TEN MEDFOHD MAIL-TRIBUNE Wednaaday, Not. 7, 1945 DISHARGE SNAFU DENIED BY NAVY AT TREASURE ISLE Reports of Inefficiency Is Countered by Officer in Charge; 88,167 Go Home San Francisco, Nov. 7 (U.R) Reports of "slackness" In tunnel ing tiomcbound sailors through the Treasure Island naval re ceiving station were denied to day by the navy. Naval officers pointed to a record of nearly 3,000 men be ing sent daily to discharge cen ters throughout the country. Rumors and reports by indi vidual enlisted men circulated in San Francisco that Treasure Island, biggest navy veteran in take center on the west coast, was a "concentration camp on the doorstep to home" and that sailors couldn't get home be cause of "navy inefficiency." 12-Day Delay A chief machinist's mate from Boston, Mass., who declined to reveal his name, charged he and a group of 200 men in the Boston draft were kept for 12 days de spite a navy promise to speed them within 72 hours after their arrival aboard the battleship Colorado of the Third fleet. These charges were countered by Lt. (SG) Robert Craig (USN), officer in charge of the receiv ing station. Craig, a veteran of 25 years of navy service who came up through the ranks, told the Unit ed Press that "some men were delayed naturally. I know how these who are held up by ball- ups feel, but fortunately iney aren't the majority." 88,167 Discharged He reported that this station. built on the site of the 1939 Golden State exposition and still using many of the fair's large buildings, had turned out 88,- 167 men since it began its oper ation of returning homebound sailors two months ago. The station, Craig s records showed, gets approximately 3,000 men a day from aboard ships docking in San Francisco Bay. Craig said a returning sailor, destined for a discharge center, could be processed through Treasure Island in a minimum of 12 hours, which allowed for normal paper work, issuance of new clothing, obtaining trans portation and identifying and tracing baggage. 'The average Is about 48 hours," he said, "and it some- LECTURE GIVEN BY Enjoy good tes? Try this le of finer quality and flavor.

A lecture on Christian Science, entitled "Christian Science A Religion of Answered Prayer,' was given last night at the Holly theater by Arthur C. Whitney, C.S., of Chicago, 111., member of thethe Board of Lectureship of the Board of Lectureship of Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The lecturer spoke substan tially as follows: It is natural for you who come here in need of healing to find it during this hour, whether it is relief from fear, frustration, loss, hate, depression, lack, sin, or disease. How can you be heal ed? By your simple act of accept ing and knowing the Bible truths about God and man. You can also be healed by earnestly read ing and studying the lecture. Let me tell you of a healing that took place during a lecture a short time ago. At the close of one lecture, a man came up to me and put out his hand. I gave him mine and ho really took it. I haven't had a hand shake like that since I was in college, and you remember how we used to do it there. He looked me right in the eye. He had a twinkle in his eye. He said, "I did that purposely." Well, it didn't make any sense to me at that point. But then he went on to say: "When I came in here tonight, I came in with a useless and helpless right arm and hand. I just wanted you to see and feel what the power of God did for me during this hour." He raised his hand and arm over his head and he said: "Do you see that? I can't remember when I've been able to do that." Living in lhe Divine Presence Christian Science teaches you to pray simply by just knowing the truth by just realizing, as the Bible teaches, that the divine presence Is right here now. You pray, too, when you expel the times runs to three days due to the impossibility of obtaining transportation. Cara Lacking "The arrival of the Third fleet was a good example. There were more men than we anticipated and although we mustered ev ery available piece of railroad stock we couldn't get them all out. "That's what happened to the Boston draft. I know about that one. That's one reason why the railroads ask us for 120-hour advance notice of our passenger requirements," he said. finish thttam et's finishjj0 CtCf WiCiORY BONDS Yes, buy Victory Bonds. ..to pay the cost of guarding Germany and Japan... to provide benefits for our veterans... to care for the wounded and disabled... TO FINISH OUR JOB! I D ) If? 0 0 Hi belief from your thinking that there is any other or opposite presence. You can know that wherever your boy or other boys may be tonight, that right there is the presence of God, in finite spiritual consciousness, the realm of the actual and real. Know that they live, move, and have their existence in God, and God alone. Reject the mental concept that would see them in a.mwterial realm of war, danger, destruction, and death. Repu diate such a concept as a coun terfeit belief of the carnal mind. In like manner, become con scious that all the power that exists is divine, spiritual, good is God. That you, your boy, and other boys are subject alone to that power "which protects, guards, sustains, and heals; for each one lives, moves, and has his existence in the realm of the spiritual, the divine, the real, the actual, not the mortal, the material, the apparent, and un real. You live in God now and ternally. God is eternal Life, and God is your eternal Life. To know it is to pray, and to know or be conscious of the truth is to be made free from its opposing beliefs. The important thing, though, is to know it. Jesus didn't say that you could be made free by hearing the truth or by reading the truth, but, of course, it is a good plan to hear and to read, then you have something to know. But the vital thing is to know the truth. To have a conviction that it is true and real and actual, here and now to be at peace in that con- sciousness. Tha Christ Raises tha Dead Today Jesus gave us a promise. Think of this, too, as a promise made to you individually. He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you He that believeth on me (that is, he that believeth the Christ, the Truth), the works that I do shall he do also." That is a promise. No promise of the Master ever failed. Let me tell you of a modern fulfillment of that promise Some years ago, a nine-year-old boy was playing on the roof of a three-story apartment build ing. He was up there with some other boys. He tried to jump to we root of the adjoining build Ing, just a few feet away, but his legs just weren t long enough He landed on a concrete pave ment. Bystanders picked him up ana rushed him to a hospital. The hospital authorities phoned his home. They said: "Your Doy met with an accident. He has just been brought into our hos pital. We've examined him. He's dead." At that moment in that home were two earnest Chris tian Scientists who believed the truth, who had a conviction of the Christ. They repudiated the picture presented as a counter feit belief of the carnal mind. They held to the spiritual facts of the presence of eternal Life, and man living eternally and unchangeably in that Drescnce in that eternal Life. One of them called a Christian Science prac titioner ana asked that the con sciousness of the eternalitv of that boy's life be upheld. Think of that. She didn't ask that he be raised from the dead, no She asked that the consciousness of the eternal ity of that boy's life be upheld. Thats knowing the truth. That is the prayer of spiritual understanding. A little while later that day, the hos pital authorities discovered that boy breathing again. There was no explanation they could offer. Prayer In Christian Science was continued, and three days later that boy regained consciousness. Now, I say to you just what I want to read to you from the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible. Paul said this to King Agrippa. and I say it to you: "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?" It should not. When Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth," he said it would make you free, and he put no limita tions whatever upon what it would free you from. It frees you from whatever is unlike God. The other evening a man said to me after hearing that exper ience, "But where is that boy today?" It seemed to me that I sensed a little skepticism in his voice and thought. It was really thrilling to Joyously an swer, "He's in active service in the United States Navy."

Every Day Is Bargain Day at Acmi Main k Grap Phona S976 SPEAKS NEXTTO KNIFE, FORK CLUB Merryle Stanley Rukeyser, noted economist and economic commentator, whose syndicated column appears in the New York Journal American, and other newspapers from coast to coast will be featured speaker at the Rogue River Valley Knife and Fork club on Friday, Nov. 18. In evaluating economic and political ideas, Mr. Rukeyser, who Is the author of "Financial Security in a Changing World" and five other books, has intro duced the technique of the "audit." Thus, in debating on coast to coast radio forums with socialists, trade union econo mists, and professional critics of business, he has, in effect, exam ined the credentials of the crit ics, and determined their fitness to set themselves up as judges. As a next step, he has tested their ideas by relating them to basic factual material developed by independent research. Seas Bayond Fog With a gift for peering beyond the fog of words, Mr. Rukeyser deals with genuine realities, and relates his generalized discus sions to the problems, hopes and fears of his fellow Americans. He has a strong conviction that the American enterprise system is progressive and is capable of evolutionary improvement. He regards Marxian trends as re actionary, and harrrjful to the masses when they are ostcnisbly intended to benefit. Using the analogy of the world of finance, Mr. Rukeyser describes as a "blue sky pros pectus" the high sounding pre tensions of politicians at home and abroad, which are unrelat ed to their real purposes.
