PARTY CHIEFS TO HAVE TALK ON BOUNDARIES Attorneys Will Pass on Legality of Precinct Changes. THREE-CORNERED ROW Change of the city precinct boundaries so as to create twenty-live or more new voting districts for the city primary election in May and the city election in No- . vember, will be discussed at a conference to be held soon by Irving W. Le■uux, Republican city chairman ; Thomas Democratic city chairman: SamAshby, corporation counsel of Indi.inand Harry Hendrickson, Marion attorney. Lemeux has asked Mr. Ashby and Ur. Hendrickson to prepare an opinion on the law governing the changing of precinct boundaries for a city election. Politicians hold conflicting views, some contending that the boundaries cannot be disturbed legally unless the changes are made at leant sixty days before the primary election, others asserting it can be done at any time this month and still another faction holding that nothing can be done before June. SEEK INCREASE EOR WOMEN VOTERS. Some politicians are anxious for the .number of Toting places to be increased Kin order to take care of the large number of women voters who will cast bal lots In a city election for the first time. There are approximately 150 city precincts at present. The county commissioners last year Increased the number of county precincts to more than 170, most of which lie inside the city limits. The change was made to accommodate the increased electorate at the presidential primary and general election. To guard against fraud notaries public will be stationed at all voting places in the Twelfth and Thirteenth wards on primary day, May 3, Elias W. Dulßerger, president of the Oriental Republican Club, 856 South Meridian street, announced at a meeting yesterday afternoon. The notaries will be kept at the polls by the organisation of Samuel Lends Shank, candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, and will be instructed to take affidavits from each person who votes for Mr. Shank. The move is intended to prevent the “counting out” of Mr. Shank, it was said. SHANK PROMISES ECONOMY REGIME. Approximately three hundred persons attended the meeting at the Oriental Club. Mr. Shank spoke, promising Imm**diate steps to reduce taxation and comparing the economy of his former administration with the enormous expense piled up by Mayor Charles IV. Jewett. He on his slogan, “more perform ax?* less reform.” Mr. Shank is to speak at 2438 Martindale avenue and at 3012 Hovey street tonight and at Eleventh and Brook streets tomorrow evening. Mr. Lemaux announced that he holds the resignation of Leonard M. Quill as secretary of the Republican city committee. Mr. Quill said he was resigning to take an active part in the primary campaign of Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College and the NewsJewette candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor. Tha Republican city chairman said he does not know exactly how Mr. Quill's auccessor will be chosen, but that since there is nothing the city committee is supposed to do until after the primary Is over he is in no hurry to see the place filled. Mr. Hove will open headquarters in Rooms 556-562 Lemcke Annex. He is having considerable trouble finding a campaign manager, it is said. The job was offered to Mayor Jewett and to County Treasurer Ralph A. Lemcke, but both declined, asserting they did not feel physically fit to handle the Job, according to reports. The mayor has been confined to his residence for several days, having narrowly escaped an attack of pneumonia, according to bis friends. . Mrs Samuel Lewis Stank opened pe men's Shauk-for-mayor headquarters rtii room 120, at the Hotel English, this afternoon.

PROBE MONEY ORDER THEFT Police Grill Negro Caught by Storekeeper. Detectives today are investigating to learn the identity of a negro* who gave his name as George Johnson, 28, New Orleans, La., after being arrested on a charge of attempting to cash a stolen express money order at Reiser's waist shop Saturday night. Mr. Reiser, who has another store in Youngstown, Ohio, a few weeks ago cashed a similar express money order for the same man at Youngstown, he told the police. When Johnson appeared in the store Reiser recognized him and called the police. Patrolmen Melton and McKinney arrested the negro. The same man. Inspector of Detectives Herbert Fletcher said, passed a SSO express money order on Harry Levinson, a hat merchant. The order Is one of a number stolen from the express company, it is believed. A representative of the express company was at police headquarters today and an investigation was started to determine where the express orders were stolen. Court Gives $1,665,000 to Palmer Heirs CHICAGO, March 14.—The Government will be required to return an estate tax of $1,665,000 to the estate of Mrs. Potter Palmer, under a ruling by Judge George T. Page, in the United States District Court here today. Judge Page ruled that Potter Palmer died before the Federal estate tax tbcame a law and that Mrs. Palmer never had received any benefit from the $7,000,000 trust, her half of the Palmer estate. The tax return Is to te paid to Honore Palmer and Potter Palmer, Jr. Assistant United States Attorney J. Arthur Miller announced that an appeal will be taken. Keeps Senate on Job Until Slate Is Clean WASHINGTON. March 14.—President Harding today informed Senator Lodge that he is willing to have the Senate adjourn as soon as the calendar is cleared. The President insisted, however, that the Senate should not adjourn until action ha* been taken on the more than 4,000 Army nominations which are pending. Senator Lodge was uncertain whether it would be possible to clear the calendar for adjournment today. The President was exacted to send additional nominations to the Senate. Vessel Docks With 1,608 Soldier Dead NEW YORK. March 14—The army transport Somme docked at Hoboken today. The vessel carried the bodies of 1,608 American soldiers, many of them former members of the 27th division. Funeral services will be held at the pier Wednesday. The Somme also brought 587 doughboys relieved from service on the Rhine.

SAYS PROBLEMS SIMPLIFIED BY CHRIST SCIENCE (Continued From Page One.) I bcok of Job, in the Bible, you may remember how Satan once challenged the purity of Job’s goodness, possibly because the Deceiver is always the most deceived. So he insisted that Job's goodness was nothing but a subterfuge to gain some reward in heaven —that is to say. a form of selfishness. Those who make selfishness instead of Principle the standard of their actions must agree with Satan in upholding “the law of necessity.” But the framers of the American | Declaration of Independence recognized an eternal Truth when tkey wrote that men “are endowed by thelg Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The God of Christendom, therefore, is the divine Principle or Creator of those life-giving and liberating fruits of the Spirit, which are expressed unselfishly in right minded men and women everywhere. An intelligent pagan of education and refinement may be found obeying the ordinary canons of honesty, because he has learned that honesty will serve his best Interests, therefore he will be found acting as honestly as he can. But his standard of honesty Is not the Christian God, or the divine Principle of honesty; for he worships a god fashioned by the hand of man. So long as hp has no Principle, he can have no real qualities derived from Principle, and therefore no real sense of honesty. Thus a man's standard of right depends entirely upon the nature of the God he worships. RULE AND PRINCIPLE GENERALLY CONFUSED. According to the Century Dictionary, "There are no two words in the English language used so confusedly one for the other as the words rule and principle. . . . You can make a rule; you cannot make a principle; you can lay down a rule; you cannot, properly speaking, lay* down *a principle. ... It is a principle that ‘the Sabbath was made for man.” The fact that the fourth Commandment Is an emanation from Principle was the lesson Moses learned from his experiences in the wilderness with the manna. Always there was enough for their daily supply and nothing more; but on the sixth day, a supply of bread for two days could be gathered. The same God who supplied the Children of Israel with food to eat for forty years also set apart the seventh day for a sabbath rest from toil. This same God or Principle supplies every need.and because He supplies our every nee®. He Is not cold and austere. He is indeed the loving Father who blesses all mankind. In her book, “Rudimsntal Divine Science,” Mrs. Eddy answers the question, “What is the Principle of Christian Science?" in these words: "It is God, the Supreme Being, infinite and immortal Mind, the Soul of man and the universe. It is our Father which is In heaven. ,It Is substance, Spirit, Life, Truth and Love —these are the deific Principle.” Contrast. If you will, the guidance of divine Principle through law, with the practice of heathen rites and ceremonies. In one of the great cities of China, for example, there stands a brave little Christian Science church, dedicated to tha healing ministry of our great Master. Surrounding this church, there are heathen temples filled with idols fashioned by tne hand of man. Not long ago a severe drought afflicted the city, and for many days the pagan priests implored their gods to send rain. When the drought continued unabated, the priest* in one of the temples took matters Into their own hfnds, and proceeded to punish the gods. The idols of their own making were removed from the cool, spacious temple and placed out of doors in the full heat of the sun. Then the priests began to mock and chide them like so many children, even taunting them with such remarks as, “Stay there and see how you like to bake in the sun.” And there they sat until the rain came. About the same time an accident, which was immediately charged to the anger of the gods, occurred In cne of the mines of Korea. So the mines were closed until exorcist priests were brought from long distances to perform rites and ceremonies intended to appease the wrath of the gods. It seems, therefore, that the heathen deity which is liable to wrath, is very much like the Satan of the Bible. CHRISTIAN GOD IS HEALER OF SCIENCE. The Founder of Christianity repudiated the nation that Satan could cast our Setan, and gave as a reason that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. He once spoke of a certain woman who had been bowed together eighteen years “and could in no wise lift up herself.” as “a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, 10, these eighteen years." He healed her immediately by the power of God. and it was on the Sabbath day. The Christian God, therefore, does not send disease, but He heals disease. He is. in other words, the divine Principle of our health and holiness. To the Christian Scientist, the Chrißt idea bears the same relation to the divine Principle as the sun's rays bear to the sun itself. Christ Jesus declared himself to be the light of the world, —the same light that appeared in the beginning when God said, "Let there be light; and there was light.” That light was the saving Christ; but God, the divine Principle, wag the Creator of It. In due course, the coming of that light as a saving power was spoken of as “Immanuel. or God with us." which Is the appearing of divine intelligence In human consciousness, healing and saving mankind. Bible scholars m.ske a distinction between Christ and Jesus, which Christian Science explalna; for God appointed the man Jesus to the office of Christ. Christ Jesus therefore was the promised Messiah, or Mediator between God and men. He rightly declared himself to be. not God, but the Son of God. bearing witness through his healing ministry unto the Christ. Truth that redeems and saves all mankind. For a long time professed Christians fell Into simh Idolatrous methods that they utterly lost sight of the healing power of Christ. All they beheld was the visitation of evil, and they prayed after the manner of the heathen to appease the wrath of their God. In effect, they really became worshippers of Satan, and that continued until a young priest of the church started a movement which made it possible for people of every rank and station to read the Bible in their own language. This was the great reformer, Martin Luther. Asa result of this Bible study, the people began to gain a more correct view of Gcd. and occasional Instances of healing rewarded their faith. Avery significant and Important result of Luther's Bible study was the healing of his disciple, Melanehthon. The man had lost consciousness, hlg eyes were set, and the court physician had pronounced him beyond human aid. When Luther saw his dearest friend In that condition, he was visibly frightened. Then, rousing himself, he exclaimed: “O God. how has the devil injured this thv Instrument! - ’ There was the evidence of his Bible study; for he refused to attribute that sickness to God. Rather did he appeal to the Giver of all good to save his friend. To use his own words, I ‘'wearied His ears with nil His promises of hearing prayers, which I could repeat out of Holy Writ; so that He could not but hear me. If ever I were to trust In His promises.” Then grasping Melanehthon by the hand. Luther exclaimed, “Be of good courage, Philip; thou shalt not die. * * He has pleasure in life, not in death. * * • Therefore give no place to the spirit of sorrow, and he not thine own murderer.” In response to that right sense of God’s loving care. Melnnehthon's breath revived, but he acted very much like a drowning man who begs to be let alone that he may die in peace. “By no means, Philip,” cried Luther: “thou must serve our Lord God yet longer.’’ When food was brought Luther burst out with the threat. “Thou must eat, or I will excommunicate thee.” It Is Interesting to know that Melanehtlion responded to that true sense of God and lived twenty years longer. MRS. EDDY'S EARLY PREPARATION. It Is not at all uncommon for devout Christians to be healed because their study of the Bible opens to them a more correct view of God. Calvin, Knox, Wesley and other Christian worthies have manifested wonderful healing power, as their prayers lifted through to glimpse God's true nature. Such child like qualities as humility, spiritual receptivity and teachableness communicate those heavenly blessings to human consciousness So It Is recognized as a Christian duty to instruct the receptive thought of the child In the saving grace of God. It was this Christian culture that Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, received from her mother; for Mrs. Eddy was taught from her youth to look to God for deliverance in every time of

trouble. When Mary Baker was once taken with a fever, her mother reminded the little girl of God’s loving care and protection, and assured her of His healing grace, If only she would turn to Him in prayer. Mary did pray fervently to God for deliverance from the fever, and she was quickly healed. Naturally her mother was glad; for the healing had confirmed her loving trust in God's care. Many proofs of healing attended Mrs. Eddy's walk through life, attesting God's ever presence and confirming her taith in His goodness and power. Her faith was put to the severest test in IS6C, when she was facing death itself. Turning for consolation to her Bible, she begu to read from Matthe.w the healing of the palsied man. The account of the healing held her attention as never before, aud she must have glimpsed the great Truth that the divine power which had restored that man in Jesus’ time was still operative; for God's power can never change. Tue result was as immediate; for she arose from her bed perfectly well, dressed herself and startled her family by her sudden appearance. This was a most wonderful proof to her that God is the great Physician, whose healing power Is changeless; and then and there she determined to search for the scientific I.aw which must underlie such instances of healing. Mrs. Eddy is known to thousands of grateful men aud women throughout the world to be the Discovered and Founder of Christian Science, and because of that, ahe command* our profoundest reverence and gratitude. It was my privilege to know something of her as a loving, unselfed woman,—the kindest friend I ever had. My father was a deep student of the Bible, and wheu Christian Science healed two members of our family, he began the study of this Science and became an earnest Christian Scientist. For many years my parents were closely associated "with Mis Eddy, who was their pastor, teacher aud friend. At one time Mrs. Eddy spent a week at our home, aud I then had the opportunity of seeing her to be a gentle, affectionate woman, interested in our pets and problems, laughing with us and sympathizing with us, yet always mindful of her great mission to suffering humanity. An incident that occurred during her visit with us has always stood out vividly in my memory. One morning before breakfast my sister sat down at the organ and began to play and sing the good old gospel hymn taken from the psalms. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." My father joined in the song, and when it was finished Mrs. Eddy's door opened and she appeared, her face radiant. Then she told us that she had continued ail night in prayer over some problem, and the answer had come when she felt the spirit expressed in that song. This incident evidently impressed her; for several years later she referred to it in a letter to my father,

BASIC RULE OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. | Ever since the time of the early Christian Fathers, those who had received some proof of God's power and willingness to heal almost invariably lost the gleam that their pure faith had brought i them; and they dropped back, as did Luther, into dependence on material means and remedies according to tlie custom of their tim*s. But Airs. Eddy's purpose was to seek something more than faith, even the understanding which , would enable her to heal all manner of sin and disease with the directness and ; regularity of a Science; for that which ! one really understands can never be lost, j Possibly tho first step in gaining tha Science of Christian healing came with her ability to detect in her own mind tlie difference between the thoughts which come from divine Principle, and the aggressive suggestions of the tlesn, wihch St. I’aul classified ns tho carnal mind; for he said. “To bo carnallj minded Is death; but to be spiritually minded Is life aud peace." Here are two opposite sources of thinking, ns opposite as God and Satan. The thoughts coming from God express the Joy and harmony of life: but the suggestions of the carnal mind seek to drag one down to sin and death. Knowing that opposites can never abide together in one's thought at the same time, Mrs. Eddy was Impelled to work from the single viewpoint that "to be spiritually minded Is life and peace.” This, of course. Involved a search Into the understanding of the divine or spiritual Mind, in order to lay hold of that life and peace. Such a scientific segregation of thought is the first step in" learning to pray aright. Os all the systems of religion or philosophy known to men, none but the teachings of Christ Jesus and of Christian Science ever have held consistently to the one spiritual view point. These teachings, moreover, are the only religions that have ever demonstrated tho divine power to hea] physical sickness ns well as sin. A single sentence In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, presents the process of reasoning by which Mrs. Eddy gained that healing power. It is as follows: “Reasoning from cause to effect In the Science of Mind, we begin with Mind, which must be understood through the idea which expresses it and cannot ;be learned from its opposite, matter.” This is indeed the rule of logic which ! bases the teachings of Christian Science. [ Reasoning from the viewpoint of God, i or divine Principle, one must naturally | see all things as God sees them, — coraI piote. harmonious and eternal. Ills true I nature can be understood through the i idea which expresses that nature, even las the Idea of honesty reveals the nature of an honest God, but that nature can never he understood from its opposite, dishonesty. Since Jesus proved that healing, like honesty, expresses the nature of God, one needs only to recognize and heed God’s promises to hehl in order to experience that healing power, j Like honesty and goodness, this healing power must be obeyed from the heart ; and not the head, and only ns it is thus lived can It properly be understood and demonstrated. APPLIES TEST TO CHRISTIAN TEACHING, Mrs Eddy has declared in her book, Science and Health, that “the Sermon on the Mount Is the essence of this Science.” Let us now apply the test of our rule of logic to that standard of Christian teaching. After Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, a voice from heaven was heard to say, “This is my beloved Son, In whom I am well pleased.” When Jesus received thai testimony, and It was noised abroad that he was the Son of God, there must have burst upon his vision the full meaning of unlimited power.—the undisputed heritage of the Ron or God. Hus not every one at some time wished for unlimited wealth or power If one's wildest dreams were suddenly realized, how would he act? Woufd be not be tempted to use his power selfishly? It is not surprising therefore that Jesus was immediately driven Into the wilderness, and tempted to use ills power for selfish ends. Satan offered him all the kl gdoms of the earth, If only he would bow down to the claims of evil; but Jesus knew the impossibility of obeying two such opposites as God and Satan. When he realized that impossibility, the temptation ceased. Then the devil departed and only the consciousness of good remained. In the words of the Epistle to the Hebrews, “Though he were a Son, yet learned he 'obedience by the things which he auffereti” Having learned the divine logic that one can work only from God’s viewpoint and that the divine Mind can be

understood only through Us own ideas, Jesus entered upon his ministry, “teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of tile kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people." Scarcely any one listened at first to the teaching and preaching of Jesus, but multitudes thronged him for the healing. The lessons he gained from those experiences are summarized with matchless simplicity in the first and see ond Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount. "Blessed are the poor In spirit: for theirs is tho kingdom of heaven." Her* Jesus pronounces a blessing on those who have begun to turn from matter aud yearn for heaven. They respond naturally to spiritual truth ’ whenever spoken, and that spiritual receptivity, which is born of God, opens the way to heavenly harmony. “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” in the second Beatitude, Jesus considers those who have learned through suffering to turn from matter. Their suffering had prepared them for the Christ healing which brings them greater comfort than mere release from physical ills. It brings tlie peace and harmony of God’* kingdom, making the comfort as abiding as is the kingdom itself. These two groups of people seem to be the only ones ready for the kingdom. But Jesus is not unmindful that they are still on probation. Their blessing thus far has been partly the work of others, as when a child first begins to walk; for one group was helped along a preacher, and the other by u healer. Now they must learn to walk alone. The only way by which they can gain the divine power for themselves Is through the quality of meekness. “Blessed are the meek: for they shall Inherit the earth.” Dominion over all the earth is gained, not through matter or the human will, but through tlie dlvino Idea of meekness. Considered ns a group, the receptivity that leads to heaven, tho yearning that gains divine comfort, and the meekness that achieves divine power, are ail ideas of God. Through these Ideas, we perceive God's true nature, and we gain perfection by demonstrating these Ideas. TWO GROUPS ONLY ARE PREPARED FOR KINGDOM. It is sometimes charged that Christian Scientists make too much of the healing ministry of this Science, but the critics should remember the lesson of the Beatitudes, that only two groups ot thinkers are really prepared for the kingdom. What Jesus Iterated in rhe Beatitudes, he reiterat’d in the Parable of the Great Supper. When the invitations to the feast were given out, you may remember, al! made excuses. One had purchased some land, so he could not come, another oxen, and so on. They all begged to be excused but one. That one could not come because he bad married a wifo. They were ail so absorbed in material things that they gave no heed to a.dritual things. So the master of the feast found it necessary to turn to those who might be awakened through suffering to seek the kingdom. He invited the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind—those that mourn, and still there was loom, for not even human suffering had alienated the faith of rnuuy from their reliance oil matter. Such lessons have taught the Christian Scientist to serve those who are drawn of God, because they are ready and willing to receive the blessing according to the plan of our great Master. I’uless they come willingly, through the teaching or through the healing, they are not prepared to understand the spiritual message; for spiritual things must be "spiritually discerned." Jesus warned us, moreover, not to give that which Is holy to the unprepared thought. How many there arc who have read a few pages of our textbook, only to declare with a sweep of the hand “There Is nothing In it. Even bo, the healt >g challenges attention and it cannot be explained away. One should remember that there is something else beside human intellect necessary to eomprehen! spiritual things It is Indeed that spiritual sense, born of God. which overcomes sin and disease first In one's seif, aud then in others. But if one is wedded to some position in his church, business or society, and he begs to he excused, be is not ready for the blessing. Hence the usefulness of all proselyting propaganda. God must. Indeed open the way to every sincere seeker through God's own ideas. SIGNS OF TIIE COMFORTER. When Mrs. Eddy established her church in 1879. she declared that its object was to “reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing." The healing of sin has always been regarded as a province of the Christian church. We learn in Christian Science that God's power is always available to heal physically as well as morally. The same prayer

JOHN XY. I/OSH. John W. Losh, SJB Coffey street, today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for mayor. He is the I first to enter the Democratic race for this office. A lifelong Democrat, Mr. I.osh says he has lived, since 1895, in the Fourteenth ward, the ouly ward to go Democratic In the last general election. “While there is no doubt that the income of the city should be higher than in far distant days, because of increased costs, the present high rate of taxation is unwarranted, and if elected I intend to seek to reduce this burden materially,’’ said Mr. Dosh. '“I stand for bigger and better things for Indianapolis and would strive to make the various hoards and departments function to this end. I believe that a public office is a public trust and I would look to the best interests of all the people, regardless of party or. creed. I am convinced that the city wishes g j eal business administration of the people and for the people.”

healed physically and morally in Jesus' time, and that prayer can never be divided in its healing effect when one understands the tnehning of the Sermon on the Mount. John the Baptist once seriously questioned whether Jesus was really the promised Saviour. Jesus' reply to John’s messengers was the simplest and most convincing statement which would identify the messenger of God, for all time, with the works of healing.' “Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. Aud blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.” The Christian Science Church has adopted a similar method for answering honest inquiry about the Comforter which Jesus promised to send us from the Father, and which he defined as the “Spirit of truth.” Therefore all Christian Science churches throughout the world provide a mid-week testimony meeting, at which members of the congregation may testify to the healing power of God, which they themselves have seen or experienced. The divine power which can do good, but not evil, has been interpreted In Mrs. Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, with such clearness and simplicity, that it is a fre,quent occurrence with the sick and the sinning to be healed by reading this book. The last chapter of Science and Health contains one hundred pages of testimonials by those who have been healed of organic and functional diseases simply by reading and studying this book. Practically every sin and disease humanly known has, at gome time, been healed by the teachings Os Christian Science The question, “How does Christian Science heal?” Is answered by these fruits. There is no mystery about the operation of Christian Science, for the power of God’s truth is in itself, and it needs only to be understood In order to be manifested. Those who receive such blessings, naturally give thanks to God and to His Christ for the promised Comforter. NOT SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BIBLE. It should be well understood that Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, does not take the place of the Bible, but It has so clearly interpreted the Bible as to bring a return of primitive Christian healing. Moreover It confirms the divinity of Christ Jesus aud of his wonderful works. The fact that people have been healed of cancers, tumors, consumption, the drug habit, and so on. simply by reading a book and gaining its spiritual Import, shotild.be a most convincing proof that it Is not the human will or carnal mind which does the healing. Even Jesu* himself was forbidden to use his own will In healing, for it is the truth about God and man that make* us free. Healing is not gained from a knowledge of sin, matter or the carnal mind: it is gained from the truth about the spiritual Mind where life, health and happiness abound. Since the divine Mind is everywhere present, It is never transmitted nor projected. Since the fact* about God are the same everywhere, one needs only to realize those facts wherever he may bo, to know they are just as true everywhere,—right where a patient most needs the help. As one realizes that divine Presence, together with the nature of that Presence, he must realize the very presence of life, health and freedom; for “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." It should be perfectly evident that one enn never suffer from aught that, comes from the spiritual Mind, for that Mind brings only life and peace. If ho suffer at all. then, it must come from the carnal mind, which Is sin and death, and it must lie by reason of bis belief that God is afar off. which really Is not true. .Suffering, then, is really Just a false belief about Gods presence; for when one realizes God’s ever presence, the belief disappears and the healing Presence appears. St Paul described the effect of that false belief when he said, “The good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.” The same condition was referred to also by Job, who declared, “When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.” Such mental darkness therefore is but a belief of God's absence,—a belief In a power apart from God. The belief in a power apart from God. which seeks to pervert one's natural goodness, is referred to by our dictionaries as “animal magnetism.” It is not a modern invention, as you may observe from the reference to It by Job and St Paul. Bible scholars concede the Book of Job to be one of the oldest in the Bible, and this Book describes in detail how Job succeeded in clearing himself from the influence of animal magnetism so that he could finally declare, “Yea In my flesh shall I see God.” A NIMH. MAGNETISM TERM FOR "SATAN." Animal magnetism is undoubtedly what is meant by the term "Satan” In the Bible. It "changed the truth of God into a iie,” according to St. Paul, "and worshipped aud served the creature more than the Creator." Us mental occultism was employed by the magicians and sorcerers to oppose the works of Moses and Jesu*, the prophets und apostles. The modern exponents of animal magnetism are known as mesmerism, hypnotism, spiritualism, theosophy aud such like. These systems all employ some form of vibratory suggestion or transmission of thought, all of which is the product of the carnal mind, which St. Paul denominated sin and death. Only a finite belief of mind would need to be transferred from one place to another, and since it believes in the absence of God, it must be a false belief. When animal magnetism assailed the loyalty of Simon Peter, his great Master gave him a sharp warning. "Simon, Simon," said Jesus, “Satan hath desired to hove you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fall not." In addition to warning Peter, the Muster did only one thing. He prayed that the faith which he himself had fostered In the consciousness of tils disciple should not full. Tho substance of faith which ig born of God will survive the malice of the whole earth, and will eventually bring the Individual under subjection to the divine Law, absolutely, completely and finally. The mental qualities, or fruits of the Spirit, which come from God cannot be hypnotized. “Know ye not,” says St. Paul, “that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; v\ hetber of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Evil suggestions therefore can have no government over an individual unless he willingly and voluntarily yields ids obedience to them. As St. Paul declared to the Romans, "The law of the Spirit of life In Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and'death” — free to do the will of infinite Good. it is the nature of evil to claim autocratic power. This thought of autocracy seems to develop along two distinct lines; one through the autocracy of the individual and the other through the autocracy of the masses. The autocracy of the masses is well expressed today in a movement known as Boleshvism. This movement is the will of the flesh, organized to war against “the fruit of the Spirit.” it is an attempt to undermine tho law and order which sustain the State, the church and the home. Let us suppose for the moment that such a movement were to gain its object; the result would be t lie reign of disorder and lawlessness, disintegrating our most cherished institutions. It would mean the reign of Immorality, adultery, envy, hatred and strife, which are the works of the flesh, and which have no part in the kingdom of God. It would sow the seed of discord, distintegration, destruction and dissolution, which are really the elements of death. Bolshevism, therefore, can have no ther meaning than the ravages of death in business and society. Is REST NOW PHASE Ol OUR LAST ENEMY. When we observe the motives of Bolshevism, as well as the effect of Its crimes, it is quite clear that the great social unrest of today is but a phase of the last enemy. When the autocracy of individuals and the autocracy of tho masses yield to the government of life, liberty and happiness, as it is expressed through divine Law, there can be no repetition of the experiences on Calvary. Suppose Bolshevism has assailed the moral and economic standards of gome

great industrial plant, so that men regard thedr contracts as mere scraps ot paper—what is the remedy? It is to establish obedience to the moral forces which God bestows -forces which bind man to fulfill his contracts, to deal hou. I estly with his neighbor, and to maintain law’ and order as imperatively as these forces of God sustain the harmony of the universe. And how can such moral obedience be established in the individual Bolshevist? Nothing definite or positive can be accomplished from any standpoint but that of God Himself. The heaven towards which the Bolshevist aims is the final destruction of all law. a condition lu which God is eliminated and materialism reigns. To the Christian Scientist, on the other hand, heaved is gained not

by the destruction of law, but by the fulfilling of law under the supremacy of the God who Is Love; for “Love,” declared St. Paul, “is the fulfilling of the law.” The Christian Scientist learns through divine Love to heal the sick and the sinning and to establish a heavenly harmony here and now. The healing is demonstrated with such regularity and consistency as to prove the presence and operation of a fundamental law. Moreover, this law 1* so tangible and self-evi-dent that it can be not only understood, but taught to others. Such a demonstrable law must have a source or Principle which we call God. By the footsteps of healing, even the Bolesbvist may be led to recognize the presence of law and Its governing Principle. He may even experience the heavenly harmony o obedience to the law of Love. Then he will have attained the only true freedom; for “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.” The liberating Truth which establishes health and harmony “on earth as it is in heaven,” is indeed the promised Comforter, which Christian Science reveals and demonstrates.
