Gladstone Resident and Acre Tracts
On O. W. P. and Railway Line
It has been determined to put one-hundred acres at Gladstone on
the market in acres tracts. '
It will be sold in quantities as desired and on very easy, terms to
purchasers.
These tracts are immediately on the line of the O. W. P. and Ry.
line and are many of them in good cultivation. Much of the soil is the
finest garden land and rich enough to raise onions.
These tracts can be so divided as to present an ideal building site
on one of the best streets in Gladstone and extend back to include the .
finest garden land and all in cultivation. Purchasers willing to take
unimproved or partly improved tracts can do so at very reasonable figures
Prices of tracts fronting on the motor line will be $300.00 per acre,
and from that on down to $50.00 per acre.
Understand we propose to sell a tract of level rich, garden land on
the main line of the- railway for $300.00, or we will sell you six acres on
the main county road to Portland for the same price.
On these cheaper tracts the timber will more than pay for half the
purchase price.
Remember we will and intend for sixty days, and no longer, to
sell a large number of acre tracts in Gladstone for $50.00 per acre, and
every one of these tracts will have a frontage on the main county road
to Portland.
The terms in all cases will be made fair and to suit the conven
ience of customers.
Oregon City is rapidly growing northward, and any property
fairly situated lying between this city and Portland is better than
money in the bank.
We mean business. Come and make your selections.

MISS BROOKINS DELIVERS ABLE
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE.
Speaker Is Member of Board of Lec
tureship of Mary Baker Ed
dy's Scientist Church.
A large audience of Oregon City
people assembled at the Congregation
al church Tuesday evening to hear
the Christian Science lecture by Miss
Brookins, a member of the Board of
Lecturship of the Scientist' Church.
The speaker, who is one of nineteen
persons authorized to present these
lectures, was introduced by F. T.
Griffith.
Synopsis of Lecture.
Miss Brookins said in part:
Christ Jesus expounded and exem
plified Life that means power, au
thority, dominion over the fiesh. It
was not after the storm had subsided
but in the very midst of its fury
that Her said: Peace, be still, and
there was a great calm. He did not
wait for the ascension before declar
ing: "I have overcome the world.
In view of these assurances of man's
dominion over all material elements.
illustrated by what has actually oc
curred, it will never be found in the
mind of man to be content with any
thing less than the consciencious pos
session and exercises of life that is in
perfect consonance with absolute
good.
According to the teaching of Chris
tian Science heaven is harmony it
self, the absolute reign of Spirit with
out a rival powar that condition of
Mind in which Principle actually does
govern and control all with supreme
and undivided sway. This definition
has no reference to time or place,
Now let me ask you: Are you sat
isfied with the amount of knowledge
you have? Are you content with your
present conception of Being? Are you
not fearful, or at least doubtful as to
whether much that you suppose you
know is true? Do you wish what you
believe to be the present facts about
God and man and their mutual rela
tions, to be eternally true?
Yet Truth is unchangeable and eter
nal. Everybody knows that.
Rest assured that what is really
true now will be so throughout the
endless ages and what is not good
enough to be true to that extent is
not true now and never was true. So
then, Pilate's query: "What is truth?"
is a question, not to be deferred to a
dim and distant future, but is the all-
absorbing inquiry of today, and sure
ly, a most cordial welcome should
await whatever may offer anything
like an acceptable answer.'
And here let us note, as we have
seen before, that there is that "native
quality of aspiration, inherent in hu
manity, that will never, in its hope,
and expectancy, and eager pursuit,
I stop short of the absolute, the infinite
the everlasting Truth itself.
This being the case, there -must-be
an exact and unmistakable way to
this acme of achievement, this longed
for goal, this "the desired of all na
tions," and we believe such a way to
have been discovered and revealed to
this age, by our Reverend Leader and
Teacher, Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, in
what has been named by her "Chris
tian Science." We also -believe that
the teachings of this science, once
thoroughly understood and rightly
practiced, are fully adequate to the
accomplishment of even so infinite an
end.
First of all, be it known, that Chris
tian Science is not something that
Mrs. Eddy has invented, or manufac
tured in some warehouse or workshop
of human conjecture. It is not a sys-
item of mental theraputics in which
the muscles or organs or elements of
; mortal mentality are manipulated ior
! the benefit of the sick.
Knowing is knowledge, and real
knowledge is Science; and as Truth
alone can be known, the only absolute
knowing or knowledge, or Science,
must be that which pertains to Truth,
and achieves the purposes of good and
it is our purpose to show that Chris
tian Science is just such Christly
knowledge, or Christian knowledge.
To us Science, in order to be Science
at all, must be Christly, or Christian
Science; and must always, from ever
lasting, have been Christian Science,
coexisting with the Ancient days.
Then the advent of Christian Sci
ence at this time simply means that
the discovery was , made through the
pure, spiritual discernment of Mrs.
Eddy, that there is, and ever has been
available to man, a Science so Christ
ly, so unerring, and so comprehensive
in its nature and operation as to ac
tually meet the needs of the race in
overcoming its varied ills; that this
Science is the knowledge of God and
His eternal laws: and that coincident
with her discovery Mrs. Eddy found
ed a system of practice, teaching and
preaching, which is calculated to
bring this knowledge within the reach
of all who wish to avail themselves
of its beneficent offices.
When mortal thought misjudges or
misrepresents or maligns Mrs. Eddy
it must be out of total lack of apprec
iation of her mission, and of the won
der .of her fulfillment of it. No one,
having any adequate conception of
her history, can but be stirred to the
depths of his being by the unutter
able pathos and tlte unmeasured maj
esty of a life lived so near to God.
As a direct result of the advent of
Christian Science more unity of pur
pose and more concerted action are in
evidence along all higher lines of
human progress. The teaching re
veals one fundamental Principle nam
ed Life, Truth, Mind, Love, Spirit,
God, Infinite Being, hence the only
One. In this profoundly simple doc
trine of the oneness of Mind, of Spirit,
of Life, of Power, is found a basis of
action that precludes friction and in
sures harmony.
The claim has been made by those
who believe in minds many, that influ
ence fortgood may be exerted by one
human mind acting upon another hu
man mind through mermerism, or
hypnotism, or mental suggestion. .
But the one divine Mind that is Om
nipotent must include within itself
all the power there is. Hence there
is no agency no notency for good that
is not involved within it. Why look
for more than the all? . Or why ex
pect to find something outside of or
beyond the Infinite? ,
Christian Science teaches that the
two Christian offices of preaching the
gospel and healing the sick are so in
separable, so equal in importance, and
so identified in purpose and method
that one's Christian life is incomplete
if either one is omitted. In a sys
tem wherein science and religion are
one, "the theology must be curative.
Christian Scientists have. been call
ed a prayerless people, but like many
of the statements concerning them,
this one is quite the opposite of the
fact. Indeed, it is only through the
teaching of this science that we have
found it possible to obey the scrip
tural injunction: "Pray without ceas
ing. While no one can be continu
ally in physical attitude of prayer,
nor forever repeating its words or for
mulae, one can always be in silent
spiritual communion with his God.
So far from neglecting to pray, the
fact is the Christian Scientists rely
so entirely, so absolutely, upon this
avenue of the divine favor that they
are, on the other hand, often called
fanatical on this subject; and even
their common sense is called into
question because they do not exhaust
the resources of materia medica be
fore taking their sick to God in pray
er. But why should infinite and ever
present goodness and Love be made
secondary to man-made theories, that
lay no claim to exactness, but are in
deed self-confessed systems of experi
menting and guessing, which often
lack even the redeeming feature of
agreeing with each other.
Through the peculiar method ol our
Church service, in which the entire
congregation is privileged to partici
pate, our people are aurned to closer
and more general study of the Holy
Scriptures. It. would be impossible to
find any class of people more devoted
to the study of the Bible than the
Christian Scientists are, for they have
learned to regard It, not so much a
history of the past nor a prophecy of
the future as a revelation of eternal
Truth, which is "the same yesterday
today, and forever," and which conse
quently applies with full force to the
needs of the present time.
So this Science that is religious eb-
cause it is of God, and this religion
that is scientific because it is founded
upon eternal fact, instead of fancy or
blind faith, are welded into one sound
and demonstrable doctrine, whose
verity is attested by "signs following."
"My Doctrine is not Mine," said Jesus,
"but His that sent me. If any man
will do His will he shall know the doc
trine, whether it be of God or whether
I speak myself."
Now we believe Christian Science
is a rediscovery of what Jesus, taught
an demonstrated as to -what God is
and what God does. It is man's dis
covery of himself in the image, the
character of God, Spirit, Mind, in
stead of the effigy in matter, that
physical sense testimony would have
fastened upon him.
The only evidence we have of mat
ter is the testimony of the physical
senses, which take no cognizance
whatever of God. All will admit that
God is Truth as the Scriptures de
clare. It is plain that the physical
senses do cognize matter and all its
apparent conditions. But, as they
know nothing of God, Truth, then it
cannot be that matter is Truth, but
quite the opposite. Truth being real.
its opposite must be unreal, and that
is just what Christian Science says
of matter.
Again, spiritual sense, through
which we do apprehend and love God,
Truth, reality, reports absolutely noth
ing in regard to matter; another very
good reason for placing matter out
side the pale of reality.
Science eliminates the false sup
position of an element of evil that
cannot exist in the Omnipresence and
Omnipotence of God who is good ; and
restores the primitive and unadul
terated knowledge of the real crea
tion, pronounced by divine wisdom
"very good." That Truth, rightly un
derstood and separated from illusion,
