SAYS RELIGION IS BIG NEED OP WORLD TODAY i (Continued From Page One.) to this man and told him -what -was really true about his father. The man soon saw that he had been Inboring under a woeful misconception of his parent, who was now represented to him as a most loving father, full of goodness and compassion toward his children, never angry nor wrathful, but full of gentleness and. tenderness and kindness —just the opposite of what he had been taught to believe. "Many of us have been educated to believe what Is just as untrue concerning our heavenly Father; and not until Christian Science entered Into our lives did we learn that God is Love, full of goodness, mercy, and compassion; that he sends no evil, sin, disease, nor death upon man; that He is never angry nor wrathful with His children, but unutterably kind and loving. “Who but a God who is Love, a kind and considerate Father, Tull of compassion, and gracious,, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth' (Ps. WAS), could say to us; ‘Come now, and j let us reason together—though your sins 1 be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson. ; they shall be as wool’ (Isa. 1:18). When j one experiences forgiveness of sin, one ! can say with the Psalmist. “O give ! thani.s unto the Lord: for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever' (Ps. j 106:1). j LOVE manifested IS FRKCIOIS PEARI,. “Some of the terms employed in Chris- 1 Clan Science to define Deity to human consciousness are Love, Truth, Life, 'Spirit and Mind To one trained to believe In a God of wrath and vengeance, these synonyms for God, when studied in -the light of Christian Science, reveal en entirely new sense of heaven and earth and man. “The life of a professing Christian should prove to humanity that I.ove manifested Is the greatest thing in the world, that it is the one thing worth while, the pearl of great price. How can there be more than omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent Love and infinite manifestation? All other terms used to define Deity are but different names for divine Love. '■Christian Science reveals the spiritual idea, man, as forever inseparable from God. To know, then, that God is Love, makes men fearless, unselfish, loving. kind and compassionate. To know that God is Truth, makes men truthful, trustworthy, upright and honorable. To know that God is Life, makes men more mentally awake, active and useful, and. therefore. Increases longevity. To know that God is Spirit, Increases spirituality! and leads thought away from the body. ; To know that God Is one infinite Mind, j quickens one's mental faculties of perception and comprehension, and enlarges j one’s capacity for right thinking. “Love's invitation, given to the world through Jesus Christ twenty centuries r.go, ‘Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest’ (Mat. 11:281, is reiterated today in the Christian Science textbook, ‘Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures,’ by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. It comes with healing in its wings, revealing the sacred mission of Christ Jesus, to teach and to demonstrate the lesson of divine I.ove. If we would become acquainted with the Father, we must learn to love, for what saith the Scripture? ‘Beloved, j let us love ore another; for love is of! God; and every one that loveth is born of God. and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love’ (I John 4:7-8). r/-YS TRIBUTE TO MRS. EDDY. “Mrs. Eddy’s teachings have thrown so much light upon the life and mission of the great Saviour of men. that the whole world ries to call her blessed. She says in substance to her followers: ‘Tf you profess to love him. keep his commandments.’ Then she exjAains. in unmistakable terms, how we are to prove cur obedience. '‘When once asked whether she believed in the atonement of Christ, she replied : “I do: and this atonement be comes more to me since it includes mau's redemption from sickness as well as from sin. I reverence and adore Christ as never before’ (Misc. p. 96). “Christian Scientists do not believe that Jesus, the highest executor of God's law. atoned for our sins by annulling the rightpous penalty for’ individual wrong doing: hut that, by deraonstrat sng the omnipotence of good, he proved the utter powerlessness of evil, and thereby outlined for us the one and only way to escape the penalty for wrong doing, viz., by ceasing to do wrong Bv proving mans at-one meat with God. good, he became ‘the, way. the truth, and I the life’ to all mankind. “Christian Scientists do not question the spiritual origin of divinity of Jesus. They accept, without reservation. Mrs. Eddy’s statement that ‘Mary's conception of him was spiritual' <Science and Health, p. 332). They honor and revere the name of Christ Jesus, and they known only too well that something more than lip service is -.required to enable them to follow in his mental footsteps They recognize the necessity for cons“ crated studv and application of the sacred Word as presented in the Bible and In the Christian Science text-hook, if they would ever make their religion practical “One of the highest tributes ever paid the Saviour was by our revered Leader when she said: Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man. who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour sjw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man heaied the sick’ (Science and Health, p. 476). DEMONSTRATION IS DEFINED. “What is demonstration in Christian Science? It Is the practical proof of Gofl s power 'in ] presence. in moral and physical healing. Bv wav of illustration: Suppose that a Christian F'-’entint reads in the morninj? papers that some dreaded plague is about to make its jppearance in Hs community; that it has elsewhere already claimed its thousands of victims, and that materia medica Is unable to cope with it. Whut does he do? He instanMv refuses to accept sense testimony by striving to realize that the one Mind. God. Is everpresent and all fiowerful. and govern? the entire universe n perpetual peace and harmony; conse quently. that, 'here are in reality no evil minds to believe in disease nor to fear It; that there is really no evil power to mesmerize anyone into believing what is untrue. He knows that divine Love is supreme: that it casts out all fear. He persists in abiding in this secret place of the omnipotence and omnipresence of good ; and what is the result ? He remains fearless and strong; he escape* the devastating scourge himself, and he helps many others to recognize the nothingness of f'-ar and hypnotic suggestion This Is Immanuel. “God with us.” or demonstration. It is religion made practical. "One who knows nothing of Christian Science is confronted with the same glaring headlines, announcing the forthcoming plague. What does he do? He will most likely accept what he reads and will eagerly convey the Information to others. It Is safe to sav that it will not occur to him to think of God as au everpresent help. He believes that some awful calamity is about to be experienced : and he think? of it so much and becomes so fearful of results that al- : most before he realizes it, that which he I great'y feared has come upon him. Fear 1 and disease are more real to him than what he calls life, and he surrenders to them unconditionally! How true the 1 Scripture. Perfect love casteth out fear for fear hath torment. He that feareth i is not made perfect 1n love’ (I John 4:18i j Thousands upon thousands of humsn 1 lives are sacrificed every year, because people insist upon believing and fearing I what the senses tell them, instead of ! acknowledging the power and presence of God. “Demonstration is the [Kiser of divine I.ove made practical to humanity. One can not grasp the meaning of scientific demonstration nor become a successful practitioner until one learns how to feel and to express love to all mankind. The true Christian Scientist strives to abide in a healing consciousness, one characterized by genuine humility and confidence, as well as thankfulness’ for God s goodness and mercy. EXPERIENCE OF APOSTLE PAIL. “Had Christ Jesns failed to prove that ‘His word was with power’ (Luke 4:32), eoi'ld he have confessed power upon his disciples ‘to head all manner or sicxnes and all manner of diseaae' (Mat. 10:1)? Indeed not! No personal gift ever conferred real power upon anv one The giving of aplritual power to his fol-

lowers was nothing less than the practical proof to them of healing, accompanied by such audible attestation os 1 the Master felt led to give. And this is der jnstration, which fully ogrees with Webster's definition of the word: I *to show by proof,’ ’to establish beyond ! a doubt.’ “Christians today are given power to heal only when they lose confidence in matter, and turn to’ God with such implicit faith, trust, and understanding, that heallrg actually takes place. “The Apostle Paul’s experience on the island of Melita will illustrate this point. The poisonous viper had fastened itself upon his hard, and the\ barbarous natives were sure that he Would soon suc- ! cumb to the poison. But Paul’s faith and trust were in God, which gave him power not only to heal himself, but many others who later came to him for help. The barbarians, after looking on for a great while after Paul had shaken ‘off the beast into the fire and felt no harm,’ finally ‘changed their minds and said that he was a God’ (Acts, 25:5-6t. “The modern unbeliever, after Witnessing numerous cases of healing in Christian Science, must also change his mind if he would ever understand the operation of spiritual law and be given power to heal. “Thousands are daily turning away from matter to Mind for help, and the | demonstration of Christian Science is tak | ing place in their behalf. Many are be- < ing spared the experience of tMe surgeon's knife, a very few treatments often- ' times removing any necessity for an oper ! ation. -The man who is healed in Chris j tian Science receives an importation of spiritual power which soon enables him to comprehend the rudiments of Christian healing. SFRRENDER OF SELF WILL. 1 “Demonstration is not humanly willing nor outlining things to come our way It is the voluntary surrender of self-will and self interest for the good of humanity. Christian Scientists do not demon r at rate material things. They work men tally to bring their thinking into accord with the will of God. That is. they keek first the leading of divine wisdom atd then, as the result of unselfish obedience and trust, all needful things are added unto them. Demonstration dis criminates between human wait and spiritual need. Human beings may want a great many things which it is not at all needful nor even advisable for them to have. Demonstration enables them to i acquire only such fhiugs ns are useful and needful. In other words, it enables them to be truly economical. “Talking Christian Science, or arguing in the letter, without practicing its precepts, does not make religion practical Demonstration is the consistent blending j of practice and profession : it is the an- i swer to the unceasing prayer of ' hristian living, the overcoming, or Plotting out. of evil with good. “Why are Christians so v .tally concerned in the coming of Christ. Truth? j Is it not because Christ comes to un mask and to destroy the falsity of evil. | thereby revealing the all-presence of God. good ? Is it not perfectly clear, then, j that until one gains the right idea or good, one does not comprehend the mythileal nature of evil? Can one overcome evil before one understands, at least .u j part, the power and presence ot good? Christ Jesus plainly said: ‘lf I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin’ (John 15:22). The com ing of Christ, then, is the message or a sure salvation for all mankind. But until they receive this message aud lovingly obey its' demands, the problem of evil for them will remain unsolved. “WHERE GOD IS, EVIL IS NOT.’’ ; “Where Christ, Truth, is, God is: and where God is, evil is not. Evil, then, in all its varied phases. Is but a seeming absence of God The warning of Scripture is not against the preseuoe of evil, but against believing that evil has presence. “The only possible pretext for believing in evil is to disbelieve in the all presence of God, good. Does the Christian dignify his religion by thinking and, talking about that which has no real presence? Has he any Biblical authority for voicing error? Is not God s law just as much opposed to wrong thinking as to wrong acting Can one continue to think wrong anil at the same time expect lo realize the presence of God? Can one think sickly thoughts and at the same time realize the presence of health ? “Is not God’s presence something more than an idle theory Is it not something which cannot be annulled by the dictum of the personal senses? I*ray. what Is] meant by these statements of Holy ; Writ. My presense shall go with thee, and T will give thee rest” (Ex. 33:14)? and ‘Do not I flit heaven and earth? saith the Lord’ i.ler. 23.24). Do such statements suggest to the Christian something purely imaginary? To the Christian Scientist, the all presence of God is the eternal substance and reality of being The presence of good is the undeniable absence of sin and disease, else there is no foundation for Chris tian healing. The heart of man should rejoice to learn that evil is not presence at all, but is simply a suppositious ah sence of reality. Darkness is not pres once, but is only a seeming absence of ; light, else darkness could never be dis ! pelted by the light. God is light, and. since God is all. spiritual light must be the only real presence All else is but a seeming. Ignorance of God is not pres en<-e: but every Christian virtue bears witness to the everpresence of good. DOES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEAL? “Does Christian Science heal the sick? is a question that is answered today in a most practical way. In all part’s of the civilized world may be found living witnesses to the healing power of Christian Selenite. These recipients of God’s blessings will tell yon that they owe a debt of endless gratitude, not onlv to the one God and to His Son, Christ Jesus, but to the beloved Leader of the Christian Science movement, who. In the year 1866. discovered the science of Christianity, and labored unremittingly I and unselfishly to make it available to the whole world. “The great Master thought and wrought above and contrary to the senses, and. by so doing, he demonstrated the truth of his own most profound statement. ‘I and my Father are one’—one In quality, but not in quantltv. He was maligned and crucified for proving the unity and reality of good. "Mary Baker Eddy, because of her spiritual recognition of the Principle supporting Jesus' healing works, which enabled ber to annul sense testimony, likewise aroused the malice and hatred of worldlings. Because she trusted omnipotent Love to fill every human need, she lived to love and to bless all mankind. “One who was for many years a member of Mrs. Eddy’s household, when speaking of her work for humanity, paid this loving tribute to her character: ‘Our dear Leader was a spirituallv minded woman or she could never have wrought this great work for mankind. Her goodness was felt as well as pro- ] claimed by others and we cannot speak ; enough In her praise.’ • • • Christ Jesus said: ‘I and my Father are one.’ Mrs. Eddy said, ‘Follow ronr Lender only so far as she follows Christ' (Mes. 1902, p. 4). She did not set aside the Saviour. She knew his worth and his work, and she tried to bring to the world the import of that work.” SAYS SCIENCE HEALS ALL. “Many thousands of brave, loyal Christian Scientists, in all sections of the world, opposed by both medicine and eoclesiasticism, have achieved such notable ] success as to place Christian Science healing far beyond the experimental j stage. Physical healing In Christian ! Science, however, Is secondary to the ! conquering of sin, expressed in the deeprooted vices and passions of she carna! 1 mind. There is not a single known dis ! ease or sin that cannot be healed in I Christian Science. I “This Science is pre-eminentlv success- | fill in dealing with so-called contagious ; diseases, where the whole mental and j physical manifestation is one of extreme fear. We soon learn In Christian Science that health is far more eohtagious than disease. Th moment we become conscience of the presence of divine Love, all evidence of disease and all fear of contagion disappear. This proves that disense is mental and that Mind and not matter is its remedy. “No Christian Scientist attaches im portanc© to th miscroscopie germ theory of disease. On the contrary, all of Ills time is occupied in magnifying the things that make for health and happiness. Since God never made n disease germ, blind human belief must father it: but belief never gave real power nor life to anything nor to anybody. Then, why flee from a lifeless germ as one chased by ‘the sound of a shaken leaf (Lev. 26.36)? Th so-ealled disease germ that I? supposed to travel from city to city, and from continent to continent, is nothing more nor less than a disease thought germ; and when Christian people grasp this fact in the light of Chris-

tian Science, they will lone their fear and dread or disease, and will deal with the germ theory as a purely human invention. “Unless we intelligently reject the mental suggestion of disease and germs, what is likely to take place? Sooner or later, the mental image of disease will be externalized or shadowed forth on the Abody. The only way, then, to protect the body is to be ever on guard to dismiss from consciousness the thought of disease and sin the moment It is detected. If we are vigilant in dealing with disease and germs as thought, we shall be saved the experience of a socalled diseased body. HAYS GERM THEORY ON DOWNGRADE. “The modern germ theory of disease is already well on Us way to a state of innocuous desuetude, if reports from medical journals are to be credited. While experimenting upon subjects selected for the purpose, thousands, and even millions, of different disease germs have been taken into the human system without producing the slightest effect; and at the onset of various disease, no germs whatsoever have been In evidence. aU of which goes to prove the fallacy of the theory. Some leading physicians of the country do not hesitate to denounce it in forceful terms. “When we learn that God's thoughts, or ideas, are omnipresent and inseparable from tbeir divine source; that they alone are really endowed with power and intelligence— thoughts of sin and disease vanish into nothingness. A correct or scientific understanding of God heals because it cannot help healing. Healing through Christ, Truth, takes place as naturally as the shining of the sun. - Every ray of spiritual light that floods human consciousness declares the presence, power, and glory of God and His Christ. How, then, can it avoid dispelling the dark shadows of finite sense? Truth heals because it has na affinity with error; Love heals because it has no affinity with hate; Mind heals because it has no gffinity with matter. "treatment in Christian Science means doing something for the sick according to an understood Principle, instead of experimenting upon them with poisonous drugs, and then waiting for days, weeks, and sometimes for months, to see whether they get well. Christian Science treatment gives sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf, by doing something for them which no other form of treatment ever has done or ever can do. When it gives a sufferer Immediate possession of health and strength, after materia medica has pronounced its verdict of hopelessness, it does something for him which physical sense does ifbt and cannot explain. SCIENCE PROVES ITSELF. “When all manner of diseases are healed in a few Christian Science treatments. and feay and sin are destroyed, does this not prove that intelligent action has been taken in behalf of the afflicted? When the anxious aud feartul mother asks help for her innocent babe, who, the doctors say, cannot possibly survive, and Christian Science gives iustant relief by breaking the mesmeric environment of ignorance, fear, and anxi ety—-who would presume to declare that nothing has been done for the helpless infant? If Christian Science treatment makes a specialty of any one thing, it is in doing something for suffering humanity, instead of thrusting God aside in the hour of trouble by bowing down to the verdict of the deceitful senses. “When these senses pass Judgment upon man, declaring that be is sick, even going so far as to pronounce the verdict us death upon him, is it the exercise of good common sense’ to sit idly by and accept the testimony of five witnesses who know positively nothing of the Goil who healeth all thy diseases?' Or shall we rise in righteous rebellion against such testimony, knowing that the power and presence of God and His Christ are more to a man than anything else In the world? It is the physical senses, remember, that advise and would compel the use of material remedies; thaf call siu and disease real, and man h mixture of mind and matter; and that demand complete medical supervision and control of the human body. Is the hand of the Lord shortened that it can not save'* God never Inspired faith in the use of poisonous drugs. It goes without saying, then, that Christian Science treatment Is not founded upon the belief of lutelli gent matter. "Let particular attention be called to the fact that Christian Science treatment is not the erroneous influence of any form of mesmerism or hypnotism. The experience of a young man seeking help from a professional hypnotist will make his point clear. His very first visit resulted in seeming relief from extreme pain, but the relief was of short dura tion. Again, he sought the same source for help and with like results. He soon found himself making several call? a day, and each time the interval of apparent ease from pain grew shorter, until finally, after spending several hours a day with his would be helper, and ei perienctrig no relief at all, he discontin tied his calls. SAOS SCIENCE HEALED HIM. “At this juncture a friend recom- | mended that he try Christian Science. He j did so and waa quickly aud permanently j healed. The Christian Scientist, tinder I standing the omnipotence and omnipres I cnee of divine Mini, was enabled to prove to the patient the unreality of pain, and ! this healed him, and awakened within ] him a desire to know more abouc Hod, something which never takes place nnder ! the soporific influence of mesmerism or hypotisra.

•'From various human quarters there homos the amazing assertion that Chris tian Science treatment is nothing hut human suggestion. Any one who knows how to give a scientific treatment, knows that suggestion plays no part la it. When one learns how the sick are healed in Christian Science, one will neither ad vooattNnor make use of hypontic stigges tlon. Suggestion is the child of s^lf-will; it is a lawless human make-believ, which neither heals nor blesses. “Hundreds of men and women baTe had their experience with the so-called clever salesman, who persuaded them, against their own better judgment, to purchase some needless article. This phase of wilful suggestion may sometimes appear to be clever, but it is never Christian. A traveling salesman, forgetting the Golden Knle. and wishing to establish a record for himself, sometimes yields to the temptation to make use of suggestion. What Is the result? Word soon reaches him from his honse that certain orders taken bv hint a short time before have been cancelled by letter or wire from the purchaser. It salesmen were Christian Scientists they would surender their positions rather than stoop to such wrong methods. “With a certain class of business men a successful salesman is one who can sell a bill of goods to a dealer who does not need them. Christian Science dose not support any such theory nor does It uphold any such practice. A salesman has no right to argue mentally that a certain dealer wants his goods and that he will buy them whether be needs them or uot. The use of mental argument hy which to accomplish any selfish purpose is prohibited In Christian Science. "Human autocracy, personal domination—all selfish human control, plays no part in legitimate business. Instead of being remedial or constructive, it spells Inevitable disappointment and defeat for any one who continues, either Ignorantly or intentionally, to make use of it SCKNCK NOT HOLDING THOUGHT. “Asking our friends to hold good thoughts for us is a careless habit. If we want them to treat us, to pray for us scientifically, we should say so. Tt should he stared, right here, that holding thoughts for persons In order to smooth over their aches and pains is not the practice of Christian Science. Yhe rule for Christian conduct In Christian Scirncp is to keep one's own thought pure at all times, and to believe only what Is spiritually true about God and man. This rule definitely separates Christian Sciencp treatment from the practice of so-called mental science and mew thought.’ “Christian Science so thoroughly refutes the false claims of clairvoyance, that when a clairvoyant turns to Science for help, he soon loses all faith in his art and forsakes Us practice. The sooner such erroneous practice Is destroyed, the better for humanity, for somo of the saddest of human experiences have come to those who have been Induced to believe its misleading divinations. “Christian Science treatment is the plain and simple truth, understood and demonstrated, which makes free Indeed Tt is the prayer of those who think and live above the plane of human suggestion. “kt this particular time, when the thought of the human body is being so abnormally accentuated, when spiritualism and mediumship are so obsessing the public thought, and the unavailing at tempt is being made to associate the name of our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, with those wbo believe in communion with the departed, let it be said that Mrs. Eddj never believed in spin tuftiisni. nor

in medlumship; never believed in any communication between the living and the departed; and In proof of these statements, one will find in her textbook. Science and Health, a chapter entitled Christian Science versus Spirifualism.’ Many spiritualists, after turning to Christian Science, have lost all faith in spiritualism, because Christian Science has enabled them to prove conclusively that Spirit cannot be rightly conceived of as less than Infinite. SAYS PUBLICITY DUE TO WORLD WAR. “The publicity which is at present being given to spiritualistic claims, is, no doubt, one of the experiences made possible by the recent World War. which has called forth the mental anguish of multitudes, longing for communion with their dear departed. If all who are still clinging to this belief of embodied and disembodied spirits, will only look to Christian Science for a present spiritual sense of their loved ones, all tears will soon be wiped away, and the understanding will obtain that Spirit Is Life, God, and that man, ihe image and likeness of God, never can be separated from eternal Life. “When it is better understood that man lives, and moves, and has his being In Spirit, and not In a mortal body, the socalled communications of spiritualism will rightfully be classified as sense .i_. :omena, unknown to the so-called departed communicator, but belonging wholly to our present plane of existence. “The religion of Christ Jesns pnt Into dally practice. Is the only thing that can rid the world of the chaotic eondl dons which now seem to prevail. Coincident’ with the demonstration of the Chris:iau virtues is the disappearance of that ‘greatest curse of the human race’—selfishness. Human laws will, no doubt, continue to be enacted during the transitional period; but not u'ntil tne higher law of Spirit founded upon the First great Commcmlment, ’Thou shalt have no other gods before me’ is recognized and obeyed, will the reign of human selfishness give place to universal peace and brotherhood; to humanity, justice and kindness. ■‘Christ Jesus, the grest Wayshower, offers complete deliverance to the world from its social, civil, political, and rel liglons differences. Ilis unparalleled example of self-sacrifice still shines forth as a beacon light to nil who would learn the divine solution for every human problem, be It small or great. Strive, as one may, to find a shorter route, one will discover, sooner or later, that the Christ way of learning Life, so long lost to the world through dogma anil persecution, has again been given to humanity through the tireless, unselfish efforts of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. She it is who has so quickened the universal consciousness to the need of studying and practicing the precepts of the great Nazarene. that countless thousands have been enabled to say of him, as did Peter of old: “Thou art the Christ, the Bon of the living God.” (Matt. 16:16). If the time spent in forcing human theories gnd opinions upon others, could be devoted to a more serious study of the Sermon on the Mount, and to the practice of its precepts the reign of unselfishness would sooner be recognized in every departmeait of human life. Jesus' teachings are proved to be practical In Christian Science. The practice of Christianity has net failed. It was the lack of Christian practice which caused the church to drift into dogmatism and formalism, and to substitute creeds for a demonstrable religion. CAPITAL AND LABOR DISCUSSED. “The seething conflict between capital and labor is largely an exhibition of human selfishness, due to false standards of education. If the world's educational institutions could be founded upon the Christ, Truth. Instead of upon belief In intelligent matter, there would sooner be a race of people, whose only aim In life would be to understand and to do the will of God; to live a life of Christian service. “The selfish materialist, whether capitalist or laborer, believing In the reality of matter. Is living a life of material accumulation and hoarding. What will awaken him? He must learn bow to give, how to lend a helping hand to others, how to share with them his own blessings. It is what a man does with his wealth thHt makes him truly wealthy. “The Uelplecs sick man Is Just as much a slave to matter. He, too, is bugging his sick beliefs, and constantly adding to them. What will heal him? He must learn how to give, how to expre-s tie good, belonging to man's real selfhood. The moment ho'begins to give out that which is real and true about (Jol and man. he begin* to see ‘the light of life' (John 8:12), as expressed by the poet: “ ‘Tbou art not here for ease or pain, But manhood’s glorious crown to gain,’ “The arrogant sinner, by constantly Indulging bis false pleasures, is like-

wise leading a life of accumulation. What will save him? He, too, must learn how to give, how to express that which belongs to God’s man. The moment he experiences repentance and the Joy of living In order to make others happy, he awakens from his selfish dream, to find out that ’the earth Is the Lord's anil the fullness thereof’ (Ps. 24:1). ACCEPT CHRIST. “This, then. Is the solution of the problem of capital and labor. Both must accept Christ, Truth, as their schoolmaster and learn the leßson of true giving—how to live iu order to bless all mankind. When the Golden Rule is scientifically understood aud lived by both capital and labor, strikes will be un- ] known. Any act of coercion which inflicts untold suffering upon thousands and millions of innocent people is very remote from the Christ method of learning how to live so as to bless and to be blessed. “Both capitalist and laborer can begin today to overcome, intelligently and sci entifically, everything that stands between them and the redemptive gospel of service; and this overcoming will result in the adequate adjustment of every human difficulty. In other words, they must learn to live and to love aB true Chris-y tlans. There is positively no other way of pacifying or neaiing their grievances. Employer and employee alike must understand that they are the servants of Christ, Truth, and are not laboring primarily for material gain—‘for the meat which perisheth—but for the establishment of the reign of righteousness on earth. "Let capital and labor get together in an unselfish d'Bire to do the will of God, and there will be some mental dividends declared and distributed, which will bring about conditions heretofore unknown, and the conviction will obtain that all men are created to live and to let live. More religion and less selfishness will solve every world problem. “Under the leavening Influence of Christian Science, the problem of uni vernal suffrage is rapidly approaching realization, but it is not yet divorced from some pronounced phases of human selfishness, due to a lack of understanding of man’s relationship to God. Christian Science places no barriers in the way of woman’s coming Into her own. She has stood for and she still stands for the noblest, the purest and the best in human life, und no imperious attitude of her loidly companion can reduce her to any lower rank. HOLDS SOLI TION OF TEMPERANCE. “It was the puro-mindedness of a woman that gave birth, centuries ago. to the Saviour of the world. It was the exalted spiritual perception of a woman. Mary Baker Eddy, that gave to the world, in modern times the great spiritual discovery of Christian Sclcnco in that wonderful comnanionpicce to the Bible. Science anil Health With Key to the Scriptures.’ One cannot consistently re fleet upon the part that woman has ever played in the great humanitarian, educational, and reform movements of the world, without being willing to accord her the right of suffrage. “The demonstration of Christian Science will prove to be the only possi ble solution of the temperance problem, because It scientifically destroys the individual's mistaken sense of pleasure in matter. WrAld prohibition Is not the ultimatum of tertiperance reform, but it voices the quickened sense of millions who would do all in their power to save the world from widespread dedauehery and crime. The present crusade against the demoralizing tendencies of the carnal mind has the unqualified support of every true Christian Scientist, who will patiently await, through prayer and demonstration, the final con quest over all evil. “Christian Scientists have the reputation of being a happy people. They have good reasons for being so—they have learned that the foundation of all true happiness 1? the expression of divine Lovo. In loving their neighbor as themselves, they have leaned to look for the good In their fellow-man and to eschew the evil. In the words of Sheridan they “ ‘Believe not each accusing tongue. As most weak persona do; But still believe that story wrong Which ought not to be true.’ They believe In thst wholesome, conatruetlve, right thinking that constitutes practical religion and enables them to do their full duty to God, to their Leader, to their country, and to all mankind. “In the words of our Leader, ‘the aong of Christian Science Is, "Work—work—work watch and pray" (Mes. 1900, p 2). Christian Scientists, therefore, are Joyous, willing workers. In fullest sympathy with those high Ideals which make for a true Christian democracy, and ther are doing their part to have these ideal?

realized in the preservation of a righteous government of the people. They know that to work is to pray with the understanding, which means ta maintain a right mental attitude at all times. Only by so doing can they make their religion practical and meet the world's great needs. “Its loyal followers recognize in Christian Science the demonstration of true Christianity, and they will press on in their crusade against all evil, until Christ shall reign supreme In the affections of men. Our beloved Leader’s prophetic benediction rests upon the hour: ‘The elements of earth beat in vain against the Immortal parapets of this Sclefice. Erect and eternal. It will go on with the ages, go down the dim posterns of time unharmed, and on every battlefield rise higher In the estimation of thinkers and in the hearts of Christians (Misc. p. 383:10 13).’’ -R- - - FIND METHOD AFTER SEARCH Lincoln Memorial Saved by Rock Strata. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Government engineers, who have been working desperately, for several months to save the $3,000,000 Lincoln memorial from settling hopelessly into the made ground upon which It was erected In Potomac Park, not far from the Washington monument, believe they have found a way to accomplish their task. Layers of solid rock have been struck 100 feet nnder the surface upon which concrete piling can be placed to support the structure. Discovery of the rock was the first ray of hope for the safely of the building which has rewarded the engineers since it was found the reclaimed land could not bear the weight of the edifice. Undermining of the building in search for rock was begun In July when it was discovered the walls had sunk four inches, and three shifts of sixty men each have been working on the job. I rank Kemon, engineer in charge, said excavations had been made under a dozen piers and that the concrete piling will be placed as soon as the thirty feet pf water under the buildlug is drained off—Copyright, 1921, Public Ledger Company.
