FILLED WITH MACHINERY.

The new building is not only one of
the most beautiful in the country, inte-
rior and exterior. but the mechanical
contrivances are wonders Of ingenuity.
The building and equipment cost over
5000 900. The lobby Of the building
alone cost $400,on0.
The idea carried out in the construc-
ton. arrangement. and equipment of the
establishment has been, not alone to
provide a handsome structure. but
magnificent workshop for the employees,
in which the latest and best ideas as to
workshop apparatus would be put into
effect.
Something like a mile Of mechanical
conveyors are utilized in the building
for the carriage and handling of the
mails. The array OF canceling ma
chimes is a large one. The facilities for
handling the parcels post business are
extraordinary, Postmaster Praeger be-
ing an enthusiast on this subject.
Handsome rest rooms are provided for
the employees, among other things. One
of the remarkable features Of the new
building is that the roof, instead Of be-
ing of the usual pattern, is jagged like
the teeth of a saw. This keeps half
| the roof in light and half in shade all
! the time. Thus, the building is at once
| cooler in summer than the ordinary

IS there is no longer any need of mira.
Cles as an evidence of the truth of
Christianity: the good effects OF re-
Jisious teachings are sufficient evidence
that the Christian religion is true

physical healing accomplished by the
Early Christians was only for the pur-
pose of establishing the truth OF CHRIS

A person gains nothing by assuming
there are abundant evidences OF the
truth Of Christianity and that first
proofs are no longer necessary, whereas
he would gain mich by contendlng for
the faith that was once delivered unto
the saints
Jesus declared that he could do moth
ing Of himself. Whatever was accom-
T,lished was the work of God. Is it not
evident that he considered the healing
of sickness as divinely natural as the
healing of sin? He commanded His
students to heal the SILK and cast cut
this command was faithfully adhered
10 until mortal belief substituted ma

The Masters works were uliSinter-
preted because the people failed to un-
derstand how they were accomplished

cussed and discussed on every

make an effort to have the Sisse-
ton plan carried out in the event
license carries at the city cleo
tiOn. 1t is contended that a mu-
nicipal saloon would bring an an
nual revenue of at least S16 900,
which. under the SissetOn plan,
would be divided into two funds,
one for good roads and the other
for municipal improvements.

Good Friday Closing
This Request Was Made by the House
Of Bishops Of the Episcopal
Church.

An open letter to the business
men of Milbank
At the last general convention
Of the Episcopal church, the
House of Bishops adopted the
following resolution:
"RESOLvED, That we recognize
with sympathy the inability of
many christian people to share
in the age-long custom of setting
apart Good Friday" as a day of
public and private devotion in
commemorative of the sacrifice
of our Lord. In view of this
fact we call upon them at noon
on that day to unite in at least a
few minutes of special personal
contemplation of Christ cruel
fed
The motive and meaning of the
resolution is seen in our common
customs. When president of
Uuited States dies, during his
term Of Office, at the time of his
funeral there is general cessa-
ton of business for a few nom
ents throughout the country; the
country is silent out of respect
for his memory. When the pre-
sident Of a great railway system
dies there IS a cessation of busi-
ness in it's shops, offices and on
the whole railway system for a
few minutes at the hour of his
funeral, the system is silent out
of respect for his memory. The
veterans of the grand army OBJ
serve few minutes silence at
noon on Memorial Day in com
memoration OF the death of their
comrades. 1t is the worlds way
of showing respect. There is no
expression of recognition or COM
memoration Of the sacrifice and
death of the worlds Savior by
the great christian world. 1t
observes christmas in recogni-
tion of his birth; it very largely
~ observes easter in cOmmemOr-
alton of his resurrectlon: the
church has it's Eucharist and its
Good Friday services; but for
multitudeS Of people who call
themselves christians. who be-
lieye in Christ, who honor his
memory and trust in his atoning
death, there is no expression or
commemoration of his death
which at all corresponds with
that of his birth ard resurrec-
ton.
Will not the business men Of
Mll5ank make it possible for this
reproach to be removed, at least,
from this community? For /.
considerable number meditation
at a given time will be practically
impossible unless the business
houses close. | then suggest
that the business houses of Mil
bank close on Good Friday be
tween the hours Of II III. to D.
m, in cOmmemoration Of the
death of the world Savior.
Will you please give this your
careful consideration.
Faithfully yours.
