K. M. P.
To those familiar with the life and
works of Jesus Christ, the accounts of
the treatment lie received at the
hands of his persecutors seem almost
incredible, and we are astonished that
one whose only work was doing good,
and whose life was a constant self-sac*
riflce should receive such treatment.
Especially when we read of the cruci-
fixion, do we feel pity for his enemies
whose blindness and hardnessof heart
caused them to put to such a deatli |
their best friend.
* While reading recently this refer-
ence from Science and Health: p. 61,
‘'The motives of his persecutors were
pride, envy, cruelty, and vengeance,”
the question came to me witli start-
ling force, “Am I crucifying Christ
today?” and a few moments’ thought
made it plain to me that if we, as
Christian Scientists, allow the sugges-
tions of error, envy, hate, jealousy,
criticism, etc., to And lodgement in
our consciousness are we certainly
crucifying the Christ, Truth, which
has been awakened in our thought
through the study of Christian Science,
for the spiritual idea of Life cannot
dwell where self is dominant.
We might say without hesitancy
that we would have had no part inthe
crucifixion of Jesus, but we are inot
giving place to the same animal in-
stinct, the error that crucifies and
kills, if we hate or judge falsely our
brother? Are we not defacing, defil-
ing, and dethroning the Christ-image
that we should reflect? Are we not
excluding from our brother’s con-
ciousness and our own the healing
Christ?
Let us crucify self, false suggestions
in every form, and say with Paul, “I,
die daily.” Then shall we possess
the Mind that was in Christ Jesus
and keep the feast or sacrament, not
of malce and wickedness, but of sin-
cerity and Truth.—Christian Science

Emily J. Sackett, died Jons 6,1603,
She^wa, ,5„ T Phone 78.
111., and married Jasper N. Sack- ^ ,w ^
ett, April 6, 1865, at Hillsboro Mont-
gomery county 111., and in the year
1877 together they moved to Chero-
kee county, Kansas,and in 1890 they
moved on their homestead in Payne
j county where they lived at the time
of her death. In the death of Mrs.
Sackett, the community has lost an
estimable kind and sympathetic
woman. Her every day life was that
of a true good woman,and many there
are who will ever hold her memory
irS grateful rememberance. The de-
1 ceased suffered an attack of paraly-
sis. The remains were laid to rest in
j the Ingalls Cemetery, and were fol-
J Jowed on their last journey by many
. friends. The sympathy of the entire
1 community is given the family in
their sorrow.
“’Tis hard to part with loved ones,
But ’tis the fate of all;
The fairest flowers must wither,
And the prowdest oak must fall.
A mother kind and true has gone,
And sadly missed she'll be
By her husband childred friends
Who loved her tenderly.
A patient sufferer she has been,
Cheerfully bearing her pain
For months a helpless invalid
Hoping to be well again.
To us who mourn her death
-’Tis comfort in our sorrow
To hope that in a better world
W’ell meet her on the morrow.

The city examination was held
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Several of the A. & M. College,
graduates are takinglwork in the In-
stitute.
There are three colored teachers at-
tending. Supt. Kezer, says, he is
afraid he will not have enough teach-
ers for the colored schools.
Prof. Evans, was absent the first
three days of this week; Mrs. Evans,
conducted his classes in his absence in
a very satisfactory manner.
The colored people ~of Stillwater are
making an effort to build a church
house, out seem unable to secure a site,
and are not getting much encourage-
ment from the residents h«re in any
wav. It would be best lor them to
look elsewhere; go to Guthrie or Lang-
ston where they are invited. Still-
water is peculiarly a white man’s town,
and the negroes are not. wanted and
are welcome here by but. a few racial
equality shrlekers.
