MEDFORD .MAIL TRIBTTirE, SIEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, XPBIL' 13, 1932. PAGE FIVE E MRS LECTURER The following lecture on Chrls tln Science, entitled "Christian Sci ence; Ite Logical Interpretation of Scripture." u given last evening at the Rlalto theater by William Duncan Kllpatrlck, C.S.B.. of De trolt. Mich., member of tre board of lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist. In Boston. Mass.: In her various works on the sub ject, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, has Included many wide and far. reaching predictions. History has proved and Is constantly proving not only the verity of these predictions but the further fact that they evi denced a keen spiritual faculty, vis Ion, and foresight. In her book en titled "Pulpit and Press" (p.32) Mrs. Eddy makes this statement: "If the lives of Christian Scientist attest their fidelity to Truth.- I predict that in the twentieth century every Christian church In our land, and a few In far-off lands, will approxi mate the understanding of Christian Science sufficiently to heal the sick ' in his name. Christ will give to Christianity his new name, and Christendom will be classified as Christian Scientists." This prediction wns made relatively a short time ago. Very recently, ac cording to reports appearing in the press of the country, one of the large Protestant church denomina tions in the United States, at Its regular, general convention, was presented with a report submitted by a Joint committee composed of bishops and deputies of that organi zation, after six years of careful study and Investigation on the part of the committee, which report finds as follows: I. "That Christian healing has passed beyond the stage of expert' ment and Its value cannot be ques tioned. 2. "That throughout the world spiritual healing Is no longer the hope of a few, but the belief and practice of a large and rapidly In creasing number of persons. 8. "That auch healing Is an ex. perlence of mankind that can no longer be questioned. 4. "That while faith In any sup posed remedy produces some effect, vital faith In Ood, as revealed In Christ, Is followed by results which are more sure, more lasting, and of more evidently spiritual character." That report was signed and sub mitted not only by bishops and depu ties of the church but by some of the leading physicians and furgeons of the United States. God The foundation of the entire reve. latlon which Mrs. Eddy has given to humanity in Christian Science Is the clear concept of God and man which ahe gained through her cease less and prayerful search of the Scriptures. Therefore, It ts to the Scriptures we all must go If we would know the true God revealed in Christian Science. By way of deduction let us see If we cannot come clear concept of Ood. In h first chapter of Genesis we rea dthls: "And God said. Let us make man in our Image, after our likeness; and let them have domin ion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man In his own image, in the Image of God created he him; , , . and God saw every thing that he made, and. toehold, It was very good." Here we find man a perfect Image of God, pure, holy, spiritual and upright. Now, turning to the very next chapter of Genesis, Just six verses farther along In the Bible, we read this: "But there went up a mist from the earth. . . . and the Lord Ood formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed Into hla nos trils the breath of life; and man became a living eoul." Here we have a second account of the crea tion of man diametrically opposed to the first account In the first ehapter of Genesis Just six short verses removed. Then going on a little farther, the third chapter of Genesis has this to say about thla man made from the dust of the ground, this man who goes by the name of Adam, this man of flesh and blood and bones: "And unto Adam he (the Lord Ood) said . . . cursed Is the ground for thy sake: In sorrow shalt thou eat of It all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall It bring forth to thee; ... In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou re turn unto the ground; for out of It wast thou taken; for dust thou art. and unto dust shalt thou re turn." Now there must be something wrong somewhere. What do you suppose has become of the domin ion, the power, the goodness, the purity, and the holiness with which God endowed man only a few verses back, before the mist arose? Here we have clearly two distinct and op posing statements about man. One Is that man is good. pure, holy and spiritual, hss dominion over every thing, la crested of Ood. and U like Ood. The other la that he Is a helpless, defenseless, powerless creature, made of plain everyday dust from no particular pattern whatever. The only thing In the Bible that separates these two dif fering accounts of man's creation is the "mist." No mention Is made of the man created In the Image and likeness of Ood as having sinned and fallen, or as having been changed In any way. There comes the mist, and then comes the account of the creation of man as about the most helpless and miserable creature one could Imagine we can determine what Ood la like. Til Sible from beginning to end Is replete with answers to this query. Isaiah, for Instance, having knowl edge, evidently, of this account of creation which depicts man as made from dust and as having the breath of life breathed Into hla nostrils, writes. "Cesse ye from man, whose breath la in his nostrils; for where in Is he to be accounted of?" Job, commenting on thla earns man, his Adam man, this man of the dust and of the ground, aaya: "Msn that la born of woman Is of few days, and full of trouble. He eometh forth like a flower, and Is cut down; he fleeth also as a shadow, and contlnueth not. ... For there la hope of a tree. If It be cut down, that It will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. . . . But man dleth. and wasteth away." Jesus said, "The fleah (that la, the material man) profleth noth ing." We are not, then, left long In doubt as to what the writers In the Bible think about this dust man, this man of flesh and blood and bones this Adam man. Of the man described In the first chapter of Genesis, made In the Im age and likeness of God and having dominion over all the earth, the Psalmist wrote: "For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels. and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over title works of thy hands; thou hast put all things un der his feet." Some difference here between the msn made In the Image and likeness of Ood and the man made of the dust of the ground, who Is depicted as a miserable, groveling. helpless creature I If we are to put any confidence at all In the Bible we are bound to the conclusion that this man of flesh and blood and bonea, this Adam man, Is not the man of Ood's creating, and that, therefore, mortal, material, man does noe represent God. We are bound to the further conclusion that the man apoken of In the first chapter of Genesis, who la depicted as good and as having dominion over all the earth, la like God. So, If we have done nothing else from this course of reasoning, we have found that God is In no wise similar to that which you and I have been wont to call material man. And thus, by the pro cess of elimination, we have abol ished completely any sense of God aa a humanly circumscribed person ality. Now. to face about In our reason ing: Jesus described God as Spirit, which, of course, has nothing to do In any way with what may be termed matter or the physical. Spirit signi fies infinite, filling all space, ever present, everywhere, here and now. Jesus also referred to God aa good; not aa a good God, but as good It self. Good n cas la what? Mental, of course. Goodness la not and never can be a quality of matter. It must be mental. St. Paul , refers, on sev eral occasions, to the "mind of the Lord," or the "mind . . . which was also In Christ Jesus," pointing out t,hat the animating Principle or Good of Jesus the Christ was Mind, and that this Mind la the true God. St. John tells us that God 1st Love. To be exact, St. John says: "Every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth Ood. He that loveth and not knoweth God; for God Is love." Wist Is love? It la mental, Is It not? It Is something expressed In thought. Thus we see that the Bible leavea no room for doubt aa to what God Is and Hla exact nature. Now, there is no equivocation what ever about Jesus' statement that God la Spirit. No one could misunder stand that. There la no question whatever about St. John's statement that Ood Is Love. No one would deny that love Is something expressed in tnougnt, word, and deed. If, there fore, God la something expressed In the consciousness of man, la It not clear that the God of man must also be the Mind of man? And If this conclusion Is a logical one then is not clear that man, the Image and likeness of God, which the Book of Genesis describes as good and as ,hav lng dominion over all the earth, la mental or spiritual, sot physical? ASK 'GREENHORNS' KEEP AWAY FROM Search for the bodies of Edwin C. Brown and his wife, who lost their Uvea In a blizzard that roared through the Dead Indian district January 11, last. continues.

William Taylor, one of the leaders In the search and a neighbor of the Browns, through the sheriff office has requested "that all greenhorns I atsy away from the district" on the grounds they are apt to get lost themselves snd start new searching posses. According to Taylor, "the country all looks alike now with snow on the ground, and lt' no trick to get lost."

ASKS COATING OF OIL FOR MAIN ROAD A petition, signed by practically all the business men and residents of the Eagle Point district, was pre sented to the county court this morning asking that a light layer of oil be applied to the main road of that place to lay the dust during the summer months. Heavy auto travel over the road during the summer makes the dust a terrific nuisance to the housewives of that section. The petition was presented by Royal Brown of Eagle Point. Inasmuch as the oiling fund was cut to the bone by the budget com mittee last winter, there 1 no money on hand for the war on dust, so the Eagle Point plea waa taken under I advisement with the promise relief i would be granted If possible. j It la reported that several districts 1 lying alongside main traveled dirt 1 roads will file similar petitions. j The county court yesterday visited : the Dead Indian and Wagner Creek j roads, Inspecting proposed road lm- 1 provements. Both matter were tak en under advisement. This morning session of the county court waa devoted chiefly to signing the mid-month batch of bills.

Hoc Shot for Mellon Aa you know," Governor Murray said, "we have just got rid of a sec retary of the treasury under whom three presidents have served. It's about time we got a president to serve over the secretary of the treas ury." Ooveroor Murray absolutely refus ed to discuss the sudden termina tion of his speaking tour In Oregon. "That la one thing I will not dis cuss," said the governor. "I have nothing to say about It now." Later he wsa again questioned about the speaking tour and, show ing some little ire. declared that the question had been asked before and he had given hla answer. He de clined to comment upon possible conditions In Oklahoma City which might have some bearing on hie sud den decision to return there. Naturally I would go home. wouldn't I?" was the extent of his comment. DAIRYMEN TO MEET ATC.

(AP) "This Is an emergency, not pro hibition fight," said Dr. Daniel A. Poling, chairman of the allied forces for prohibition, In addressing a mass meeting of prohibition workers here last night, after declaring that re peal of the Oregon dry law would be a severe blow to the dry cause. "Let them win here, let the prin ciple of withdrawal of aupport of the constitution, once pledged, be estab lished," he stated, "and there ts no prophet competent to tell where the work will end." He said repeal of the Oregon law would be of greater consequence than repeal In New York because Oregon has been recognized as a dry state while New York never was dry." "Every communist." he ssld, "would thank Ood" for repeal of the Oregon dry law. Inasmuch a "repeal would lend aid and comfort to alien and unfriendly forces."
