ftrePKfltD MXnj TRIBUNE, tEDFORD, OREGON SATURDAY, .TUNE 4, 1021 P3GE THREE SITE, UNION CREEK .; Word has just been received from the forest department by Scoutmaster Millard that a camp ground site at Union Creek had been granted for the Boy Scouts of southern Oregon. Mr. Millard, the local scoutmaster and Mr. Rankin, representing the forest de partment will make a trip to Union creek at once and select the Bite. The grounds will comprise quite a number of 'acres and will be beautified by the scouts this summer. The plan Is to erect a log lodge with athletic field, swimming pool, rustic bridges, etc. It Is hoiied that In a few years this camp will be one of the main attractions for tourists on the road to Crater Lake. The. work will be under direction of one of the forest rangers and Mr. Mil lard representing the Boy Scouts of the valley. The first camping trip of the sum mer for Boy Scouts 'will start June 12th and last one week. The trip will be made by auto truck under the per sonal suiervlsIon"of Rev. Millard, scoutmaster of the Medford troop. The week will be spent on their new camp grounds at Union creek. Much work will be done on the grounds this first trip and boys rendering the best ser vice will rocelve a distinguished ser vice medal. Besides interesting work of building rustic bridges, cook ovens, swimming pool, etc., there will be a number of side trips into, the big woods and interesting points. Every Boy Scout In the valley who wishes to make the trip should be present Tuesday evening, June 7th' at the Washington school grounds where full details and expenses of the trip will be explained. This camp ground Is not for Med ford Boy Scouts alone but for south ern Oregon and If there are Boy Scouts from the surrounding towns Interested In these summer camping trips they should get in touch with D. B. Millard, 521 West Eleventh St at once for full Information. At the Page . . Throughout the town of PleaBanton rang the slogan "Pink Tights Must Go ! " , The circus had come' to town and with the circus was the dainty aviatrix who wore the pink tights. j which so offended the good church : people. So they appealed to their : young minister to condemn her. But Miss Pinlc Tights, jumping with her parachute from a- balloon, landed on his roof and he found himself enjoying the company of tills strange young lady he bad promised to denounce from his pulpit. Such is the opening ;of the story of "Pli.k Tights" the fea- tare photoplay which will be the at I traction at the theatre tomorrow. Gladys Walton plays the leading fern 'inino role, and opposite her is Jack Perrin, both of whom are largely re sponsible for the success which this picture is going to be. Pink Tights" will be shown two days, Sunday and 'Tuesday only, on account of "Mary," ! Monday night and Is expected to win the verdict of one of the most popular of comody dramas. At the Rialto "The -Fire Cat" is Edith Roberts' latest picture and will bo the feature attraction at the Rialto theatre. It may be described as a colorful story of life in the South American mining -district. In the heart of tho Andes. Miss Roberts depicts tho role of a na tive girl of primitive passions. In one of the startling scenes sho leaves tho shelter of her mountain home to go to the lawless town where she becomes a dancer. Her motive -Is to mete out revenge upon the despoiler of her home. The picture Is remarkably rich in picturesque backgrounds and Is said to afford tho spectator a story of jvlvld action and incident.

Graham, O.S.B.: In the year 1806 Mary Baker Eddy whom medical skill had failed to re lieve of a serious physical troublo, was instantaneously healed through read ing the Scriptures. Christian Scien tists know that with her healing be gan the modern fulfillment of Jesus' promise: "When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." Instead of taking her phys ical healing and losing- herself In the throng of the unthankful, her grati tude to God and compassion for suf fering humanity led her to Investigate and to meditate. On page 109 of "Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy writes: "For three years after my discovery, I sought the solution of this problem of Mind-hcaling, searched the Scrip tures and read little else, kept aloof from society, and devoted time and energies to discovering a positive rule." This rule she discovered, stated, elucidated, and demonstrated, over and over again, in healing the sick, thus reinstating the most practi cal feature of primitive Christianity. All of Mrs. Eddy's writings bear, directly or indirectly, on healing; but In, the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," there Is a chapter entitled "Christian Science Practice," which will abundantly ex plain to any earnest reader what this teaching Is. To deny that Mary Baker Eddy discovered the Principlo of divine healing and that' by it her stu dents are healing the sick and the sinful, would be to close one's eyes to the most far-reaching fact of modern times. This thing was not done in a corner. It is seen and known of all men who have eyes to see and ears to hear. We may well call it the renals sance, or re-birth, of the vision of Christ Jesus. The discovery and dem onstration of Christian Science might justify its beneficiaries today In re peating Simeon's joyful exclamation: "Mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people." Personal Testimony Nor can I be silent at this time con cerning that love of God which guided me Into the land of Christian Science, where mental bondage is broken and freedom reigns. "I was sick, and....:. in prison, and ye came unto me." 1 myself verily believed that I ought to say and to do many things contrary to what I thought Christian Science was. To that end frequently from a Christian pulpit I assailed the name of Mrs. iddy and vehemently denounced what I thought her teaching to be. Up to the hour of my healing, whioh was in stantaneous, I had not read one line of authorized Christian Science litera ture, but had assembled In my library many volumes and pamphlets adverse thereto. In August, 1911, while In a hopeless physical condition, I request ed and received a treatment in Chris tian Science. A part of that treatment was a recommendation that I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by hirs. Eddy. This I at first refused to do, but between noon and 1 o'clock on that day, while read ing the first few linos in the chapter on "Prayer," I found myself suddenly released from physical Ills and mental distress. The matchless worth of that release no mortal words can ever ex press. A new heaven and a now earth began to appear in my thought, and the precious truth of healing, widening and deepening In my human con sciousness, as brooklets widen and deepen into rivers, has enabled me to see more clearly and to work more In telligently toward tho realization of that vision which Christ Jesus saw. Mary Baker Eddy A Christian Scientist does not give his testimony to exploit himself, but to express gratitude for the groat things divino love has done for him.! The psalmist expresses this desire in the words: "I have not concealed thy loving kindness. from the great congregation." I havo alluded to my own healing out of tho deepest grati tude to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. I had hated her without a cause, I had ascribed to her base motives, and I had conceded to her no acknowledgement of good. I opened the book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and read on page 1: "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are pos sible to God, a spiritual understand ing of Him, an unselfed love." My heart was moved. said to myself, Only one who has lived near to God could write thus. With that honest recognition of justice to Mrs. Eddy, the healing came. About six months afterward I began a careful study of her life. From various sources I found an illuminating mass of un questionable testimony to her worth. In studying the records of the courts to which Mrs. Eddy appealed In order to protect her writings and maintain the truth of Christian Science un adulterated, there was revealed cor roborative evidence of her unselfed love for humanity. This candid inves tigation clarified my thought and deep ened my conviction already formed that Mrs. Eddy was the most remark able woman since the birth of Chris tianity. Her patience In suffering, un swerving pursuit of truth, loftiness of ideals, knowledge of affairs, mastery of details, simplicity In daily life, re sistance to popular applause, compre hensiveness of tPunt tenacity ej noble purpose, appreciation of tho beautiful, couiiassion toward manklud and devotion to God were some of the qualities which fitted and enabled her to rescue a crippled Christianity from the feeble grasp of a sleeping world and to restore to it the lost power of physical healing, it is rapidly coming to pass in all the world that the great service to humanity which this woman wrought is being told as a memorial of her. God Divine Principle The facts, which preceded and ac companied Mrs, Eddy's discovery of Christian Science have boon touched upon and are In the nature of history. To understand the Science Itself, how ever, it Is necessary to go deeper than the history of Christian Science, how ever wonderful, and endeavor to gain a clearer thought as to the nature of God. A right understanding of God brings freedom and peace to those afflicted with pain and guilt. The world needs to bo redeemed, and you know better than anyone else knows that you, as an Individual, need to be released from the bondage of sin and disease. Many in this audience have received the benediction of healing through Christian Science. This fact should keep us grateful, humble, obedient, and active. There are others hero who know not this wonderful truth, who aro groping In the dark ness of sin and disease, longing for a Saviour. To these weary ones the Christ, Truth, Is ever saying: "Them also I must bring, . . . and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." The promise and its fulfillment are for to day. Healing and regeneration are for this moment, for God is hero now. Why is God here now, and what Is God? Christian Science answers these questions. On page 465 of "Scionce and Health with Key to the Scrip tures," Mrs. Eddy writes: "God Is in corporeal, divine, Bupreme, Infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love." God Is all the life, mind intelligence, truth, love, there ever is anywhere. These qualities manifested by men and women are tho reflection, expression, of God, as tho Scripture snith: "Every good gift and every per fect gift Is from abovo, and comoth down from the Father of lights." The word "finite" means that which is con fined within limits, as to time, place, quality, or activity. Infinite means te very opposite. God is infinite. Be cause God is everywhere all tho time He cannot exclusively bo anywhere at any time. Because God is infinite He cannot for an instant be away from us, for there Is no other place for Him to bo. We cannot be separated from God even though we try, because He is always everywhere. Mrs. Eddy gave God a new name which so appeals to human reason that It destroys the sense of aloof ness and coldness inculcated by deism. She defined God as divino Principlo Ho' who begins to seo and to know God as Principle can no longer view Him as a limited person dwelling somewhere. To do so would be like de claring that the activity of the multi plication table is confined to the United States that it Is inoperative In ail other countries, except when a very earnest petition on the part of some one persuades It to act tempo rarily elsewhere. In . the realm of human knowledge, the mutual attrac tion of the planets, the law of gravita tion, the harmony of music, and the rule of addition and subtraction are absolutel continuous . and applicable everywhere all the time, and so con stitute a principle for human activity Divino Principlo is not only continu ous and unerring, but it is also loving, guiding protecting, healing Father-Mother God. Jesus It Is well at times to reflect some what on ' the meaning of the words Christ and Jesus. The teaching of Christian Srience Is clerir as opposed to that confused thought hold by many pcoplo concerning him known as Christ Jesus. Christian Scientists learn to speak and love to speak very gently and considerately on religious mat ters. They earnestly seek to avoid that wounding of others' sensibilities which has been bo rife in tho past. One of;the results 'of the old theological systems was to load men to tho belief that Christ Jesus was God. Jesus him solf explicitly denied that he was God in the words: "Why callest thou me good ? there is none good but one, that is, God." Mrs. Eddy says on page 332 of "Science and Health with Key to tho Scriptures : "Jesus was the son of a virgin. Ho was appointed to speak God's word and to appear to mortals In such a form of humanity as they could understand as well as perceive.' Jesus was not God. This is proved by the fact that he was tempted and suf fered. K a man, what, then, the dif ference between him and us? It may be answered that he was able not to transgress God's law at any point; we aro able, at the present Btage of our growth, not to transgress at some points. God Is just as near to us as he was to Jesus, but Jesus was spiritually awake and knew God was at band: we aro asleep and know it not. This Is tho difference between the man Jesus and ourselves, a difference which through the leading of Christian Sci ence should grow less and less, Jesus' mission was to show us by teaching and examplo how to attain to the fullness of truth. To accomplish this he came to men on the plane on which they lived and thought, and spoke to thorn in a language which they understood. By way of Illus tration, we know that the mechanic, In utilizing electric current some times is compelled to reduce It to correspond with receiving capacity, In like manner, truth was taught by Jesus, who Bald.: "I have yet many things to Bay unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." Through .Tesus the activity ot-Christ, Truth, appeared to men in gracious words and loving, healing works. So complete did this realiza'Jon el jivjne power fceconje,tca1' ad are &r more complete, satis- that Jesus the Christ boldly declared: 'Ho that hath seen mo hath seen the Father." When Jesus had demon strated over the temporal at every point, all material needs and suffering dropped away from him forever. This completed victory over matter and so called material laws is known In Christian parlance as the ascension. His ascension was not an isolated ex- ericuco in his career, but a process which began with bis birth at Beth lehem and reached perfection on that day when the disciples saw him van ish from mortal sight. Jesus was our elder brother, marking the way. Ho journeyed toward and attained to the goal of freedom from matter; so may we do the same. The Christ Jesus became the model for us all because he was always actuated and guided by Christ, Truth. Tho sup posititious distance which deism puts between God and mnn Is filled and ever has been filled by the unceasing activity of Christ, Truth. Mrs. Eddy says on page 332 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures": "Christ is the true idea voicing good, the divino messago from God to men speaking to the human conscious ness." Tho active love of tho eternal Father is over all His works, and this love Is Oie Christ Christ is - not n competitor of God, but on emanation from God and an importation from uoii. Every manifestation of good In human peace, joy, health, and har mony la the Cnrist. Christ Is the mediatorial path to God. Ho himself says, "No man Cometh unto the Fath er, but by me." Mrs. Eddy named her discovery Christian Science. Science means something that is known. Christian Science means Christian knowing knowing God and His unl verse as Jesus the Christ know them. Christ, Truth, is the alpha and omega of Christian Science. When this truth enters man's: consciousness he begins to realize his at-one-ment with God. Accepting nnd applying this Christ- truth in his daily life is what made Jesus the supremely good man. On page 497 of "Scionce and Hoalth with Key to tite Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy says: "We solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus." Christian Scientists adore the Christ: they reverence Jesus. , The Bible Christ jesus said, "Search tho scrip tures; for in thorn ye think yo hayo eternal life: and they aro they which testify of me." Of course ho nlluded to the Jowlsh Scriptures, for the Now Testament was written at a later date. However, I am certain you will all ngree that we may rightfully include the New Testament, for the latter Is simply the fulfillment of the former. For 25 years before her healing Mrs. Eddy had been a devout student of tho Bible. She was Instantaneously heal ed while reading in the Bible. She saw as no other person ha- seen in this or any other ago since the early Christian period, that Because the Scriptures arc spiritual they are for that very reason practical, and she has magnified the teachings of the Scriptures In nil her works as no other wrltor of modern times has done. In 600 pages of "Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scrip tures," the literal quotations from tho Bible aggregate 23 solid pages. All the spiritual wisdom and understanding which came to her was from the un folding" Of Bible truth. Many books have beon written on the HiblO. - The greater part of them are called com mentarlos, a title fittingly applied, for" they aro comments on tho Bible rather than elucidations of iu Mrs. Eddy's writings open tho Scriptures from the Inside out. On page 547 of "Science and Health with Kay to the Scrip tures," we read: "Tho Scriptures are very sacred. Our aim must be to have them understood spiritually .... It Is this spiritual perception of Scripture, which lifts humanity out of disease and death and Inspires faith.' The Textbook It is fitting at this time to say some thing about tbo Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to tho Scriptures," by Mrs. Eddy. This book is not a commentary on tho Blblo, but akey to It. Other writers claim to bring out treasures from tho Scriptures and to hand them to ub: Mrs. Eddy gives us the key, snylng, Open tho book and holp yourselves. Any claim to excellency can bo sus tained and maintained only by re sults "by their fruits ye shall know them." The spiritual virility and Illu mination whlcn tho student of the Bible rocolves through earnest study of the Christian Science textbook is undeniable proof that the latter is what is claimed for It a key to the Scriptures. Tup dominant thought of the textbook is spiritual. If anything else Is sought In Its pages It will be unresponsive. To those who are hun gering and thirsting after righteous ness, and to the sick and sinful who are seeking peace, it Is as deep re sponding unto deep. Simply the read ing of it has lifted thousands of suf ferers out of despair. Friends: the man who is really homesick to know his heavenly Father, God, from whom he seems to be separated, is ready to study this textbook, and to gain through Its teaching, healing nnd purity and peace. The Christian Sci ence textbook, through Informing and guiding the truth seeker, disposes thoroughly of a cold storago 'Bible, by throwing the doors wide open and exposing its treasures to all who de sire them. Christian Science Healing What Is Christian Science healing? It Is the overcoming of disease by the same method which Jesus employed, that Is, by understanding and utilizing the infinite power of God who, accord ing to the psalmist, healetb all our infirmities. The results in Christian Science healing differ from those brought about by other methods in that they are moral as well as pnys- factory, and enduring. Jesus nevorl employed nor recommended the use of; matter in any form to cure disease. It I Is not easy to see how a physician' can be a follower of Jesus and yet In big profession adopt a remedy ex actly the opposite of that which Jesus, by his acts, authorized. Tills Is no insidious arraignment of the medical profession. This is not an assertion that medical doctors cannot bo Chris tians. It does not impugn their sin cerity and noble purpose. It simply assorts what they themselves some times vehemently declare, that they do not follow Jesus' method of heul Ing. Christian Scientists abide by the fact written In the Blblo that "the ef fectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avalloth much." In one of her books (Miscellaneous Writlugs, p. 96) Mrs. Eddy says of Christian Science healing: "It Is not one mind acting upon another mind; It Is not the trans ference of human linages of thought to other minds; .... it Is not of the flesh, .... It is not one mortal thought transmitted to another's thought from the human mind that holds within It self nil evil." "It Is Christ como to destroy tho power of the flesh; It Is Truth over error." This definition of Christian Science healing is a par tial exposition of Jesus' words: "Yo shall know tho truth, and tho truth shall make you free." If one desires a fuller explanation he must study Christian Science, and learn how evil Is explained and overcomo metaphys ically. The Time of Healing When may mortal man bo freed from torturing woes? When may orroneous thought be corrected and physical healing como? When can he bngln to awaken to that true likeness which brings satisfaction? In other words, when can ho begin to Bee the vision of Christ Jesus perfect God and perfect man? Only as Christian Science awakens understanding and reveals Spirit can tho answer to theso questions bo realized. Jesus gave this comforting advlco; "Ask, and it shnll bo given you; soek, nnd yo shall find; knock, and it shall bo opened unto you"; nnd he gavo his comforting promise: "Blessed nro they which do hunger nnd thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Wo gather from these state ments that man's profoundeBt prayer is an honest, sincere desire for health and peace. Tho man may not know It, but such a dosire means he wants to know good, thnt is, God, hero anil now. When sin and sickness nro tired of themselves, when trust In material pleasure is seen to be the betrayal of one 8 highest good; when human pride and self-will are humbled, then ono may know thnt the ground of tho heart Is being prepared for tho good seod. These are somo of tho signs which in dlcate that man Is prcpnrlng nn "upper room" for tho Mnstor's coming So ho not discouraged; God hns no favorites; opKrtunlty to know God Ib never lost. "Awake thou that sleepest and arise from tho dead, and Christ shall give thee light." The tlmo for healing is now; and tho opportunity is for all who seek It. The Handicap Sooner or Inter mortal man Is forcod to tho conclusion thnt ho has no health, that Is, no healing power In himself, and by tho same tokon ho knows that no other mortal can heal him. He finds himself suffering from a handicap, which must be removed by some outside power before ho can tako any stop Into freedom. As a team of horses, on a rough road, unnblo to start the loud without help, is able after 'the start Is mildo to draw even a heavier load, so man, 'under the Bore burden of sickness and sin, n)Ust have holp before ho can start. It I? not required that a sufforer must bol!flVB In or understand Christian Science before something can be dono for him. I I love Christian Science because It first loved mo; because while I was as yet ignorant of God as boundless, love, Christian Science stretched out, as It wore, a helping hand. Tho Scriptures state this truth on tho romovnl of the handicap very beautifully, "Wo love html because he-first lovod us." Di vino Love always takes the Initiative. This thought gives us courage ; but to be fully benefited wo must turn fully to divine Love. "It Is God which work eth In you both to will and to do." It is God who removes the handicap and enables us to start. Wherefore, "Arise, lot us go hence." The Christian Scientist knows that when failure stared at him on every hand, nnd all othor so-called reme dies brought no relief Christian Sclenco saved him. Ho has learned the universal applicability and abso lute reliability of splrltunl truth. Di vino Love offers no varloly of reme dies. Tho same Principle which heals a headache also purifies the leper and raises the dead. Through understand ing of this Principle" the Christian Scientist helps to realize today the vision of Christ Jesus In destroying sickness and sin. . Ho begins to seo with some clearness that becauso God Is good and has all power, thorefore ovll has no power, that sin, sickness. and death have only a pretense of power which Is accorded to thorn by tho spiritually uneducated state, the frightened, human mind. He loams that this human mind, with Its fears and fear-full Imaginations,, passes to nothingness as the Mind "which was In Christ Jesus" gains the ascendancy. Ho knows that each step toward health and peace taken by ono man or by tho raco, has to start in tho Individ ual consciousness, and that madness, whether the madness of a selfish man, In this audience or tho world's mad ness of a world's wicked war, must give place to Him of whom it is writ ton: "He must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet" (Re vised Version).
