OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1941. page nvi 1 E LECTURE IS HEARD IN HOLLY THEATER A lecture on Christian Science was delivered last evening in the Holly theatre by Frank Bell. C.S.B., of New York City, member of the Board of Lec tureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The lecture follows in part: Life Spiritual, Not Material The common belief about a man's life is that he lives with in a physical body, that his identity is located inside a ma terial structure of flesh and bones. How life got into the body, what keeps it there, how it is to get out, and where it is to go when it gets out, are subjects of much speculation and little assurance. All human ills are associated with the sense of life in the flesh. Therein man is supposed to live a precarious life and to die an inevitable death; therein are his aches and pains, his fears and disappointments, his sinful habits, devastating appe tites, illusive pleasures. The sorrows and sufferings from which mortals pray to be de livered all have to do directly or indirectly with the so-called corporeal, fleshly selfhood, in cluding that which is called the mind within the body. Christian Science, concerned with the overcoming of human ills, that the inherent Tightness of Goas creation may appear, invites men to consider the reasonable ness of the proposition that since discord is found only within the realm of physical sense, the way out of trouble lies through the taking on 01 a better sense. It is possible to do this in a perfectly natural way. To hold to the belief that man lives inside of a material body one must well-nigh ignore the fact that actual life has not been found in the body. Each of the activities within the Kdy can be truthfully described only as an effect of something else. If that something else were in side of the body it scarcely could have escaped detection by this time. The situation is illumined by such statements as this from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, page 208: "You embrace your body in your thought, and you should delin eate upon it thoughts of health, not of sickness." A moment's consideration makes it plain that we do embrace our mater ial body in our thoughts. There fore both we and our thoughts must be in fact outside of that body. One could not well be inside of that which he em braces. We contemplate our so called physical selves from without, not from within. If man does not really live in the flesh, then clearly 'e ought not to go on believing that he does. Inspired thought beckons us out of materiality. In Genesis we are assured that true man is the image and like ness of infinite Spirit. A psalm reminds us. that we shall be satisfied when we awake in God's likeness, the likeness of Spirit. Isaiah urges, "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" Jesus, commanding his followers to take no thought for the body. : S II I REGISTRY OF ALL FOR US. DEFENSE 120.000 000 who could serve in first." General Hershey said. !

Prajadhlpok, in 1935. He has some 11.000,000 subjects. declares that real life, life eter nal, is a state of mind, to know God aright. St. Paul, seeing that ''they that are in the flesh cannot please God," advises Christians to cultivate a wil lingness "to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." John, the Revelator, exnlains the possibility of be holding new heaven and new earth, not material but spiritual. through mental purification. Christian Science teaches and proves that to lift one's sense of identity and reality up out ol the flesh Into infinite Spirit promotes health and harmony. Thus Christian Science restores that which . was lost, Christian healing. Life was no mystery to Jesus. "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing," said he. The sick are healed and sinners are reformed through learning to look outside of the flesh for that true spiritual an imation which alone is capable of maintaining the universe and all that is therein. s To the Master evidently It was clear that health is pri marily a state of thought and only secondarily or incidentally a condition of body or matter. To him the sick were those "whom Satan hath bound," the Satan whom he described as "liar, and the father of it," a self-constituted lie or false sense, having "no truth" in It. Both the casting out of devils, sick, deluded beliefs, and the spiritual quickening of those who came to be healed were ac complished through the opera tion of the Mind that was in Christ Jesus, as St. Paul de scribes it. Those who were heal ed were those whose hearts were open to the regenerative influence of that mind or sense which perceived and reflected the absolute truth concerning God's creation. vilian defense, Brig-Gen. Louis B. Hershey said today. The director of selective serv ice said at a press conference it was the "number 1 project at this time" and added that of the 40.000.000 men in the na tion, about 25 per cent could eventually be made availaole to the army and navy. He outlined the panorama his organization is viewing to mobilize the whole nation in its war against the axis powers. Not All To March "I don't visualize five or six million men marching off to war." Gen. Hershey said. "But we must try to be ready through a measured approach to the problem. "There is something to be gained by registering and classi fying a broad group of people. "I believe there should be flexible authority (from con gress) to be used piecemeal, presenting the people with a broad liability for registration and a narrower liability for service. we unaouMedly are soon going to consider the registra tion of women." He estimated there were about they probably would begin soon. , Let s use what we ve got j est, Coughing Coldslg Oet relief from sU.?' distress with the improved Vlrka treatment that makes Vlcks VapoRub give mN error at sous than mi bcjmhi ACTS J WATS AT ONCB to bring relief ...penetrates to upper breathing passages with soothing medicinal vapors . . .
