PLEA MADE FOR FIIIG CORRECT SPIRITUAL VALUE Rev, L, C, Fackler Points Out Danger of Failure to Obey God,. ‘‘Man' does not naturally possess the ability to value spiritual blessings,- ’ Rev. L. C. Fackler said Sunday night at St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church, while speaking on “Valuing the Excellent Knowledge of God.” “The external observance of the law is considered by many to be sufficient,” he said. “It would be sufficient for the observer of civil laws, but not for the divine. “Put your ear 'to the ground and listen to the opinions that are afloat about the observance of God’s laws. People are going about trying to establish their own righteousness- by fulfilling the letter of the law. They never kill, but still they hate. They never commit gross sin, but still that sin transpires in their soul. They say they worship God. but think they can do it just as well at home. ‘I am not so bad. Lord; what lack I yet?’ “The perverted mind says, ‘I am righteous and the Lord ought to consider what I do as noble and give me credit for it.’ There are not a few that think that the outward observance of some laws ought to atone for their evil; they want to set the good deeds over against their sins and strike a balance. Obey God’s Laws “More is needed than the external observance of the Jaw. The letter killeth but the spirit giveth life. The righteousness of which the carnal mind boasts will never avail before God. Our entire being is unclean. How can clean things—righteousness —come from an unclean. “The righteousness that avails before God is the righteousness of Christ, which is given to us of God. Even though people have this excellent knowledge of God concerning the righteousness that avails before Him, nevertheless they still rely on their human righteousness which will never save them. This they do because they do not know how to properly value their righteousness. “Much effort is spent in enlightening the mind concerning the things of this life. Not one-half of the people in our country are concerned about the enlightenment of the soul. Many that have their names on the church record are not vitally interested in divine enlightenment. They may know the word, sanctify us through Thy truth. Thy word is truth, but they do not care to have their being cleansed by the power of God, they do not want to separate themselves from that which is unholy. This shows how much people value the enlightenment of the Soul,” Rev. Fackler said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HEALING OF JESUS is not mm, LECTURER SAYS Mrs, Blanche K, Corby Addresses Science Meeting in School Building, The healing method of Christian Science, the healing method used by' Jesus, is unique, but there is no mystery about it, said Mrs. Blanche K. Corby, Los Angeles, Cal., in a lecture Sunday afternoon at Irvington School No. 57, under auspices of the Fourth Church of Christ, scientist. “The message that Christian Science brings to the world to-day Is one of good cheer; it is one of -hope, comfort, health complete salvation,” she said. “Every one desires to live because life is natural and normal, and a knowledge of the best means whereby life rnay be conserved and made harmonious is Indeed most worthy of one’s thought and consideration. Humanity generally has not looked to God for daily and hourly' help in times of trouble. It not believed that God is available under all conditions and circumstances; but there is ue'human condition so desperate, no disease so obstinate, that man can not be released from it through divine aid, for God, who is Love, Is all powerful.

Only One Satisfactory “Many theories of salvation have been presented to the world, but only one has proved satisfactory and un. failing. Christ Jesus came as the Way-shower he declared and demonstrated a full and complete salvation. Jesus did not teach that a man must die in order to be saved or reach God; nowhere in the Scriptures is found any authority for saying that lie considered evil and death at all necessary or in accord with divine law; but he did say, ‘lf a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.’ "Tho first step toward freedom from evil is generally taken through the desire for physical healing. The healing method of Christian Science, the healing method used by Jesus, Is unique, but there Is no mystery, nothing supernatural about it. It is the simple teaching of Jesus, the spontaneous and natural result of better thinking. Treatment Regenerating “Christian Science treatment creates a desire to know and to do the will of God. It Is regenerating in its lnlluer.ee. Mesmeric suggestion and hypnotism weaken tho subject’s ability to do what is right. His subjection to another mentality in the least degree is in Itself an evil. "The objection is sometimes made that Christian Science practice does not take into account the symptoms of disease, ft does, however, recognize the symptoms, but only to analyze the mental cause which has produced tho physical suffering. If the mental cause is found to be hatred,

fear, resentment, grief, or anxiety, what prescription could be administered Internally, or what application could be applied outwardly that could possibly correct such cause of disease? God Can Heal “The majority of cures wrought by Christian Science have been of diseases pronounced incurable, and the great ranks of Christian Scientists today are composed largely of those who have been compelled to turn to God for aid because some man had said ho could not heal them. That is Indeed a happy day when we learn that man cannot heal, but that God can and does. “Christian Scientists accept the teaching of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. If the Bible is God’s Word to His people, then It is for us today to know' and to understand it. No longer do Christian Scientists read the Scriptures in a perfunctory manner, but it Is their delight to read and study them daily.” Bandit Trial Postponed By Times special CRA WFOKDSVILLE.

LEGION ADJUTANT REPLIES TO CHARGE OF VET ORGANIZER Denies Expenditure of Y, W. C, A, Donations in Bonus Fight, Bonus legislation for service men was pending in Congress long before the organization of the American Legion or other veteran's organizations, Russell G. Creviston, national legion adjutant, declared today in answer to charges of George Brokaw Compton of New York that the legion originated the bonus plan in February, 1920. Comp! on Makes Charges Compton, who is organizer of the Veteran’s Legion in New York, made the charges in a letter to Senator Wadsworth.

Creviston pointed out that before first convention of the Legion at Minneapolis in November. 1919, bonus legislation was pending in Congress, and that Representative Fordney, of the House Finance Committee, made a personal appeal to Legion leaders to give an expression as to the form of bonus preferred. Creviston Denies “This was refused," Creviston said, “because it was felt Coneuess should be allowed to decide. ary, 1920, the national executive committee set out its five-fold plan.
