ALL DAY SERVICES HELD AT CHRISTIAN
 CHURCH AS GOOD BYE

Sadness and gladness mingled in the great day service at the First Chris tion church yesterday; sadness, be- cause it was the last Lords day serv- ice in the old church; gladnesS, be- cause the congregation is moving on ward and upward with rapid strides and because of blessings which have been showered upon it.
 The auditorium woS crowded to over flowing at both Bible school and morn ing service. There was special music and special work in the various Bible school classes At the close Of the Bible school. five came forward to unite with the church. by letter, and by con- fession and baptism. Additions to the church during the day numbered twelve, several Of whom obeyed their Lord in baptism before the afternoon service Others will be baptized, at the mid week prayer meeting, on Wednes day evening.
 After the communion service, Which is observed in this church on the first day of each week, Dr. Buchanan, the pastor, delivered stirring sermon on the subject, For the Sake of the Church." impressing upon his people the fact that the world is reading Christians instead of reading the bible, and that flor the sake of the church, Christians must keep themselves "un- spotted from the world and let their lives be open books in their community Dinner was served from the church kitchen, and too much praise cannot be given to the committee of men who ar ranged and took charge of this part of the program Indeed it was a happy daV for the women of the cOngrega .

 When I heard of the great Undertak ing that you contemplated some months ago, l mad poined the cant be done class. But I am here this afternoon to 1 look into your faces and realize that great things can be done if we have 1 the vision and faith enough. 1 At little fishing village on the coast 1 of Maine as the ships put out 10 sea, i little hunchback, crippled boy, who was unable to do anything to help in ! launching the vessels was always seen | to wave his hand as a ship pulled out, and from his lips there seemed to como words.

SEEING GOOD
The Christian Science Monitor

death seemed unquestionably real, truth destroys their seeming reality, plants the feet on firmer ground, and inspires faith in the infinite presence and power of God.
 From faith to understanding is us ually a long step, and one quality of thought is indispensable, that is, the desire to progress in the line of light. Without this constant prodder, man sinks into apathy and comfortably plans to practice truth after his own desultory fashion. Fully recognizing this, Mrs Eddy writes. We know that a desire for holiness is requisite In or der to gain holiness; but if We desire holiness above all else we shall sacri flee everything for it. We must be
 willing to do this, that we may walk 1 securely -op"luisTf7Ye 5s. ilmther securely in the only practical road to 1 The only practical road to righteous ness and life is surely the road of per i petual demonstration of truth, the road of prayer without ceasing" which our great Master enjoined This i word, unceasing, has always been a stumbling block in the way Of the
 theoretical and dogmatic followers of l Christ Jesus, but how simply and how
 adequately Mrs Eddy, through her 1 own spiritual insight and close walk l with God, has answered the dl1flcult l question. "The habitual struggle to be always good is unceasing prayer. 1 (Science and Health. D. 4) This. truly, is sight in it's highest significance.
 One of the terms used frequently in Christian Science to express God, Is principle a term which at once links itelf in thought with law That is just
 what it's use is intended to do, and
 nothing can so plainly reveal God tc human thought as the prayer which confirms the allness of His law. Tine desire which goes out daily and hourly to conform to Gods law in every
 thought and action, is the effectua
 prayer which actually destroys mater
 ial sense and it's so-called laws, ano
 reveals absolutely the infinity and om-
 nipresence of good

Dealing With the l. w, w.

There were two ways to dispose of the l. w. W. One would have been for the newspapers utterly to Ignore them as an organization and to treat their transgressions against society individual like those of the burglar, the pickpocket and the horsethief; to omit mention of an organization That might not have been easy for paper to do which boasts of printing "all the news"
 The other for the authorities to handle the organization conspiracy against society and to treat the members other criminals are treated so that they themselves, by the strength of their own imagination should regard themselves as heroes and martyrs to cause
 The government that is the federal government state governments and communities appear to be about to adopt the latter way it will succeed if persisted 1n When the commander of the troops at spokane took into custody all the leaders of the I w w. he brought home to this lawless organization "th sartng force realization that the country is at war ana that of1enses against the government come within the reach of the military arm of the nation The long statement issued by Rowan in which he talked of the peaceful character of the l. w. w, is contradcted by all the operations of this anarchistic body during it's existence.
 All the literature of the society is filled with pleas Tor the destruction-al the speeches of it's leaders have been arguments for destructon-of the cap- laiistc class. Even the call proposed strike was preceded by njunctions to make the fruit rot on the ground.
 RoWan's statement, dictated after his arrest seeks to make the strike peaceful labor movement He ignores completely the fact that of the chief grounds for the strike, fact the essential ground was the release of the members of the l. w w who are held illegally in the jails of the northwestern states The dictated statement does not include this as one of the strike grounds
 NO one will quarrel with the desires of the work nsmen Of the great casual army for better wages and better working conditions. They have just cause for cattle and treated than slaves But the attempt 10 join with the demands for better wages and better working conditions assault on organized society Is practically an appeal anarchy
 The deliberate advice to destroy crops to handicap the government in the carrying of the war prep aratlons' when we are face to face with a powerful enemy is close to the line treason Leaedrs of the l. w. w. have carried on their campaign without in reference so long that they had begun to think they were beyond the reach of the law. They have learned better and still only half their lesson has been given The farmers and home of the western country have been stirred to action.
 AS never before these men prepared to defend their farms their homes and crops against or sanzed lawlessness. These men will complete the work that the military arm of the government has begun
