TOR THEJ'PUMJIC SERVICE -COMMISSION Portland. Sept Nk To the Editor of The Journal I hava read The Journal several years and always read tha letters from your readers on topic and condi tion of tha timet and feel you will take an Interest In my letter. Since tha Portland Railway, LlRht Power company Increased tbe carfare to cents I have "cheerfully", paid the In crease without complaint. Bin the car company carrlee an advertisement, or announcement, that It will sell tickets In books of or more at a reduced rata. 3 had decided to buy my tickets six for 45 cents, thus savlnf ' cents on six rides. 1 and my family use the cars very fre quently. On four occasions I asked for la tickets for 45 cents, and the con ductorNo. 149, on the Bridge Transfer car said he did not have any tickets. I asked him why, and ha said he had run out, and he waa nearly through for tha day. He would not buy any more until nKt mornlnfr. So I had to pay three full fares, 24 cents. . This same thing has happened on the. Rote City line, on which I have to travel. Last evening I asked, at usual, for tickets, but the conductor Ignored my request and took oenU out of my half dollar for a cash fare. When I called him back he said, "I have jy tickets." I suppose this has happened to many othtera. I feel that If I, a car rider, auk for a strip of tickets and the conductor has no tlcketa to sell, I, the car rider, can refute to pay tha full fare, s cents. I would like to have an opinion on this question, also to have this question brought to the attention of the people for action. But I suppose the car com pany will put tha blame on the poor con ductor, who has to pay for these tickets out ef his pocket, thus tying his little wealth up in tickets with no interest until be resigns or gets fired. In co in clusion I would like to have an opinion on the action of a car rider refusing to pay full fare, S cents. If the conductor had no ticket to sell as they advertise In all their cars. James B.

Harding, Marion, Ohio. .Dear Hir: As you are asking from Jie people the greatest gift In their 'Possession and the most exalted place In the world, I am writing you this so that we may be in the clear on certain questions that now appear vague and undefined. 1. Is It true that you have been part stockholder in a brewery in Marlon, Ohio? 2. Did you through your paper ex .press as your opinion that Theodore .Roosevelt was "an Aaron Burr" or "a .Benedict Arnold" to the country and the Republican party? Did you also say that some day the Progressive party - would on bended knee ask to be taken back Into the Republican fold? t. What la your position on the League of Nations covenant t Why are you continually reversing yourself on this question? Frankly, da you believe that an agreement modeled on that of The Hague tribunal, when this trlbua&l has failed to prevent any war that oc curred during Its life, would b any 4. How can you ask tha suffrages of laboring merr when you have consistent ly voted agalnat any legislation favor able toward them?. S. Did you not favor the establish ment of saloons In the Philippine Islands? f. Why are you recorded as having been absent during rollcall some 1200 times while senator from Ohio? 7. Did you not write your Indorse ment of Barnes' book "Republicanism In 18S0"? I. What favors do those large firms who contributed toward the Republican campaign fund expect In the event of jrour election? 9. Do you consider the executive de partment separate from the legislative, or would you in the event of your elec tion combine the two and shape your decisions after securing the approval or disapproval of the Republican senate leaders? 10. Are you afraid to come before the people, as Governor Cox has done, and ask their support, or do you not con alder this your duty? And, finally, senator, why not come out squarely for what you stand for, 'Instead of adopting a position of ex pediency? ' Wa would all greatly appreciate your areful consideration of the above. Orr Vinge. TWO AT THE AUDITORIUM Portland, Sept. 20. To the Editor of The Journal One week ago It was my privilege to listen to Governor Cox's !trreat speech at The Auditorium. The enthusiasm with which It was received is acknowledged bje even the Oregonian. Last Saturday evening 'I went to The .Auditorium again, to hear Governor : Hard In a; of Iowa, thinking that surely the Republican governor of a great state 'like Iowa would have something vital and worthwhile to say on the great Is sues confronting the country. J waa 'keenly disappointed, however, as were fJe majority of the audience, judging by the bored, apathetic look on their faces. !The manifest Impatience of the audience developed Into a bolt for the exits 'toward the end of tha speech. Mingling with the crowd at the close of tha meeting, I failed to hear one word of enthusiastio approbation of the governor's talk. On tha other hand. 'such remarks as "I know I shall vote fowsufate with their swollen profits. We Cex now," "lie la a false report," "He can find the vengeful attitude of those tamed a lot hut said nothing," were to be heard In plenty. My work takes ma among men in very line of business and I observe the drift of political sentiment Experimen tal polls that I have taken show the vote to be about , hventy . divided with 'this difference: If you. ask a man iiiiiiiiiimiiniiiiiuiiiimiinitiiiiiuiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiniiiiiiniiu 1 THE AMERICAN BRACELET WATCH I S Situation is Just a UtUe worse now than It was a 5 2 year ago.

Democrats and other progresaivea in Oregon should take heart. Verily, if the Republicans are kind enough to furnish a few more spellbinders like Gov ernor Harding to stump the state, Ore gon will line up with the forces of prog ress on election day. A word should be said about Mr. Stan field, who aspires to be senator. In his introduction of Governor Harding Sat urday evening he gave evidence of possessing the qualifications of the suc cessful sheepman which I am informed he la. H. E. Cuney. WHO SAID IT? Portland. Sept. 20.-To the Editor of The Journal "We made the excuse that we ware making war for democracy, and It has been a lie from the beginning." Who said : "War for democracy" was a lie? It might have been the kaiser or Lienin. The pacifists, pro-Germans and radicals said it. Rosa Pastor Stokes aia it ana was jauea jor ODsirucung ui draft But now wa hear It from a new quarter. The words were addressed to the United States senate by Senator Warren G. Harding, on January 21, 1919 Evidenpy "war for democracy was a He," or Senator Harding is no true prophet or fit leader for America. Was ever a presidential issue more distinct? Cox is constructive and forward looking, while Harding is destructive and faces toward the nineteenth century. Whence the phrase "war for democracy." It em bodiea Wilson's statesmanlike grasp of the fact that while we were protecting American national rights we could also, without added cost in life or treasure, free oppressed peoples and thus safe guard against future wars, and he would have succeeded long ago but for the sen atorial banditti. Does it not seem a bit unkind fox a leader of this group to taunt the presi dent with having coined a lie, when to make good his word to our own and to foreign nations he has pledged his every power and even life Itself? Ameri can cUlxens must decide whether "war for democracy" is a lie! Senator Hard ing is pledged to make it so. On the other hand, the triumph of Governor Cox would enrich the world by ssvlng many oppressed people to a new life and a new hope at a nominal cost to ourselves. It would add to the glory and the value of the sacrifices of our martyrs and heroes and heroines. We can never repay these except as we cherish and extend tha blessings they bought for us at so fearful a prioe. It would expand our commerce far beyond the volume it could reach without the good will awakened by our unselfishness. It would bequeath a legacy of world peace to our children. A Republican victory would rob the world of all of those blessings. Ntver before In our history has a more solemn responsibility been laid upon the American voter. American First. ON 8PENDINO PUBLIC MONET Portland, Sept, 21. To the Editor of The JouranV I do not believe there is one member of the Committee of 15 that would entertain or even consider In his private relations the thought of bor rowing 110,000,000 and paying interest thereon when, according to their own statement, it would- take approximately 10 years to complete the proposed Swan island terminal project. Why is it that when It comes to a public matter and as a public official that the so-called shrewd prominent business man seems to los all sense of proportion? In his capacity as -a private employer he will befshort- handed with employes and niggardly as to wages and expenses, but the moment he becomes a one-dollar patriot he is generous as to th number of employes he permits to be placed on the payrolls and munificent as to compensation al lowed. As a private citizen and a taxpayer I am sorry of the day, now 15 years or more, when I Invested my all In real estate In Portland. My taxes are now more than four times what they were when I first bought my property, and there has been no time since when I could have sold it for 60 per cent of the dollar of cost. Had I put the $6000 I invested in 6 per cent bonds I should in this time have doubled my nfonev. The proposed Front street improve ment suggested by City Enrineer Laur. gaard was contemplated by E. H. Har- nman wnen ne was alive, but was dropped when it was found what an enormous cost it would be. It sometimes looks to a man as though the city is to be made a catspaw to null the chestnuts out of the fire for the Portland Railway, Light ft Power com pany and other railroad interests. All Portland needs now Is the making of the Columbia and Willamette river navigable at ail times lor shipping. H. J. Fairbanks. A HATE CHANTER Portland, Sept 23. To the Editor of The Journal The Oregonian certainly chants a hymn of hate couched In words born of disgruntled sources that" have been hit hard by real progressive legis lation, enacted during the Wilson ad ministration. The Oregonian's record Is not one backing the . public Interest against the encroachments of mercenary Interests. One can resjd between the lines and find tha vengeful machine tiona of the Farm Mortgage Bankers' association, which was hit by the fed eral land bank. We can find the subtle hate of those big Interests that were forced to nay the income i rommtn, Diina partisan reactionists that were shorn of their tariff weapon. We can find the ill feeling among reactionist em ployers that were forced to admit that labor is not a commodity ; that collective bargaining Is a human right guaran teed by all the dictates of a true de mocracy ; that those who labor have the same rights that those possessing the commodity called 'capital" have. sr. The forces of reaction'" may . believe they "have succeeded In befogging the constructive statesmanship of President Wilson. They will learn in time that tha voters of this nation are no longer to be influenced by the misconstructions and carptngs of an organ controlled by money mongers. The best way to repudiate those ob structionist factors Is to vote for Cox, the man." R. L. Walter. FEARS CERTAIN MEASURES Myrtle Point, Sept. It. To the Eldtor of The Journal Here is how single tax looks to a hayseed' like me: I know of few farmers who are making more tha a a bare living. Very few are making any improvements on their farms, and most of them pay their taxes one-nan at a time even as it 1st If the land had to pay all taxes, I would Just quit the state and g o where there is no initiative and referendum. Even if I were aoie to im prove my place. I would fear to do so, knowing that the single tax people would have the same old gag up again two years hence. I do not pretend to know what the result will be if the measure becomes a law. But it certainly looks to me as if all agriculture within the state, and many other Industries, would As I remember, we have voted" on this act in some form or other several times, and alwava killed it by big majorities. But who can tell how the wise guy the one who refuses to Inform himself re- eardlnr tha many amendments he win vofa on. and he is "legion," too is srOlns: to vote? Tea, and that other amendment com pulsory jroting. That would be "Jake." nmviriMl each voter had to undergo an examination to see If he knew anything about the Question he was to vote on Otherwise, we ought to have a law bar ring about 60 per cent of tne voters. H. E. Glasler. I'iMPAlOfi EXPENDITURES Portland. Sept. 18. To tbe Editor of The Journal As we understand it now, it is "mire bunk" when a Democrat men tions the large campaign fund which is being collected by the national Repub lican committee. It is a mere bagatelle not enourh to corrupt a rabbit. Then, again, what If a large sum is being raised? When la the Republican that will say that retrleylng the gov ernment from the hands of the Demo crats will not be worth all it costs? Any well trained Republican will not aay nav to that. Thus it is settled, governor t;ox is wrong. There is no corruption iunu. The Renublicans admit it. The more than 18.000.000. which has been reason ablv Droved as being raised by the thrif ty collectors, has hocus - pocus : no taint upon it. It was not so long ago that even Repub licans regarded a much smaller sum as filled with dire forebodings of graft es pecially when made In the soap business. Senator Hiram Johnson said tne itepuD- llcan nomination was being sought by certain other ones by the use of corrupt methods. General Wood and Governor Lowden were turned down at Chicago largely upon the ground that money had flowed too rreely in their Denair. let they had spent little more than half a million each. If memory serves. Considering these facts, are we to con clude that It Is poor business to spend money to obtain a nomination, but onoe having procured it let the barrel now? The terrifying Democrats must be more securely entrancned than tney know about. A wall baa Just gone up front their New Tork headquarters to the effect that with no money on hand or In sight, and the candidates being such "tightwads," the campaign will have to be discontinued for lack of funds. A. W. McCallum. A RENTPATER'S APPEAL Portland. Sept 21. To the Editor of The Journal Will you kindly give a long suffering public some information regarding the rent profiteering now ram pant in this city? I notice that quite recently there has been some action taken by our mayor at least some persons have been appointed to act on some Investigation committees looking toward the handling of such cases. There is no doubt at all about the fact of prof iteering; one can easily verify this by looking around a little. Quite a number of landlords, or their agents, have re cently raised the rent to exorbitant fig ures, in some cases as much as 25 per cent at one dash, and with the raise the tenants have absolutely nothing done by the owners in the way of upkeep. What we would like to know is this: Can our mayor do anything? Ia there law for it ; and, if not then why "stall" along pretending to do something; and if there is law to back up the mayor's attempts, then why not get busy and do something? There is no doubt of the fact of prof iteering, as everyone knows who cares to learn the truth. One nine-room house in West Park street which has not had any repairs for nine years and on which the renter has been paying $60 a month, has recently been raised to 8S5 a 25 per cent increase. One in Twelfth street which paid 160 will on October 1 nay 875 and no repairs another 25 per cent, a six-room house worth, all told, about 1200, and which rented for $22. is now to pay $25. This is Just a shack and has no bath. It should rent for $ to $10 a month. Is there no way to get help? Mr. Mayor, are you honestly try ing to help us, or are you juat "stalling"? Loyd Lemert THE SAME HARDINO Portland, Sept. 20. To the Editor of The Journal Question : The Harding that spoke at Tha Auditorium Saturday night Is that the same Harding that impeachment proceedings were brought against for pardoning a rapist? The rapist In the case I have in mind was the son of wealthy 'parents, and waa indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to a long prison term for a fiendish as sault upon a little girl, and was pardoned before the prison doors were closed upon nun. During the Harding Impeachment In veatigation, it waa charged that the par don waa granted for a monetary consid eration. The reason I ask this question is that during his introduction here tha other night the speaker" stated that he was loved by all who lived in the state whence he came, and if this is the same Harding, the parents of that little girl have no love for him as well as thou sands of others of that state, who vig orously protested against his official act E. E. Browninr. SINGLE TAX Vancouver; Wash., Bept. 22. To the Editor of The Journal More words. Single tax would simplify tax levies and collecting and equalise legitimate tax ation, but In no great degree would it lessen, the necessary cost of adminis tering our public affairs, a cost which Is not excessively burdensome; In fact It la less than was the cost of maintain ing our erstwhile brewers and distillers. The cost of maintaining our Illegitimate gevernment is the burden under which wa stagger, and Just so long- aa our wage and capitalistic system maintain. Just so long must this burden remain on our shoulders. Our captains of Industry are foreign aristocrats la their style of living. Our middlemen bleed their patrons la order to live high. And both live through sucking the lifeblood of producing tollers. Single tax is a com. mendable measure, but its reach la not sufficient to mitigate our present day social woes woes which cannot be mit igated so long as asses are willing to act as saddle beasts in carrying exploit ers of labor, J.Harold. Ch ristian Science Lecture ii wnm r-Vr.,i. hum eatiUed "Tbe l-y WUlin W. Porter. C. S. B.. nember tt the Board of Lieetareablp of tne Motoet wiroi, rtnt Lauren of mnet, bcmdou, !. Vh demonstration of Christian Sci ence in the healing of the sick and the reconstruction of human thought on UneB of right activity ia ioday. an accomplished and acknowledged lacu i s cv.uo.. that if the existing systems of, religion and medicine had been adequate to meet the nrfeds and to satisfy the desires of mankind, no other system would ever have been necessary or even possible. Existing systems of religion and medi cine represent and encourage the belief that evil, disease, discord, and death are real, that they belong to the natural order of things. These same systems then try to over come and destroy the evils thus held to be legitimate and natural. If these evils are legitimate, natural, and real, why try to destrdy them? On the other hand. If these discordant manifestations are not real, normal, and legitimate, let the facts presented by Christian Science in regard to the unreality of matter, evil, sickness, discord, death, be approached and meas ured hnnestlv and lustly : and above all with the desire to be consistent in premises as well as in conclusions. OBTHODOXY The objection is sometimes made that Christian Science is not orthodox. This hrinara un the auestlon of what is and what Is not orthodox. Human opinions combine in a statement of belief, and then declare that those who differ from beliefs thus stated are unorthodox. The amount of this is: If you believe as we do, you are orthodox. If you do not believe as we do, then you are de cidedly unorthodox, and "do not believe in the divinity of Christ." That alone la orthodox which, proceed ing from Principle, Truth or God, brings out such fruits as health and righteous ness, honesty and good will. This is the mission and work of Christian Science. UWDEBLTISO DISIBE FOR GOOD A fundamental desire for harmony and good exists in the consciousness of every person. Because of a lack of ed ucation or Instruction In pure Christi anity, the human or mortal mind haa accepted its own misconceptions of God, its own misinterpretations of man and Its own misstatements of Spirit or Sub Stance, as real. Thus mankind have found themselves the innocent victims of a misconceived existence, expressing itself in sin, sick ness and death. It is the mission and province of Christian Science to clear away and to destroy these misconcep tions, misinterpretations and misstate ments, together with the sin, sickness and destruction that follow in their wske, and to restore to mankind the true reflection or image and likeness of God, and the true understanding of the nature or character of Causation. On page 46S of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which is the textbook of Christian Science writ ten by Mary Baker Eddy, the following definition of God appears : "God is in corporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit Soul. Principle, Life. Truth, Love." This definition of God is exact and is in accord with the definitions of God found throughout the Scriptures. RESTORATIYE DEFINITIONS Christian Science, In this connection. unfolds certain fundamental and primary Ideas. One such primary Idea is this-: Mankind is conscious at least of exist ence. This consciousness of existence indicates and implies Mind. In fact, without Mind, there could be no con sciousness, hence no consciousness of existence. When speaking of Mind in Christian Science let it be understood that it is not the limited, human sense of mind which is referred to, nor the sense of mind which is supposed to be synonymous with the human brain and supposed to be located within the human skull, but Is that Mind which is infinite in its nature and character, infinite in its being, resource, capacity, wisdom, power, identity. This Mind, then, with out which, as we have seen, there can be no consciousness of existence and hence no existence, must be the creator of all that exists this Mind must be that which we mean, or ought to mean, when we Ujink of or say "God." In fact, It would ba impossible to con ceive of God except as all-wise or as infinite Mind. Aa it likewise would be impossible to think of any place where Mind ia not it follows naturally and inevitably that God, who is infinite Mind, is Incorporeal, everywhere pres ent, and intelligently active as Mind. Here we come to the point where Moses stood at the burning bush; and the voice of enlightened consciousness, as the voice of Mind or God. declares today as it declared to Moses of old, "Put off thy shoes from off thy feet for the place whereon thou stand est Is holy ground." In. this realization of the nature and character of God, one becomes conscious of a peace which tha world, or which a material sense of God, can never give. When one thus haa understood in Chris tian Science the omnipresence of God as Infinite Mind, he will not again, at least in the same degree as be may have done in the past, suffer through discourage ment depression, or fear that he may possibly be separated from God.' GBATEIC AND MENTAL IMAGES In considering the nature or character of God, one may view with commlsera tion the worshiper of Idols who bows down to a graven stone image, and say to such a worshiper: My friend, do you not know that it is wrong for you to bow down to a stone Image in the name or uod7 Do -you not know that such conduct is blasphemous and unworthy? suppose the worshiper of idols should say in reply : My brother, what ymi tell me causes me to fear that I may not be worshiping aright. I will no longer worship this graven stone image, but will worship your God. Tell me what your God is, and where He is to be found, in order that I may worship your uoa. suppose he Is told in reply that God is In heaven; that heaven is a place arar-off. and that after a Derio of transition called death he may be permitted to enter heaven and there see and know Spirit, Ood. Might not the worshiper of idols ba Justified, or at least might he not be pardoned if he then says, My brother, it seems to me that your Ood is only the same aa my God, except that yours Is afar-off where He cannot be seen ; that while I am worshiping my graven stone image here, you are holding in thought and worship ing a mental image of your God who is in a far-off heaven. And beside all this, you have shown me in your good book tha place where it is written: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the' earth." From this, does tt not seem. lay brother.. that tha mental image or likeness of J3odT which you . hold in consciousness and to which you pray must be Juat aa erroneous as the graven stone image which I worship, and to which I pray t This 'man haa not re ceived anything that will unfold to him cne nature or character or true Causation or Ood. Ha is sUll a worshiper of idols. OOD, GOOD Now. suppose, aa indicatine- the nature or character of Ood, you were to- say to this worshiper of idols, My friend, do you remember tha day you were roam ing among the hills and found a stricken deer? Tou were about to end its ex istence merely to gratify an impulse to aestroy, wnen something in the circum stance caused you to withhold your hand. ana instead you bound uo its wounds in such a manner that it was able to go away Into the hills. Tou proceed to tell him that that which caused him to with hold his hand and to bind up the wounds of the deer was mercy.. tenderness, com passion. These, you explain to him, are qualities of Love. And you tell him that God is Love, and that Love is God. Again, you recall to his memory the day he lay ill In the jungle when he was found by bla enemy who. instead of de stroying him, carried him into his own hut and nursed him until he was well ; and then, instead of holding him In slav ery, gave mm nis rreeaw. You explain to him that that which withheld his enemy s hand and later gave him his freedom was mercy, compassion, liberty, equality, fraternity. These, you make clear to him. are qualities of Love. And you tell him that God is Love, and that Love is uod. You further cite to him an instance where two men owning Jointly a piece of ground much desired by both were about to engage in warfare in order that one might possess, when one said to the other. Why should we fight and kill? Your family has need of you. Let us see if we cannot find some right way out that will be satisfactory to us both. Pondering thus, they turned aside, from thoughts of killing. Tou show him that that which prevented warfare between the two men was compassion, human ity, equity. Justice. These, you explain to him again, are qualities of Iove. and qualities of Intelligence or Mind. And you again tell him that God is Love, and that God is Mind. The worshiper of idols, a worshiper of ldolstp.0 longer, his face "aflame with divine Love" (Science and Health, p. 367). may say to you. My brother, this your God Is a wonderful, a beautiful Ood. I now have no need of a graven stone image or of a mental Image of God. I see now that God Is with the wounded deer on the mountainside, with the sick man in the Jungle, with the men who were about to destroy, with the mariner at sea outriding the storm. I see that He Is here now, as in fra ternal interest and pure desire we con alder together His nature, name, or char acter. I now see that God is always present wherever the qualities of health, unselfishness, compassion, honesty, and peace are reflected to mankind. Tbe man who worshipped Idols has now an Intelligent idea of the presence and power of God, good. He has an intel ligent understanding of Causation or God. He has ceased to worship idols. RESTORATIVE DEFINITIONS - Christian Science unfolds certain fun damental and primary Ideas. One such primary idea is this: Mankind is con scious at least of. existence. This con sciousness of existence implies Mind. In fact, without Mind, there could be no consciousness, hence no consciousness of existence. When speaking of Mind in Christian Science let it be understood that it ia not tbe limited human sense of State Ballot Is. Now Closed 21 3 Candidates Are Enrolled Salem. Sept. 25.

Powell, without which 'there can be .no con sciousness of existence, must be the creator of all that agists. As It would be Impossible to think of arty place where Mind is not. it follows that Ood. who is infinite Mind, Is incorporeal and everywhere present as Mind. In this realisation of the nature or character of God, one becomes con scious of a peace which the world, or which a material sense of God. can never give. EYIL SUGGESTION DESTROYED The human mind, untnatructed by di vine science, is controlled by its own suggestive fears of evU disease and death. Thus controlled, this mind Is more or leas continually looking for these evils. On the other band, that nerson whose thoueht la fundamentally fortified by Christian Science Is able to discriminate intelligently between tne taiDreeatons and surrestions which pre sent themselves, excluding those which later produce these evils, and admits into his consciousness drily those ideas of truth and rood which he desires later to see reproduced in his active experi ence. The universe of the Christian Scien tist Is filled with God's ideas with ideas of Life. Mind. Love instead of diseased thought-germs of the mortal mind. He knows. In a degree, that the omnipo tence of God. good, is not a aiviaeo omnipotence In which Bin. disease and death also are factors. GRATITUDE TO MRS. EDDY Christian Scientists have a tender re gard, love and gratitude for their re vered leader. It would not be right to assume that there is anything in the nature of oersonal worship In thla atti tude. On the contrary, this feeling or rea-ard and gratitude Is in acknowledge ment and recognition of the broad, uni versal service which characterised Mrs. Eddv's life. Prom the time of her healing on tnai memorable Sunday morning in the year 1866. Mrs. Eddy's life was spent con elstently and exclusively In unfolding the facta connected with her healing in such terms and manner as would best be understood by the human mind. It was necessary that these facts should be rightly correlated, and the science which sroverned them made clear, in order that mankind always shall have at hand the means to alleviate and heal ain. sickness and sorrow. Likewise, my friends, the recognition Is growing among Intelligent people ev erywhere that the works of Christian Science reflect the existence of a defl nlte law, and that the operation of this law is available in Christian Science to heal and bless all mankind In the de gree that it Is rightly understood and put into practice. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TEXTBOOK The statement of this law, or Chris tian Science, and the method of applica tion are found In all of the writings of Mrs. Eddy, more especially in the book "Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures." which is the only textbook on Christian Science healing. - This book is unfolding to mankind the true idea of Causation or Ood. This unfoldment is reflected In a higher Idea of life, more adequate health, courage, confidence, honesty and good wilL As these fruits of Christian Science come Into your experience you NU1 recognise that they belong to and identify the na ture or character of God. They will be to you the witness of Immanuel, or "God with us" Ood with you. ocratic ; F. J. Von Behren. Marlon, So cialist. PUBLIC SERYICE COMMISSIONER Eastern district H. H. Corey.
