CROWD AT SCIENCE IECTURE
Many Portland People Enjoy Talk by
Clarence C. Eaton Sunday.
Clarence C. Eaton, the eminent
Christian Science lecturer ..gave a
most-masterful talk Sunday afternoon
in Shlvely's Opera House before one
of the largest and most representative
audiences ever gathered there. In
addition to the large number of Ore
gon City people in attendance, a spe
cial train of three cars carried Port
land people to this city for the occa
sion, and these were so filled that
many were compelled to. make the
trip on the regular street car.
Mr. Eaton, who is a member of the
Board of Lectureship of the First
r.t nhriut of Boston, talked in
V j 1 1 1 1 1 , 11 ui vy. '
his usual style, using no particular
theme or text, ana won tue ciubh at
tention and admiration of his listen
ers. Tii nntn of Mr. Eaton's talk
was, "Ye shall know the- truth, and
the truth shall mane you iree. ne
said all human beings were seeking
healing from sin and sickness and
would continue their search till they
found it. That while it was very com
mon for some one to be healed while
listening to his lectures, it was noth
ing in his persinality that caused the
healing, nor was it In the words spok
en; but because the thought was stir
red to perceive the truth which makes
free.
He said people had been believing
themselves to be material and to that
extent they seemed to be material;
while to understand what man created
in the image and likeness of God, is
would loosen the material clamps on
the body and people would awaken in
the consciousness of their immortality
here and now.
He illustrated the omnipresence of
good and the consequent absence of
evil by light and darkness; showing
that as darkness cannot remain where
light is, so evil cannot remain where
good, (God) is.
In regard to attacks which have
been made on Christian Science by
ministers of this city, Mr. Eaton an
swered their criticisms in a clear man
ner. He also explained the difference
between belief and understandings.
THE UNION HIGH
A POSSIBILITY
CANBY, RIVERSIDE AND MUN
DORFF PLAN TO JOIN FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION.
MEETING HELD TUESDAY
Plan Is Most CcTmmendable One, And
No Doubt Will Be Followed by
Other Districts of the
County.
As a result of a meeting of the
boards of directors of the Canby, Riv
erside and Mundorff school districts
and Cbunty School Superintendent
T. J. Gary held In Canby Tuesday
night, it seems., more than certain
that through the efforts of the citizens
of these live communities, a union
high school will be established. It
was unanimously agreed that the new
high school should be located at Can
by, which is centrally located for the
affected territory, and the directors
of the Canby school have generously
offered to furnish the necessary school
rooms as well as pay half of the
principal's salary. The sentiment of
all of the school districts included
is unanimously in favor of the project,
and petitions circulated are being
freely signed.
This movement, which will be of
great benefit to the smaller districts,
has been discussed in Clackamas
county on previous occasions, but for
some reason, did not gain public fav
or, but it is hoped that many other
districts, seeing the benefits derived
by the union hih school, will follow
the example of Canby, Riverside and
Mundorff, and thus allow pupils of
small districts the opportunity of re
ceiving a high school education. Sev
eral, districts In the neighborhood of
Clarkes and Highland have been con
templating the formation of a union
high school district.
