A warning to nations “whose gov
ernments have been conceived largely
in selfish amibition and brought
forth by human force” was issued at
the annual meeting of the The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, held in
Boston, Mas*., recently. The Mother
Church, by The Christian Science
Board of Directors declared the les
sons of history show such governing
bodies to be “of few day* and full of
trouble.”
Reports disclosed continued growth
of the Christian Science movement,
increasingly higher standards for au
thorized periodicals, and a larger
number of requests from group* of

expressed the need for spiritualizing
consciousness. “The way of accom
plishment," he said, “is through re
newed consecration; a greater puri
fication of sense and self; more love
for God and humanity."
Judge Smith, retiring President,
related several incidents of healing
in which Mr*. Eddy's work, as a
practitioner of Christian Science wa*
demonstrated. In one instance, he
■aid, "about 1879 When Mir, Pddy
lived In Lynn, she heard that an ac
quaintance named Mr*. Edgecomb
was in great trouble, and went to see
her. The trouble was that her little
boy was extremely ill from what a
physician had diagnosed as a chronic
disease of the bowels. As Mr*. Edge
comb afterward related. Mrs. Eddy
took the child from his crib, held him
in her arms for a while, kissed him,
laid him down again, and went out.
His symptoms changed at once. In
less than hour, he called for his play
things,* got up, and appeared quite
well. And he proved to be complete
ly cured.”
Judge Smith further disclosed that
one of the most notable facta con
cerning the discoverer and founder of
Christian Science is the assurance
which she constantly had that it*
teachings came to her through in
spiration and revelation. “In fact,”
he told the meeting, “she studied her
writings regularly to learn from
them.”
The report of The Christian Sci
ence board of lectureship, read by
Richard J Davis, chairman, told of
3211 lectures delivered during the
past year.
The lecture held at Baguio, in the
Philippine Islands, was unique, he
said, for in the audience there were
about 60 native Igorota, one of them
introduced the lecturer, In Tasmania
a lecture was broadcast for the first
ttna.

Price Discrimination Now
Illegal in Oregon
It is now illegal to sell merchandise
in Oregon for les* than cost, or to dis
criminate in price between customers
for merchandise of like grade and
quality, we are reminded by informa
tion received from the Oregon Busi
ness & Investors, Inc., office in Port
land. Oregon's anti-price diiscrim-
ination act went into effect May 21,
after being held up almost a year by
a referendum action, which referen
dum is now squashed..
This new law applies also to service
trade, we are informed, such as laun
dries, dry cleaning, and processing
personal property such as drying
prunes or hops.
The Oregon anti-price discrimina
tion act is similar to the Federal Rob
inson-Patman law, which was passed
to give protection to independent
merchants against secret rebates and
It is interesting to note that there
is no method set up in the law where
by it will be enforced except as each
trade group sets up a policy or en
forcement committee similar to the
enforcement committees set up under
the old NRA procedure. Already in
Portland, we learn, retail grocers,
building material dealers and other
While the new Oçegon law* was
passed by the 193*7 legislature for the
purpose of protecting grocers and
druggists in particular, against "loss
leader” competition, actually the law
affects all commerce within the state,
and each business transaction must be,
examined carefully, we are informed
