AT THE CHURCHES

Sabbath before Xmas and the
other Xmas eve. The parents of
our children are requested to CO.
operate with this committee to the
extent of seeing that their child
rem are encouraged to attend all
rehearsals.
Our mems Bible Glass opened
its first session last Sabbath. The
class has taken for it's line of
study the treatment in a popular
way the history of the Christian
church. All men of the parish are
invited to take part in this dis
cussion and study. The text book
will be the Bible and all are asked
to bring one with them to class.
Our study hour takes place at the
same time with that of the rest
of the Church School
We begin our Bible Forum next
Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock.
As previously intimated the pur-
pose of this hour is to familiarize
ourselves with the contents and
message of Scripture. Roosevelt
sald-"No man may count himself
fully educated unless he has a
wide familiarity with Scripture. To
be ignorant in this matter is with
out excuse, is indicative of mental
sloth and poverty of the spiritual
life"
1t is not too early to remind
the parish that quarterly commun-
ion will be celebrated within the
next four Sabbaths. All who are
considering uniting with the church
should seriously make preparations
for this event. The first Sabbath
of the New Year will be our first
Ingathering Day.

In another month politically
Minnesota will start the prellmln-
aries for the longest state cam
paign in its history. To those en-
trusted with the welfare of the
several political parties, the out
come is one of anxiety. No less
than three ordeals confront those
whose ambitions run to political
and official perferment at the
hands of the voters and the cam
paign in connection with each is
due to be of unusual endurance
and cost. First will come the
state conventions in March as pro-
vided for by the last legislature,
in turn will follow the primaries
in June and lastly the general
election in November. The latter
will be the finals and it can be
truly said that the lucky surviv-
ors will well merit their victory.
In connection with each will be a
campaign of not less than three
months or better than nine months

The Story of London School Boy Who Stumbled
Upon the Secret of Making Dyes
from Coal Tar
No. ii
from Coal Tar
(Toid In Eight Sketehss)
BY JOHN RAYMOND =.
FoETS OF SCIENCE

William Henry Perkin was an odd
sort of youngster., When he was Is
years old and student in the City OF
London School, he heard OF series OF
lectures on chemistry during the noon
recess. Young William Henry de-
cided that the lectures would be OF
more value to him than his lunches, so
he took in the lectures.
Apparently the lectures made de-
cided impression upon the boy, Two
years later he entered the laboratory
of a chemist banned Holman in the
ROYAL College Of London and by the
time he-was II, had started upon his
career asa researcher. Perkin decided
that his mission i'll life was to isolate
phenenthrene from coal tar and pre-
pare artificial opinine In order TO
done he set up private laboratory and
worked overtime. While at work in
this laboratory in the spring OF 1880,
he found in his test tube. while oNi-
dizing some aniiine oil, black, sticky
mass instead of clear crystals. He at
tempted to wash it out with alcohol
when. to his surprise, he produced a
wonderful purple soution-mauve, the
first OF the aniline dyes.
Ten years later Perkin achieved his
greatest triumph when he produced
alizarin, or Turkey red, formerly
made only from the root OF the mad
der. Years later the British govern
ment knighted the man who first dis
covered the vast possibilities contained
with coal tar but gave him little imam
cial support or encouragement 1t
was left to German researchers TO
build up the industry and finally to
obtain strangle hold upon the trade

This writer who jumped into fame
. few years ago, almost over night,
is rapidly becoming one Of the COM
manding figures in modern fiction
writing.
The range of his powers is no less
extraordinary than their quality. He
has the power Of being always inter-
esting, while no one excels him in
the ability to contribute absorbing
realism, mystery, romance and vitali-
ty to his work.
A native and resident Of Califor-
MIA, he draws most Of his plots and
characters from that section or some
part Of the West. He occupies a
place in the sea-faring literature Of
the Pacific Coast, similar to that Of
Joseph C. Lincoln on the shores Of
New England. One Of his best and
most humorous tales is "The Green

will soon start as q serial. Our read
