When Mrs. Hums heard this she expressed herself vigorously as sick and disgusted with the whole affair, and said she was willing to return to Cali fornia and forever renounce the Oriental lover. Thereupon she was allowed to leave, after being given her belongings which she had brought with her. as well as the money which she had paid for the tickets to Boise. She said she would go to work and make her own living In the same way she had been accustomed to In the past. "I did not know I was doing anything against the law." she said.

I went to a theater Sunday nigh' with him and all the time I was conscious of the looks on people's faces. Several girls In California have done the same thing that Is. gone with Japs. Some of them have married them and get along with them better than they do with white husbands.

She was much concerned about the fate of her Jap lover and asked several times what disposition would be made of him. She was also frightened for fear she would be con fined in Jail. The Japanese said he had come over to America in I9i2. when he went to work for a Mr. Somers at Hollywood. There he met Mrs. Hurns at a hotel across the street. He also said they had tried to get married In Mexico but found that they had to live there six months before they could be made man and wife. The sword he carried, he said, belonged to his father, who was a great soldier in the Japanese war and he thought a great deal of it. He asserted he had been engaged to the woman for three or four months and that the ring she wore was one he had given her. Several letters were found on the Jap which indicate Mrs. Hums was taking the initiative in the strange Infatuation. In one of them she accuses him of being obstinate and of not wanting to get mar ried. From the same letter it would ap pear the Jap is a rather lazy creature and doesn't want to work.

THE MORNING OREGOyiAN, WEDNESDAY, 3IABCH 24, 1909. CAUSATION IH MIND Professor Hering Lectures on Christian Science. MASONIC HALL CROWDED Former Johns Hopkins Faculty Mem- ber Talks on "Salvation," Show ing It to Be Mental Process, Subjugation of All Evil. Professor Hermann S. Hering. a Chris tian Science lecturer' of note, delivered an address last night in the Masonic " Sj nrnxs. Temple In which he ably expounded the principles of Christian Science, the sub- SLj? i?Le Iecture beinif "Christian Science: The Science of Salvation " Professor Hering was formerly a mem ber of the faculty of Johns Hopkins TJni- r"i .haS b6en a memb" of the Christian Science denomination for the past 16 years. In spite of the fact that the lecture had been given in the after noon, the Masonic hall was crowded last night with those desiring enlightenment regarding the teachings of this faith. The speaker was introduced by Howard C. Van Meter, first reader In the local First Church of Christ, Scientist. In his opening remarks Professor Her ing dwelt upon salvation, its meaning and importance and Its bearing on the Individual. He pointed out that salvation means the overcoming of evil, the mas tery of the world; that it ia not worked out until the individual's dominion over matter is secure here or hereafter; and that such dominion can obviously be at tained only through effort. A knowledge of Christian Science was, he said, fo be the means of accomplishing that end. Professor Hering'.s discourse was In part as follows: Must Understand Terms. In addressing an intelligent audience upon the subject of "Christian Science: the Science of Salvation," It is well, first of all, to reach a- mutual under standing as to the meaning of the terms. Science means exact, systematized, and demonstrable knowledge of facts, laws and cases, while according : to Smith's Bible Dictionary, 6alvation means "de liverance from temporal evils and earthly destruction." 1n other words, deliverance from evil.. Hence "The Science of Sal vation" means in substance that demon strable knowledge which affords deliver ance from evil. St. Paul admonishes us to work out our own salvation with fear and tremb ling. This Scriptural command means far more than the common belief that salvation Is assured by simply having belief or faith in Jesus as the Son of God. Such saving faith Is vitally neces sary, but it is only the beginning of our salvation its spiritual basis. Then must follow the working out of our deliverance from evil, our separation from sin, from the bondage of this world, from limitation, failure, sickness, disease, death. Salvation Mental Process. In working out our salvation we must first see that salvation ' or deliverance from evil is a mental process, takes place in mind; that it is a transforma tion through mind and that it is both ethical and philosophical. The Bible declares that "to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Christian Science teaches that matter and material existence are phenomena of mortal mind, a concept of existence obtained through the physical senses, a misapprehension of reality held by human consciousness when uninstructed by Science, an appearance instead of an actuality. It Is simply an imitation or counterfeit. Now it Is not the appearance but only the original that has power, intelligence and substance. The manifestation of growth, action or being in matter is but a material concept of spiritual facts. When we recognize God as the only Mind, the only cause. Truth is reflected In consciousness and existence is har monious. When we believe causation to be material or in mortal mind, we put our trust and dependence in a shadow a false belief, and existence so-called is discordant, . liable to disease, disaster, death. In order to work out our salva tion we therefore need to understand causation. The ordinary human concept of mind is that which thinks, feels or wills, the Intellect, or the activity of the brain.

The average Jacobs-Stine Company's salesman has pointed the way to profit to more people than any other class ' of men in the City of Portland. He has his finger directed towards success and merely asks you to look. At the present time he is calling your attention, to WELLESLEY ON-THE HILL THE JACOBS-STINE COMPANY SALESMAN is the advance agent of prosperity. He has 1 n - . maae money lor your -friends, many of them, and he is today in the same attitude that he always has been, seeking an opportunity to make money for you. Ignore the advice of one of these salesmen and you blind yourself to the future of Portland and your own interests. You cannot sidestep the fact that you are living in a city that is going forward at a vastly greater momentum than any other municipality on the American continent.

IF IT WASN'T GOOD, WE WOULDN'T HANDLE IT We JACOBS-STINE COMPANY Largest Realty Oneratora is - Christian Science reveals the fact that Mind is divine principle, the infinite Life, Truth, Love, omnipotent, omniscent. omnipresent, the all-inclusive, eternal, unchanging, all-wise being, the only cause and creator. Christian Science makes it clear that material existence is not the manifesta tion of this divine mind, but the phenom enon of the counterfeit, called mortal mind. It Is this false concept of existence that does all the wrong thinking; that believes in sin, disease and death; that claims there Is life and Intelligence In matter. The difference between the method of healing through mental suggestion, or hypnotism, and that of the divine Mind, the Christ healing, must be clearly seen. When the effort Is made to heal by suggestion, the operator endeavors by means of hypnotism to make the patient believe that he is not sick. He attempts to change the belief but the cause of disease remaiifs and in time manifests itself even in worse forms. The patient is no better off, he has not risen in the scale of being, he has no more manhood or moral courage, and does not know any more about God and his Christ than be fore. Man Reflects Divine Mind. The true Christian Scientist reflects the divine mind, stands on the basis of God. man and the universe as spirit and spiritual, as love and its manifestation, as mind and Its Ideas perfect and har monious. Hence he understands the un reality of matter and evil and knows that man is not sick, but that the patient Is simply suffering from a false mesmeric belief. Prom that standpoint he pro ceeds to correct the errors of belief with the truth of being and thus establishes harmony on a spiritual, scientific basis. It is not to be wondered at. indeed, it is inevitable, that Christian Scientists should love Mrs. Eddy for having brought to the world this science of salvation, the true knowledge of God and man, the spir itual understanding of the Holy Scrip tures, which enables them to know them selves and to demonstrate that "saving faith" which alone leads to heaven. Mrs. Eddy did not simply state her discovery to the world: she first demon strated it and then offered it as a demon strable science for all mankind to profit by. This science overcomes evil, by giving a true knowledge of God and His Christ; it enables all humanity to work out their own salvation and reach that pure consciousness which Jesus called the "kingdom of heaven."

We may differ on the answer to this question. We are certain, however, both you and ourselves, that the safest, largest and steadiest income in Portland is from money wisely invest ed in improved Port land real estate. Two and three-story apart ment houses upon valuable property yield as large as 10 per cent and more. Store and of fice buildings on down town corners yield even greater - earnings. The better the corner, the bigger the income. Who is the man that can say that there is a better available business site -in the City of Portland than the Northwest cor ner of Fourth and Al der streets? Who is the man that would not, if he could, own that corner, providing it had a first-class office building upon it? By the same logic, there fore, why should not the man with $100, $500, $1000 or $5000 be willing and anxious to become a part owner in such a building? He is willing, but he has never had an opportu nity. Today this com pany offers him that opportunity. He may invest in the Profit-Sharing Unit Bonds of MULTNOMAH TRUST BUILDING NO. 1 any amount of money he has or can obtain, with the assur ance that he will receive in return an average of 9 per cent on that money for nearly thirty years, receive his money back, together with his share of a large accu mulated surplus invest ed during that period. This is a proposition for the small man, the man of medium means and the capitalist. All are given an equal chance and will share alike in the returns.
