Soul Theme For
Science Churches
Textbook Explains Use,
Meaning the Term

Soul" was the subject of the
lesson-sermon in all Christian
Science Churches and Societies on
Sunday, August Is.
The golden text was from
Psalms APP: MY soul thirsreth
for God, for the living God: when
shall ] come and appear before
God?"
Among the citations which COM
prlsed the lcsson-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "lIow
amiable are thy tabernacles, o
Lord of Hosts! My soul longeth,
yea, even fainteth for the courts
of the Lord: my heart and my
flesh crieth out for the living
God. For the Lord God is a sun
and shield: the Lord will give
grace and glory: no good thing
will be withhold from them that
walk uprightly." Psalms "a: ],
2, 1l.)
The leSS0n-Serm0n also lnclud'
ed the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
cnce and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy;
"When reading the Scriptures
the substitution of the word sense
for soul gives the exact meaning
in a majority Of cases. Human
thought has adulterated tn
meaning of the word soul through
the hypothesis that soul is botf
an evil and good intelligence
resident in matter. The proper
use of the word soul can always
be gained by substituting th'
word God, where the deific mean
ing is required. In other cases

NET OF AMERICAN
SMELLING LARGE
Average for Two Months
Placed at $8.37 Per
Common Share.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 6.-F. H. Brown
ell, chairman OF American Smelling
ds Refining Co., stated at the annual
stockholders meeting today earnings
of the company have continued high
thus far IN 1887.
Brownell said January earnings were
at the rate of $7.68 q common share
per year, while the February rate was
$905, or an average for the first two
months of $837 4 common share.
He added he had reason TO believe
March earnings would run as high As
in February.
Brownell announced the oompany's
preferred stock would be called as OF
June 30 at sl05 share, plus 81 div
idend.
Because of the high precious metal
content in domestic copper mines,
about 100000 tons Of copper a year
can be produced at less than S cents
a pound; 100000 tons more at less
than 6 cents \ pound, and about
100000 tons additional At less than 8
cents pound, he said.
Large South African copper mines
present no threat to American pro-
ducers, Brownell told 4 stockholder.
About SOC, 900 tons a year in produc-
ton capacity is in South Africa and
another 100000 tons in Chile. he said.
While these producers have much
lower labor costs than the United
States producers, lack of precious
metal content practically balances the
low labor cost" he added.
At his last Friday press conference,
President Roosevelt said copper could
be produced at a profit at some mines
for or 6 cents pound and at others
at cents.
George A. Brockington, secretary Of
the company. was added to the board
of directors.
