Willis F. Gross.
That the miracles related in the Bible
"were not brougrht about through sus
pension of the laws of nature," but
"were the divinely natural result of the
operation of law," was the statement
made by Willis F. Gross, C. S. B., who
lectured on Christian Science yesterday
afternoon in First ChurcH of Christ,
Scientist. Mr. Gross will repeat his
lecture thin evening and tomorrow
eveninar at 8 o clock.
In introducing the lecturer "Walter
G. Hayes referred to the applicability
of Christian Science to the emergencies
of business life. He said that the un
changing foundation of truth had been
discerned by Mrs. Eddy and made the
basis of the Christian Science church.
which has now come to be recognized
as a permanent church organization
after 40 years of attack from other de
nominations.
Mr. Gross said In part:
Truth Is Universal Remedy.
"That mortals are materialists In
theory and practice cannot be denied.
While It is admitted that there Is
spiritual truth yet it is held that mate
rial truth, so canea, is just as real i
spiritual truth, and has vastly more to
do with the present life and all that
tends to make this life desirable.
Thought and effort have been in the
main along material lines, and what
bas been called progress has been in
no small degree merely a change of be
lief. Mortal man has been compelled
to admit that much of what he at one
time believed to be true Is not true.
The progress he has made, the good he
has attained, and the freedom he haa
enjoyed, has been relative rather than
absolute.
"The Master's demonstrations were
so varied and complete that It seems
strange humanity has not seen In these
healinir works the proor that tne un
derstanding of truth Is the universal
remedy for all the Ills of human ex
perience. The failure to realize this
can be accounted for only aB one con
siders that these works were and are
regarded as miracles 1. e., they were In
some way accomplished contrary to the
natural operation of the laws to which
men and women of today are subject.
This belief has prevented the practical
demonstration of a power which is able
to save from all evil.
"Impossibilities do not occur. What
has been done in the past can be ac
complished today. If a particular re
sult has followed the combination or
succession of causes, that result will
always follow when the same and no
other Influences are at work. No man
ever undertakes that which he believes
to be impossible.
Miracles Not Snperaatural.
'Believers in the Christian religion
have accepted the miracles of the Bible
as demonstrations of divine power.
Christian Science presented a new view
of those miracles when it declared that
the wonderful works accomplished by
holy men of God were not contradic
tions of law. They were not brought
about through suspension or the laws
of nature, nor by arousing dormant
forces and powers which have since re
turned to their former state. Those
healing works were marvelous because
human experience was unfamiliar with
them. Nevertheless they were the di
vinely natural result of the operation
of law which is ever present and ever
active. Because a law Is not recog
nized Is no evidence of its nonexistence,
and because the operation of law is not
comprehended Is no proof that the law
Is inoperative.
"All the progress that has ever been
made, or ever will be made, is the re
sult of obedience to law. The wonder
ful inventions of the last century were
as possible 6000 years ago as they are
now. There Is no law In operation, or
in existence, today that has not been
in operation since time began. And
there never has been a law which
not in operation at this moment. If
this be true, and if the works of the
Master and his followers were the re
sult of obedience to law. then all those
works are possible today, and even
greater demonstrations can be expected.
for no one believes that the posslDin-
. ties of infinite law have been fully real
ized.
"The'term Christian Science was used
by Mary Baker Eddy to designate the
purely spiritual method of healing
which she discovered. While this sys
tem of healing is not in accord with
the various material methods known
as medical practice, and while it does
not harmonize with some of the present-day
theology, nevertheless it is
Christian In spirit and practice, and it
is scientific It is based on divine prin
ciple and can be demonstrated only
as this principle is unaerstooa ana
obeyed.

Dr. Oorby In Sermon on ResurTec
tion Calls Attention to Transfor
mation of Disciples From
Traitors Into Missionaries.
Easter services at the First Univer
salist Church yesterday brought an au
dience that filled every seat to an lm
creislvs service conducted by the pas
tor. Rev. Dr. J. D. Corby. The choir,
under the lead of Miss Crego. rendered
a special programme, the regular choir
being augmented by the addition of
Mrs. Harry McQuade, who sang "The
Lord Is My Light:" Miss Lewis and
Miss Matteson. The decorations on the
platform were a pair of gates in white,
with the panels outlined in Oregon
grape, while masses of dogwood were
effectively placed at each side.
When Dr. Corby announced the fecrip
ture lesson, three young girls dressed
in white came on the platform and re
cited the Easter Scripture lesson, two
of them opened the gates, dtsclostnr
masses of beautiful Easter lilies against
the soft green background; the girls
then claced lilies on the altar, above
which was the motto "He Is Risen."
In his sermon Er. Corby said: "Na
ture has her graves and they, too, are
In her garden: from them the myriads
of her dead arise, each one aa a torch
along our path to the empty grave In
the garden of Joseph. Never was there
a flock of frightened sheep more Impo
tent than those disciples who forsook
and denied Jesus before their master
crucifixion. To send that group of
timid, unstable disciples against an or
ganised empire and entrencnea laws,
was like sending half a dozen lambs
to capture a pack of timber wolves.
But something happened that trans
formed feebllngs into giants. These
frightened lambs became the Hons of
the tribe of Judah. The faith and
church they stood for has gone forward
like an advancing hummer.
"Increasingly the Interest In Immor
tality has grown. There is no sub-

earth was all. The soul Is big with
prophecy. The seed moves toward a
sheaf. Nothing Is destroyed, nothing
Is lost. But we want the door of the
grave to open not merely on a longer
life but a higher, more abundant life.
"As you hear the Easter bells and
swelling anthems, cast aside the grave
clothes of habit that bind you, leave
the grave of materialism or selfishness.
Do not merely believe there is another
world after you pass through the grave,
but come into communion with Christ.
Wherever you act and live In the spirit
of Jesus, with tenderness, love, self
sacrifice, there you rise with him, and
share his joy and victory."

CHRIST FAITH'S BASIS
Resurrection Great Proof of
Divinity, Says Pastor.
GRAVE IS OPPORTUNITY
Christian Conception of Immortality
Based- on Three Principles, Says
Key. V. AV. Voungson in
Easter Sermon.
"The resurrection of Jesus is the
most signal and splendid evidence of
his divinity." said Rev. w. w,
Youngson. pastor of the Rose City
Park Methodist Church, yesterday
morning in his Easter sermon on "The
Christian Conception of Jmmortallty; a
Cumulative Argument.
It is the keystone in the arch of
our faith. It Is the most brilliant In
the constellation of Christian festivals.
"The Christian conception of Immor
tality Is based upon three basic princi
ples: The omnipotence of God makes
the resurrection possible: the analogy
of nature makes Immortality probable
the revelation of God makes lmmor
tality certain.
"We may bring the predictions of
science, philosophy and religion to bear
upon the supernatural disclosure of the
Scriptures, the corporeal resurrection
of Christ, the analogy of nature, the
righting of inequalities and the good
ness of God. But it will be a mistake
to rest so vast a problem exclusively
on any one simple phase of universal
truth.
CamalsuV Annuint Necessary.
"No one of the arguments alone car
ries conviction to all minds at all
times; but, when one takes the grand
cumulative argument, commencing and
grounding itself in the hard. cold, do
main of science, rising up through the
vast realm of philosophy to. the moral
and theological climax, faith then finds
she has a solid pyramid of confirmed
truth on which to rest.
"Human philosophy dared to teach
the Immortality of the soul, but the
Idea of the resurrection of the body
was beyond the power of human
philosophy. No . voice of human
philosophy ever returned to tell us
where the mighty millions of the dead
are, but Christ came to bring the
assurance of life and Immortality.
God's Gflodness Is Pledge.
"God's attributes of wisdom, power,
holiness, justice, goodness, truth ana
blessedness are all pledged to man's
immortality. As Rousseau once sum
marised it: 1 believe in God as fully
aa I believe In any other truth. If
God exists, he Is perfect; if he is per
fect, be Is wise, almighty and just; if
be is just and almighty, my soul is Ira
mortal.'
"In that last solemn crisis that Is
steadily and surely approaching each
one of us, this, perhaps, will be our
greatest confidence of living hereafter
the character of God. especially his
goodness.
"Do I dread death, fear death? Why,
the grave is the doorway of oppor
tunity."

'Masher" Gets SO Days for Accost

NEW YORK, April 9 James Cape-

cently in New York for a few days on
business, and that he is a prominent
business man of Syracuse, was sent to
Blackwell's Island for 30 days by Mag

Court for "mashing."
The complainant was Miss Irma
Evans, 19 years old, a salesgirl, who
lives at 236 West Twenty-fourth street.
Miss Evans said that she was walking
home last night after having visited
friends, when she was accosted by
Caperan at Seventh avenue and Thirty

that she tried to outdistance the man.

latter provision it is said to be in
conflict with the city charter. Under
its jerms policemen may be paid bene
fits for Illness or Injury or may be
penstoned for life after certain terms
of service. At the present a number
of men are entitled to life pensions,
among these being Joseph Day. a de
tective sergeant, and Ben Branch, chief
jailer.
Under the provisions of the law the
Mayor is ex-offlclo chairman: the Chief
of Police secretary and the City Treas
urer its treasurer. Organization ac
cordingly was made by Mayor Albee,
Chief Clark and Treasurer Adams, and
the first meeting was held last Sep
tember. Two subsequent sessions were
held, with the result that on Monday,
December 15, the board submitted to
City Attorney LaRoche the question of
the validity of the act. Meanwhile no
claims have been paid from the fund,
although all members of the police bu
reau have been assessed according to
Its provisions. Full payment in sal
aries was made, however, until City
Auditor Barbur called attention to it
and declined to audit such claims or to
draw the warrants for them.
That every legitimate claim on the
police penBlon fund will be paid was
the statement of Mayor Albee yester
day. There is abundant money in both
the old and the new funds, he said, and
the only question Is as to which one
shall be requisitioned for the relief of
the members of the bureau who have
been sick or injured.
City Attorney LaKoche's opinion to
the effect that the police pension fund
is faulty, merely makes necessary some
action to test the case, so that the
courts may decide the issue and make
final Its status, said the Mayor.
For years there has been a police and
firemen's pension fund, created by pay
ment of a fraction of each employe's
monthly salary. In the fund there Is
about S10.000; this will be placed In
the new fund if the pension law Is held
valid, or the new will be refunded to
the members who have been paying a
percentage under Its provisions, or
some such solution will be worked out.
The only Inconvenience, therefore, to
result from the present situation is
the delay in paying claims.
"I am anxious to have the subject
decided." said Mayor Albee. "and I trust
that this may speedily be brought
about, as I am in favor of prompt pay
ment of all proper claims."
The pension law under contest was
passed by the 191 J Legislature . It
seeks to create a fund by a fractional
