I TWENTY DOLLARS VORTH OF TICKETS 3 SMACK'.: BULG1N CONVICTS SELF, STATES To the Editor: Upon returning atter week's absence, I observe in your issues of May 21th. and 25th Dr. 13ul gln's reply to my defense of Christian Science. I am glad to see that in at least one respect he makes admissions by which he convicts himself, pre senting the Inconsistency of asserting his truthfulness and yet disproving it. With reference to how much ho has "studledf Christian Science," he says that he did not "matriculate as a reg ular stUdent," but "went there "to Boston' more in the nature of a secret service man," and "attended with an other person," admitting that what ever he 'did" learn of Christian Science in Boston or Concord was acquired in Bouie other way than by regular class instruction. If, therefore, what he says is true, and he would be consis tent, an(l honestly wishes to "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth'' lie will never again be guilty of stating either orally or in print tliat he. has taken "the course of lectures given by Mrs. Eddy per- Bonally.jin Boston", designed for read ers," w&lch. Ills own admissions show to be false. . He islentirely mistaken as to there being aiy Christian Science "course of- loctufes . . . for readers." There is i class Instruction provided for a limit ed number of students, to qualify them as practitioners and teachers, but not i for Christian Science "readers" as ;bucu, nor are there any "stato read ers." . .! .- I I would be glad to answer every one j of : Dr. ' Bulgln's questions and criti ! clsnis, for they can be answered, but I It would be asking too much of you to give me the required space in your columns. 1 wiBh, however, to montion a few points not covered by my former letter. : Obedient Christian Scientists do not proselyte, nor do they press their re ligious ' convictions upon unwilling cars. . If, as Dr. Bulgin complains, "ninety-five per cent of the members of the Christian Science church come out of pur orthodox churches," it must be bocause they have found in Chris tian Science something which they failed to get from the socailcd ortho dox . teachings nnd practice, some thing practical, something far more satisfying than, as he expresses it, "mere, cure of tho body." We are glad indeed to. offer in Christ's name a re freshing "cup of cold water" to the hungering and thirsting heart, but we do not Intentionally thrust our views upon thoht who do not care for the healing truth which we havo to offer. We strive "to do unto others as we would be done by." Vhat Mrs. Eddy teaches cannot be fully or fairly stated nor can It be understood by quoting such isolated passages as our critic has selected for ridicule. If subjected to similar treat ment, the Bible Itself would appear inconsistent, illogical, contradictory. To understand either the teachings of Christ Jesus or those of Mrs. Eddy, they ,must be taken in the sense or meaning' the author Intended to con vey, and when thus properly under stood they will be found to agreo. No, It is not true that Mrs. Eddy ever "disowned her own son," nor that a Unitarian or any other preacher "revised and re-wrote her book, Sci ence and Health With Key to the Scriptures." As to how much Mrs. Eddy may have made "out of her prac tice of Christian Science," I cannot say off-hand, tho amount is immater ial, but I do know what (is widely acknowledged, that she never lavished money uion herself, on the contrary, she devoted her life and practically her entire fortune to tho ono causo of Christianity. Any one Interested in the facts about the discoverer and founder of Christian Science may find them in her own writings and In the "Life of Mary Baker Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur. So, too, can the truth as to what Christian Science teaches be best learned direct from Mrs. Eddy's works all of which may be found and consult ed or read in tho free Christian Sci ence reading room in Medford. ' In regard to horsolf, Mrs. Eddy has said "nothing has occurred in my life's experience which. If correctly narrat ed and understood, could injure me." And the late Clara Barton, founder of the American lied Cross and herself a great leader, once said of Mrs. Eddy, "Love permeates all of the teachings of this great woman so great, 1 be lieve, that at this perspective wo can scarcely realize how great and look ing Into her life history we see noth ing but self-sacrifice and selflessness. Mrs. Eddy should have the respoct, admiration and lovo of the whole na tion, for she Is Its grontest woman." THEODORE BURKHART," Christian Science Committee on Publication in Oregon. Portland, Oregon, June 3, 1921. I FAVORS RECALL C.0F E Whenever a serious condition con fronts the people of Medford and such a condition is thoroughly realized, tho citizens of thiH community havo never failed to rally in tho emergency and in Home manner or other solve tho difficulty. A certain condition which it would be unwise to publish broadcast, now confronts Medford and" a call has been issued by the Medford Chamber of Commerce for a meeting1 of its membership at tho Public Library on Tuesday, June ?, at seven-thirty p, m. A full attendance of the member ship Is desired. ' fc , Lucky Strike cigarette IMraa At the Rlalto Edith Roberts was never more lov ably fascinating than she was yester day at the Rlalto theatre in the star ring role of "The Fire Cat." In the conventional black and white of the screen there is painted a drama so exotic-ally brilliant that the specta tor can see the flashing colors of the romantic South American town where the dramatic action takes place Norman Dawn write "The Fire Cat" especially for Edith Roberts and he directed the screen lassie in tho pro duction. With a deft touch ho has given the locale additional glamour throiifih his own familiarity Vlth the Peruvian mountains where be has lived. Wallace McDonald adds to the ap peal of the picture as Miss Roberts' leading man. Walter Long plays the renegade American with revolting realism while Beatrix Dominguez, Ar thtiB Jasmine, and Olga D'Mojean have equally important roles. At the Page "Pink Tights," shown at the Page theatre yesterday, is as clever a com bination of drama, thrills and comedy as ever enlivened a local screen. The thrills of the circus, the drama that enters the life of the little performer and the humor of the small town in habitants are brightly combined In Just the proper proportions for an evening's entertainment. "Pink Tights" will hold forth again tomorrow, giving way tonight for "Ifory" By Kev. V. II. Lcnrli. ' 1 Tho Bulgln-Lewis Evangelistic campaign camo to a close Sunday with three great meetings, In addi tion to the young people's rally. The time period was five weeks. Tho people showed their appreciation of Dr. Bulgln's great services to tho community by sivlng lii.n a free will offering Sundaytot ovar $1,000. Res olutions wer introduced and parsed by a rising vote of tue people show ing their appreciation of tho parly's sorvlces in addition to giving the of fering. A vote of thanks was also given to the Medford Daily Tribune for its generous treatment of tho meetings In tiving space for tne re ports. Mention was also mado of tho fice electric lights furnished by the Electric Company aud of the grand piano loaned by Mr. and Mrs. B.:ebe of Central Point. It may bo of in terest to some to know that Dr. Bul gin is supporting five students in college-at tho present time, and ha. put through over 2 0 In the past, while Mr. and Mrs. Lewis aro sup porting five missionaries in the for eign field. The great audience present last night protested by a rising vote of the action of the sheriff in letting out Deputy McMnhon, who has stood for enforcement of tho liquor laws. Th feeling expressed was strong for recall of the sheriff. Tho Law and Order League which was organized with a largo membership will stand for a nioral clean up in Medford and County, and will have the hearty sup port of tho people without a doubt. A ir.oveme'.t Is on foot to buy tho tabernacle for the use of the Boy Scouts. 2.'0 people last night said they would give a dollar each for thai purpose. Dr. Bulgin added ten do! lars to tho amount. There will bo an effort today to get the balance needed to put up a building for the permanent headquarters of tho Bos- Scout work In the city, which will no doubt be a success. Tuesday evening the young people are to meet at tho Presbyterian church for the purpose of organizing a young People's Workers Band. The work for the young people and boys and girls has been much appreciated and helpful. The churches of Medford and paB- tors feel that notwithstanding the pre judice existing among some on - ac count; of slanderous reports bt Dr. Bulgin, which nro without any foun datlon, tho effort put forth has strengthened tho churches and built up the people In Christian fulth. All uniting in the feeling that the preach ing has been of tho highest character, Some 250 havo taken a stand during the meetings and many will unite with the various churches. The nioral tone of the community has been lifted to a higher plane, which Is needed. Many will go to Ashland to attend the meetings there, which start tonight. Friday of next week will be Medford night. Somo 35 came forward at the clos ing service last night, when Dr. Bul gin spoke on "Cities of Refuge." An opportunity will be given all desiring to unite with any of tho churches to do so Wednesday at the prayer meet ings. A big attendance is urged at nil of tho churches. The bringing to gether of all the churches has pro duced a fine feeling and fellowship, which will serve to strengthen tho Christian forces of the city. Tho pastors and members of the churches outside of the city havo been present and helped in the meetings, and will be benefitted. The tabernacle may re main for a time if the Boy Scouts se cure it. Dr. Bulgin has cooperated with every good movement for the better ment of the city while here, and gave great Impetus to the Chautauqua helping It every way. Ashland Is to be congratulated In having the rare privilege of hearing Dr. Bulgin preach for the next three weeks, and having Mr. and Mrs. Lewis as help- era, who will do a great work In other directions. 1 I I 1 V 1 a dsr v;x a In summer many residents of cities iu Afghanistan move to tents, Y.

Perhaps there is as little known of tho work of the Girls' Reserve of the Y. W. C. A. as of any other branch of the organization In this city. Never theless they have been very busy nnd accomplished many things. Since last October 182 Medford girls havo Joined tho Gills' Reserve. Throughout the United States there are 100,000 Girl Reserve, who havo taken for their standard tho samo as Medford girls, their slogan, "To face HfO squarely." Their purpose: '"To find and give tho host." Their code.
