of Lecture,
A larg" audience greeted tllcknell
Young, a nwrnlK-r of th Board of Ic
turfuhlp of th Christian BcUrnce de
nomination, at the First Congregational
church last Saturday night. There were
prewtit many of Oregon City's moet
cultured people who pronounced Mr.
Young a brilliant lecturer. Many went
to hear tha lecture became of thrtr faith
In the creed, others because of curios
ity while there were a great many others
who went although prejudiced agalnut
Chrletlan 8:lenc and what It teachea.
But It was a nollcable fact that all re
mained until the cUnm of tha lecture.
Mr. Young I a very able lecturer and
gave perhaps the clearest and moat sat
isfactory exposition of Christian Science
that was ever afforded the people of
Oregon City. The lecturer was Intro
duced by II. U Kelly. Th following Is
a brief svnnpKls of the lecture:
H'hrlatlun Science may be defined a
the science of all that relate to God.
and Is sclenc not only In relation to
healing, but as corrective In relation to
all the problems of existence. Accepted
theories of religion and science have
acoffed at the aanoclatlon of these words,
but reason and logic show conclusively
that science must relate to truth, snd
therefore to God. since God Is th cause
and basis of sll thaUls true.
"Christian Science, doe not proclaim
a new Ood nor a new law, but come
declaring the same Ood. and the same
law that Jeeus declared, the one Infinite
eternal God, who Is good, and his good
and unchangeable law. Christian Sci
ence declares the omnipotence, omnisci
ence, and omnipresence of Ood as do all
other denomlnatlnna, and upon that ba
sis shows that evil has no power, know
ledge or presence; In other words, that
It Is unreal.
"Christian Science never ascribes evil
to God or makes Htm in any way re
sponsible for it, but shows that evil
originates In a belief of material exist
ence entirely apart from God. and un
supported by science or Truth. Of all
people, Christian Scientists believe most
absolutely In Christ. They accept th
teachings of Christ Jesus without reser
vation. They declare that his command
t heal the sick la aa binding as that to
preach the gospel, and that there Is no
evidence that It was Intended for his time
only. It was scientific religion that heal
ed the sick In the time of Jesus and his
dlaclplea, and it doea the same work now,
and must always do It, sine his life and
-Vorli were an example for all ttme, and
his method was a universal and Impor
table heritage of man. '
What Chrlttian Selene Meant.
"The steps of salvation In Christian
Science are not unusual. Aa In other
denominations they Involve the admis
sion or conviction of sin, sorrow for
wrongdoing, or repentance or reformation
manifested In a corrected life. Salvation
In Christian Science, however. Includes
exemption from sickness, want and woe,
aa well as from sin. It is not contin
gent upon death, but Is a way of life, a
way of righteousness. Christian Sci
ence Is founded upon the Bible. The
Christian 8clence Text Book. "Science
snd Health with Key, to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker G. Eddy, la a commen
tary upon the Bible. Other denomina
tions have commentaries, but no other
book In the world haa ever accomplished
aa much as this one. Thousands of
people have testified that they have been
I healed, aomo of them of so-called Incur
' able diseases, through the perusal of
1 this book. In some Instances this teatl
i mony has been given In courts of law,
and has not been In the least shaken by
crosa-rxamlnatlon. Many of these cases
Involved the most terrible disease
known to mankind, ttuch as cancer, tu
berculosis, locomotor ataxia, and In other
lustnnces such diseases as asthma, hay
fever, St. Vitus' dunce and others.
"It Is erroneous to suppose that
Christian Scientists deny the reality of
things. They affirm the eternnl exist
ence of all things, and that they exist In
the divine mind In their perfect Indi
viduality and prc-per order. They deny
the materiality of things, Including all
the discordant conditions that material
things manifest.
Not Opposed to Doctors.
"Christian Scientists are In no wise
arrayed agnlnxt , those who believe In
materia medlca. They were all believers
In It themselves until they found In
Christian Science a more efficacious way
of healing. This way they believe to be
the very best one, because It Is God's
way aa shown In the works of Jesus.
Although charitably disposed toward those
who practice materia medlca, It Is a well
known fact tfrat materia medlca la mere
ly an experimental system. Surely after
four thousand years It ought to be be
yond this stage. Furthermore, It Is a
self confessed condition of weakness that
combinations of medlcul societies and the
mdtciil fraternity generally should come
before our legislatures demanding spec
ial legislation, the tendency of which Is
nlmoHt Invariably to shut out all other
systems. Nor can any valid excuse be
given, as far as ChrlBtlon Science Is con
corned, on the ground of protection to
the public, sclnce the Christian Scien
tists do not advertise nor sanction quack
ery, and they believe In obeying the regu
lations of health boards In relation to
contagious and other diseases.
How Disease Is Cured.
Those who bollove that mentality plays
some part In disease and Its cure gener
ally look in the wrong direction, and say
that the cures of Christian Science are
effected by mental aufrfrestlon, hypnot
ism, will power, mental science, which
Is spurious und not related to Christian
Science, or to some other erroneous or
material belief. Christian Science, how
ever, doclures that It Is God who heals
diseases through Christian Science, and
they of all people know best.
Th Dlscovsrer and Founder
"We scarcely dare to think what the
world would have been had not there
appeared from time to time a man or
woman good enough and great enough
to b touched by eternal truth, and
brav and self-sacrificing enough to
stand for it Mr. Eddy discerned and
proclaimed to the world the Ood-gtven
freedom of the race from all sickness
sin. want and woe. She revealed the
science by which men may begin to re
alise that freedom and enter upon thlr
heritage of dominion over evil. Some
time this knowledge had to come. Ac
cording to the promise of Jesus It was
to be the spirit of truth. Some one had
to be good and pure above all .others In
order to perceive It. Any great discovery
along a given line is always made by ne
whose thoughts, desire, and studies, are
reaching beyond those of other people.
"That Christian Science has a place
In the world's thought today Is due en
tirely to Mrs. Eddy. There was a time
when she stood absolutely alone with
Ood, and Incurred the ridicule of Ignor
ance and the hostility of theoretical
forms of religion and material mode of
medicine because of her discovery of
Christian Science, Today the whole world
is uplifted by her teachings and example,
and because of It, human thought la
rising somewhat from the depth of
gross materialism. These are tu simple
facts. 1 should consider It presumptuous
to praise Mrs. Eddy. A character touch
ed by the deepest humility and Illumined
with love to God and compassion for
man Is Chrlstllke; It needs no eulogy.
Her life Is an open book wherein are re
corded only good deeds. The sign of
these times are prophetic. They point
to the gratitude to God that la appear
ing In the hearts of men for the life and
works of the leader of this great move
ment, destined aa It la to accomplish the
r herniation of mankind." (

dent last Tuesday, from the results of
which ha- died Sunday morning at 4
o'clock. The funeral wss held Monday,
Interment at Scott's Mills.
The details of the accident and eon
sequent suffering are harrowing In th
extreme. It seems that last Tuesday he
and another man were getting out saw
logs, and were hauling them over to a
skldway leading to Coal creek. While
hauling a big log over a rough piece of
ground It made an unexpected turn and '
caught Mr. .Barstow, who fell while the
log rolled onto him. dragging for half It
length acroea the hips and groins of tha
unfortunate man before the team could
be stopped. Mr. Barstow, waa alone at
the time and when his helper Anally ar
rived he was unable to remove the heavy
log. and the only thing to do was to haul
the tog off. with the team, and this waa
done. The injured man could not atand
to be carried, so he was dragged by th
arm for about 300 yards, put on a sled
and hauled home nearly a mile away.
Medical aid waa hastily summoned, and
an examination proved that the bones
In the hips were mashed and the lower
part of the abdomen was crushed, caus
ing serious Internal injuries. He appear
ed to be Improving at ft ret, but he waa
gradually falling, and said himself that
he had not long to live. Saturday night
and Sunday morning he appeared quit
cheerful and waa telling stories and jokes
to a circle of friends and relatives. Sun
day morning he said: "Let my boy coma
In to rubber at me too." He called hla
oldest daughter, a child of about four, hi .
"boy." When ahe came In he took her
hands, pressed them to his face and fell
back on the pillow dead.
Mr. Barstow waa about 35 year old
and leave a wife and three little girls,
the youngest only two weeks old. Au
