Larg Audience Knjoy Scholarly Ad dress of Ipeaker. lynopel 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." ( NINTH GRADE DEFEATED. All-Barclay Wins At Football by Score of 10 to 0. Before a large number of spectator at Willamette Falls grounds last Saturday afternoon, the All-Barclay football eleven subdued the Ninth Grade team by a core of 10 to 0. The officials for the first half were Wilkinson, umpire; and Caiiflf, referee, but In the second half, Jack Caufleld succeeded Wilkinson aa umpire. Mr. Cole kept time and saw that neither side worked over time. The game was quite an Interesting one and waa much enjoyed by the many friends of the two competing teams.

Ben Barstow, of Coal Creek. I Fatally Crushed Whil Logging. Ben Barstow, a farmer living on Coal Creek, was fatally injured In an acci 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 rora Borealls, Dec. 10. HAVE FINE ASSORTMENT.
