come:
For deeper rest tc this still room:
For here the habit of the soul
Feels less the outer worlds control.
And from the silence multiplied,
BY these still forms on every side,
The world that time and sense has
known,
Falls OFF, and leaves us God alone.
