OUR AIRPORT
Tliis morning's "story on
the proposed air lineof the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul railway brings into
bold relief the lamentable
condition of Klamath Falls
lis far as airport accommo
dations are concerned.
Medford has an airport;
il already has the govern
ment mail and passenger
transport service.
But if Klamath Falls had
a suitable airport, there is
no reason why the Mil
waukee line, if it material
izes, could not be swung to
this side of the mountain.
If not the Milwaukee, there
will be more and more air
lines instituted as time
passes ; it is the trend of the
times. We must prepare
for it.
. Titer? re t h r e e sites
which have been mentioned
iss possibilities for a mod
ern airport The one is the
site on the Midland road, at
present in use. This site is
well located, but would re
quire considerable work in
the way of filling and level
ing before it would be suit
able. There is the Orindale
site, adjacent to the Keno
highway. It is said that air
pockets and currents, caus
ed by the surrounding hills,
make this site a trifle dan
gerous. And there is the
McCornack site.
Our airport committee
should weigh the advan
tages of these sites, select
oi.e, and then business men,
our citv and county govern
ments, every public spirited
man and woman in Klam
ath county should work for
the speedy completion of a
gobd airdrome.
The Milwaukee may
never go through with its
plan of a Seattle-San Fran
cisco air line. But if the
Mrhvaukee doesn't, some
other concern will start an
other one. And Klamath
Falls wants to be prepared.
Scalar, we are clear out of
it. Let's get in the swim as
soon as possible. We can,
and, must.
o
VALUE OF OPPOSITION
Oppose a normal man
who is worth his salt and
yoif double his resolve. Al
most any conviction can be
changed into a cause, with
a capital "c," by means of
opposition and opression. In
short, a man hits harder
when he gets mad.
Not all men who succeed
are born successes; not all
who fail are born failures.
Many fail because they
haven't anything to stir
them up.
Roosevelt was a weakling
with asthma and bad eyes;
Upshaw of Georgia was
frightfully ,, crippled,,., but
fought his way up and went
to congress; Gore of Okla
homa was blind and yet sat
in the nennte.
Demosthenes stutt e r e d
and yet made himself the
greatest orator in Greece;
Cicero had an unpleasant
voice and an unhealthy
body, but lived to dictate
the policy of Rome; John
son dominated the literary
world of England despite
scrofula, asthma and a hide
ous face.
History is full of them
men who climbed above
their fellows despite handi
caps. Despite handicaps? No;
more probably they attained
to greatness because of their
handicaps.' There is no way
of knowing, but it is rea-i
sonable to suppose that few
of them would have climbed
so high without some handi
cap' to spur them to great
endeavor.
Poverty galls a boy and
he makes himself a million
aire; obscure birth galls
another and he makes him
self the most renowned man
of his day.
Blessed are those who
have something to make
them dissatisfied. The com
placent die unknown and I
are buried in unremember-
ed graves. :
"I had to quit school at
the age of twelve." savs the '
grim youngster, "in order to j
support my .mother and sis
ter." Well, watch out for,
him. He'll crowd somebodv !
out of a top seat
There's no way to lick a
man who thinks an obstacle
is provided by the gods to
test his metal.

expressed through man In divine
consciousness, a revelation from
God becomes a most natural ex
perience. We often hear the ex
pression, "the power of a right
idea-"- What Is -right; idea?
Whence comes it? And how is it
apprehended? As God is qultei
universally admitted to be t he
author and creator of all good,
every good or spiritual Idea must
come from God. and when a (
good or spiritual Idea is borne in
upon the consciousness o any
individual that mnst be a reve
lation of God, or from God. to
that particular Individual, wheth
er that same truth has been re-
vealed to others or not. As Jesus,
so clearly explains it in his won-
derful Sermon on the Mount,
"Tbe pure in heart . . shall !
see God." The "pure In heart'
are, of course, those who think
in terms of purity. Therefore,
those whose thoughts are dwell
ing on things good and spiritual,
or, as the Psalmist puts it, "in
the secret place of the most
High." are seeing God. All here,
then, are capable of seeing God.
or receiving a revelation direct
from God. in the proportion that
their thoughts become pure and
spiritual. As often as the truth
about God or God's kingdom is
j norne in upon your conscious
' ness Inst so ofen are you receiv
ing a revelation direct from God.
MARY BAKER EDDY
Probably the most striking ex
ample before the world today of
"the power of a right Idea." or
revelation from God. is the great
movement of Christian Science.
This movement with its many
avenues and channels for ac:om
plisbing the purpose for which it
was destined, namely, the. salva
tion of humanity from the bond
axe of sin, sickness, unhapplness.
misery, poverty, degradation, and
the like, may be said to be the
outcome of a right Idea revealed
to the consciousness of one lone,
God-fearing woman in the year j
1866. Mary B-iker ' Eddy, the
Discoverer and Founder of Chris-j
tian Science, was born and rear-1
ed among the rugged hills of .
New fc.ng.and. iter parenis were
sturdy New England folk, earnest
worshipers of God, and Mrs.
(Eddy wa-i reared in an almos

and devotion to God and right.

i was one of peculiar spirituality.
! She was not as other children.

early womanhood she was given; more of erroneous beliefs and re

And wherein lies the secret of i
IhA nhenomenal erowth of Chris-1
tian Science? There must be a, thai 1 had not been saved from
reason. The world for many cen-jany ot th thinga which men
turles had seemed content with
s religion which placed Its hope
for man's salvation In the fart
distant future. It seemed satis-
fled tn Its contemplation of a
tir-away. unknown, unknowable. 1
and unapproachable God. It was
quite content In the bell f that
God sends suffering to His chll-,1
dren. It was satisfied In the
thought of a heaven obtainable
only through death. It was1 firm
.n the conviction that God makes
a man .sick and then abandons
him to' the hopeless agency of ;
ever-changing, speculative, hu-
man theories to aain his health,
It was salUflrd to cloak its hope ;
for future happiness In the mys-lln
ticlsm and superstition of creeds,
dogma, pomp, ceremony, ritual
ism, and the like. It had not ser
iously thought of a present-diy
salvation and freedom from sick
ness, poverty, sorrow, and death
through prayer and spiritual un
derstanding, because it had been
tauKht and believed that all sal
vation must come after death. It
had never believed the statement
in the Bible that death la the
enemy of man and not an open
door to the kingdom of heaven.
It had not clearly sensed what
Jesus meant when he said that
"the kingdom of heaven Is at
hand; that Is, here and now.
and not vfur off. and that heaven
is within us within the realm of
consciousness or right thinking.
It had not understood those
words of Jesus, "If a man keep
my saying, he shall never see
death." The Bible had evidently
been, read only with eyes that
saw not. Too many had dele
gated their religious reading and
thinking to others with most dis
appointing consequences.
But there came a change, and
men gradually began to think
for themselves, to reason for
themselves, and to demand the
why's and wherefore's of those
things which the had theretofore
taken for granted. 'They began
no as a reason tor tnmgs, and
reason was not In that which
they had believed In the past.
Men were eager to believe the

Kddy. 1 had always believed '
that If healing of ,aicknes and
the like was accomplished in '
Jesus' time, it should always be
a part of Christianity. I found
also that if I were to understand!
Christian Science It would be nec
essary for me to understand more

tton Science offers a logical, de-:
monstrahle, scientific, and) most '

Bible from beginning to end, and1
from then on, Instead of being
a book of mystery, contradlc-;
Hon sr and abstractions, the Bible
became a chart of life, by which, I
when studied In the light of
Christian Science, I could work;
otit my everyday problems, be i
they physical, moral, or financial.
At this juncture two Incidents;
happened which greatly stimu
lated my Interest In the subject.
One of these was furnished by !
a well-known local minister of,
tha gospel who made the an
nouncement In a local newspaper
of his Intention to preach a I
series df sermons which would;
not only ''expose" Christian Sci-i
ence but which would. In his es-j
tlmation, provide its quietus, at j
least so far as that particular
locality was concerned. I readj
the report of one of these ser-J
mons and immediately became:
moro firmly set In my opinion!
that Christian. Science was -not,
only the truth but that it was,
just what I needed and Intended
to have.
The second little Incident was
that of the prosecution of a lo-i
