WISCONSIN SAB.
BATH SCHOOL
CONVENTION A
GREAT SUCCESS
Over Four Hundred Delegates
Here Attending the Con-
Venti0n.

We sincerely hope that our dele
gates enjoyed their short stay in
cur city. We certainly enjoyed them
and we believe the interchange OF
ideas in the Sabbath School work
has been mutually profitable. We
know this community is better for
their having been here. No community
could have four hundred Christian
people in their midst for three
days, but what they would leave
their impress upon that community
Our city was pleased to have an OPP
porJunity to entertain them and We
hope their stay was pleasant, and prof
liable. May the good work they are
doing for coming generations be
prospered and grow to the better
ment of mankind Education is the
ground work OF Christianity, and
when started early in the Sabbath
School moulds future life May the
good work go ON and on is the sin
cere wish of this Journal.
The work of the convention closed
Thursday afternoon and was voted
to be one of the best yet held.

A LECTURE On
CHRIS IAN SCIENCE
BY Clarence w. Chadwick, C. S. B.,
Member Of the Board of Lectureship
Of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos-
ton Mass

The following is the substance Of
he eloquent address delivered by
c. w Chadwick Thursday evening,
at Daly's opera house, to af air siz-
ed audience. He is an excellent,speak
er and his address was greatly en-
joyed by those who heard him:
The activity of right thought is no
finite or limited capacity. Neither is
it any respector of persons, troubles
or disease. 1t is as natural for
right thought to heal as it is for the
sun to shine. The moment the true
idea of Mind enters individual con-
sciousness, real constructive mental
work begins therein. This idea, oper-
atiDg through law and as law de-
mands the perfect REIMBURSEMENT of
finite human consciousness.
LOVE FOR CHRIST JESUS.
There are no people on earth who
feel and express more genuine affec-
ton and have for Christ Jesus than
do Christian Scientists. They not on
ly believe but they understand why
he is to them ''the resurrection and
The life" They reverently acknowl-
edge him as the Saviour of the world
and they are striving TO keep his
Commandments.
MRS. EDDY.
,Aer Eddy, the acknowled-
ged Discoverer and Founder of Chris
ian Science, was a truly wonderful
woman. Her genuine nobility of char
acters her intensely religious nature,
her unbGunded love for God and hui
manity, her untiring laborers for
the good of mankind, her sublime, ,cour
aAe adld truso, made her one of the
worlds greatest of modern religious
leaders and teachers. The one domi-
mating feature of her life was that
she had learned the meaning of Love
and how to reflect it toward friend
and foe alike. She claimed no infal-
liability, nor sought any personal ag-
grandizement. Those who knew her
best affirm that she was a wise spir-
ituaI counselor and a true friend.
Christian Science did not originate
in Mrs. Eddys human mind. 1t was
the Christ idea of the oneness and
allness of divine Mind that found
expression in her purified mentality
She had reached a purified mental
height which made it possible for the
Christ consciousness to assert itself
as the law and dominion of good. She
yielded willing and loving obedience
to this spiritual evangel, and ais a
result of this obedience Christian
healing is again an established fact
in our midst The Christian Science
textbook, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures,''' is the nat
ural and logicaI outcome of Mrs.
Eddy's unsettled devotion and fidelity
to the spiritual idea The dawning of
the spiritual idea in Mrs. Eddy's
Loye-chastened consciousness is
the greatest mental phenomenon that
could ever be experienced by hui
man being. Its Importance to the hu-
man race is beyond comparison. 1t
is 1.-The resurrection and the life
to all who humbly appropriate it and
begin to live according to it's divine
requirements.

ENACTED ON WEST
SIDE THURSDAY

Murder Mother-n-Law

When Mr. Ragan went to the man
he found that the gun was cooked,
| and there was one empty and one
loaded shell in it, The gun was a dol
bic baTreled shot gun. 1t is plainly
evident that after shooting his wife,
and shooting at Mrs. Latus, he ejec-
ted the empty shells and reloaded tht
gun before killing himself.
Mr. and Mrs. Trask came here
from Brokaw about Sept. 1st, and
boarded for a time at the Julien Ho
tel. Before coming to this city, Trask
was employed as book-keeper for
the paper mill at Brokaw. Since
coming here he has acted as an
agent for the Times Insurance Com
pany Of Milwaukee, and has been
drinking more or Less. 1t is stated
by people who knew him, that he
has said something about trouble he
was in and mentioned his motherin-
law. and has also said that he would
blow out his brains.
Seven children are made orphans
by this terrible tragedy. Frank. who
is married, and LeVerne work in the
paper mill here; Jesse works in the
paper will at Brokaw, Wilfred and
Glenn work at the Grand Rapids

TOYS PLENTIFUL
Santa Claus Stock was not Hit
by European War.

The dearth in the toy market. fear
ed last summer, following the out
break of the war of nations is not
in evidence in Grand Rapids toyshops
1t is said that never before have
Chri stnas toys been more attractive,
more durable, more sensible, or more
attractive than this season.
One of the newspaper men from
the Daily Reporter office has been
wandering around through the toy
stores and he found wonderful lot
OF toys for all the good children of
this city and vicinity. Santa Claus
IS going to be real good to the
good little children and has made ar
rangements with the stores in this
city to display the finest line Of toys
and holiday goods ever seen here.
There are little animals that lock
SO life-like that you almost expect
them to prance about There are
rocking horses, camels, elephants, ,baa
lambs, dogs, ETC., in plenty. Dolls,

fact. every kind of doll For the

almost anything a little boy can pos
sib-y want.
Soon the merchants will commence
to tell about the wonderful toys,
games, dolls, etc, they have in the
advertisements and every little boy
and girls parents must read the ad-
vertisements and tell their daddy or
their mother what they would like,
so that a message can be sent to

William E. Trask shot his wife
through the heart and afterward blew
part of his head off Thursday, a. m,
about 11.5O o'clock. The weapon US
ed was a double barreled shot gun.
Trask, with his wife and mother
in-laW, have been living at 555 n.
Ninth avenue. He has been follow
ing the occupation Of insurance agent
1t is said that Trask was short in
his remittances to his company and
had been urged repeatedly by his
wife to make up the amount and
send it in He is said to have been
drinking heavily the last few days
and it is probable that he committed
the awful act while under the influ-
ence Of liquor.
Little could be learned from the
mother-in-Iaw, Mrs. Latus, who was
in a state yerging on nervous pros
tratiOn She was startled at hearing
a gun shot in the bedroom up stairs.
and started to go up the stairway,
when her son-in-law appeared at the
head of the stairs and pointed the
gun at her. She ran out of the house
and started to go across the street.
Trask raised a window in the bed
room and fired at her, fortunately,
not hitting her He must have then
seated himself on the bed, placed
the muzzle of the gun at the right
side Of his head and pulled the trig-
ger with his foot Mrs. Trask was
found lying in a pool of blood on the
floor and Trask was lying on the
Deu still grasplng the gun. The en-
tire top of Trask's head was blown
off and his face discolored by burn
ed powder.
Judge EdW n. Pomainville was no
titled and went to the scene of the
tragedy 1t being so evident that it
was a case of murder and suicide
on the part of the murder, it was
not necessary to hold an Inquest.
D. T. Ragan w5As notified and in
structed to get the bodies and take
them TO his undertaking parlors.

THE REAL MAI

Thoughts emanating from the
brain never defined the real man,
Gods image and likeness. The man
referred to in the first chapter of
Genesis was never in partnership
with evil in any form, but is the
mental embodiment OF all that is
good, pure and true.

Observation and experience both
compel the admission that the most
successful and salutary influence
known to the world today is the
practise of Christian Science. AS a
prophylactic or preventive with both
children and adults it has no COM
peer. One Christian Science treat
ment has frequently cast out the de-
mon of intemperance in its very
worst form. 1t has also healed the
morphine, cocaine an6 other demoraI
izing habits. Christian Science reoog-
nizes the healing of disease as al
ways incidental to the conquering OF
the moral fault under whatever
guiSe it may appear.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1914-11-19

1t requires honesty, humility, COM
passion, moral purity, and spiritual
understanding to give a treatment in
Christian Science. Simple though the
process is, none but Christian can
understand it or use it. 1t is be-
yond the ken of human will power or
mental suggestion" even to attempt
to give a Christian Science treatment
Treatment is not the influence OF
one human mind over another 1t is
the activity of the Word of God in
human consciousness 1t is prayer
in its highest and truest sense.

front and make their wisn:s known,
The last to toss his hat in the ring
is Assembly nan Allen G. Mcbride

nation for state senator. He has
served two terms in The assembly
from this county n he asks his
party to endorse his record as o
legislator and to promote him to
the higher branch of the State leg
islature.
He was born and raised in Elko
and is an exemplary young man
in every way. His enemies are few
and his friends are cgion. The ex-
p~erience he gained in the assembly
would be a valuable and TO him in
the senate. He invites a scrutiny
of his record in the assembly and
asks his party to endorse him at the
primary election.
The worst thing We know about
Allen is his poli'ics. He is welded
to the doctrines and principles Of
his party but this should not make
against him in his fight for the
nomination. He has been true to
his party in the past and il should
be true to him.
