The theme Of last Wednesday even
ing's meeting at the National New
Thought Center, What It means to go
into the Silence" was discussed by a
meeting that overlooked the assembly
room into Miss Gray's private office.
Miss Gray, who led, gave first some of
the Scriptural illusions to the Silence
as the meeting place OF God and the
Spirit of Manor rather the place where
man realizes his oneness with God, and
SO finds Power. Peace and Poise. Among
these are BE still and know that l am
God" I'm quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength" when thou
prayest enter into thy closet and when
thou has shut thy door pray to thy
Father which is in secret" For God
is not in the whirlwind. nor in the
earthquake, nor in the fir, but In the
still small voice"
Miss Gray defined the Silence as the
result OF stilling all desire, all self-ac-
tivity, all demands. denials. and affir-
mations-shutting out the world and Its
activities, however good. and waiting In
Spirit to make itself known-for the
win Of God to become consciously and
definitely plain, and for infinite
strength and love to flow into the In
dividual consciousness and possess 1t.
Attention was called TO the fact that
Silence evolved their Genius. and Mater
iinick, Carlyle. Phillips Brooks, Dress
Ter, and others were quoted to show
how speech dissipates energy too
often, while meditation and silence fos-
ter and bring forth wonderful achieve
ments on all planes-physical. mental
and spiritual.
The topic for discussion on next We'd
nesday will be THE Influence of Our
Unspoken Thought" with special refer
ence TO the atmosphere created by in
dividual character and the extent to
which it makes itself felt. apart from

Disciples

Guy L. Carter, who has recently been
appointed to look after the Sunday
school interests OF the Disciples Of
Christ in the East, will speak at the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church to-
morrow morning during the Sunday
school exercises beginning at $50
o'clock. He will discuss the child and
his periods of unfolding. with the sub
ject matter that ought to be presented
IN each period.
In taklng Genesis and Geology" as
the subject of his sermon tomorrow
morning, the Rev. Earle Wiley, pas
tor of the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church, has chosen a topic that has
perpIexed many minds and that should
appeal to all thoughtful people DR..
Wiley takes the view that the So
called conflict between science and
revelation Is apparent rather than real
and is due largely to misapprehension
on both sides. He believes that the
church should welcome all scientific In
vestigation. The subject Is a big one.
and DR.. Whitley intimates that he may
find IL necessary TO continue its con-
sideration in subsequnt discourses.
The gospel meetings at Fifteenth
Street Christian Church now being
conducted by Rev. John T. T. Humid
ley, of Virginia, are well attended. Ten
persons have confessed Christ. Mr..
Hundley is an attractive speaker and
breaches a vigorous gospel that calls
men TO become lined up in aggressive
Christian work. He will continue TO
preach through next week.
There will be special services on Sun
day. The subject for the morning serv-
ice will be THE Observance OF the
Lords Day" and the subject in the
evening will be The Union OF All
Christians
THE ordinance of baptism will be
observed at the evening service. The
SERMON on The Inspiration of the
Scriptures" last night was especially
helpful The public is cordially in
yfted to all of the services.

The typewriter which she was supposed
to have carried of has been found IN
the matron's quarters In the jail.
These quarters had been used by the
Suffolk County Board OF Elections.
About n month ago quarters for the
Election Commissioners were engaged
elsewhere. 1t was while the books and
papers belonging to the Election Com
missioners' Office were being removed
from the mstron's quarters that the
typewriter was found, covered with
papers. on q shelf.
Ii had been the prevailing opinion thai
some person. who had key to the cor.
ridor doors. let Esther Harris out. or
the n.sht Of her escape, but the finding
of the typewriter has convinced man,
persons that tho door leading from the
matron's quarters, used at that time b,
the Election Commissioners. must have
been left open or unlocked. In thai
case the young woman could have en-
tered the matron's room and goins
through another door, got into the MAR
