Por ter, C. R. B., of Xew York City, List night: Jllary Baker Eddy is the discov erer and founder of Christian Science, and the author of its textbook, "Science and, Health w nu x.ey 10 me oi.Tipi.ure8 ; ana it "may not be apart from the just consideration of the subject to add; that whatever is known to day concerning this Science, or whatever may be known hereafter concerning Christian Science, is due to this discoverer. , Mrs. Eddy did not gain her knowledge of Christian Science from or through any material system of healing. It (was only when she turned her thought away from matter and di rected it. unreservedly to the di vine Mind or God that har re markable healing occurred, the healing which dates the discovery raised her from a bed of sickness to full and complete health and womanhood. After her healing Mrs. Eddy entered upon a period of research rid work, the results of which appear in ."Science and Health Vith Key to the Scriptures," . which' is the only Christian Science: textbook. .Within the pages of this book Mrs. Eddy has flef hbltl? 1 -tinderstandable lan guag 'I the, divine principle of Clirfsf iaV healing; and -withfnthls book., ore to be found from in numerable viewpoints, statements attd restatements giving the rules by which this healing work may hft experienced and manifested by mankind. Progress ! The question may be asked: Does Christian Science never fail? 2io true science can ever fail. One may fail to understand the science of numbers, or fail properly to apply this science in working out a mathematical problem. No per son will assume, however, for a moment that because there has been a failure to understand or properly tct apply this science of vtnmHov-a fha aplAltm nf math. matics has failed. ; Christian Science has been cri ticized frequently because of its statements regarding the unreality 4f matter, the unreality of sin, Qicknesfl, death; and yet, the established systems of religion and medicine have been engaged throughout their histories, and that .too without criticism, in the attempt to escape sin and evil, and to destroy the pains of the flesh. ; It is tbe mission and province Of Christian Science to clear away and to destroy the basic error of mortal thought, that evil is real end that matter is intelligent. Christian Science naturally lays strong emphasis upon the neces sity for gaining a true . under standing of God. The Scriptures ' F. E. Shafer's Harness and Leather Goods Store, 170 S. Com'l.

Low Prices ; 246 NORTH COMMERCIAL STREET THE OltEGON STATESMAN; SA1E2I, OREGON i M embers in Christian Science declare that God is love. How is it possible for an outlined figure, a graven image, or a mental image to convey an adequate idea of the nature of infinite love? One sometimes hears the! ques tion asked, What is 'meant in Christian Science by the term, animal magnetism? This is a de scriptive term which is sometimes much misunderstood. Animal magnetism is "without formj, and void." It is all that is comprised in the , degrading and unworthy belief ,that evil is real an$ that matter is intelligent. Christian Science declares di sease to be mental, a belief of the mortal mind, which is dissipated and healed by the unfolding idea of truth and love. The present vogue in systems of material medication seems to be what is called the serum treat ment. In systems of material medication it is the matter-body that is to be treated. Let us as sume a blackboard to be filled with erroneous, discordant, sick mathematical calculations. What is wrong here? The blackboard cannot be said to be sick, nor the chalk, nor the hand which made the figures, nor the muscles which guided the hand. It is the so cajled mortal mind which has pro duced the erroneous results and is at fault. It would be difficult to make a more erroneous statement than to say that Christian Science makes use of mental suggestion ot hyp notism In any manner. The use of hypnotism or suggestion con templates the action of one human mind upon another. Because the human or mortal mind cannot be its own healer, it follows naturally and inevitably that the divine Mind or God is the only healer and the only medicine which can be used in the line of strict, scientific legitimacy tp heal the sick. The action of the divine Mind upon the human mind dis abuses and deprives the human mind of the error that evil is real and that matter is intelligent. In this way, briefly stated, the sick are healed and the erring are re stored to useful lives through the ministrations of Christian Science. The remark is sometimes heard that Christian Science treatment is all very well for the adult, but when it" comes to the question of treating the children some j "tan gible" and "substantial" totm of treatment is necessary. j Thousands upon thousands of Christian Science parents are glad to have their children iunder Christian Science treatment when the necessity for such treatment exists. It must be recognized also that these Christian Science par ents love their children just as devotedly as do those parents who elect to give drugs and operations to their children. j Mortal existence, from any point of view, involves mystery. Its beginning, its transit, its; pass ing, is a mystery; its dogtna of religion and medicine is involved in mystery; its heaven and its hell an inexplicable mystery. Hold yourself, your thought, in true relation to the divine Mind or God. You will find, as a result of thus relating thought constantly to God, that you are gaining) your freedom from downward tanden- GREEMBAUM Cotton Blankets 72x80 White The Pair $2.59 Ladies' Vests Reduced Prices 25c - 19c -1 5c ; Ladies' Pants 25c ? cies, and coming into a larger con cept of life and being. Looking and striving toward this, understanding one may bold these beautiful and appropriate words to be a pattern and an in centive to thought: "Be true and list the voice within, Be true unto thy high ideal, Thy perfect self, that knows no sin That self that is the only real' (Christian Science Hymnal).

Away from city council, within th.vr own offices, thiev do not fool around talking. They act. They get results that end in profit for their stockholders. That was why they were placed in city council. To get prof its for the city's stockholders, the taxpayers of this district. M Yet it apparently takes a Tom Kay to get action from these same men once they enter the council chamber. i No eminent citiien was present Monday night to ask Fred A. Williams about his drunken driver prosecution record. So city council did nothing, though police reports published and undenied show that I of 11 arrests made by police, one man pleaded guilty and voluntarily took the minimum penalty, one m4n forfeited bail, one man was tried and acquitted, one man was tried once, witli the jury hung, and the case never opened again, two cases hae not been heard from by police since the arrests were made, in one instance 20 weeks ago, in the other, eight weeks! ago, and the remainder were let off on fines that could not legally have been imposed upon persons held guilty of driving while drunk. i Apparently some private citizen, with nerve enough to get on his feet in council meeting and demand action, just as Tom Kay did cn Monday night, must ask for an accounting, and make the way easy for aldermen, before they have cour age to use initiative themselves. Has city council no interest in this matter? Does city council doubt the truth of reports on police books ? Has city council no interest! in what becomes of persons arrested by police for endangering lives of Salem voters by driving while drunk? Are the individual members of city council afraid to even ask Fred Ai Williams, city attorney, for some explan ation of this astounding report ? It only takes one man to get action. Witness, Tom Kay.

Roth Strong Companies Both of the newly organized companies that have (taken over the Santiam irrigation districts are strong financially.! ; Both of them are; offering or will offer their lands! for sale in small tracts, with perpetual water rights, and with a charge of only $1.50 an acre annually for keep ing the ditches in repair. They expect to sell their lands at from $150 to $350 an acre,; including the perpetual water rights. They set forth the fact that re- suits of experiments by the United State department of; agriculture show that startling results come fiom irrigation in the Willamette valley; that corn showed an in crease of 71 per cent; potatoes, 180 per cent; onions,; 150 per cent: upland hops, 80 per cent; clover, 300 per cent, i That one man ia the West Stay ton Gardens district bought seven acres of land five years ago and put it into berries and truck, and last year under irrigation his Ken tucky Wonder beans yielded nine f.nd a half tons to the- acre, which sold at $7 0 a ton at the cannery, and paid him over $$00 an acre, He holds his land at 500 an acre. Flax and Mint There is an exhibit of flax in the window of the United States Na tional back, with this legend: "This flax was grown; on irrigated land. The water was .furnished by t 'e Flaxland Development com pany, 411 Masonic building, Sa lem, Oregon." The sample show$ wonderful flax. It was grown by George F. Vick, of Vick Bros., Salem. With the exhibit is the following le gend : "It is my opinion (hat the big gest thing, agriculturally, in the Willamette valley is tjie thousands of acres of our soil ItHat can be irrigated. Tbe mint aiid flax crops in the Aumsville and West Stay ton districts can and should be come one of the big things of the valley. Geo. F. Vick."; R. D.

Men in the Labish district have refused $1500 an acre for their holdings. They are making more than 10 per cent net on that much money. It will be the same thing in the Stayton irrigated districts, only the lands there will be found to be better adapted for some crops than the Labish lands; for tomatoes, beans, head lettuce, etc. Ten acres will keep a man with a good sized family busy the year through, with successive crops, beginning with gooseberries and strawberries, with some outside help at picking time. Five acres ill keep a man with a small fam ily busy, with certain profits every year. The falling of the French franc is causing people in Paris to put their hoardings into land.

"Respectfully submitted, "Grand Jury of Los Angeles." When the case was submitted to the grand jury. District Attor ney Asa L. Keyes had instructed the jurymen on the law and left with them blank indictments against the three persons, two men and a woman, alleged by the evangelist to have abducted her, one of them being known to her as "Steve" while the woman was called "Rose." With these indict ments before them, the 'report of the jury was Interpreted as fail are to substantiate the story of Mrs. McPherson. This was indicated also In the statement of William H. Caster, foreman of the grand jury imme diately after the report was filed. "Our report Itself is outside the regular procedure," Carter said, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY. 21, 192 "but inasmuch as this case has become onein which riearly every one in the city, the state and In many places throughout the world are interested, we felt that it was a duty to the public to Issue, the statement we did. "As far as we are concerned the case Is ended but I will say that if Mrs. McPherson cares to con tinue her efforts to substantiate her story this body will be open at all times to receive such evi dence as she may submit." Keyes had 'said previously that although today's session would end the grand jury consideration of the case, his office would not consider their investigation closed until after Kenneth G. Ormiston, former radio operator of Angelas temple, appears for questioning by the authorities. Judge Keetch and Foreman Carter retired to the judge's chambers for a conference of 20 minutes but neither would say what the nature of their discus sion was. The district atttorney. refused to comment on the report and his deputy, Joe Ryan, who has been directing the investigation said merely that "the action of the grand Jury explains fully the weight of the evidence in the case." Mrs. McPherson's attorney also refused to comment but left at once for Angelus temple where they announced that a written statement would be issued later. Evidence presented today in con nection with the month's disap pearance of the evangelist and her reports that she had been kidnaped consisted of testimony of two members of Angelus tem ple and the reading of a letter from Kenneth G. Ormistno, for mer radio operator of the church. The letter from Ormiston who has been sought by District Attorney Asa Keyes to appear before the grand jury and explain his move ments in the past six weeks, was dated NewYork, July 13, and dealt in generalities offering no specific information except a flat refusal to return to Los Angeles for appearance before the grand jury. Tbe letter said that he was employed in New York under an assumed name. "All I can tell you or the grand jury is what I have repeatedly told you," the letter read, "that I saw Mrs. McPherson on May 8 or 9 and know absolutely nothing con corning either her disappearance or reappearance." Just before the case was sub mitted to the grand jury Mrs. Louise Martin, said to be a mem ber of the temple congragation, was reported to have testified be fore the Jury that Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother of the evangel ist, told of the receipt of the $500,000 ransom note on Sunday night, June 20, three days prior to the reappearance of Mrs. Mc Pherson. Mrs. Kennedy made mention of the note at the me morial services for Mrs. McPher son, Mrs. Martin is said to have declared. The ransom note has been the subject of federal investigation since it was discovered that the stamps on the envelope had been tampered with.
