Funeral services will be held in that city this afternoon from the home of her parents. Burial will be at Monmouth. At the time of the accident which resulted in Miss Bricker's death, she was on her way to work at her broth- er"s bakery in Winnetka and was attempting to catch a northbound local train which stood on Greenleaf avenue awaiting the passing of the Limited train coming from the opposite direc- tion.

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven" (Luke 10:19,20). The lesson-sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health gift from a ritualistic Jehovah; but it was the demonstration of divine Love casting out error and healing the sick, not merely in the name of Christ, or Truth, but in demonstration of Truth" (p. 139). with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Christianity as Jesus taught it was not a creed, nor a system of ceremonies, nor a special Year Book Shows Great P.
