ATTACK PRO-GERMANS
New Brand of RiOting Directed at
Agitators of Separate Peace.

Petrograd, May 5.-Pro-German
peace agitators are being attacked in
the streets of Petrograd by crowds of
soldiers and citizens. Numerous
clashes have occurred. Shots have
been fired and several persons are re-
ported to have been wounded.
The fighting and rioting broke out
Friday night when adherents of Mich
olas Lenin, the Socialist separate
peace advocate, recently arrived here
from Switzerland via Germany, sought
to address the crowds swarming the
streets.
1t is believed this rioting is separate
from the disturbances of the past two
days directed against the government.
but the greatest disorder prevails

TO END SUNDAY
Lecture by DIR. Seton Will Close
New Thought Convention.
Special Program Staged for
Children This Afternoon.

Children's afternoon was observed
today by the visiting delegates of the
annual convention of the Kansas-Ok
lahoma district of the International
New Thought Alliance. Mrs. Ida H.
Hardy, of Topeka, conducted the spe-
cial entertainment which consisted of
ch;ldren's songs, short talks and a few
stories of religious nature. More than
so little children attended the enter
tainment A short talk was made to
the teachers and parents by Mrs.
Hardy on 1.-The New Language" Mrs.
Doing sang Suffer Little Children to
Come Unto Me- Miss Obey Kearney
and Master James Kearney sang a
duet which was followed by two local
solos by Miss Jennie Blinn.
This morning DR.. Julia Seton, prin-
cipal speaker of the convention, con-
Quoted two healing sessions for the
benefit of the members of the alliance
and for the general public During her
talk this morning DIR. Seton spoke of
the work of New Thought in foreign
countries.
Foreign Schools.
Schools have been established in
New Zealand, Australia, Africa and in
all of the larger cities of Europe. These
schools are conducted in a manner
very similar to the ordinary church
but, DR. Seton points out, every school
has a special purpose other than for
mere worship. During the last three
years, New Thought has gathered
nearly 100000 followers in the thir-
ty district of the alliance which en-
braces the entire civilized portion of
the world.
Tonight, at 8 o'clock. a lecture and
musical program will be given for the
public. DIR. Seton will deliver a lee
ture on the Psychology of Success"
and Miss Mida Sharp will explain the
movement in Australia, as it has adj
vanced since its esta blishment by DR.
Seton. Mrs. Lillian Doing, of To-
peka, will give a selection of vocal
solos.
To Close Tomorrow.
Sunday the conference will be
brought to a close with three special
devotional services at the Unity
church. one at IL o'clock in the morn
ing and the other one at o'clock in
the afternoon and the last session at
s in the evening. The final number
on this years program will be a lee
ture by DR.. Julia Seton on Things
to Remember" in which she will
give a resume of the convention and
of the new ideas advanced since the
last alliance meeting in Kansas City.

WALDREN GEACH, Pastor.

The new church building is progress
sing splendldly. There are eight CON-
petent carpenters working on the church
this week. 1t is expected that the city
clock will be installed this week. The
committee hopes to be able to dedicate

The choir is busy getting special
music for dedication week.
Services will be held next Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock standard time.

The pastor having the responsibility of
the church building enterprise, finds it
too much to preach three times on
Sundays. Everyone invited to be at
the morning service and Sunday school

their presence.
