EVIL DOES NOT EXIST IN LIFE, SAYS LECTURER Christian Science Board Member Speaks at Tabernacle. 'Christian Science: The Science of Indestructible Good” was the subject of a lecture given by John Ellis Sedman. Los Angeles. Cal., in the Cadle Tabernacle Thursday night under the auspices of the local Second Church of Christ, Scientist. Mr. Sedman, who is a member of the board of lectureship of the Mother Church and widely known in religious work, said in parts “At this time I desire to call your attention especially to that aspect of Christian Science which makes plain the indestructible nature of good. When we look out over the world, and mark the problems which confront humanity, we can easily see that no teaching can lift the burdens from the shoulders of men, unless it can make plain the fact that the discords and distresses of the race have no foundation in God’s infinite plan. All the fears which beset humanity can be traced to the prevailing belief that evil is real and that good can be destroyed." "Good" Indestructible "They fear even for life itself, because they believe life to be destructible. Christian Science comes putting to rout all such fears with the comforting assurance that good is, always has been, and ever will be indestructible. There is no such thing as destructible or perishable good. “God is good, infinite, ever-pres-ent, indestructibly good, existing at the standpoint of causation. Obviously then, God can have within Himself no destructive element. It follows that since there is no destructiv element in God, there can be no destructive element in that which God creates. “Every one agrees that good and evil are opposites. Honesty and dishonesty are opposites. Love and hate, holiness and unholiness, sickness and health, happiness and unhappiness. harmony and discord are opposites. Mrs. Eddy w’as led by God to see that since good and evil are opposites, only one of them can be real. She saw that since the perfect God obviously produces the real good, then evil, the opposite of good, can not come from God and must be unreal. No one has ever been able to explain how a perfect God could create evil; and no one has ever been able to explain hour evil can exist as a reality if God is perfect and omnipotent.

Religion Takes Stand "Christian Science takes its stand squarely on this proposition and teaches that the perfect and omnipotent God can not, and does not, produce evil of any sort, and that consequently evil is that which may be supposed' to exi.**- but which actually has no existence. Centuries ago Jesus taught and demonstrated the unreality of evil. The people of his day thought of leprosy as terrible reality, a mighty power capable of destroying the health and the life of a man. If leprosy had been a reality. Jesus could not have destroyed it. He destroyed leprosy with perfect ease, because he knew that God never made leprosy nor any other form of evil. Christian • Science is proving today, as Jesus did. that e#il is unreal and powerless. •What is health? Well, it is not a material condition and it does not rest upon matter as its foundation. People will continue to believe that they can lose their good so long as they place that good on a material foundation. But all the while the facts is that the good rests upon a spiritual foundation. Health is spiritual. It is a quality of God, and God is infinite Spirit. Health is eternal, universal, and indestructible. It is an inherent quality of every creature which God produces. You have health because God is forever harmonious, and you reflect Him. "Your health is an inherent quality of your very being. It is eternal and indestructible, because you as a child of God are eternal and indestructible. and you are eternal and e. because God is eternal and indestructible, and He forever sustains and preserves you. We never lose our health. It can never be diminished or impaired. It is with us wherever we are. and it is ours to enjoy forever and forever without interruption. -Sickness a Delusion" "Sickness can not destroy health, it can not diminish or displace health What is sickness? It is not a material condition. It is not produced by matter. Sickness is a mental delusion. Sickness is sickly thinking. Now. there is no sickly thinking in God. nor in God s creation. Mortals, taught to believe in sickness, think in a sickly fashion, and a sickly state of mmd manifests itself in an inharmoious human body. But only God s thoughts are true, and whatever is un-Godlike is untrue, unreal and unnecessary. -Man in God s image and likeness receives all his thoughts from God. and he cognizes only that which God produces and cognizes. Consequently man in Gods image never entertains sickly thoughts, and he is never sick. When mortals entertain sfcklv thoughts, that false thinking hides from them the everpresent and universal health, just as a mist or fog hides from our view the sun. As soon as sickiv thinking is cast out of human consciousness by the truth of being, the sense of sickness vanishes into its native nothingness and then health is seen." parisTouncil allows SHOPS FLOODLIGHTING Merchants to Far U* Franc tor Projects Prirtlefe.

Value of Our Orchestra to Be Point of Drive Indiana State Symphony Society Receives Assurance That Support for New Season Will Be Great. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE value of orchestral music as a local produced ond controlled institution was intelligently developed by Claris Adams, former prosecutor of Marion county and now of Detroit, at the beginning of a drive which gets under way today. Mr. Adams spoke last night before the workers of the campaign in interest of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra at a dinner in the auditorium of the American Central Life Insurance building.

Even a prosecutor may do his bit 1 in office to promote music. That was developed in a humorous way by Mr. Adams when he stated that his former office made a recommendation for release on no bond because the prisoner sang in a “choir.” Just a laugh, but it explained a concerted movement to advance music. Asa center of culture in this city, ! Mr. Adams remembered the na- 1 tional reputation of such men as Riley, Beveridge. Nicholson, Thomas Marshall, Kin Hubbard and many others. The speaker remembered the growth of the Little Theater in In- j dianapolis as one of the advantages i that the people of Indianapolis have j realized. In speaking of the Indianapolis Symphony. Mr. Adams said, “Here is a co-operative organization which is different from anything else in 1 the world. Here real lovers of good music have banded together to j produce the best in good music.” This “consecration” on the part of the orchestra received tremen- j dous praise from the speaker. He spoke of the splendid idea of the musicians creating their dreams in producing good music. Mr. Adams referred to the need of art and beauty in the life of all people during today and the future. He gave the verdict when he said “this enterprise is not an experiment” as an influence or community life. Even the skyline of Indianapolis has an indication of cultural beauty, according to Mr. Adams. He has lived here and still has increasing love for the city. Gilbert Hurty. president of the society, then introduced Ferdinand Schaefer, conductor of the orchestra who promised that the first concert at the Murat would be a “great surprise.’” Following this. Mrs. Herbert M. Woollen, chairman of the drive and hostess at the dinner, turned the meeting into a session of instruction and co-operation of the workers and team captains in the drive.

GREAT DIRECTOR TO VISIT CITY Clarence Brown, a motion picture director on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer staff in Hollywood, will arrive at municipal airport in Indianapolis Saturday morning. Mr. Brown, a licensed transport pilot, is flying a print of his latest picture, “Night Flight,” to Indianapolis for Loews Palace theater, which they will play starting Friday, Oct. 6. Mr. Brown has also been selected by the officials of the national air pageant, which starts in New York on Oct. 7, to check the route for the night flight trophy race which they are sponsoring, starting from Glendale, Gal., at 5 p. m. on Oct. 2. All planes must arrive in Wichita, Kan., by 8 a. m. on Oct. 3, leaving there at 5 p. m., and arriving in New York not later than 8 a. m. on Oct. 4. This is the first flight of this kind and carries cash prizes of $3,000, with $1,500 and the night flight trophy cup to the winner. Mr. Brown is well known in the motion picture colony as a director of such pictures as “Anna Christie,” • Romance,” “Inspiration,” “A Free Soul," “Possessed,” and “Emma.” Although, there have been a number of air pictures, Mr. Brown stated recently, “I did not make any airplane pictures before ‘Night Flight’ because I felt all previous air stories had been synthetic and unimportant.” This story breathes reality. It combines both the drama of flight, and the pathos of the wives who must remain on the ground. To my mind it is the greatest air story ever written. “Night night” presents John Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Clark Gable, Lionel Barrymore, Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy. Mr. Brown will probably stay here several hours to arrange all the details with officials of the Municipal airport for the refueling and servicing of the planes as they arrive and depart on the last lap of the Night Flight Trophy Race. n a tt Indianapolis theaters today offer “Crazy Quilt” on the stage and

Campaign to reduce the number of stray dogs, without city tags, running over lawns and through sheets, was started today as result of numerous complaints. The action was taken following a conference between Captain Otto Ray, city license officer, and Dr. Elizabeth Conger, dog pound superintendent. Police have received many complaints about stray dogs, and a number of persons have been bitten bv dogs in the last few weeks.
