The race between the tortoise and the hare has
become famous. Everybody knows the tortoise took
his time, but he walked a beautiful contest.
Similarly, the race here in southern Oregon for
lighted athletic fields apparently was won by the

in Tuesday night with the finest set of arcs in the
area. -
With more light—72 kilowatts—mounted on eight
80-foot poles set 10 feet into the earth, Ashland’s il

tethered his elephant outside and dropped into this
democratic office for a call Tuesday.
He was Walter Norblad, who seeks nomination over
James W. Mott, incumbent, and several other aspir
ants for representative in congress. Norblad is a young,
energetic fellow of some 30 years who has established
himself as a brilliant attorney and able state legis
lator for two terms.
His platform, like that of other GOP’s, is the usual
anti-administration baloney, but that makes no differ

Thursday night. Hia talk follows:
Premise*
"Christian Science demonstrates
the proposition that health, peace,
harmony, and prosperity exist as
the unlabored manifestations of
Life, Mind, or God, which belong
to all alike. These desirable and
welcome states are not the result
of chance nor of a supernatural
impulsion. On the contrary, they
are the natural fruitage, unfold-
ment, or scientific translation of
the divine Mind, or God, to the
human understanding.
Christian Science shows that the
creative Mind, or God, cannot be
known through any concept hav
ing the bias of materiality, but
only through the spiritual or true
idea, which interprets aright the
nature and character of God to
the understanding.
Prayer and Authority
In response to uplifted desire, or
prayer, the spiritual or true idea
of God unfolds to the under
standing the nature of man’s
true being, and man’s unity with
God; and in this transfiguration of
thought the sick are healed and
the erring are restored to useful
lives.
Christ Jesus
We are told in the Bible that
Jesus spoke as one having au
thority. He saw the true identity,
eternal individuality of all things,
clearly; and this he expressed with
the authority of conviction and
understanding.

some personal connection or some

fast to the true idea of substance
and supply, which, as idea, is eter

The true idea of substance and
