Ma Sunday Uses Her
Spare Time to Knit
Sweaters for Troops

Ma" sunday was busy knitting
sweaters for soldiers on the trip from
Winona Lake. Ind. to Washington.
She's not for wasting any time. no
matter where she may be. So Just
as soon as the. Pennsylvania Limited
left Chicago, the wife of the noted
Billy got out her knitting and started.
She was still at 1t when the train
was in sight of Washington. And
she has about one-third the back

During her "off time'' in Washing

with her knitting. Every chance she
gets, Ma slips quietly into a Red
Cross wOrkrOom and knits. She's
strong for the soldiers and is Just as
patriotic as her noted husband.
Ma Sunday is even more patriotic
now than ever, since her eldest son.

Crowds Wait Hours
To Greet Billy at the
Harrisburg Station

Some one tipped or the crowds in
the Pennsylvania Railroad station at
Harrisburg yesterday noon that Billy
Sunday was due at 12:D p. m. The
crowd decided to stick and see the
noted evangelist.
Despite the cold, several hundred
men and women lined up in front of
the station platform awaiting the ar
rival of "Billy's train" They waited
an hour after his scheduled time for
arrival-and no Billy. Some OF them
drifted out into the streets.
At least 100 men and women waited
another hour, and still another hour.
1t was exactly $40 when the train
pulled into the station. One of the
trainmen recognized Billy in the rear
Pullman and he let out a shout. The
crowd shouted itself hoarse. Billy
came out on the platform, waved his
hands and shouted "Howdy?" He
was all smiles.
Billy leaned over and shook the hand
of one of the trainmen. That was the
signal. The hand of everybody In that
crowd had to be shaken by the evan

New York, Jan. 5.--The expected

serious coal situation did not come
today and but little Improvement

Considerable coal has arrived on

! the already large number working
on the problem.
In the meantime the poorer
classes are clamoring more insist

| house to house canvass OF the city
| to gather up surplus coal wherever
found. Mayor Hylan himself con-
tributed three tons from the CELLAR

ed TO the most needy persons. the

Heads OF the various city depart.

coordination was decided upon.

There could be no greater or grsver

Well, OF course. truth is eternal and
can never be new. but on the other
hand its revelations are continually re-
newed. and the spiritually minded may
be said to live in a veritable atmos-
phere OF discovery. The first teacher
OF Christianity laid down the healing
ministry as an integral part OF his mes
sage and although IL was for some
time practiced In the early Christian
churches, the old time exponents OF the
Masters teaching early lost sight OF its
essential significance, and at last sur
rendered it entirely 10 the more ma
terial systems. In the latter part OF
last century Christian Science appeared
10 challenge this sad neglect and sup
ported its right 20 do SO with many
remarkable and well-authenticated cases
Of healing. Because OF these modern
miracles all eyes were turned toward
the gentle and unassumlng figure OF a
New England woman, who in announc-
ing her discovery OF the science OF
Christianity challenged the Christian
world 10 accept the reasonableness OF
her conclusions. This woman was
Mary Baker Eddy.
Mrs. Eddy was so unpreiudlced her
self that she believed that her wonder
ful discovery would meet with imme-
diate universal acceptance. She was.
however. quickly brought face TO face
with the fact that even her own
church which she loved most was not
ready for an Interpretation OF the scrip
lures which differed from that which
years Of theological teaching had made
acceptable TO It's members. Mrs. Eddy
met the attacks which were made upon
her In a spirit OF true charity and for
giyenness. She remained faithful at her
post until her ninetieth year. when. In
way that she neither sought nor fear
ed she passed from our sight. That
the task entrusted 20 her had been
faithfully completed. is best proved by
the fact that since her departure tho
growth OF the movement and the vol
ume Of its healing work have exceeded
all expectations.

which Christian Science brings 20 the
darkened outlook from which so many

GETS TO PORT

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3O.-The Navy
Department last night issued this state
ment:
The Navy Department Is informed
that the battleship Minnesota struck a
mine early this morning off the Della
ware Dreakwater. There were no cas-
ualtles, according to reports reaching
the department, and the Minnesota is
proceeding TO port under her own
power.
There was no indication as 10 the
extent OF the damage TO the battleship
nor whether the mine was an enemy
one. However, naval officers recalled
that mines were laid in these waters
by the submarines which carried out
the first raids Off the Atlantic coast
last May and June and that the oil
tank steamship Herbert L. Pratt was
sunk by striking one.
The fact that the Minnesota was able
TO reach port without assistance was
accepted as indicating that the mine
struck the ship near the bow and that
She was not badly damaged.
The Minnesota Is OF the pre-dread-
nought type, built at Newport News,
Va, in 1905. She is Of 5000 tons dis
