CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
FAITH IS EXPLAINED
Bicknell Young, in His Address,
Says Creed Is Scientific
; Because Spontaneous.
LECTURE TO BE REPEATED
Over 1500 Hear Exposition of Mrs.
Eddy's Teachings Process- of
Healing Is Discussed
by Speaker.
An audience numbering more than
1500 taxed the capacity of the First
Church of Christ. Scientist, last even
ing, where Bicknell Young, C. S. B.,
lectured on Christian Science. The lec
ture will be repeated this evening at
8 o'clock. Mr. Young was introduced
by Frank W. Waters, who referred to
the healing work being accomplished
by Christian Science, citing as one in
stance his own healing from chronic
stomach trouble of years' standing. Mr.
Young spoke in part as follows:
""Nobody has been asked to believe In
Christian Science, and nobody ever will
be asked to believe it, for Christian
Science joes not advocate a proselyting
process, but explains divine principle.
I should no more think of urging a
person to believe in Christian Science
than I should think of asking him to
believe In the multiplication table.
Neither one nor the other is in the
realm of belief. We are not giving
Christian Science lectures for the pur
pose of asking people to believe in it;
we are giving Christian Science lec
tures because we want to help man
kind, and we want to help mankind
because we want to help ourselves, and
have realized, that the best way to
belp ourselves Is to help others. No
human being can be selfish and ever
put off mortality. For one to attain
Immortality, which is the natural heri
tage that God has provided for all, we
shall have to be unselfish. Jesus did
not voice a mere religious admonition
but a scientific necessity when he. gave
the rule, 'Thou shalt love thy neigh
bor as thyself." He also said, 'Deny
thyself and follow me."
"It takes a great deal of instruction
to convince the average human being
that the word 'God' does not mean
something remote or inaccessible. Now
we can think certain ideas which re
veal God. We have seen that here;
These ideas reveal power because God
and power are one. They are God with
us. and therefore power with us. We
can think of our bodies, and as a mat
ter of fact we think of them a great
deal too much. Nevertheless, so long
as that is our tendency, it ought not
to be difficult for us to recognize
that the true thought of what God is
may affect our bodies, since some kind
of thought is doing something to our
bodies all the time. We walk because
of mind; and talk and think, and wink
our eyes, because of mind, and do
everything else we are doing because
of mind, and we do absolutely nothing
because of matter, for matter cannot
think nor talk nor walk by itself when
thought is absent.
Influence of Thought.
"To further understand the influence
of thought on the body we should re
member that it is impossible that there
could be a mind in matter, that what
Is governing the human body, ordinari
ly speaking. Is not a mind inside of it
but the great mass of human belief
which is entirely outside of the body.
All the functions of the body are car
ried, on because of that which is not
confined in tho human body but re
flected in the conglomeration of be
liefs called the human mind. Thou
sands of us may entertain the same
thought, but if that thought were to
originate in one's brain It would be
confined there, and only one person
could have such a thought and the
other person would be obliged to have
a different one. We can see from this
that even human experience shows the
utter . impossibility of confining the
mind or intelligence within the brain
or body. Yet so general is the belief
that mind has its source in brain cells
that when the brain of the human be
ing is Injured the mind is apt to be
affected unless something greater than
human belief or material systems In
tervenes. "Tho human body never gets ill be
cause of any inherent capacity to do
so. To put it exactly as it is, the hu
man body does not know enough to
Buffer. Deprived of mind It never suf
fers. In '.Science and Health' and her
other works. Mrs. Eddy has' most clear
Jyoset forth the fact that it is the hu
man or mortal sense of things that
suffers. The mortal mind, so-called, is
the sufferer, and she has enabled thou,
sands of people through her books to
prove that immortal mind heals. The
objection made to this is often t h
effect that you cannot have thought
mwiuui a. minner. ana this contention
Is based upon the supposition that a
person is a thinker by means of a mind
which ha contains. Christian Science
shows that mind is infinite, cannot be
contained, an therefore that a r.T-enn
Is not a thinker. The divine mind is
ne primary and only thinker. When
we learn to think with that mind
which Mrs. Eddy in 'Science and Health"
declares to be the onlv mind r,r mn
then what we call our mind will be so
purified and regenerated as to manifest
the omnipotence of good in healing the
weu as in saving the sinner.
Mrs. Eddy'a Discovery.
"If a human being uninstructed hv
Christian Science should hear of a
wonaerrui machine to which he could
resort at any time and have it work
in his behalf to remove hist .vli ten
dencies and any of his diseases, he
would be lost in admiration at this ex-
iraorainary invention and he would
exclaim. 'What a wonderful scientific
discovery!' It goes with out ftfl vinsr

lone New England woman whose
thought was clear enough to perceive
facts far more sclentiflo than anv
which had been revealed through the
evidence of the senses, and who was
strong enough of purpose to set forth
these thoughts In such a way that they
could be discerned and practiced, which
was of far greater Importance to the
human race than any other discovery

2500 DO SUMMER STUDY
GOOD ATTENDANCE REPORTED
AT VACATION SCHOOLS.
Misunderstanding; on Part of Par
ents Announced as Probable
Cause of Shattuck's Closing.
More than 2500 children are attend
ing the Portland Summer schools this
year.
This report was submitted to the
School Board yesterday by L. R. Alder
man, Superintendent of Schools. Of
this number 475 are in the Ladd School,
152 in the Trades School, 430 in tho
Holladay School, 170 in the Lents School
and about 900 in the various manual
training schools.
One discordant note appeared in this
otherwise encouraging report. It was
that the attendance at the Shattuck
manual training school lias been so
small that it was necessary to close it.
Only three or four boys attended. It
is believed that this small attendance
was due to a misunderstanding on the
part of the parents and pupils.
The manual training departments at
Ockley Green. Mount Tabor, Peninsula.
and other schools are well attended,
however.
The Board awarded the contract for
installing the fixtures In the rooms to
be occupied by the School Board in the
new Courthouse to the Union Store Fix
ture Company on a bid of $2950.
Through tho inefficiency of a former
engineer in the new Lincoln High
School one of the boilers has become
damaged and repairs must be made.
Contracts for repair on the Woodmere
and Peninsula schools were awarded
to the W. G. McPherson Company on a
bid of 9S70.
The application of Benjamin Brick
for the official indorsement by the
Board of The Juvenile Press, a paper
that he proposes to publish in the in
terest of the youth of the city, was
received. Action was deferred. A rep
resentative of the Russell Sage founda
tion explained to the Board the merits
of moving picture education. It is prob
able that the plan will be tried here.
BODIES BROUGHT TO CI1Y
SEARCHERS TELL OF FINDING
MR. 'AND MRS. C. B. SMITH.
Funeval Arrangements - to Be Com
pleted on Arrival From Minneap
olis of Dead Woman's Mother.
. Particulars of the finding In the
snowfields of Mount St. Helens of the
bodies of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Smith, or
Portland, who perished In a blizzard on
the mountain July 6, were brought to
the city early yesterday by the party
of searchers who .brought the bodies
by automobile from the scene of the
disaster.
The body of Mr. Smith was found
late Monday night at the bottom of a
300-foot precipice on the southwest
slope of the mountain. The body of
Mrs. Smith was found about 1000 feet
below and to the south of that of Mr.
Smith. Apparently Mrs. Smith after
becoming separated from her husband
stepped on an ice slide and was pitched
down the mountain side. Her slide was
stopped by a pile of brush. It was ap
parent that after stopping she had not
moved. She probably was unconscious
before she reached the bottom of her
long slide. The body was a short dis
tance above the timber line of the
mountain.
The bodies are at a local undertak
ing establishment, awaiting the fu
neral, which will be arranged as soon
as Mrs. Newkirk, mother of Mrs. Smith,
arrives here from Minneapolis. The
arrangements will be made by Guy C.
H. Corliss, an old-time friend of the
Smith-family. - " '
EXTRA POLES ELIMINATED
Common User Provision to Be
Adopted for Stringing "Wires.
Electric light and telephone poles
throughout the city so placed that the
present multiplicity of lines on some
of the streets can all be fastened to
one line of poles. Is a system of im
provement which will be worked out
by City Commissioner Daly as soon as
possible. Anouncement of the plan
was made yesterday, following an in
vestigation of numerous complaints
regarding unsightly poles in the streets
of the residence districts.
At present - each utility company
maintains Its own poles. It is believed
by Commissioner Daly that the new
charter gives the city ample authority
to enforce a common-user provision re
quiring all companies to use one set
of poles. The poles will be owned by
all compani.es Jointly, each paying a
pro rata share of the cost of main
tenance. , -
LIQUOR LAW IN COURT
Physician Alleges Ho May Prescribe
"Whisky in Dry Territory.
MARSHFIELD, OrT, July 17. (Spe
cial.) Judge J. S. Coke is wrestling
with a new problem in the Oregon pro
hibition law. Dr. Oglesby, of Cottage
Grove, has just entered a demurrer to
an indictment charging him with the
Illegal traffic in liquor by making a
practice of Issuing prescriptions to all
who wished to alleviate their thirst.
Cottage Grove being a. dry town and
the drug stores the only place liquors
may be obtained there. .
Tho grounds for his demurrer are
that the indictment does not charge a
crime, as the Oregon law does not fix
any penalty for a physician issuing
prescriptions to whom he sees fit.

PIER WDRK STARTS
Motorboat Landing to Be at
Foot of Stark Street.
HARBOR PATROL IS SHIFTED
Commission of Public Docks Takes
Advantage of Present Stage of
River to Start Operations
With Big Piledriver.
Actual construction work on the
motorbout landing and pier at the foot
of Stark street, for- which a contract
was awarded early in the Spring by the
Commission of Public Docks, will be
inaugurated immediately and an order
went forth yesterday for all launches
tied up there to find other moorings.
Harbormaster Speier shifted, the
headquarters of the harbor patrol force
to the foot of Oak street and the fleet
of floats used to reach the station also
were towed there to be pressed into
service when low water necessitates the
boathouse being hauled into deeper
water.
The motorboat landing will be a large
float and an adjustable slip at the
end of the pier will permit free use
of the landing facilities at all times.
The pier will be of steel and concrete
and while there will - be roadways on
each side as entrances to adjacent
docks, there will be space on the pier
for a. small building to be utilized as
waiting or rest rooms.
Piling was ordered yesterday and a
big piledriver will begin operations at
once. It is said, that hardpan found
there has caused difficulty in the past
in getting piling sufficiently deep to
hold, and submerged timbers remaining
from the slip of the old Stark-street
ferry may cause delay.
The pier "will be the first actual build
ing carried on under the Commission
of Public Docks and It will be a sub
stantial structure. It will be on a
level with Front street, so that only
the highest freshets will put it out of
commission.
VALLEY MILLS WANT DOCKS
Commission Will Hold Public Hear
ings on Wharves. Next AVcck.
"Whether the Commission of Public
Docks will make provision in the con
struction of wharves for tho accom
modation of lumber is to be deter
mined after a session to be conducted
July 24, at which time a delegation is
expected, to be present from the Wilt
lamette Valley Lumbermen's Associa
tion. David Davis, of that body, was
before the commission yesterday, and
said that if an open dock was provided
here, much of the material from the
Valley would be sent to Portland for
shipment. It was decided to communi
cate with George T. Gerlinger, of Dal
las, a director in the association, and
request that a committee be named to
confer with the commission.
The Commission heard from the Port
of Portland Commission as to dredg
ing in front of dock site No. 1, which
will be started in a week. Commis
sioners Kellaher and Moores reported
with reference to the Victoria dock
property, which was offered the Com
mission, that the owners will Include
a strip 30 feet wide and 170 feet long
as a roadway to reach the dock thai
will be a continuation of Dixon street.
W. P. Honeyman and H. T. Burntra
ger, arbitrators appointed to determine
the damages to. the Emerson Hardwood
Company In vacating part of the Mar
tin dock property, reported in favor
of $1300 being paid, which was adopt
ed, and the company will move by
August 15. Albers Bros, wrote thut
they would allow the North Pacific
fleet frontage on their docks of 490
feet except when the steamer Paralso
was in port, when it would be cut dow-t
to 270 feet, so the North Pacific is ex
rccted to vacate the Martin dock prop
erty soon and shift to Albers.
Members of the East Side Business
Men's Club are - to be heard by the
Commission July 24 with reference to
the move started to prevent a. public
dock being erected on the East Side it
present. West Siders will also b
heard then if desired.

That the former rates on wheat and

August 16 is certain, says Mr. Kirch
hoff. It was thought by some export
ers that owing to market conditions
the steamship lines would not return
the tariff to its former, standard in
advance of the free movement of new
crop cereal, as the charges were
dropped late in the Spring as an in
ducement to ship during the slack sea
son. They assert that- more buying
would be earned on by Japanese inter

rates.

For the next week the 0.-"WV R.'& N .,'

of the city on a free ri-de Monday after

juveniles, that will not carry the glad

after the parentless youngsters.
As the Hassalo is idle in port Mon
days, every one of the crew will -do his
share toward gladdening the hearts of
the passengers. "Captain" Ed Budd,
who is boss of the water lines, has an
iron-clad rule - that on the ''layover"
days of the river steamers they shall
not be used for any purpose and all

but when it was suggested that the
Hassalo be given over to the orphans
Monday, the superintendent of the fifth
division acquiesced and he is taking
as much Interest in it as though he
was an invited guest.

GIRL OF 15 PLAYS FUGITIVE
Lassie Runs Away From Home and
Enjoys Eluding Brothers.
GOLDENDALE, Wash., July 17.
(Special.) Maggie Watson, 15-year-old
lassie who recently ran away from the
ranch of her parents near Indian
Springs in the Simcoe Mountains, fol
lowing a quarrel with, her mother over
the correction of a younger sister, was
brought back to her home today by her
brother. The girl left home riding a
roan cow-pony with a shepherd dog
for a companion and led her people a
merry chase before she was finally de
talned bv the Sheriff at North Yakima
upon advices from Sheriff Fred Smith,
of Klickitat County.
The girl had no money and was cared
for by hospitable people along the route
who took her in and gave her food and
shelter.- She says she enjoyed the trip

PAVING MAY WAIT
Main Extension Fund Almost
Exhausted Now.
LAWYER SEEKS LOOPHOLE
Attorney La Roche Looking for Law
on Which. Public Utility Certiri
. catcs May . Be Issued to Re
fill Empty Treasury.
Although many suggestions have
been made by' city officials, no prac
tical way has been found by City Com
missioner Daly to raise money for the
extension 'of the city's water system.
With the City Attorney and other law
yers holding that public utility cer
tificates cannot be issued, and the char
ter clearly declaring that no bonds,
such as those for the water depart
ment, can " be issued without vote of
the people, it begins to look as though
the water department faces an issue
that may become serious.
Both water main extensions and
street paving work . will be affected.
Under the law it is necessary to lay
water mains in advance of the paving
of the street. If water main extensions
are stopped it will not be possible to
lay paving in many important streets
of the city where water, mains have
been proposed but have not been laid.
At present there are approximately
five miles of streets in which there
are no mains but upon which contracts
for paving have been let. This work,
it is said, will all have to be held up
as well as much other paving which is
contemplated.
Funds In the water department will
run the extension division but a short
time, according to a statement made
yesterday by Water Engineer Clarke.
It will be necessary to raise money
within six weeks or shut down the
entire construction division of the
office. ' This will leave a large mileage
of mains incomplete.
City Attorney LaRoche yesterday
started investigation of tho law to d
termine Just what the charter pro
visions mean in respect to utility cer
tificates and Just how far the city can
go In the Issuance of bonda. He says
he does not believe it will bo possible
to issue utility certificates now or in
the future excepting for the acquisi
tion or primary construction) of a
streetcar system, a gas system,: a tele
phone system or some other "public
utility. Inasmuch as the city now owns
the water department, which is a pub
lic utility, ho says, certificates cannot
be issued for extension of mains.
It is said that , the only possibility
of the city being able to sell bonds, at
has been done in the past for water
main extensions, is to dispose of them
under - the provisions of the old city
charter, which now. stands as an ordi
nance of the city.
