CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IS ONLY WAY OUT, SAYSJECTURER Arguments of Medics and Theoiogists Are Discussed by Speaker, “The understanding and practical application of the Sciencf of Christianity affords the only definite way out of the many problems which confront and perplex humanity today,” declared John Randall Dunn, C. S. 8.,. Boston. Mass., in a lecture on “Christian Science: The Solution of the World’s Problems” at B. P. Keith’s Theater at noon today. “Let us consider the case of a man ‘financially sick,’ or who may be said to have ‘a sick business,’ ” said the speaker. “Can this .spiritual understanding of creation help him? Even so. Possibly every business man will agree that a higher, happier and more hopeful view of things would work wonders in the business world. No realm is more susceptible to mental influences than the so-called business world. Superstition, fear, doubt and panic find easy access thereto, and if not checked and nullified by the action of truth, these may work much mischief with the Individual, the community or the nation. Efficiency of “The Word” “Should it be thought unreasonable that the word of God, the reflection of infinite mind, which in Jesus’ time stilled storms and raised the dead, should be able in our day to quiet fear, restore confidence, bring about harmony in an organization and promote and bring to success a righteous, business venture? “Thinking men of every shade of creed and politics agree that in a quickening of the world’s religious or spiritual sense lies the salvation of the perplexed and war-weary human j family. And there they stop. And there Christian Science begins, for it ; alone offers that practical salvation j which begins with the individual's thinking, and In renovating and spiritualizing this is destined to save i both men and nations. Science as Life-Saver “Picture, if you will, a life-saver heroically battling with the waves In I the effort to pull ashore a ship wrecked man or woman. Then 1m- j aglne. If you can, others standing on :he shore, and Instead of encouraging ’he rescuer and assisting in the grand work of rescue, jeering and tuntlng the rescuer, criticising his methods and predicting disaster. A rather un- , thinkable picture, is it not? And yet this very thing happens In thousands of instances dally when same earnest Christian Scientist attempts the work of rescue for a ship-wrecked brother or sister. “Material medicine scoffs, old theology hurls its anathema, the worldlyrinded sneer and shrug their shoulers; and. in spite of all this, the sick .:,d sinning and heart-broken are f-ing rescued in ever-increasing num -rs. “What glorious quick healing work y we expect to see with increased msecration on the part of practioner and patient, and a lessened atred and Intolerance with the on- j .ooking brethren not of our fold.”

GOVERNOR’S TRIAL IN COUNTY COURT BEGINS MONDAY Case to Open After Six Months of Activity Concerning McCray Affairs, Final arrangements for the trial of Governor Warren T. McCray on charges of embezzlement and larceny, which opens in Criminal Court Monday, are being made. The Governor will go on trial after more than six monthsjof investigation and activity concerning his affairs. He will be the first Governor of the State over to defend himself against Criminal charges while in the Governor’s office. The trial will be held before Judge Harry O. Chamberlin of the Circuit Court, who has consented to act as special judge In Criminal C9urt in place of Judge James A. Collins. A special venire of 200 has been drawn for the jury. One hundred will report Monday and the remaining 100 will report Wednesday. Trial May Last Three Weeks Attorneys estimate the trial will last three weeks. This would bring about its conclusion just two weeks before the Governor Is scheduled to go on trial in Federal Court on charges of using the mails in a scheme to defraud. April 21 has been set as the Federal Court trial date. Although a total of fifteen indictments was returned against the Governor, the State has elected to try him on only one, the Indictments charging embezzlement and larceny growing out of his transactions with the State board of agriculture. At various times the Governor obtained a total of $155,000 from tho board. He contends It was a loan. The State contends the money was Intended for the Discount and Deposit State Bank of Kentland, of which McCray then was president, and that McCray diverted it to his own use. Brown May Testify I. Newt Brown of Franklin, former secretary of the board, is expected to be the principal witness for the State. He testified in the McCray bankruptcy hearing In Federal Court that he dealt directly with McCray In the transactions. Other members of the board are rlso expected to be called. Other Indictments, which still are charges against M "ray, but which will not be used, at least at this time, charge forgery, false pretenses and Issuing fraudulent financial statements, Tho trial is expected to be r "legal battle of the ages.” Tho State will be represented by Eph Inman and Clarence W. Nichols. McCray will be represented by James W. Noel, John C. Ruekelshaus, Michael A. Ryan, Martin Hugg and George Barnard. Selection of a jury will come first. This probably will consume considerable time, as each prospective juror is expected to be asked whether he has read of the cast and whether he has forme,! an opinion. The wide publicity given McCray’s affairs makes I it unlikely that many can be found I who are not acquainted with the

case. Prospect If Guilty If Governor McCray should be found guilty, either In t’riminal Court or in the Federal Court, it is considered certain Immediate steps will be taken to bring about his removal from office or his resignation. Following his Indictment members of the Republican State committee and of the Legislature met to consider the case. At that time there were conflicting opinions as to whether the Legislaj ture could be called for impeachment | purposes without being called by the | Governor. It is said the majority opinion is that the Assembly could so convene. One report has It that If McCray Is found guilty and refuses to resign, the Legislature would convene within three days. The law makes it impossible for a man convicted of a felony to hold public office, but the conviction does not become effective until appeal to higher courts has been taken and ruled on. MRS.
