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?

EAGLE PI. 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.

OF
PORTLAND, Ore., April 13. (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."
