DEFENDS DR.. ALTERNATELY,
DIR. Pierce Denounces Critics of
Arms Conference PRAYER.

Omission of the name of Christ from
the prayer at the opening of the arms
conference by Rev. DR.. William s.
Alternately was entirely warranted,
since th.r soirit OF the Christ was most
thoroughly present throughout, Rev
DIR. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of the
First Congregational Church, held
yesterday. in openly denouncing crit
les of that prayer.
How foolish, how unwarranted,
such criticism" declared DR.. Pierce,
Then dramatically wheeling in the
pulpit, he pointed to the wall of the
church above the pulpit, facing the
congregation, whereon was painted
the Lords Prayer.
Are you going to say No to that
prayer" asked the pastor. THAT
prayer which came from the lips of
the Master himself, as model, as the
most perfect prayer ever uttered? Yet
it does not include the name of Christ
1t is the spirit of the Master that
counts, and so long as that spirit ami
mates the voice of supplica ton it is
not for the cynics to criticise."

Up to date twenty-five diamonds
have been found in South Africa that
weighed over 100 karats, and nine OF
these were big enough to yield cut
gems Of over 100 carats weight.
The first Of them, known as the
Star OF South Africa, weighed 28S
carats, and was cut to 135 carats. 1t
was found in 1867 by trader named
O'Reilly in Griquaand West. He was
staying overnight with Boer named
Van Newkirk, whose little girl was
playing with a large and very bright
pebble. The Boer gave it to O'Reilly,
who sold it to Sir Phillip Wodehouse,
governor OF the colony, for $1,000. 1t
was afterwards bought for $55,000 by
the Earl OF Dudley.
The Imperial, found at the Cape
diggings in 1884, weighed 457 carats,
and was for a while the largest dia-
mond ever known in the world. 1t was
priced at $1000,000, and, cut to a
brilliant" became the property of the
British crown.
1t was altogether dwarfed, however,
by the Jagersfontein diamond-other-
wise known as the Excelsior-which
in June, 1898, was picked up by ne
gro workman at Jagersfontein, in the
Orange river colony. The stone
weighted go carats, or more than sew
en- ounces.
It was two and half inches long,
blush white, and irregular in shape
like the broken-off end of an icicle.
In the center of it was black spot,
to get rid of which it had to be cut in
halves. From one half was cut the
Jubilee, 239 carats, at that time the
biggest cut diamond in existence, and
unequalied in faultless perfection of
