- FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 1D2 I - i n ...I i EB!T3niALS ' :PZOPE ChHstlan Science Repliea : . ; : Portland. May 20. Editor Statesman: Christian , Science, or so-called Eddyism, should not be confused with theosophy, spiritualism, Dow-ie-ism, or any other lam; nor would , anyone who. really, under stands Christian Science ever In clude It with, religions classed, aa false or as man-made doctrines. Christian f Science fundamentally differs from other, religions, ln- ' eluding those, which, Mrs. Demar est is reported In your, issue of the 13th to have denounced as the false religions of our day, and which, she say?, catch, armies of giddy converts. It is quite true that: Christian Science has attracted thousands and tens of thousands jot people, but they are well-known to be peo ple possessing Intelligence and common sense. They are people who for various reasons have never before found-a religion or system of healing that 'satisfied them, and to whom Christian Sci ence has appealed -because of its' Irresistible and irrefutable. logic and practicality. If Christian "Science Is to be .considered a false religion, so also must Christianity be considered false, for Christian Science Is no more nor lesa than the Science of Christianity, that same Christian ity which Jesus of Nasareth found-t ' ed. taught: and practiced. True science must necessarily be know ledge, systematized knowledge, of that which is demonstrably; true. The so-called natural sciences do not measure, up to that definition of true science, but spiritual Sell , ence .does.. Natural , scientists in cur day are freely, acknowledging the uncertainty of,, their, many theories about things material, and , are even questioning among themselves the actual existence of matter. except; perhaps as . some form of magnetic force. Jesus de clared that God Is Spirit, and He taugt that His Kingdom la spirit ual, also that things spiritual are the cnlr things worth while, . The flesh, he said, profiteth nothing. IlaaSind would indeed be without "here, and without God In the world" If Christianity Is not truly .dentins. if it. is not Immutably true, provable tnd practical. Let us take Mrs. Demarest at her word. "It." she Is reported as saying, "one wacta to get the tr-tl i' ct any great system of tc. : t; ce should go to the orig ial to-rcer tt it is C-rist lan Scisnce," Mrs.' Eddy can tell.lt test; and it It is Christianity, je-us C.ri-tla the authority." ilrs. E'-f, ia the Christian Sci ence . text-book. "Science and Health, with Key to the Scripture-" (rase 135) says: ; "It tas tsea sal-,. nd truty, tlsat Christianity, must be Science and Science must be Christianity, else cne pr the other Is, false and ue'.sss; but neither Is .'unimport ant or untrue.: and .they are alike in demonstration. This provesthe ore to tr Identical with the other. Cl.rili:ty as Jesus taught It was - not a creed, nor a system of cere monies, nor. a special, gift from a ritualistic Jehovah; but it was the dsraonstratlon of. divine Love cast les out error and healing, the sick, not merely in the name of Christ, or Truth, but la demonstration of Truth, as- must be the ease In the cycles of divine light." A religion which heals the sick, I comforts the sorrowing, reforms the sJaner. and overcomes all kinds of mental -and physical ills, at i' thus has proved Itself to M : C-rtatiaaty scientific.-as Christian fclence has done,; is surely not a "f.!se ' religion nor- a man-made doctrine." ''"'.'. . Mrs. Demarest again shows how little she has grasped the teach- legs of Christian Science when she says, In your issue of, the 17th, "You can't take an Intellectual Christian Science : down to the slums and . save men and women from their, sins by saying that there is no sin -they have been sa. terribly steeped' In 1 sin, and -kaowrhow dreadfully real It ls.7 -That is just the point The sin ner suffers the effects of sin t be cause he iias , Indulged In , . that which te continues, to believe Is so "dreadfullv real."

"you must detect It. remove the mask. point out the Illusion, and thus get the victory over sin and so prove Us unreality.'! ; And again, on page 339: "Since God Is All, there Is no room for His unllkeness. God, Spirit, alone created all. and called It good. Therefore evil, being contrary to good. Is unreal, and cannot be the product of God. , A sinner can re ceive no encouragement from the fact that Science demonstrates the unreality of evil, for the sinner would make a reality of ; sin, would make that real which Is un real, and thus heap up 'wrath against the day of wrath He is ini-nin in a conspiracy against himself, against his own awaken ing to the awful j unreality by which he has been deceived." Then Mrs. Eddy adds, "Only those, who repent of sin and forsake the unreal, can fully understand the unreality of evil.

With all tot the prune growing Interests of the Pacific northwest agreed upon the principles of a Joint marketing federation, there is general activ ity in the different prune districts toward the organization of the adt dltlonal local units that will carry cut this plan. : Mt . The Polk county, district, Is tak ing a leading part In this activity. following a meeting of the prune growers held at'Dallas an May 17. The meeting was called to order by Dr. A. B. Starbuck, a large local prune grower, and chairman of the committee of nine which has been-actlve for more than a year In ' working out the all-northwest prune federation plan. ; The first speaker was Frank E. Andrews, president "or the Port land Chamber of Commerce, who announced , that the ' business-like marketing of agricultural prod ucts was one of the chief needs of the state, toward which his or? ganlzatton was striving. Col. E. E. Faville, chairman Of the marketing committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, also endorsed the plans of the Polk county local unit 'organization, stating that business and labor were already organized and that agricultural Interests also must or ganize, i - Isaac D. Hunt. Portland hanker and owner of a 20-acre prune or chard near Springbrook. prophe sied that the new local unit prune organization plan would sweep the state. C. J. Hurd, marketing ex.- pert from Oregon Agricultural jcolj lege, likewise endorsed 'the plan and R. H. Kipp, manager of the marketing department of the Port? land Chamber of Commerce, read the contract proposed for the Polk county, cooperative prune growers association which requires a 70 per cent minimum sign-up In order to become effective. - As a result of the Dallas meet ing, contracts were'signed by prac tically all of the largest prune growers of the county, most of whom nave never before been as sociated with any prune market ing organization. : Among , those pni;r Tins iiooui imm SAYS DHUGGIST - "Joint- Ease is sel ling 11 k e hot cakes In my store because , 1 1 Is - a won derful and speedy remedy- for; all Joint: trou bles. , "But why not Impress on tens of thousands ' of suffer ing people some of the things that dozens of my customers tell me .lmoet 'daily.; .. -'Some say that It . knocks out lumbago 'over- night Others, as sert that for chest colds: and sore throat it has no ' equal, while many , Insist that there Is noth ing they ever tried that Is so eftl :lent tor neuralgia, neuritis and even head: colds ' and nasal ca tarrh." t ' i - -v ' Answering the above letter, we, the makers of?

Organization work in Polk county will continue actively until the new plan has been presented to every prune grower, and it seems assured, that this will be come one of the strongest prune marketing local units in the north west. The local organization com mittee will be assisted In their work by Kenneth C. Miller, for mer president of the Oregon Grow ers, v. -f Tt'' i' .'; ; t According to agreement with the Oregon Growers Cooperative Prune association their Polk coun ty members will be permitted to sign contracts with the new Polk county local unit, and as soon as the Polk county local unit is com pleted these prune growers will retain membership only in the Polk county Cooperative Prune Growers' association: : ' ? ; In continuation of the state-wide organization program, looking to ward the formation of the North west Prune, federation, a meeting of prune growers will be held May 24 at Xewberg to assist in the com pletion, of the Springbrook local unit. Also, the Dundee Fruit Growers & Packers will open their books for the admission of new prune growers living adjacent to the Dundee prune placking plant.. Organization activities are also under way in Douglas ' county where one or more local units soon will be organized. , Then will folT low Organization meetings In the Salem district;, the Scotts Mills district, and in all other prune growing districts of the state. .
