Scientist Lesson
Sermon on "MUn''

MAN" is the subject of the
lesson,sermon in all the Churches
of Christ, Scientist, tomorrow.
The Golden Text is from John
81: Behold, what manner of
love the Father hath bestowed
upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God" Among the
citations which comprise the
lesson-sermon is the following
from the Bible: do not err, my
beloved brethren. Every good gift
and every perfect gift is from
above, and cometh down from the
Father Of lights, with whom is
no variableness, neither shadow
of turning. OF his own will begat
he us with the word Of truth,
that We should be a kind of
first fruits of his creatures. +"

ACOUSTICS ARE
NPROVED At
CATHEDRAL

The preachers at the principal
services in the great choir Of
Washington Cathedral on Mount
st. Alban tomorrow will be the
Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, DID,.
LID. at the peoples evensong
at 4 clock, and Canon Anson
Phelps Stokes at morning prayer
and celebration of the Holy
Communion at II o'clock. The
marked improvement in acoustics,
which was noted at the service
last Sunday when President and
Mrs. Roosevelt and members Of
the Presidents Cabinet were
present, is a testimony to the
ability of modern skill to over-
come what has often been a de-
feet in large buildings during
their construction.
'In the cathedral we have
experienced this trouble since
the great choir was enclosed
temporarily for public worship
in 1882" Bishop Freeman said
today. Recent scientific tests,
conducted with the cooperation
Of the United States Bureau Of
Standards, demonstrated that
the chief cause Of the difficulty
has been a reverberation caused
by the reflection of the sound
Of the voices from the tenn
pOrary wall at the west end Of
the choir.
This wall or partition, 90
feet high, has been covered
with sOund-absOrbing material
4 inches thick. The imme-
diate improvement in ability
to hear in various parts of the
building has proved the cor.
rectness Of the diagnosis.

Revaluation of the dollar
boosted American money stocks
from $9,745, ,189, 900 at the end of
January to $13,147, 1881, 900 Febru-
ary 20, the Treasury announced
today. Money stocks February %,
1893, totaled $10,275, sos 900.
The country'S gold stocks Janu-
ary 81 were valued at $4,036,3 1885,.

lation February % totalled $685..
O68, 900, an increase of 81 million
dollars in a month, and a decrease
of $1,190, 100000 in a year. The
tremendous decline since Febru.
ary, 1888 was the result of the
return OF money from boarding
following the bank holiday.
Per Capita Sum Up
Per capita circulation February

$41.91 January 81, and $52.19 Feb
ruary %, 1888. The record per

in circulation.
Estimate Impossible
Officials said that it was i'm
possible to estimate how much

outside of the Treasury. Prob
ably a large proportion of that

has been lost, or exported from
the country, prior to the ban on

Aquar1un1 Fish
Wear Goggles
In Test

LA JOLLA, Cal, March 10
U.N.SD.-There were fish with
goggles swimming around today
in the large aquarium at the
Scripps Institution of Ocean

The goggle-equipped fish are
the result Of experiments by
DR.. F. B. Sumner. head Of the
fish biology department.
Light stimulus on the eye
causes color changes in fish
and it has long been known that
II put on a yellow back ground,
the fish turns yellow: on a red
back ground. the fish takes on
. rusty brown hue.
The exact part played in this
process by light stimulus was
unknown until DR.. Sumner

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, Superin-
tendent Of schools, stated that the
public had been led to believe
when the liquor law was passed

of the most important things to
be considered, he said, urging
such strict regulation that they
would not even see liquor sold.

MEXICO, D. F., November TO-
While President Abelardo Rodriguez
and Attorney General Emilio Portes
Gil conferred at Mexicali today as to
whether charges of sedition should be
brought against Catholics, various
states took new action against the
church.
Belated advices from Merida said
the state of Yucatan three days ago
ordered the closing of all churches
and the expulsion of all priests.
The priests, many of whom recently
were exiled from Oaxaca and Ciapas,
were reported leaving for Cuba and
the United States by boat and plane.
The Yucatan Governor, it was re-
ported here, took the action as reprisal
for the alleged boycott of the state
lottery by the Knights of Columbus
and other Catholic organizations.
He also charged that Catholics were
refusing to pay state or local taxes or
purchase goods from stores owned by
on-Catholics, the adv S from
Merida said.
A number of churches in the state
OF Puebla were closed by local authori-
ties and churches in Morelos re-
manned closed following the refusal
of Catholics to accept an order limit
ing the number of priests to five for
every 10000 inhabitants, even though
the decree relaxed existing restric-
tions.
Tie Chamber of Deputies mean
while was discussing proposals to con-
vert closed churches in Vera Cruz

power Of starting amusements which lead to

Christmas taught people to feast on a feast
day and to be as funny as possible while the
fun was going, and it did this because there
was real reason for doing it. But our modern
fun has grown more solemn than solmenity
itself, because there is no reason for it at all.

A CHRISTMAS LIBRARY

He owned and treasured q few books on

his doctor of philosophy degree at Johns Hop
kins and his law degree at the University Of
Maryland, he saved them. Occasionally he
bought another. About 20 years ago he found
he had several hundreds Of all kinds periods
and degrees of value. Some were books every
body has, some were curiosities and some could
be bought if booksellers could locate them.
When he saw items he didn't have he bought
them and gradually his collection started build
ing itself.
The growing Radcliffe library contained
many books on Maryland history. but the fnan-
cier's main interest was his Christmas books.
In his travels In America and Europe he vis-
tied shops and stalls and told dealers to send
him their findings IN his line. If he saw .
book he liked he bought it, although he might
have one like it at home. In fact, it was hard
to remember just what he did have.
Rare items as such did not interest him. He
has never cared for first editions or manu-
scripts Sometimes the books cost him only
SO cents, sometimes $40 or $50.
He doesn't remember the names Of the books
or authors easily, but he never forgets what
they say. He finds some Of them saying the

demned cell; and most of the time we
forget about this incalculable spiritual
power.
But at Christmas, each year, we re-
discover it. We remember where it
comes from; we see it symbolized in those
little Christmas customs that we all
observe; and in the magnificent cadences
of that deathless story from Bethlehem
we realize its eternal truth
E AGING this, we then discover some
~ thing else: That the great battles,
the battles which decide the worlds
destiny, are fought out in mems hearts
and minds It is there that the great
decisions are made; everything that
happens afterward simply ratifies them.
Where are the legions that held the
world in thrall, while the heavens opened
over that sheepfold? Blown dust on the
winds of time, these 1s centuries; blood
less shadows marching through oblivion
with the shades of all the other armies
man has raised.
And the vision that those legionS
Knocked? It still lives, imperishable and
ageless, in millions upon millions Of
hearts, Tightening the fear and discour-
agement of unnumbered generations Of
men. All of the worlds armies have not
killed it, all the worlds fleets have not
touched it. It is above change and
beyond time.
Slowly, year by year, it increases.
Human nature does change; 1t Is
denial Of all that we live by to say that
it does not. Generation by generation
and century by century, men come
little bit closer to a realization Of the
fact that they can make this world
precisely what they want it to be, Il
they have the faith and courage to try.
AS we realize that, we find that the
star that blazed in the Eastern sky -
still shining. The smoke from the navies
and the dust-clouds from the parade
grounds may obscure it, but they cannot
cut off its light entirely.
And so we can celebrate our Christmas,
and reread the old promise of peace and
human brotherhood, in spite of the war
clouds. For that star will continue to
give us its light in the future as in the
past. Year by year the light will grow.
a little bit brighter, and as it does so We
shall become a little bit better able to
see the tragic stupidity of trying to con-
duct human society by the rules of the
tiger-cage.
Then we shall be able to see this story
of manger and wise men and sheepfold,
not as beautiful old story or as lovely
but Impractical ideal, but as guide
for human affairs, miraculous dis
closure of eternal truth. And in that
day, looking about us, we shall discover
that we have begun to build the city Of
God.
