The ranoh at the eitreme weat end of the dlatrlot waa then owned by Sammy March. Mr. March had good-sized family. George March of Central Point and Mra. Marlon Hart ley of Talent, are two members of hie family now known here. The dwell ing, a email brown cottage, itood where the Meads home is now. tms ranch comprised the Meads, Stanley Vaughn and Harry Nealon ranches and a part of the Cherry ranon. The next house was on what la now known as the Hamlin plaoe and belonged to Benton Vincent (grand father of our rural mall carrier, Bd Vincent.) This plaoe waa divided Into three parts by Mr. Vincent, who re served the part where the house stands for himself. The part across the road, known as 'John's 40 he gave to his eon, the lata John Vln cent. This now belongs to Mr. Ar nold of Medford. The third part waa deeded to his daughter, Mrs. Mary Fankey, now deceased. This Is now a part of Mra. Leo Hardmans estate Z am told that Mr. Vincent purchased this ranch from Jake Gonley and that It was homesteaded by a uhrla May, hut he seems unknown by old resi dents. "The house In which the Charley Angles live on the Wycoff place was next and was the old Billy wnaon farmstead. This was a large ranch at that time, Including part of Hard mans. all of the Sam Newman, Wy coff, 8am Collins and Chase places. Mrs. Martha Oregory of Agate and Mrs. Jaok Hematreet of Medford were born on this farm, alio Mrs. Mary Payne of Medford and Erastus Wilson of Rogue River. "The Dim lap ranch was formerly an old donation claim, purchased by Dr. Btanley from a Mr. Satterftetd, who homesteaded It. Dr. Stanley built the house which a till atands. The closet over the fireplace was hla medicine chest. He waa the grand father of Jasper, Joe and Minna Han nah and Mrs, 11m Dally of Medford, and he twisted at the birth of many of Table Rock's early cit teens. This ranoh comprised the Charles Dunlap. Blanch Gregory and Ralph Wilson farms. When my folks came here It was owned by Fwd Hansen, a Dane, who was much In favor of education. Ha secured a teacher for a private winter school which was held In the Crown house behind his dwelling, now occupied by the Clements family. Hla children and my oldest brother were all who atttended, owing to the muddy roada that the others would tiav had to travel. Miss Mary New bury, sister of Qua Newbury, taught this school. Some years later, Mr. Hansen deeded the acre on which our present school house stands to the Table Rock school district, tn 1801 Sammy March built the school house that was replaced by the pres ent one in ibid. The Nealon ranch was then owned viy Jim Collins, father of Mrs. Billy Wilson. Ho reared a family of 10 children In the old house which still stand. This ranch wm home steaded by "Dad" William Bvbee and has never been aub-dlvided. The public school house then stood near , ths twin oak tree where our house X (Sage's) Is located. f The ranch across the road, now comprising the Lydlard, Colonel Miller, Seabrooke and Xd Wilson places was then owned by W, O. W. Oregory, who had three children, Mrs. Geo. Yeo of Ashland, Mrs. John - Harvey of Oold Hill and Milton Gregory, now deceased. The bouse with three cedar trees guarding It. as I remember, stood at the south -et ooraer of the Wilson pear orch 1 The Mother Church. ard. Tom Collins, youngest brother of the Collins who owned our place, once told us . that he homesteaded this ranch and sold It for a yoke of oxen. Mr. Gregory sold to Bd Drum who prabably did more for this neighborhood than any other one man. It was he who formed the Table Rock .ditch company and did most of the work on the original dltoh. In fact It was while working on this ditch that fc contracted the disease that took his life at an early age. The Ptnkney Pickens ranch In cluded the B. w. Carlton, J. 0. Pen dleton, W. B. Morris and By rum ranches. This ranch had belonged to Jake Rlasley, who had many ex citing experiences with the Indians. I can remember the log house which stood where the Red Skin pear orchard la now. There were loop holes In the logs upstairs for firing guns In case of an attack. Grandpa Pickens lived In It fifty years ago and the Plnkney Piokens family In the B. W. Carlton house. He built the Pendleton home after selling the east half of this ranch to W. R. Dlcklson. Mrs. Fred Weeks of Med ford la a daughter of Mr. Pickens. The Cy Pickens ranch has been divided more than any other ranoh of the neighborhood, the following places having been formed of It: V. Schafer's, F. Meyer's, B. M. Tut tle's, B. O. Hamilton's, H. Rogers F. Hensley's, W. Housley's, F. Smith Danna's, Val Ware's, and N, Jacob sen's. The original dwelling stood Just behind the Tuttle home. Cy Pickens was county oommlssloner In 1B84 and "88 and It was then through his efforts that Bybee bridge was built, the south end of the county objecting strongly. The laat and largest ranch of the dlatrlot now known as the Modoc orchard was the old BUI Bybee grain and stock ranch. Mr, Bybee did not live here himself but al ways had two or three tenants on the place. This ranoh la the only one of the district that has been added to rather than detracted from. All the land on the left side of the road which Is now a part of the Modoc orchard was the old Ed Nich ols homestead. Roy Nichols of Cen tral Point and Ohas. Nichols of Med ford are members of the large fam ily of children born there. Most of the farms were then part ly covered with pine timber, and wild animals and game were plenti ful. My mother often told us of seeing two black bears ambling across what Is now called the Byrum place, while aha waa hanging out clothes one evening, and the howl ing of coyotes was about the only muslo that rent the air on winter evenings.

MEDFORD MAIL A Lecture on Christian Science Entitled Christian Science: Its By REV. IRVING C of Boston, Member of the Board . Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. Mass. . Front the) moment of Its first dlacoverr In 1886 by Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science ha of fered adrantage that bar been widely recognized. The number is crowing that accept the ben efit. What are these advantage? The great advantage Christian 8clence bestow upon men is the gain of spiritual understanding, by which they win a demonstra ble aenae of Ood and man, and the result Is harmony in place of dis cord, the true way to peae in place ot war; health instead of disease, strength Instead of weak ness; prosperity rather than ad versity, supply rather than lack; employment in place of unemploy ment, work In place ot idleness; freedom, not bondage; liberty, not serfdom; joy rather than sorrow, happiness rather than grief; fruit age instead of dearth, life Instead of death. Who is there In the world that does not desire these advantages; Bow then may we take them? By right thinkLng and true living; tn a word, by knowing the truth. Investigation ot this subject is tree to all. Christian Science Sun day services and Wednesday eve ning testimony meetings in The Mother Church and Its branch chnrchea throughout the world are open to all. Christian Science Reading Rooms In nearly every large city, as well as smaller ones, welcome all. Christian Science literature through its active dis tribution committees Is placed conveniently for inquirers. Its au thorized lectures are without ad mission fee. What is it that hinders some from accepting God's benefits? What is it but a wrong sense of thlnes? False education has taught mortals to look to the five corporeal senses tor rename tes timony about all tmngs. THH CORPOREAL SENSES ARE UNRELIABLE The world has made a verity ot the corporeal senses. What the material eye sees has been thought ot as real and God-given. Many thinkers are breaking away from this false idolatry. Through Chris tian Science they are turning from their Childish Ignorance ot reality to the true understanding of the aenulne facts of being. Mankind Is learning that this outward world, as viewed by the five sens es, is not the world of God's cre sting, but is a counterfeit; that which seems to be but is not. For example, in the Canadian Rockies, when one from his hotel Srst looks upon Lake Lonlne, with bigh mountains at its foot that ippear to cIobo In at its remote head, the lake seems to be a tri angle with tbe base parallel to the hotel. The next day, when he climb the mountain and looks upon the beautiful sheet of water. It appears a parallelogram with four equal sides. Only scientific engineering can disclose the truths about this gem of the mountains. for the material senses contradict themselves. Likewise the material senses that seem to tell us the facta about God, man, and the universe are at fault in' their testimony, and the truth must be discerned by tut understanding of the Scrip tures and the Science ot being. The Scriptures reveal that God is Mind, Spirit, Life, Truth, Love. Christian Science teaehes that God Is the infinite Soul ot every living thing, the divine Principle, ot all that Is. Christian Scienoe also tails us that man "is not made up ot brain, blood, bones, and other ma terial elements" (Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures, p. 476). This is rlEht in line with Biblical authority, for the Bible says that man is mane in trie Image and likeness of God. So man Is like Truth, like Love; he is the Image of Mind, the reflec tion of Life, the expression of Soul, the manifestation ot Prin ciple. Matorlal sense has perpe trated many deceptions upon hu manity and among these is the deception that the corporeal body, physique, is man. Has God a single one of the cor poreal nonsesf The entire realm ot material sense is outside the realm of divine Intelligence. All our trouble, occur In the material sense realm. Aeenmnlatlon of mat ter la an accumulation ot matorlal sense testimony and therefore an accumulation of matter la futile to guarantee security against loss es and crashes In business. Right today, what has become of confi dence In the matorlal regime of business? Both rich and poor alike are uncertain and fearful. But srn'itual Ideas, which are real and .-id. are cumulative, for, "Who iver hath, to him shall be glv ja." For he who discerns the line of demarcation between eorporeal sense and reality, between matter and Spirit, receives more spiritual ideas, mora understanding, whloh Is the substance of Spirit. Again, to continue on this point ot corporeal sense, no organ! structure can make dust see. Does an unconscious mortal see, thongh hla eye I perfect? I there any vision where there Is no mind, no consciousness? Did not the Psalm tat catch a glorious glimpse of tbla when be said; "Be that planted Terraplane Car Seta New Record In Official Teat XJ.

Does It not see without organic structure? The perfect un derstanding of "Mind-faculties' (Science and Health, p. 487) en abled Jesus to heal blindness. GOD AVAILABLE FOR ALL NEEDS One may say: "Ton may be able to see with the eye of spir itual sense but simply cannot do it- I should like to know God who, as the Bible says, healeth all tby disease.' I should like to see the truth that will free me from the bondage of error, but how can I?" Christian Science makes clear that the normal thing. the natural thing, Is to see God, to know the truth, and be a free man. How then shall we remove the veil that hide reality? What con stitutes the veil of obscurity but fear. Ignorance, and sin? Igno ranee of what' God Is, Ignorance of what man la. Before hearing of Christian Science, although I was an or- dained clergyman and seeking God, I seemed unable to feel His nearness sufficiently to see God's promise fulfilled, that He "heal- eth all thy diseases." Tbe Bible accounts of God's helpful dealings with patriarch and prophet seemed impossible in our times. But after getting an understand ing of Christian Science, after Infinite Mind, our God, had healed me of stubborn ailments through my silent communion with Him God then seemed near, a very present help in times of trouble. Then I had a God that was close by and available for my needs. For example, after I had learned of Christian Science, whenever I had finished a long, hard day's work and was weary and con fused, I would take time to think of Him, to realize His Infinite love and Hla omnipotent power. Then the weariness would fade away, the confusion vanish, and strength and alertness take their places. This made the God of tbe Bible very real and a healing Influence, for my need was met. When one knows and proves that he has an all-powerful, all-loving, and ever- present helper siways available, does not that kind of thinking give him confidence to meet every problem and take away an aouotsr THE ADVANTAGE OF KNOW ING OOD ARIGHT Christian Science taught me the supreme value ot knowing God aright. As I learned more of God as Principle, I took my first stop out of the old into the new. I had never thought of using the truth about God and man as a help In healing. I accepted the scholastic teaching about God and left It there, I read In tbe original Greek that God is Spirit, but I still clung to physical force as power and gave no heed to all-powerful, im partial Love. When a Christian Scientist, a friend, told me a little about God a divine Principle, I got my first glimpse of Deity as practical and available. This friend explained to me that there must be a governing Principle of God's kingdom, that God is the Principle ot the spiritual universe and man. When we peroelve that God is Principle, then we have a Science available to solve our mental, moral, and physical prob lems. Christian Beleno includes in its unparalleled definition of God sev en synonyms. "Mind. Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love" (Sci enoe and Health, p. 466), and these terms are of equal rank and are Interchangeable. But like the facets of a flawless diamond they flash variegated lights for our un derstanding. They present to our perception various aspects ot di vinity, as for example the primi tive, unchanging essence of good; the dependability and authorita tiveness of Deity, that power whloh rules all nations with a rod of iron, that Is, an Immutable Principle. This Principle Is Incor ruptible Being; a continuing Prin ciple which presents an aspect of eternal Life, Its permanence and continuity, as well as the Invari able nature of Truth and the Im mutability ot Love. What a bless ing to mankind it Is to have a God w can Intelligently know and lovingly call on in every em ergency, try, weigh, measure what Principle Is, ss distinguished from material desire, human will, mes merism, and personality. Again, Principle la the one and only Mind, God. When this Mind Is made manifest it exterminates error. Ood, infinite Mind, operat ing through spiritual law, heals the sick. The right knowing of Ood is the apprehension that God la Life, Truth, 1-ot. Ufa la di vine Love In action. Real Life is on infinite, eternal, omnipresent, indestructible, self-existent Truth. When we know Troth, we become conscious of Ufa. real being. This knowing is reflection then we are In Lite. Jeans said: "This Is lit eternal, that they might know thee the only true God. and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." To know God Is real being, and Chrts Uaa Science makes It possible to received the following telegram from the Hudson Motor Car company: "All dealers: Special news flash bul letin from Daytona Beach, PI a..

We have a much of God's all ness as we understand and dem onstrate, but this we cannot dem onstrate unless we grasp the great truth in Christian Science that there is but one Mind. Suppose a case of domestio discord. Can we not see that knowing there is but one Mind would be a belp7 With as many minds in the home as there are mortals these many minds might express ignorance, fear, doubt. These many minds might not have completely over come the flesh. Human error might suggest to them, jealousy, resentment, irritation; but know ing that there is only one Mind and that Mind God, can and does put an end to the belief of many minds operating. Then the peace ot this one Mind would be made manifest in the very qualities of divine Mind's own nature. We learn never to settle any subject until we refer It to Mind, God. and consider it from a correct basis, CHTtlST JESUS In his thinking and living the Christian Scientist finds that the scientific understanding of Christ Jesus is fundamental in his heal ing work. What was It that made Jesus victor? He explained it, say ing. "Ye shall know the truth. and the truth shall make you free." "I and my Father are one, were his words. Not that he taught that he was God, for he said. TOy Father I greater than I," but that his nature was the very nature of his Father. The Christ Is the very nature and es sence of God expressed. It is this nature, this Christ, Truth, that is always with us, that does the works through ub as it did through JesuB; hence Jesus could say, "The works that I do shall be do also. The invisible Christ-idea through the human Jesus reached human ity, made the Word flesh, made the Christ practical In human af fairs. This application ot Truth to human experience was divinity reaching humanity with salvation, with understanding, for it im parted a . new basis of being. A proper understanding, a correct estimate of Christ Jesus, is essen tial; the revelation cannot be sep arated from the revelator. The Christ-Idea gives to men the abil ity to govern corporeal phenomena by spiritual law; as our Leader says, "The Principle of these mar velous works is divine; but the actor was human" (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 199). MAN In Christ, Truth, Is found the right understanding of man. In the light of Christ, Truth, man is lifted out of the darkness of a matter existence into the kingdom of Spirit, God. In the words of Scripture, Man is the image and likeness of God; that Is, he is not of the dust, not like matter, not like flesh, but the image of hlB Maker, the likeness of Spirit, the Idea of Mind, the reflection of di vine Love. The qualities of the animal na ture do not constitute man. The roal man is not physical, not ma terial, but he is of tbe same na ture as his creator; the nature ot good, the nature of Truth, the nature of unending Life. Good is eternal; Truth never dies. Man, the real man, who is like good like Truth, is unending. If the real man were flesh, If he had any of the elements ot matter, he would be as frail, as temporal, as mortal as matter; but God's man. that each one is. Spirit s likeness, manifests dominion; he is without beginning ot years or end of days. He is Immutable, indestructible immortal. Christ Jesus bad this right un derstanding of man, as Science and Health teaches, the same spiritual status of man which heals the ick and the sinning. It Is well to picture the real man, to vision the spiritual fact, and firm ly turn our thoughts away from the material concept of man, for man Is not the human ooncept of man. We are destined to outgrow mortal definitions of ourselves. We must transplant our concept of man from the human and mor tal to the infinite and divine, for such intelligent thinking 1b health making and harmony producing and leads the way to our heavenly estate. HEALINGS It Is this true understanding of God and man in the light of Christ, Truth, through which heal ing is wrought In Christian Sci ence. Mrs. Eddy, its Founder, was ever tireless in her search for mora and more of this true sense of God and man. She was the em bodiment of courage. In her con sciousness there was no element ot weakness. Whatever the seem ing discord or stubborn opposi tion, she rose magnificently, sin gle-handed and for the most part alone, to meet 1L such under standing, such spiritual power, such certainty of truth, such con-' vtction of right shone forth from Mary Baker Eddy! She knew that God had spoken and she was im movable in Truth. Time would not permit me to relate the many ease ot healing wrought by Mr. Eddy which I w with my own eyes, other were related to me by Mrs. Eddy herself, or told to me by those healed, or described to me by those possessed ot the facts. May I give two cases ot healing by Mrs. Eddy herself, tMat I wit nessed. A lady of Concord, New Hamp shire, telephoned me for help on the day that the Christian Scien tists In attendance upon the Annu al Meeting of The Mother Church were visiting Concord in 1902. I asked the patient to come to Chris tian Science Hall, which was then my residence as well as the tem porary church home. She told me that she was so ill with what the doctors called asthma and heart disease, thst she knew she could not walk the three short blocks, and if she did It would be Impos ord 86 point 838 miles per hour 5 mile record 80 point 431 miles per .hour previous records for closed cars In this division ware 87 point 719 mile per hour for the 1 mile and 89 point 84 miles per hour for 8 mile Terraplane eight sedan record. 'Also beats all open car records In this division for the distances pre vious record for I mile being 70 sible to climb the few steps lead ing to the hall. She arrived, however, at the hour that Mra. Eddy was to pass in her carriage. I told her that Mrs. Eddy was expected any mo ment and that she had sent word to me that she would be glad to greet the waiting Scientists. Her carriage soon approached. The patient stood on the sidewalk lead ing to Christian Science Hall, where Mrs. Eddy eould easily see her. After Mrs. Eddy had gone by, I said to the woman tbat I would help her up the steps into the home to have her treatment. She replied in effect: "Why, I don't need a treatment. I am healed. When dear Mrs. Eddy passed she recognized me, greeted me, and now I am well." True it was, the cure had been wrought. and this woman gratefully ac knowledged Mrs. Eddy as the channel of her restoration. Out of many, I select another case of healing I witnessed, this time in the home at Chestnut Hill. One morning when the household was called into the study by Mrs. Eddy, a case of in stantaneous healing was wrought by her before our very eyes. As the family entered the study, one member made her way into the room with great difficulty. She bad all the appearances of one suffering from nervous prostra tion or great exhaustion. Mrs. Eddy saw her pitiful condition, and called the straggler to her side. Then she spoke to her with decision, rebuking the error and calling on her to come ont from her mesmerism and to witness to her true selfhood. While the mem bers of the household stood there, they saw a decided change come over the patient Mrs. Eddy con tinued to rebuke the error as she teaches Christian Scientists to do, and before the eyes of those pres ent, the afflicted one was com pletely healed. What seemed a re buke to a friend was a rebuke to tbe error, which proved ita noth ingness. The evidence that it was Love which governed Mrs. Eddy is the fact that quickly the patient was completely healed. When the members of the household left the room, the restored member went about her affairs and con tinned from that moment the ever faithful helper of Mrs. Eddy that she had always been. Now this healing which Mrs. Eddy did and taught is going on in the world through the religious movement which she established. SERVICE Ernest inquirers ask: "What does Christian Science say about hard times? What antidote baa it for want, depression, discourage ment?" It teaches that spiritual thintdna- and clean living will antidote bard times, it says that unselfish service will heal depres sion. Because Mrs. Eddy lived in obedience to the divine Principle, Love, which she taught, she fell heir to its promises; she therefore manifested lie quality of abund ance. Poverty, unemployment, hard ship assailed Mra. Eddy. Aban doned by her family, with no human source of supply, no occu pation or employment, she offered hor wares, -Christian Science, all she had. They were not com- orahended. not wanted; they were disapproved, rejected. But as the years went on, the operation of divine Principle in her experience brought plenty and met every need. Panics, depression, market conditions had no effect upon her status. Abundance poured in upon her, because her motive was to bring to mankind the revelation which was to help humanity. Her holdings were spiritual, a property that could not be morteaged, fore closed, or lost: it was the king dom of heaven within her and all these things were added. Let us contemplate the example of her demonstration of supply, for Mrs. Eddy's demonstration ot sufficiency is In the life she led. I shall never forget my first inter view with her, In her home at Concord, New Hampshire. She had just given the "Address on the Fourth of July at Pleasant View . , 1897" (Miscellaneous Writ ings, p. 251). Mary Baker Eddy was in her seventy-sixth year. She had not only spoken at length, but had listened attentively to many speakers, had served a hostess to the throng, had interviewed many of her followers, but when I took her hand in greeting, though the day was one of the hottest of sum mer days, she waa cool and peace ful, unruffled in outward appear ance, and aglow with spiritual strength. She greeted me with a loving smile. Every look, word, gesture, showed her a born leader and a true woman. This was a picture of Mrs. Eddy's sense ot service (mind you in her seventy sixth year), and this was the way I found her during my twelve years of happy service with her. always unselfed love, expressed. Truly selfless love is the demand of the Cause she founded, for Mrs. Eddr has so modestly said of herself in "The First Church of Christ. Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 247), "The Utile that I have accomplished haa all been done through love, self-forgetful, pa tient, unfaltering tenderness." Now let me tell you another story about Mrs. Eddy. Early in the Civil War, she learned that a young soldier was about to start for the front without a copy of the sacred Scriptures. She made inquiries and learned that tbe young volunteer waa the eldest son of a poor widow. It was at a time when Mrs. Eddy's Income waa modest, and her charities to the soldiers and their families had left her on this day with but a dollar tn hor purse. To her sense, the young man's need outweighed her own. She took her dollar and with it bought a New Testament and gave It to the young defender of his country. Some time after the close of the war. when the brave soldiers were returning to their homes, there came a rap at Mrs. . Eddy's door. point 68 miles per hour for 6 miles 69 point 00 miles per hour the new records established by the Terraplane elsht sedan were made under the official supervision of the contest board of th American Automobile association. "An Interesting side light In con nection with this record Is that the Terraplane eight sedan lists at 8735 f. o. b. Detroit and th division in There waa "tumerea m a bearded man wearing a soldier's garb. When Mra Eddy met him, he said: "Ton do not remember me, but I am the soldier to whom you gave a Testament as I was going to Join my regiment. I have sought you out to thank you for the blessed hook, which has al ways been a nelp to me and which was the means of saving my Ufe." He then carefully took from his pocket tbe well-worn Testament and presented it to Mrs. Eddy. Embedded between its covers was a leaden bullet. Said tbe soldier, "That rifle ball was meant for my heart, and I have come many miles to show you that your good ness saved my life." THE REMEDY FOB DEPRESSION Mrs. Eddy' teaching and prac tice point out the remedy for want, depression, and unemploy ment and show how to gain sup ply, employment, abundance. For the spread ot Christian Science Mra. Eddy left a rich bequest to her church and this bequest was the outcome of ber desire to serve. The way to get is to give. It is said that Christian Scientists are prosperous. The reason is plain. Those who give ot themselves thereby reflect their Maker, the source of all supply. In accord with infinite good in serving and In giving, the law of good works on their behalf. Forsaking the false sense of self, they find them selves in the realm of spiritual sense where God, tbe source of supply, dwells. In the recent period of material Inflation men exalted self and lost love. In the present times of trial and stress men are endeavoring to retrace by learning to lose self and win love. They are taking up the cross by putting down self interest and making lite a loving service. A Christian Scientist does not try to demonstrate dollars and cents. What a Christian Scientist does is to gain an unfoldment of the truth of being in his individ ual consciousness: this is unfold ing to the truth about Life. Is not Life self-sustained? Is Life not all-sufficient? And in unfold ing to Life are we not unfolding to its all-BUfflciency? What Christian Science does is to unfold to tbe student's thought the truth, about Love; does not Love forever receive and give? There Is no impoverished condi tion where Inexhaustible Love is. A Christian Scientist awakens to the truth about substance, as Sci ence and Health (p. 468) says, "Substance is that which is eter nal and Incapable of discord and decay."

EDDY'S SERVICE TO HUMANITY Mrs. Eddy was the herald of good times. This does not mean that she was always affluent. She has often told me that while she was writing Science and Health she bad but one presentable gown and this she mended and patched times without number. But even in those days she would share. She had absolute confidence in her message, and though none of her students encouraged ber in writing the Christian Science text book, she resolutely continued, trusting God and not personality to support her. At one time when it was needful that she visit her publisher in Boston she did not have the money to pay her ear fare. She started to walk the en tire distance from Lynn to Boston. Fortunately a kindly under taker, seeing the lone, mature figure of a delicate gentlewoman traveling along the highway in vited her to share his seat with him. This offer she gratefully and graciously accepted. He did not know her, but afterwards learned who she was, and told this story ot her ride with him. As time went on, through the success of her writings, she was able to give more and more to the Cause. When It took nearly all her ready funds, she set aside one hundred thousand dollars to build a suitable church in Concord for the accommodation of the vast number of visitors who were pouring into Concord from all over the world. She started to build The Mother Church during the so-called hard times of 1892 to 1894, and it was dedicated without a debt. When this edifice was outgrown she called for two million dollars to build The Mother Church Ex tension, and before its completion word, went out that no more money was needed. In the spirit of their Leader, since their pres ent Publishing House Is outgTown, the Tjoard of Directors of the Christian Science church sent out word to Christian Scientists to meet this need. Christian Scientist! are erecting a commodious building and thus doing their part to stop the gap of unemployment In this work they are proving the truth of the teach ings ot Christian Science. Know ing the truth of substance and living It the law of supply, the law of addition, does work for all tbe abundance of good. THE ADVANTAGE OF EFFECTUAL PRAYER This true knowing that makes God available comes from the un derstanding of the real nature of prayer which Mary Baker Eddy has given te the world today. Not a prayer of supplication and in forming God what to do. hut a prayer of realization that knows what God has for ns and what He does for us. Mrs. Eddy was a woman of prayer. Her household waa a honse ot prayer; so iet us ponder the subject of prayer from which th record was made Includes 8 passenger closed cars exceeding a 81500 list price and the same Terra plane eight sedan today (Thursday) will attempt to break all existing STANDING START records which will provide official A.

The prayer of a Christian Scien tist, then, is more than that of supplication or petition. It is more than saying you haven't a headache and you know it. Prayer is entering into the closet of divine Mind and shutting the door on material sense. This is in accord with Jesus' Instructions to his dis ciples on prayer. Prayer is it not a spiritual process; this gaining the ear of God? a mental action, whereby we enter Into the awareness of God's presence? To do this means obedience to the rules given us tor our dally living, for our dally deeds. Working thus, in constant obedience to the divine laws given us in the Bible and in "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures" we cannot tail to see the light that will give us guidance, love. Thus we gain the wisdom which makes inevitable the cor rect solution of every human prob lem. Mary Baker Eddy shows us how we may come Into actual touch with God's presence and have audience with Him. It is through prayer and the understanding ol what real goodness Is that we ar rive at this consciousness of God given dominion. As Jesus said in that wonderful prayer in the sev enteenth chapter of John in which he prayed, "O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee be fore the world was." Science and Health says (p. 15), "Lips must be mute and materialism silent, that man may have audience with Spirit the divine Principle, Love, which destroys all error." Again Science and Health says (p. 89), "Spirit, God. is heard when the senses are silent." We reach God through spiritual consciousness, through glorified thought The right kind of thought, which is true prayer, leads us to our Father-Mother, God. And bo what more definite pro cedure could there be, to attain spirituality, than to set about to find God through learning- to pray aright? that Is, to have thought dwell In His presence in silent pray er until we assimilate spiritual na ture, bringing out in action only the qualities of our source, God? Prayer Is not the striving of the human mind, a prayer that is not just the repetition of the arguments of Truth, bnt a prayer in which all human selfhood is so surrendered that the divine Life itself Is made manifest In righteous action; a prayer In which revelation takes place. Through such prayer wo gain the grace of God which heals and which changes our natures. This silent communion with divine Mind is vital; it is a paramount factor in our salvation. Therein lies the vic tory over rhortal circumstances and dominion over materialism. The lack of confidence in the pow er of prayer is due, no doubt, to the unwillingness of the human mind to endure the mental discipline needed for the fulfillment of God's purpose. There Is a certain human resistance to all that Is spiritual, and this resistance makes It difficult sometimes to pray. Affairs obtrude, persons, situations, events, flood the mind. Lack of time Is argued, inability to comprehend spiritual things, all hinder In our efforts to talk with God. Hence the discipline required for taking time to con quer this error. Intruding and dis tracting thoughts may not be easily frustrated. The incoming truth stirs mortal elements, sometimes bringing out the dregs-i-lrrltahillty, restlessness, and discontent. These effects, however, are simply due to the fumes of dissolving beliefs, and they vrill sooner or later disappear. As the spirit of true prayer it reached, all mesmerism Is dissolved, for fiptrit dissipates the magnetism of material things. PRATER MUST BE LIVED For example, let us study the ex perience of Jacob. Disciplined by difficulties, he wrestled all night, and when the vision came he held to It; he held steadfastly to It until "the breaking of day," that is, until his nature was transformed. 8o it is with Christian Scientists. As we enter the spiritual realm of purs Mind, we feel the joy and gratitude of knowing Life, Truth, and Love, and from this vantage ground wa affirm with the conviction and cer titude of understanding the facta taught in Christian Science health, wholeness, life, abundance. Spiritual understanding cannot be increased merely by expounding. We have to live our way to higher perception. That Is why mere aca demics In all the centuries have not attained what the fisherman disci ples gained . comparatively at a bound. Not acumen, but spiritual living, clears the thought. "Man'a moral mercury, rising or falling, registers his healing ability" (Sci ence and Health, p. 449). Work, carved Into deeds, gives results. Life, scientifically ordered according to Principle, will result In the wonderful power by which the fishermen's boat was transport ed across the lake. A life ordered by Spirit forwards the spiritual new birth, and ascension from scale to scale follows. We must remember that actlv participation In good la understand ing. But confusion of our thought manifests Itself In confusion. All sin. dishonesty, selfishness, malice, envy are manlfestatlona of Igno rance. Good deeds bring good re sults. Let us be In line. In active participation with the operations of divine Mind: and If we are faithful we can express the divine Mind. It is Impossible to understand Truth until we have the courago to live It. Christian Science came through firayer and only prayer can carry t on. Prayer In Christian Science Illumines thought: It "lights the torch of spiritual understanding" (Science and Health, p. 202). Under the brightness of this light, mortal mind is lifted above Its own false conceptions. Then the divine Mind with its order possesses conscious ness, and its Ideas take form to human sense as answered need. nd so right thinking externalizes Itself in right conditions. Every time the light of Troth shines Into our consciousness re vealing the fact of God's allness and man's perfection, we catch a glimpse of the troth Mary Baker Eddy dis covered: every time a healing takes place there Is enjoyed the blessing which Mary Baker Eddy brought to humanity. Do not honesty and gra titude compel recognition of the debt to a discoverer of this boon to mankind? A right estimate of a revelation of so great salvation Is a test of Intelligence. Note how the great Way-shower tested the Intel ligence of his disciples by examin ing their estimate of himself. "Whom say ye that I am?" Kven so today humanity's intelligent grasp of the truth Is tested by Its thoughts of Mrs. Eddy, through whom the Christ-healing has come today and through whom a more widespread Interest In God Is being manifested. Through her teachings has come a renaissance In this study of the Holy Scriptures, aa evidenced In the phenomenal Increase in the sale of Bibles.
