MAJOR ITEM IN 1 1
SCHOOL POLICY
By JERRY O'CALLAGHAN
Education that stresses train
lug of tbe mind only la Inade
quate. To Insure that Klamath
Union high achool will hare a
well rounded education la the
purpose behind the new physical
education plant at the local hlih
achool.
An Oregon achool law requires
all students beginning with the
olasa ot 1840 to take three years
of physical education. Physical
Inability furniabea about the only
excuse for exemption.
To meet properly the demands'
of this law a physical saucauon
plant had to be built. It takes
the time of four instructors and
two gyma to handle the altuatlon
at Klamath. A total of 375 boys
are registered In these courses
and practically the aame number
of girls.
The purpose ot training, ot
course, la to develop a good body
to work in conjunction with a
aound mind. Instruction in thla
vital subject consists not only of
gym workouts but also of text
book work on hygiene and
.health. Participation in com
petitive sports la designed to give
the atudenta a good mental and
moral outlook on life.
Until two years ago only those
with ability that would rate them
positions on major athletic teams
had any opportunity to have su
pervised p h y a 1 e a 1 education.
Tbat'a all changed now. Anyone
in school can uke physical ad.
Boys who take part in major
athletics who have to also take
physical education help the In
structors In giving inexperienced
boys pointers.
The physical education plant
la divided into two branches
the girls' gym classes and the
boys' gym (lasses. Ella Redkey
heads the girls' classes and
Dwight "Dutch" French, head
baaketball coach, la the big boss
over in the boys' gym.
Mies Redkey, with Grace Brown
aa an assistant, supervises and
gives instruction In basketball,
volleyball, badminton, tap danc
ing and other gymnasium porta.
In the spring and fall awimmlng.
archery and baseball are tbe main
activities. The field between tbe
Modoc field bouse and the tennla
e o u r t a is used by the girls'
classes. Tbe girls' letter club
is planning to turf this field
next aprlng.
Outside activities, auch aa hik
ing and akiing, are encouraged
by tbe department. Gym work
outs are held twice areek.
Health and hygiene la taught
two days ot the week. The other
day is spent in the library-
Many of the activities are car
ried on after achool. - Girls who
participate in after-school aetlvi
ties are awarded letters and nu
merals. -
Basketball, boxing, wrestling
and ping-pong are some of the
sports in which boys receive In'
aiructlon. Tbe new gym has two
basketball courts, so four teams
ot boys can be playing at tbe
aame time.
On the floor level below the
gym floor Is a room that la es
pecially designed to give training
In the manly arts of self defense.
Because of construction . work,
this room will not be ready to
use until after the Thanksgiving
holidays.
Some time In the future It la
hoped that a awimmlng tank
may he built on tbe lowest floor
level. At the present time this
level Is not being used. Its alse
and other features make it an
ideal place for a tank. If a tank
can't be constructed, it la hoped
that funds will be available to
build handball courts there.
All the instructors in the
physical ed school are Oregon
trained. Ella Redkey, head of
the girls' classes, clalma Klanv
ath high and the University of
Oregon as her acbools. Before
coming up to the high school,
she taught in the local grade
achool system.
Grace Brown, Instructor In
girlB' physical education, is a
graduate of OSC.
"Dutch" French Is an ex-foot
ball star from the University of
Oregon. He is starting hla four
teenth year as a Klamath coach.
Snowy Gustafson, who la fa'
miliar to Herald-News readers aa
head football coach, halls from
Oregon State. Boxing la his spo
clal field of activity.
Klamath baa, without doubt
the finest plant in the state.
Coupled with this fine plant Is
a staff of Instructors who have
enviable records as athletic
coaches. With all these ele
ments, a fine plant and experi
enced teachers, Klamath high can
probably claim to have tbe finest
and most complete physical edu
cation plant In the state.

baa been a reduction ot accidents

Over a five-year period tbe No

The reaaona for thla aa point
ed out by the National Safety
council, are bad weather, more
hours ot darkneaa. Thanksgiving
and Christmas holidays. Sleet,
Ice, snow, fog are now making
the roada and highways danger
ous. This year mora than ever
we must olamp down on careless
drivers and pedestrians.
Most American motorlata are
now familiar with tbe carbon
monoxide haaard In closed ga
rages. But the menace ot tnia
lethal gaa to motorists is not
confined to garages, according
to the National Safety council.
It may be, literally, right under
the driver'a nose when he is out
on the open highway.
Driving drowsiness la not al
ways natural; It may be Induced
by these deadly fumes escaping
from leaka In the exhaust mani
fold and creeping up Into the
driver'a face through cracks In
the floor boards.
There are probably one mil
lion automobllea being operated
on American highways today In
which the drivers are expoaed to
aufticient quantities ot carbon
monoxide to make them physical
ly unfit to exercise prompt and
proper judgment, particularly in
cases ot emergency, according to
exhaustive atudies made recently
by a large oil company.
Reaction Time Delayed
Sufficient carbon monoxide to
impair judgment haa been dis
covered in S per cent of the cara
picked at random from atate
highways by stats police for ex
amination. Approximately halt
the vehicles tested were found
to contain measurable traces ot
deadly gas, which indicated a
fault should be corrected.
If the "drowsy" feeling result
ing from the absorption of small
concentrations ot carbon monox
ide delays the mental reaction
time of a driver traveling 50
mtlea per hour by only so much
aa one-halt aecond, bis car will
travel 37 feet during that time.
In studying tbe course of the
carbon monoxide and tbe man
ner in which It finds its way into
the passenger compartment ot
cars, it waa found that the swirl
lng eddy currents which follow
behind any but a perfectly
streamlined vehicle may, under
certain conditions, be drawn into
the body ot the ear producing It-
Several instances ot this - type
were found.
It was also discovered that a
car following too closely behind
another, particularly in heavy
traffic, may nnder certain cir
cumstances pick up a aufticient
quantity of the exhaust gaa from
the preceding car to result In a
dangerous mixture within the
second car.
Routine Checks Needed
Leaky gaaketa in the exhaust
manifold and tbe various connec
tions between It and the muffler
Itself result in the discharge ot
exhaust gases under the hood or
floor boards of the car. Unless
the entire body construction, in
cluding tbe floor boards and
bulkhead, la absolutely air tight.
the vitiated air under tbe hood
of the car will filter Into tbe
body or paasenger compartment.
Loose pistons and leaking piston
rings permit products of com
bustion to blow by the cylinders
into tbe crankcase.
"Preventive maintenance" la
recommended aa the only effec
tive means of minimizing the
danger ot carbon monoxide in
highway accidents. Motorists
should have periodical routine
ebecka made and Ignition and
carburetlon systems should be
frequently adjuated.
"The police department of
Klamath Falls greatly appreciates
the efforta of the junior chamber
ot commerce in promoting safety

quests all car operators to avail
themselves of the opportunity to
have their cars tested for safety
factors during thla week.

How much time can be gained

Consider! Is it worth taking

Paul's reference to "the mystery
of godliness" and "the mystery of
Christ" has caused many to suppose
that the knowledge ot Ood must be
hidden, or, at least, of a phenomenal
nature. However, we need not doubt
that for Ood, divine intelligence It
self, there cannot be any mystery
about supremo Being. Intelligence,
to be worthy ot the name, must be
directly, continuously, and Intelli
gently conscious of itself, and thereby
self-explanatory. Then, Christ and
godliness can only be a mystery to
something wholly foreign to Qod's
own nature. Godliness and Christ
must be a mystery to the material
sense 'testimony, "the carnal mind"
to which the Mara Hill orator refers
as "enmity against Ood." Conse
quently, that which is opposing the
divine nature is not In a position to
explain the divine nature! When it
attempts to do it, the results must
necessarily be both confused and
confusing.
This accounts for much of the mis
apprehension with which the con
cept ot Christ In the Christian re
ligion has been surrounded. It has
led to scholastic theology with Its
widespread opinion that Christ Is
a synonym for the personal Jesus.
Supposing Jesus to be Christ and
Christ to be God. has made many
cling to the belief that Jesus Is God.
Finally, the opinion seems prevalent
that the Master's works were mira
clesphenomenal exhibitions of ex
traordinary power.
Interpretation should be given the
utmost care. This Is evident for the
common things of dally life. Looking
at objects through a fog may make
them appear hazy and out of propor
tion, perhaps unsightly. However,
looking through one of the modem
convex show windows gives the Im
pression that one can touch the ob
jects exhibited, so little visual ob
struction Is offered by the glass In
fulfilling Its purpose of letting the
light shine through.
When It comes to Interpreting "the
things of Ood," the closest considera
tion should be given. Attempting to
understand "the things of Ood"
through a medium entirely foreign
to God's nature, in cotu, the material
sense testimony, Is like looking at
objects through a fog. The results
are equally unsatisfactory. Investi
gating "the things of Ood" by means
of Christian Science Is comparable
to the light shining through the mod
ern show window.
Christian Science may be denned
as the Science, or knowledge, ot
Christ, Truth. It is not based upon
any material sense testimony, but
upon the fact that divine intelligence
must be inevitably self-explanatory,
and that this knowledge must be In
'evitably available as divine manifes
tation. Herefrom the deduction may
be made that the more correctly one
lives Christian Science, the better
one becomes conscious of existence
as it divinely is; and conversely, the
less one is subject to the distorting
medium of the material senses
' through which so many have vainly
attempted to find the explanation
of existence. In fact, one of the syn
onymous terms used for Christian
Science by its Discoverer and
Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, is Di
vine Science, or knowledge of Divin
ity, Ood. The knowledge of Ood,
ideally, is God's knowledge. This
ideal is attained In Christian Science
In the measure one permits a human,
personal, mediatory sense of trying
to know the Divine to be exchanged
for divine intelligence expressing it
self and identifying Itself as Its own
expression.
For this reason, Christian Science
is bound to present a correct knowl
edge and analysis of Christ the
cornerstone of Christianity. The Sci
ence of Christ shows forth Christ's
different aspects or offices which,
nevertheless, constitute one har
monious whole, being lndlvlslbly one
though multifarious In functloa
In reading the four Gospels, It Is
noteworthy that Jesus of Nazareth
spoke very rarely about himself as
the Christ, although he unhesitat
ingly and emphatically acknowl
edged this fact on special occasions,
for Instance, to Peter, the woman of
Samaria, and the high priest. Char
acteristic of his wisdom, Jesus
charged his disciples "to tell no man
that thing." He saw that the unen
lightened thought could not differen
tiate between his human appearance
and the divine idea, or Christ. Ac
cordingly, Jesus referred to himself
by preference as the Son either the
Son of man or the Son of Ood, In
agreement with his custom to speak
of Ood as his Father. How strongly
he wished to ascribe all relationship
and authority to Ood Is shown in
Matthew 23, verses 9 and 10: "And
call no man your father upon earth:
for one Is your Father, which Is In
heaven. Neither be ye called mas
ters: for one Is your Master, even
Christ."
It Is Paul who, In his epistles, fre
quently uses the word Christ; and so
does Peter. It Is used In the way of
a synonym of Jesus, and also In the
sense so well rendered by the ex
pression "the Spirit of Christ," that
Is to say, Christ as the divine na
ture or quality, rather than a human
personality. The customary view of
considering the word Christ as an
other name for Jesus has spread
ilnce the days of the New Testament
This may be seen in the headings
which have been placed In the Bibles
we use above the Gospel chapters In
order to summarize their contents.
Mary Baker Eddy distinguishes be
tween Christ and Jesus, thereby pre
venting the confusion of mixing the
:uman with the divine. It Is done by
the way of definition in "Science and
.Health with Key to the Scriptures,"
roses 583 and 589: "Cubist. The dl
v'ne manifestation of Ood, which
GENERAL CHIANG
SAID DISSATISFIED
BY BRITISH POLICY
SHANGHAI, Nov. 26 (TP) Gen-
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was
said by Chinese sources today to
have expressed dissatisfaction to
comes, to the flesh to destroy Incar
nate error." "Jssua. The highest hu
man corporeal concept ot the divine
idea, rebuking and destroying error
ana bringing to light mans im
mortality." In other words, Jesus showed forth,
In a hitherto unprecedented way,
the spiritual understanding or divine
Idea which constitutes the Christ,
In describing Jesus as "the highest
human corporeal concept of the di
vine idea," Mrs. Eddy discerned that
hla biography, as portrayed in the
four Gospels, waa the Impression that
the Christ, or the divine manifesta
tion which Identified Jesus, made
upon oon temporary human thought.
In her book "No and Yes" (p. 36) she
states: "Mankind's concept of Jesus
was a babe born in a manger, even
while the divine and ideal Christ was
the Son of Ood. spiritual and eternal
In human conception God's offspring
had to grow, develop; but In Science
his divine nature and manhood were
forever complete, and dwelt forever
In the Father."
Aa we become well aware of this,
the Gospels show forth additional
light, and become of greater practi
cal import. Seeing that Christ Is the
Bon, or divine manifestation, of Ood,
one receives a more enduring, bet
ter available, and logical concept ot
Christ than identifying Christ exclu
sively with the personal Jesus. One Is
also Impressed by the fact of how
clearly Christ Jesus discerned this;
and how great was the endeavor to
demonstrate It in behalf of his fol
lowers. His Instructions to this end
were along two definite Unas. In the
first place, he showed to the receptive
thought the truth or Christ, con
cerning himself. In the second place,
he emphasized the fact that the
works which he did could be done
also by others; all having equal
possibilities for performing the works
of the eternal Christ.
In the first instance, Jesus suc
ceeded during his unique career. The
Impression made upon those around
him, as evidenced In the Gospel biog
raphies, was so far removed from
human personality that hardly a sin
gle detail regarding his outward ap
pearance Is to be found In the Bible.
It would be well for the modern
faithful follower of the Way-shower
to make the aame Impersonal Im
pression upon his environment!
One can easily comprehend Christ
Jesus' joy when Peter gave unmis
takable proof of understanding his
Teacher's real nature by declaring:
"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living Ood." Here was an assurance
that Jesus' mission had not been In
vain. At least those closest to him
had understood him to this extent.
Warmly the reply came: "Blessed art
thou. Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and
blood hath not revealed It unto thee,
but my Father which Is In heaven."
Greater was the difficulty encoun
tered by Christ Jesus, however. In ex
plaining to his followers that his
works were not exceptional. In the
sense that he alone could perform
them, and no one else. Although he
had declared. "He that believe th on
me, the works that I do shall he do
also: and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto my
Father," it was not until his going
to his Father, that is. until his
higher demonstration of Oodllke
sess, termed the ascension, that they
could better understand him. Then
they were able to perceive a fuller
meaning of his life and message, as
well as their own capabilities to do
the works he had done. Until then
they had been hampered by their be
lief that the Christ could be limited
to an earthly personality.
When Christ Jesus had proved to
their satisfaction the truth of his
teachings in rising above a personal
sense concerning himself, the full
orbed glory of his life began to dawn
upon the consciousness of the dis
ciples. The author of Science and
Health states It pointedly in these
words (p. 34) : "His resurrection was
also their resurrection. It helped them
to raise themselves and others from
spiritual dulness and blind belief in
God into the perception of infinite
possibilities." Now they became con
scious of the Christ-message I Mark
relates It, "Co ye Into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every crea
ture. . . . And these signs shall fol
low them that believe; In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues; they shall
take up serpents: and if they drink
any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the
sick, and they shall recover." The
message struck home; It is also re
corded by Mark that "they went
forth, and preached every where, the
Lord working with them, and con
firming the word with signs follow
ing." "The Lord" In this connection
means the spiritual understanding
ot God, which understanding Is the
ever-present Christ.
Jesus' life showed forth the opera
tion of divine Principle, as far as hu
man mentality in those days could
perceive It, The more vivid and dis
tinct the operation of Principle, the
more enlightened human mentality
appears to be. This enlightenment
completed may be called salvation,
in the sense it Is taken In Christian
Science (Science and Health, p. 593) :
"Salvation. Life, Truth, and Love
understood and demonstrated as su
preme over all; sin, sickness, and
death destroyed." As. each one Is
distinct from all others, the way
Jesus attained his salvation was defi
nitely his own; but as our Way
shower, his example Is of universal
significance. The increased spiritual
understanding culminating in his
salvation showed forth two phases:
his resurrection and his ascension.
Resurrection and ascension, In one
form or another, must be the experi
ence of everyone who has begun to
see something of the divine reality.
Indeed, resurrection and ascension
are the gradual and final falling
away of material limitations, of a
personal sense of existence, of every
belief attempting to place Itself be
tween Principle and Its Immediate
expression. Resurrection and ascen
sion are a normal and necessary de
velopment, beginning to take place
from the moment one becomes aware
that there Is something divine about
himself.
Christian Science considers this
mental resurrection neither mysteri
ous nor eccentric; on the contrary,
resurrection is the "spirltuallzatlon
of thought; a new and higher Idea of
immortality, or spiritual existence:
material belief yielding to spiritual
tbe British ambassador over Great
Britain's far eastern policies and
to have hinted strongly tho time
for a showdown had arrived,
This was disclosed as ths Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Archibald
Clark Kerr, returned to Shanghai
from a conference with Chiang
"somewhere In Hunan" province.
Informed quarters said the confer
understanding'' (IMA., p. 893). There
Is nothing weird or exceptional about
tills I It is an educational unfold
ment which Christian Science la ex
tending to all.
Human education, as everything
human. Is extremely personal. It
tnkes the human personality as Its
self-evident basis, and It believes
that all attainment Is a personal at
tainment. Aa a result of this, the av
erage newcamer In Christian Science
undertakes Its study from that per
sonal angle, His motive for study Is
for personal Improvement, either In
health or In harmony. For the be
ginner, this Is perfectly legitimate;
one can hardly expect otherwise.
Studying and advancing farther In
Science, one learns the true nature
of one's self, his Christ-selfhood. One
begins to grasp what man divinely
Is: "the compound Idea of Infinite
8plrlt; the spiritual Image and like
ness of God: the full representation
of Mind" (Ibid., p. 591). Then It Is
seen better than before that obedi
ence to the First Commandment of
Christianity la not only to recognise
that there Is one God, or divine
Mind, but also that man has not a
personal mind of his own, since he
Is the idea of Ood the manifesta
tion of divine Mind.
Let It be stated here most emphat
ically that "Idea" is not a human per
son, or human mind understand
ing something about Ood. This
would imply two minds, the Mind
which Is Ood, and a suppositional
mind of a person. Accepting such
a suggestion would virtually be devi
ating from monotheism, the basis
and cornerstone of Christianity, The
point made here may perhaps seem
slight at first; but it grows In prac
tical value when progressing In the
knowledge of Christian Science. Con
tinually thinking of oneself as a
human person endeavoring to grasp
or to realise divine Ideas, leaves one
In an unsatisfactory state of thought.
One remains In that mental realm
where good and evil clash, and where
almost every attainment Involves a
laborious struggle with much uncer
tainty about final success.
As In the case ot Jesus, resurrec
tion Is necessarily to be followed by
ascension. While In the mental state
ot resurrection, the Nazarene, sus
taining an aloofness from material
sense when It seemed to approach,
said: "Touch me not; for I am not
yet ascended to my Father." How
ever, Jesus made a concession to the
doubting Thomas by allowing him
to touch that which appeared to
Thomas as Jesus' side. At this stage
of spiritual development; personal
sense had been silenced. In that
Christ Jesus had become Immune to
tbe thrusts ot mortal suggestions!
Here Jesus has given a priceless
example, worth while to be pondered
and followed. The resurrection, or
"spirltuallzatlon of thought," makes
one aware of the Christ, or truth con
cerning existence. However. It does
not entirely change one's mental at
titude about oneself as a human per
son. This takes place when one Is
entering upon his ascension; when It
becomes clear that one must not con
sider oneself any more a human per
son trying to attain Ideas, but that
one Is, In his real being, the divine
Idea Itself. From this moment a re
markable release from personal limi
tations occurs. Less struggle, greater
dominion, enlarged freedom. In
creased harmony, more genuine hap
piness are experienced, until finally
divine Being Is subjectively reflected
an one's glorious selfhood In the nat
uralness of boundless spiritual bliss.
In her book "Miscellaneous Writ
ings" (pp. 124, 125), Mrs. Eddy speaks
of man's spiritual progress, and how
because of It, he can rise Into the
knowledge of the unreality of sin
and suffering, and the reality of that
which Is right. She continues to re
late how by this knowledge the
world, the flesh, and all evil are be
ing overcome; and that dominion
over a sinful sense of self Is at
tained. Therefore of man, redeemed,
radiant, and renewed In knowledge.
Mrs. Eddy tells us that he shall
"drink anew Christ's cup, In the
kingdom of Ood the reign of right
eousness within him." Thus, thst
which from a human point of view
would seem to be the Master's cup is
discerned anew In Christian Bctence
from the Impersonal point of view
as Christ's cup. This spiritual cup
or growth In splritual-mlndedness Is
our newness of being. It means the
disappearance of the unreal because
of the progressive appearance of the
real the Christ Idea, the Inde
structible male and female idea,
man, now and forever here.
The method utilized 'to this end
Is called prayer or treatment In
Christian Science. In a state of men
tality that personalizes Ood and
man, prayer is merely a form of peti
tion. When man Is considered to be
too sinful to approach Ood directly,
a mediator must be procured, and
the petition addressed to this media
tor. Hence the conviction of many
that It Is necessary to believe In
Jesus as a personal mediator In order
to be saved. In this line of belief,
prayer Is supposed to be a means to
move God to do something or not
to do something which otherwise
could not be accomplished. These
beliefs are plainly predicated upon
looking at existence through the ma
terial sense testimony, whereby the
Infinity of divine Mind is misinter
preted Into a multitude of personal,
finite so-called minds. ,
In Christian Science, treatment Is
not petition. Fundamentally and ul
timately it may be described as the
affirmation of the truth concerning
God, who Is manifested as man or
divine Idea. When necessary, this
has to be followed up by the denial
of every assertion claiming to be
not in accordance with the perfec
tion, completeness, harmony which
characterize Deity. The affirmation
of the truth, although appearing to
be the declaration or thought of a
human person, is really Truth ex
pressing Itself. Conversely, it Is not
Truth denying erroneous beliefs or
conditions, since In the all-inclusive
infinity of Truth there is no error.
Then all error, when denied, is self
denied, and It is doing this when
it becomes Informed about its own
mythical nature end unreality. God
is oil Is the scientific and effectual
mandate of Truth to error, regard
less of Its supposititious phases and
forms.
"If mortal mind knew how to be
better, It would be better" (Science
ence might be the turning point
In Anglo-Chinese relations.
Sir Archibald declined to dis
cuss his talks with tho general
issimo other than to say Chiang
was "wolli fit and optimistic."
Chinese sources said, howovor,
Chiang tola ine amnssnadnr Brit
ain hart failed to carry on the tra
and Health, p. 160). One of ths func
tions of Christian Solenoe treatment
is to Inform mortal mind or a false
mental concept believing In sensation
In matter and appearing In the guise
of a person how to be hotter. The
way to do It Is to, first, realise tha
omnipotence, omnipresence, and om
nlsolencs ot perfection. And from
.this allnesa of perfection let ths
affirmations, and whatever necessary
denials, reduce that which claims to
be a person with a belief of illness
or lnnarmony, to a belief without
any Identity. This la followed up by
Informing ths belief that It la only a
finite, imperfect concept about that
which exists In uninterrupted har
mony and divine perfection. There
fore, there need be no fear on tha
part of the belief to give Itself up
a fear which often retards the heal
ing. A more vivid and direct appre
hension of that which Is divinely
going on appears in human experi
ence as the healing of the belief
that l, iu self-snnlhllstlon.
Now that which is divinely going
on Is the very presence of Ood, good,
Life, Truth, divine Infinite Lovs
meeting the human need by remain
ing divine and infinite, to the utter
dispelling of error. Thus we see that
the healing Is accomplished because
Of God, Infinite, all-encompassing
Love, and IU divine manifestation,
the Christ, precluding error from
having any suggested reality or
Identity,
Spirit and matter, good and evil,
Life and death, Love and hatred,
have nothing in common. There Is
no agreement nor meeting place in
that real state of consciousness,
called man. This man means that
which everyone here in this audience
actually is In the light of Christian
Science. Christian Science treat
ment Is operative for Just this pur
pose, to confirm and affirm your di
vine status, and to deny and wlps
out the misstatements about man
which may have obscured your
health and happiness.
What a manifest comfort, then, for
one to know that the Christ-method
of treatment constituting the all
embracing activity ot Infinite Love,
Ood, Life, Truth means that there
Is nothing but Itself In operation to
heal humanity's discords I What a
quickening sense of satisfaction to
become aware of the forever fact that
there Is, In reality, not even a sup
position of error to Infringe upon
Ood's over-presence and allnesil
In corroboration of this fact, I
shall read a few lines from the Chris
tian Science textbook (p. 603): "In
the universe of Truth, matter Is un
known. No supposition of error en
ters there. Divine Science, the Word
of Ood, smith to the darkness upon
the face ot error, 'Ood Is All-in-all,'
and ths light of ever-present Love
illumines the universe."
Here I reiterate that tha allness of
Ood, ever-present Love, Is the basis
of all treatment, whether It be a
treatment for one who asks help In
what might be termed a personal
need, or whether It be a treatment
for the world In general. The practi
cal fact Is that the light of ever
present Love illumines the universe
by our being that light as a vivid
manifestation of divine Love, the
very presence of Love to every situa
tion, to every seeming sickness, sor
row, discord, and untoward circum
stance. Since Christian Science teaches us
that the human or mortal mind, and
Its objectlvatlon of thought, called
matter, Is excluded both as a preven
tive and healing factor, we can pre
vent and heal humanity's troubles
only by actually manifesting Ood,
Life. Truth, Love Itself. Manifesting
Ood Is not an arduous task: It Is not
a human thought process. It Is sim
plicity Itself, because It Isihe natural
expression of Truth. It Is wholly a
divine activity.
That which constitutes ths divine
does not need to change its nature
and become human In order to ac
complish the Christ-healing, and si
lence the human discordant sugges
tions claiming Identification aa man.
Truth cannot change Into error or
stoop to error's material evidence,
because Truth must remain Truth,
with Its all-embracing Christ-power;
hereby Is extinguished every belief
in matter, sin, disease, and death
everything which Is unlike Truth.
Human Illustrations are Inade
quate for the clarification of spirit
ual facts. However, let us Uke one

stancethat of showing how ess-n-tlal

According to physical observation,
we see that a lighthouse must con
tinually remain full of light In order
to serve Its purpose. Unaware of
darkness and dashing waves, the
light never changes or alters from re
maining a light for the mariners. It
must do so because It has no mission
other than to be a light, clearly and
uninterruptedly. Many a seafarer's
troubles have been lessened simply
by the lighthouse unfailingly an
swering Its purpose.
Such an illustration points to ths
steadfastness of consciousness, un
swervingly manifesting good or Ood,
The fabulous waves of error cannot
change, disturb, or bedim the light of
that consciousness which Is funda
mentala power so unalterable, so
divine, that nothing but the divine Is
really going on when a Christian Sci
ence treatment Is fulfilling Its activ
ity. In this activity, more of the di
vine Is appearing, and thereby error
Is disappearing, regardless of its for
midable pretensions. The function
of the treatment Is to exclude every
suggestion which might try to Inter
fere with the constant, conscious ex
pression ot Ood as Idea, or man. In
this way, the treatment atones. ,
Atonement has been a thorny sub
ject for scholastic theology. In Chris
tian Science, It becomes beautifully
simple. It means at-one-ment, or
identification with that which Is di
vine. According to scholastic theol
ogy, one hss to give up all for Christ,
In the sense that one Is depriving
oneself of something worth while. In
ChristlaAgyence, one gives up all for
Christ In We sense that one Is being
liberated from everything which
does not belong to man's Godlike na
ture. And thus one gains all through
Christ, or Truth, which shows that
mjh Is the manifestation of divinity.
To atone for sins Is to give up sin

Following the Way-shower's pre
eepts, we take part In ths Eucharist,
When Jesus said, "Take, eat; this Is
my body," and handed a morsel of
breed to his disciples, he was symbol
ically addressing himself to the re
oeptlva thought ot hla day and of
all time to come. Inviting It to par
take of his nature, which constituted
hla true body, or divine Identity,
When ws hers tonight are willing
to drop a personal, human, mortal
sense about ourselves, when wt are
prepared to consider our under
standing of Ood aa our very selfhood
or Identity, we also are taking part
In ths Eucharist. Thus ws are com
memorating Christ Jesus In ths only
true and worthy manner, Thus we
become Increasingly Ohrlatllke In
thought and deed. Thus our oon
sclous realization of divine good con
stitutes the healing Christ to every
form of error, Thus ths bread
"which oometh down from heaven"
becomes Individually exemplified.
In this way of true sclsntlflo real
isation, one ever mors clearly dis
cerns that Jesus' works were not
miraculous. They were consistently
exemplifying the liberation which la
brought about when naturally ex
pressing tha Christ, or Truth. Lib
eration from what? From ths mats
rial, personal, human sense of sxlst
enco. All true existence being divine,
the troubles of the world are In a
wrong setus of existence. The way
humanity as a whole Is cognising
existence Is faulty. Ths belief that
one has a personal, restricted mind
with which to apprehend all that is,
constitutes ths main difficulty. The
only way to be conscious ot the per
fect, harmonious, satisfying, and
happlfylng divine reality Is from ths
standpoint of divine reality, or di
vine Mlad, and through divine Mind.
The need, then. Is not In upholding
a personal mind by trying to Im
prove It, but by gradually and mors
and mora understanding refusing
to identify oneself with a personal
sense of mind.
This change of concept, which
Christian Science explains and
brings about, means liberation from
all sorts of restrictions and imper
fections. In ths works of ths Nasa
rene, one may detect Its modus ope
randi. One finds thst he consistently
dissociated man as manifestation
ot Mind from a "devil" or "unclean
spirit," that Is, from the human con
cept of man, with Its accompanying
evils and Infirmities. Thus he mad
the human mind relinquish Itself by
charging tha "devil" or "unclean
spirit" to depart Thla was accom
plished by divine authority and law
the power of his understanding,
through his unswerving Identifica
tion with the Divine. Healing the
sick, raising ths dead, reforming ths
sinner, feeding the multitudes, are
all results of ths same Christ
method. Jesus' disciples and followers
practiced thla method with obvious
success. It waa natural to them, be
cause they were sufficiently spirit-ually-rrilnded
to understand It. Later
on, however, medieval theology
plunged Christianity back Into the
personal sense of Ood snd msn
which pervades most of the Old Tes
tament. And so, Christian healing
began to decrease and finally stopped
almost altogether. By way of ex
cuse a doctrine was formulated. Doc
trines always Impress the nonthink
ing! This doctrine declared that Ood
In His Inscrutable wisdom had ex
tended the healing power to Uis
Nazarene and hla Immediate follow
ers aa a special dispensation, but
that for some reason or other this
dispensation had been subsequently
ended. Nobody could or can tell ths
reason why, because there Is no rea
son for Itl "Ths Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, nei
ther shadow of turning," cannot do
otherwise than be and express His
own glorious, sll-lncluslve, Infinite,
omnipotent Self. Every state of
thought which becomes aware of thla
Christ-fact receives Its healing bless
ing. It Is never divine Principle
which has to change; it Is always the
density of personal, material sense
which has to disappear.
In the course of later centuries, ths
density of thought lessened. As a
result of this. Protestantism was
born in Western Europe, whereby
the mediation of a human priest
was exchanged for the belief In
Jesus as a personal Saviour a step
forward, no doubt. Ths final devel
opment came not In Europe, but In
ths Isnd of "unlimited possibilities,"
the United States of America. Here,
a state of thought of an exceptional
nature was prevalent, Courageous,
Independent, liberty-loving people
from several parts of Europe had
settled on the eastern coast of the
American continent. They had dons
this In order to start a freer life, re
ligiously and politically. In the early
days of the American Common

people had crystallized themselves In
